This is one of my sadder stories, for the Star's The Third Act series:

I was on The National last night. Important piece for Ontarians regarding what is going on in long-term care right now.

When I was a kid, libraries had “children’s” cards & you couldn’t borrow from the adult area till you were 12. I would choose books from the “adult” side & my mom would take them out tor me/no questions asked. I am well read, knowledgeable & undamaged from reading “adult” books.

Happening Now: Students are filling the halls of the legislature. (and @WilliamLamberth is talking down to Rep. @brotherjones_)

From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.
They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

BREAKING: Tennessee students are SWAMPING the state capitol, until the legislature finally changes gun laws.
Listen to Democratic state Democratic Rep. Justin Jones' quick report, then let him know in the replies you called the legislature to DEMAND the same!

“A resolution to expel Justin Jones from his seat as a member of the House of Representatives…”
Just handed this on the House floor, but they still have to vote. We’ll not be intimidated. THE PEOPLE are demanding we act to stop kids from being murdered in school. #goodtrouble

Tonight as Tennessee House Republicans push forward to schedule vote on our expulsion, Speaker Sexton orders the gallery cleared as crowd chants “fascists.”
Media forced out at as well.
Then, Rep. Lafferty (R-Knox) pushes me and grabs my phone.
This is a sad day for Tennessee.

We took to the House floor demanding justice to end the support of the NRA, end the support of gun violence, & end support of these guns. The @TNGOP continue to support gun violence to the detriment of children, parents, & families. We must never quit! @brotherjones_ @VoteGloriaJ

They would not expel an admitted child molester, but are now going to expel three members who spoke without permission. – at Nashville, TN

A week after six people were slaughtered in a Tennessee school shooting, House Republicans are taking action.
Not to stop gun violence.
But to silence voices who are calling for reform. We will not be silent. #TennesseeThree – at Nashville, TN
