"The stories we tell about ourselves matter."

A very insightful article by @campbell_haynes on the racist history I-40. I especially appreciate his imagining what a city response could look and the suggestion of a TRC 🙌

[Tennessee Lookout || tnlookout.bsky.social @TNLookout]

This morning, attorney @campbell_haynes on the legacy of I-40 in North Nashville and how leaders can still make amends. It’s a compelling read. https://t.co/Ntqn7lnRlI

[Rep. Bob Freeman @VoteBobFreeman]

Tonight I was fortunate enough to carry a resolution to honor and commend Nya Collins of #Teens4Equality for organizing a historic event that brought 10,000+ people to the streets of Nashville in peaceful protest. This group gives me hope for our future.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

In our 2015 #SayHerName report, we highlighted that sexual misconduct is the second most common form of police misconduct.

Patriarchy manifests violently in law enforcement. A robust critique of the police state must incorporate this disgusting reality.

[Kelli Nowers @KelliNowers]

Continuing to memorialize a racist murderer does not qualify as a “difficult decision.” Choose a side @GovBillLee.

[Kimberlee Kruesi @kkruesi]

Just going to put out Gov. Lee’s full quote responding to what he’s going to do about the Nathan Bedford Forrest bust #tnleg

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

Did you know the word "conspire" literally means "to breathe together"?
So let us conspire.
Let's plot goodness.
Let's create holy mischief.
Let's organize a revolution of love...
Because too many people are having a hard time breathing right now. #ICantBreathe

Nashville residents sent resounding message to city leaders during marathon meeting: Defund police and invest in community goods and services.

So disappointing... @Jim4ViceMayor finds peaceful, participatory democracy “bad politics.” I am so proud of every person who showed up about the budget last night via email and in person. This is how change happens. @nashpplsbudget

[Lonnie Lee Hood @LonnieLeeHood]

Councilman just addressed those waiting to speak at the #Nashville council meeting, saying we are “playing fun and games.” That we are ruining the cause. Security and police grab for their guns. We are sitting down!

[Kelli Nowers @KelliNowers]

Protecting communication between a victim and their advocate encourages more victims to seek services and speak out. Let's get this bill passed in TN and align our state with the 37 other state legislatures that already have this confidentiality status in place.

[AWAKE @AwakeTN]

Action Alert! Our Advocates Confidentiality Bill has passed in the TN Senate and will be voted on in the House Judiciary committee tomorrow night. Call your state representatives by 5pm tomorrow 6/2 and ask them to support our bill and protect victim/advocate confidentiality.

My writing genre is quickly becoming "feisty poetry that doesn't rhyme" and I am here for it.

[Kelli Nowers @KelliNowers]

What in the actual world is happening in TN? This is a ridiculous waste of time and an embarrassment.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

HIGHLIGHTS: Resolution to call @CNN & @washingtonpost “FAKE NEWS” Passes subcommittee

TN GOP Rep. @MicahVanHuss (who once cited @TheOnion as evidence) wastes taxpayer💰to “troll liberals”, even as @VoteBo points out Fox insults the other half of 🇺🇸
