In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

out here still telling people to vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social even in the middle of a Mumford & sons concert

anyway Chaz Molder for CD05 ❤️‍🔥

important profile photo update ✨

I’ve read countless ECGs in the ER but I’ve never heard of using them to measure someone’s cardiac age. Is the presidents doctor full of shit or is he being forced to lie? #MedSky

How it feels to listen to Taylor without a little BITCH whining in your ear that tloas isn’t good

this sucks

After his presser with Trump, Netanyahu posts a video in Hebrew telling Israelis the IDF won’t really leave Gaza, and if theres no deal (to put Trump in charge of ‘developing’ Gaza) they’ll continue the onslaught (an + starvation campaign with Trump’s support (and 🇺🇸 bombs/money)

The last time the U.S. hosted the World Cup, a ticket to the final was <$200 — in today's dollars. Next year, we're looking at *face value* tickets of $6,000. I joined Lina Khan on @pablotorrefindsout.bsky.social last week to talk about FIFA's absurd and greedy ticketing plans.

Get out there and vote early!

Unfortunately, everyone who predicted the rapture still seems to be here

MEMPHIS: “Our founding fathers didn’t overthrow a monarch just to see another replace it… The solution to crime is opportunity, not occupation.” Councilwoman + candidate for governor @jerrigreen4tn rips Trump & @govbilllee for sending in troops, warns other cities they’re next.

In case facts still matter…

Sucks for locals. Sucks for visitors. We need BNA Express Service NOW

why

so what’s everyone up to today

Trump had a bad week in court last week: 1. Broad Tariffs without Congress - illegal 2. Harvard funding freeze - illegal 3. National Guard to LA - illegal 4. Alien Enemies Act - can’t use 5. Cutting $12 billion in funding that Congress already approved - illegal

RFK Jr. should’ve never been confirmed, & he’s proven that every day since. Children are literally dying from measles because of his lies & reckless anti-vax agenda. He is a threat to our health & our democracy. Public office has no place for deadly, deranged delusion. It’s time for him to resign.

After Trump was elected in 2016, I left the UN and came home because Tennessee is worth fighting for. For nearly a decade, I’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with communities across this state — and we’ve won real battles.

We have a Republican trifecta with a Democratic SUPERMINORITY with no checks and balances and the worse case of state preemption in the country and the NASHVILLE ESTABLISHMENT is to blame for our woes???????? The girl was too stunned to speak.

I read this as mitochondria 😭

Today we learned that in June the US economy lost jobs for the first time since 2020. We haven’t seen this kind of net job loss since - well, since the last time Trump was in charge.

Important post by our founder, Melissa Sautter. If you're still on the sidelines during this special election in TN's CD7, please read this and learn why you need to get in the fight! 🦞

CHATTANOOGA: “The father of a CSAS student who died by suicide is turning his family's grief into action… just weeks after @hamcoschools voted to cut funding to Centerstone, a non-profit providing in-school counseling to students.” www.facebook.com/share/p/16ZL...

just another reason why I won’t
