Important MEMPHIS VIDEO: A) @justinjpearson.bsky.social is off to the side, banning him is absurd. B) councilwoman cooper-Sutton started the yelling, people chanted AFTER they had gaveled out into recess. Much different than the prevailing narrative.

It's already illegal. Congress banned it near-unanimously in 2022. That law allows the ban to be lifted only if Russia withdraws from Ukraine. He's simply breaking the law that's already on the books.
