People thought we could put guardrails on LPRs and FUSUS. Yet a LPR company is installing cameras against the wishes of city governments and Breaking IL laws by sharing access with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. evanstonroundtable.com/2025/09/24/f...

I know y’all are sick of hearing me say WE TOLD YOU SO, but targeting immigrants & people seeking abortions were 2 of our MAIN CONCERNS in this latest round of fighting surveillance in Nashville. DO YALL GET IT YET?? And most importantly, will you vote like you get it when surveillance comes back?

Kudos to the student representatives for speaking up against this tech that has been proven to be INCREDIBLY flawed - requiring intervention from the FTC a year ago www.ftc.gov/news-events/...

Again, I ask what other orders did the Fair Board Chair receive on just this text chain, or in any other communications with Bristol lobbyists? What privileged or confidential Metro information did the Fair Board Chair leak to Bristol’s lobbyists?

No one is safe anywhere. If you somehow haven’t yet, time to wake the fuck up.

Bob isn’t leaving for another job which really begs the question, what kind of fresh hell is the mayor’s office about to rain down on us?

Wow this is so shocking this never happens here except we see it happen every single day - especially amongst downtown powers - and our public & elected officials somehow think we’re too stupid to know exactly what they’re doing. worse, some of them have convinced themselves these are their ideas.

Look, the benches are being used and no one is getting splinters! 😱

We love to see it!!!

NEW: How does ICE actually use Palantir? A new cache of documents obtained by @justfutureslaw.bsky.social from 2014-2022 give us a fresh look at real examples of how the agency has used the technology to perform enforcement operations www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Mohammed is desperately trying to gather enough funds to get his family out of Palestina. Can we help them all out at all? You know the drill. Donate only if you can. Spread the word if you cannot. #GazaAid

NEW: CBP has been funneling DNA from US citizens—including kids—into the FBI’s crime database. Nearly 2,000 Americans swabbed, many with no charges. Once for violent offenders, CODIS is becoming a mass-surveillance archive. analysis by @georgetownprivacy.bsky.social

The bench-building & installing WILL continue until conditions improve (until our city stops actively attacking our most vulnerable neighbors while simultaneously refusing to implement infrastructure that both dignifies & protects ALL of us) Metro government will never do it, SO WE WILL 💪🏼❤️🔥

Thanks for joining us @nashvillescene.com ! Folks, don’t spend a dime with Avelo Air. They are currently the only passenger airline in the country that is taking money to do ICE’s dirty work of tearing families apart. Other airlines are watching - we WILL make an example of Avelo.

Sounds mighty familiar 🤔

Cheekwood is emblematic of how the nonprofit industrial complex functions. They take blood money & use it to brag about serving poor & marginalized communities - the same communities whose incarceration earns these disgusting companies their blood money. Look at most large NGOs in town - same story.

Here's something I always forget that most people don't know: finding & paying for your own attorney is the only realistic option for someone detained by ICE. There's no appointed counsel system, & limited non-profits who can only take a few at a time (if at all). These cases are a *lot of work*

$1390 to go! Please share & donate if you’re able. Thank you to everyone who has done so already ❤️

$1510 to go!! Let keep our neighbors in their housing 🙏🏼 thank you to everyone who has shared & donated so far! We take care of each other ❤️

Proactive safety approach on Broadway/downtown but everywhere else a bunch of people have to die or be severely injured before we’ll even consider a thing.

Update: $1950 to go! Thank you to everyone who has shared & donated ❤️

When a leader oversees a new department, which was formed out of an existing division, wouldn't you think their main focus is on setting up a transparent and compliant finance and budget process? Nobody says it's easy, but being transparent & getting the finances right ought to be #1 priority.

Stay informed of what's really going on at Metro. Yesterday, OHS went on record to say they have been in compliance. This statement was made just two weeks after Metro Council chastised them publicly for overpaying a contractor $500,000 without a valid contract! nashville.citycast.fm/podcasts

Gaza is a concentration camp. Ppl have been forced into smaller and smaller and smaller prisons. They are murdered seeking food and water. Housing is being destroyed for the sake of its destruction, no other.There are no military objectives except genocide, ethnic cleansing and land annexation.

Same Peter Thiehl who said he isn’t sure if the human race should continue to exist.

You don’t have any idea what the fuck people are going through right now if you don’t think this is the reality for many of us (myself included). For so many more, it’s much worse. Imagine being ripped away from your kids. Wake the fuck up & think about someone other than yourself for just a moment.

i want you to stay so that i can surveil you

❗️❗️❗️

Y’all, this is dark. It may seem fine & even good to some but if you understand that Nashville is becoming the center of technofascism in this country, you know how bad this is. Amazon, Oracle, Elon’s tunnel… many of the NIA’s initiatives will be weaponized against us to expand mass surveillance.

It’s me asking for money, again! 😅 Woke up to messages this morning for a mom of 2 & a local musician who really need support to remain in their housing. We need to raise $2375 in the next 2 days to make this happen. Thank you in advance 🙏🏼 Venmo: @NashvilleHousingHelp Cashapp: $NashvilleHousingHelp

benches don’t kill splinters do

Are the pro-surveillance people, including our local politicians, getting it yet??? Are you understanding what we warned you about is happening??? Do you understand now that any vote for surveillance is a vote for fascism? Is a vote that helps the government terrorize & lock up your neighbors??

I know I am risking the glow of the honeymoon phase with the overlapping circles becoming one but… abundance doesn’t work for a bunch of reasons & a lot of it is systemic racism. Many people are overlooking how powerful that is in shaping (ruining) our world & abundance won’t change that 😬

This is one of my favorite absurd accusations those of us who advocate for proven safety measures & against billions in money for policing & incarceration often get

Goal met!!! So grateful for everyone who shared & donated to get this family into safe & stable housing. We take care of each other ❤️

Action tomorrow… join us!

PARENTS I need your input! Tomorrow is day 3 with my nieces (ages 2 & 3.5) and I need you to tell me where to take them. Must be suited to an adult who may possibly be low-energy & involve water. We’ve got one swimmer & one non-swimmer but both very comfortable with water. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE 🫡🫡🫡

🙏🏻 car lanes were gone on arrival

No… no way there’s a downtown organization that has an absolutely outsized influence on both our quality of life and our ACTUAL lives. IF ONLY THEY GOT FUNDING THROUGH TAX MECHANISMS THAT OUR LOCAL GOV HAS CONTROL OVER, maybe we could exercise some power here.

Look at what the dangerous wooden benches did to our guy!!! jk jk it was a truck running him off the road on his bike, of course. (not ALL truck guys ((not me 😂 )) but it’s always a guy in a truck!) On 3rd Ave, no less. Should we just close all of 3rd Ave to cars altogether???

Y’all should see the bench! Their splinter attack puts up a nasty fight

did a bench do that to you?

You know what, in June, I did send a couple of emails to [email protected] around something downtown and asking for us to strive for transparency and accountability.
