Four people died over Easter weekend on our roads, all under 31 years old. Two more people were killed crossing Lafayette, after someone was seriously injured a week prior. Pedestrian fatalities are up significantly year-to-date. We need more resources and urgency for Vision Zero, not less

Another example of exactly what we all said was being done and would continue to be done using LPRs. They're functioning & being used as designed. Any politician who attempts to or votes to implement LPRs in 2026 is complicit in stalking, harassment and kidnapping of our neighbors.

5 new benches downtown! (3 of them pictured below). Thank you to everyone who joined us. A beautiful day for our library to reopen and for more seating for everyone. We will not rest until everyone has the right to rest! We will not stop until the dozens of benches removed downtown are reinstalled.

Surveillance is a one-way ratchet toward authoritarianism. Yes, even by private companies. Even when people “consent.” Even when the company gives you “free” stuff, or let you stand in a shorter line, or make your life more convenient somehow.

Join us on Monday to celebrate the reopening of the Downtown Library & place some benches! These will be just a fraction needed to replace all of the benches the city has removed downtown over the years, most recently on KVB. Our bench movement builds upon the work of those before us 🙏🏼💪🏼❤️

We're about to see a big license plate reader push via MNPD budget request & everyone better get on board with fighting it. We're one of the last major cities in the country to have held off mass implementation of LPRs. If you give a shit about yourself, your kids & other people, you'll fight this.

“We spoke with The Hamburglar about the new beautiful hamburgers the community provided to replace the ones he took”

read Robin's whole thread! this article misses the mark in every way possible. the reporter only speaking to the council member who helped get the benches on KVB removed is certainly... a choice.

so cool to see Paris keep electing bike and pedestrian advocates as mayor and wishing ours would actually do something meaningful.

lol thought this guy was supposed to be the bike mayor or something

today was beautiful 🥹 50+ new benches out into our communities. Thank you all! We couldn't do this without you ❤️

Some good news, for now 🙏🏼

People like Robin Owen are such a shining light of what this city is and can strive to be. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

Very important piece that includes details of how Flock and Fusus - 2 companies we have been fighting (& beating) for years in Nashville - are 2 of the main tools used to fuel the terror & kidnapping of our neighbors. We will never stop fighting the billionaires, politicians & lobbyists behind this.

Surely if @nashvilledot.bsky.social can remove 17 benches in (allegedly) a few days, they can get rid of these Titans signs in the ROW all over town in a single morning.

Out winter canvassing & just met a woman who was in tears telling me how WeGo's security, Archangel, kicked her out of the station last night into the rain & dangerous storms while threatening to call the cops. WeGo consistently treats poor people worse than any entity in this city (besides cops).

This is not the first time this country does this to Latinos. They did it to my grandfather during the Bracero Program. This is torture. Abolish ICE.

This is horrifying 😭🤬💔

"At the end of those five days, the filing reads, she was brought to a shower room and told to strip naked. An officer poured a disinfecting liquid — possibly used to clean floors — over her body. Rodríguez said her eyes burned. The woman who’d helped her was watching and began to cry." 🤬sickening

But even more importantly, after seeing a bench rescue picture from today, Elizabeth has named @jspencersharpe.bsky.social , @themanaen.bsky.social and I "bald, beard and beanie" 💀💀💀

benches goa

Many are like this one I replaced today at Shelby Ave & S 8th Street. There are no ADA or ped facilities whatsoever. Thus, there is no ADA violation by placing it here. Please also note the desire path trodden down at this stop by our fellow community members. All the best. /end

I’d like to respond to the boilerplate NDOT response circulating to CMs and the public regarding benches put in the right of way: Those who’ve put out benches have been incredibly judicious and caring about violating ROW and ADA concerns. 1/2

We have painstakingly placed our benches in the most considerate of ways. If you don't think we are always concerned w/ blocking walkways, wheelchair access, etc, then you don't know us. This is THE highest priority of every single bench we've placed. Suggestions to the contrary are insulting.

NDOT removed the benches because ALLEGEDLY they were in the ROW but they're working to permit our benches in the ROW. Make it make sense.

Happy to report the benches were all rescued in an operation conducted this morning. They are in a secure location, ready for their imminent return to the streets & the people of Nashville.

We WILL repeat this mission for our 17 benches currently being held hostage. FREE OUR BENCHES

This is so shitty. Nashville is a corporate free-for-all. Whataburger is allowed to block sidewalks, that horrific stadium practically blocks the sun, a bunch of bar owners can blow up the library BUT NASHVILLE WILL NOT TOLERATE CITIZENS HELPING EACH OTHER. “Music City” my ass 🤡

Mayor to people who campaigned for him because they wanted to stay and who are simply trying to create community and public safety in this increasingly technofascist city where only the ultra-wealthy are comfortable: drop dead

and yet

we will never stop multiplying. the unforced PR nightmares this city's leadership CHOOSES is truly astonishing.

GIVE US OUR DAMN BENCHES BACK!!! ❗️❗️The bench building will continue until conditions improve ❗️❗️

They are coming for people no matter their legal status! No one is safe. If you have a business that would like a free training on the 4th Amendment, please reach out. You might not think it's an issue for your workplace yet, but don’t wait until ICE is inside to find out you weren't prepared.

ICE is moving people faster & faster. In October, a friend was taken from his home. By the afternoon, he was in Putnam County. They said he'd be there for a couple days. Next day, we rushed there to get him paperwork for legal rep but he was already on his way to Knox Co & in Louisiana the next day.

We will be sharing ways you can help us demand Estephany's release soon 🙏🏼 for now, please share this GoFundMe her husband has started: www.gofundme.com/f/prayers-an...

This one is hitting very hard. Estefany does incredible work, especially informing people of ICE detentions/activity. Her reporting kept people safe & put her at risk. During the winter storm she was everywhere - directing people to food/resources, spreading info in Spanish, etc. Bring her home!🖕🏼ICE

truly unbelievable that a single Ring super bowl ad did what some of us have been working on for years - making people understand the dangers of surveillance tech. fortune.com/2026/03/03/c...

This continues to be an issue with mainly wealthy & white people signing up for comment. The council staff does not let us trade out spots, hold spots or sign up without an ID. Egregious example of preferential treatment for business interests & wealthy constituents. Whose responsibility is this??

As of last night, The Remix Way has distributed 18,200 hot meals this week. It's been an absolutely enormous, all volunteer-run effort. We are exhausted but we've done it because we deeply love & care for our neighbors and want them to know they have not been abandoned or forgotten ❤️

Listen I'm never satisfied with a journalist 💀 but credit where credit is due, this man not only saved a tray of burritos during his second fall, he also jumped in to help us try to push a car stuck on ice (which we ended up having to haul out of its spot). This Steve is currently on my good side 😂

It's brutal out there y'all. If you see anyone outside, please help them get inside. Yesterday we gave a friend this blanket & these protein shakes. He wasn't ready to go in to shelter. When I went to check on him today, he was gone & everything he had was frozen. I hope he made it inside 🥺🙏🏼

Really wish I was making this shit up. They literally put the wrong address for THEIR OWN SHELTER and we had to flag it to them. The levels of incompetency are utterly unbelievable. They gave these to service providers and every single PIT count team to hand out Thursday night.

We'll be out as much we can be this weekend! Heading out now to give folks rides to shelter, deliver supplies and check on our neighbors. We need everyone doing what they can to get us all through this brutal snow, ice & bitter cold. We take care of each other ❤️ www.tennessean.com/picture-gall...

The reason Nashville is one of the only cities in the entire country that doesn't have license plate readers is because of community members fighting like hell over the past 5ish years to protect our neighbors. No matter how exhausted we are, we will never, ever give up this fight.

Oh I didn’t realize the official government social media accounts were doing propaganda now. Thought that was reserved for politicians’ accounts. Cool cool cool.

Lol mayor's office thinks we're dumb enough to believe none of this is coming from our tax dollars.

If you are a "progressive" elected official pushing FUSUS or working with LexisNexis or Flock (or Oracle). You should also go on trial after the regime falls for helping build the fascist surveillance state.
