I tweet about football, the occasional current event, and Jesus.

Hey @ATT why is our internet always experiencing outages in Nashville?? Seriously the WORST!

Not lost on me that a black queer artist and a white country singer came together to sing a song about belonging.

America is starved for connection across divides and that performance shows how much music has the power to heal. #grammys #tracychapman

if you think Jason Kelce going bonkers at a football game is cool, but are annoyed by Taylor Swift cheering, you might just hate women

@NashSevereWx 6 inches at noon in South Nashville near the zoo! #tSpotter

@LSRobinson21 any reason why yesterday’s podcast isn’t on Spotify yet?

[Marion Smyser @marionsmyser]

Dear @MNPDNashville, it’s got to be illegal to have a live mariachi band at 10:40pm in a residential neighborhood, right?!

[Marion Smyser @marionsmyser]

Hey @NashSevereWx, can you start doing daily updates on what the weather is looking like for the @taylorswift13 concert next weekend? 👀🙈🫣

It is beyond offensive that the first firearms legislation that the Tennessee Senate has passed in the wake of the Covenant School tragedy is a bill to protect gun manufacturers from civil liability.

To recap, Tennessee Republicans got a week of thrashing on the national stage, Democrats got money and attention they’ve only dreamed of for years, and Justin Jones didn’t miss a day of session since his expulsion.

Nashville politics have made the news quite often lately. A lone blue dot in an ocean of Middle TN red, Music City serves as the anchor for its rapidly growing metro area. Its suburbs are renowned for their conservatism, but under the hood things are beginning to change.

This @nytimes story about how the faith community in Nashville is processing the hurt and senseless gun violence this Easter really says it all. (NYT- no paywall) #EnoughIsEnough

Where can I get a No Justins, No Peace t-shirt?

NEW: “According to Shelby County Commissioner Erika Sugarmon, leaders in Nashville threated to pull state funding for projects in the Memphis area if commissioners were to reappoint @Justinjpearson.”🤔 #TennesseeThree

🗣️@JamaalBowmanNY: “I want to see the @memgrizz refuse to play an NBA game because of what happened… I want to see @UTKnoxville players — who are mostly Black —- refuse to play a game…” #TennesseeThree @Justinjpearson @brotherjones_

[Joey Garrison @joeygarrison]

Unprecedented, yes. But also just bad politics by Tennessee House speaker @CSexton25.

He's turned three Democratic lawmakers - with no power in Tennessee's GOP supermajority - into national heroes of the left.

[Holly McCall @jhollymc]

Next up, Sergeant at Arms is reading the expulsion charges for @Justinjpearson. I predict he gets expelled and to expel two young, Black men is a really, really, really, really bad look in the state where the KKK was founded.

[Holly McCall @jhollymc]

Votes needed for expulsion were 66. The move to expel her failed by 1 vote. Chanting "Gloria! Gloria!" starts up.
