@JohnRoseforTN @TennesseeEMA This is your district! What are you doing to help?

[Tess Lantos @tesslantos]

@JohnRoseforTN Hi! A huge part of your district is suffering in Nashville. What are you doing about it?

@SMedsker @NashSevereWx We just lost one in Inglewood.

This is the absolute worst traffic management system I’ve ever seen. I have been stuck in traffic for over 2 and a half hours. I’ve gone four blocks. No one has a clue how to get out or what roads are even open. @freddieoconnell #nashville #nashvillemarathon

[Tess Lantos @tesslantos]

Traffic management should also know where to go. They have directed me I circles, yelled at me, and not known what roads are open. People are crying, moving cones, doing dangerous things. It’s a disaster

[Tess Lantos @tesslantos]

@MNPDNashville The car traffic pattern is absolutely awful though. Road were kept open with no exit. Standing still for over an hour now. Road should have closed.

I almost cried reading this. Please do look.

Three women challenging Texas’ abortion laws testified today in court.

One could barely get words out through her tears. Another ran to the restroom as soon as she was done, wretched sobs wracking her tiny body. A third threw up on the witness stand.

[wells (wants a better world) @WellsLucasSanto]

actors are on strike, writers are on strike, teamsters are on strike, hotel employees are on strike, grad students are on strike, health care workers are on strike... can we realize there are deep systemic issues in this country yet

The moment we are living through is one conservative strategists have been building towards for decades.

Where it doesn’t matter who controls Congress or the White House, bc conservatives control the courts.

And (by grabbing power) the court has the last word.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

The same court that abolished affirmative action yesterday because it pretends to believe affirmative action allows unconstitutional discrimination based on race is perfectly fine with discrimination based on sexuality.

[Michael Eric Dyson @MichaelEDyson]

This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.

Organized by @voices4saferTN, about 6,000+ people are now making a human chain from @VUMCchildren to the State Capitol to call for tougher gun control laws.

BREAKING

Tennessee House Speaker @CSexton25 secretly bought a 600K home in Nashville

He went to extensive efforts to shield the purchase from the public

It raises serious Qs about whether Sexton legally represents his district and whether he is misusing taxpayer funds
