I planted sunflowers in a fit of rage and grief the day of the Covenant shooting. This weekend, I noticed the first blooms of that chaotic seeding appeared and it sparked a lot of emotions. But they’re just so pretty I have to share.

Be good to each other folks.

"If you go out with Bill Beck anywhere in Madison, everybody came up to Bill, and everybody knew exactly who he was. And that’s why I jokingly referred to him as the ‘Prince of Madison’ because he really was royalty," Rep. @JRClemmons tells @BlaiseGainey. https://t.co/KRW1PW8OIK

Covenant School parents do not want the assailant’s writings to be made public. WPLN's @MariannaBac reports a Nashville judge has ruled they can make their case before the court while it considers a suit seeking to release documents related to the shooting.https://t.co/r1RLbQdCGO

Weirdly, in closing arguments, the state's attorneys requested that--should the law be found unconstitutional--U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Parker should only apply that unconstitutionality to Shelby County, and not the rest of the state.

This is kind of wild.

Hell yeah! Congrats to everyone at @WPLN , but ESPECIALLY the brilliant work done by @rosegilbert99. She's a tremendous journalist and storyteller and I'm grateful we as Nashvillians are lucky with to have her.

Great work!

[Rachel Iacovone @racheliacovone]

I know @ambriehlc got this win for her incredible storytelling on such a difficult subject, but the creative ways she made sure this reporting reached the community it was covering deserves a shoutout of its own.

Like, postering! Who thinks of that in this digital media world?

[Rose Gilbert @roseamgilbert]

Governor Bill Lee has signed a bill that abolishes the Community Oversight Boards in Nashville and Memphis.

The new law does allow Metro Council to create a new oversight committee, but they would lose their ability to conduct independent investigations.

Nashville’s government employs nearly 10,000 Tennesseans. WPLN's @cindy_abrams reports a new eight-year analysis from the Metro Human Relations Commission shows struggles with diversity and equity across all 51 departments. https://t.co/XWcH9Vw35l

So glad that this story about the hard work of @alexyoun is airing again today. @propublica and @WPLN are looking for stories similar to this one — if you know someone who was harmed with a gun the perpetrator should not have had, get in touch: https://t.co/azlmJecp57
