This storm has now crossed over into Williamson County. ETA to Franklin is 30 minutes. It might crap out before then. 440pm.

3:12p / Storm has weakened a bit, but some wind gusts up to 60mph are still possible as it slowly drifts south towards Antioch and Cane Ridge. buff.ly/yabUKV3

talked to Hayes Carll (!) for Don't Rock The Inbox (!); he's a mensch, as one would hope. read all about it here: www.dontrocktheinbox.com/issue-112-ha...

Lucinda Williams is opening her own bar, and, no, it’s not in Nashville. Rather, the Americana grand dame is bringing country music and honky-tonk vibes to New York’s East Village with “Lucinda’s,” making its official debut on Thursday at 169 Avenue A

Trump is sending ICE to blue cities to enact the "largest mass deportation program in history" and Chicago is at the top of the list. I'm calling for every Democratic leader and candidate to stand against ICE, to call for its abolition, and to materially support immigrants. Inaction is complicity.

There are widespread reports of ICE agents abducting people while masked, without warrants or identification. Due to recent events, we strongly advise: do not open your door or car for anyone you don’t know. That’s the message. No need to elaborate.

A win! A federal judge has ordered the government to restore hundreds of NIH grants slashed by the Trump administration, ruling the cuts were discriminatory against minorities and LGBTQ individuals. The judge said he’d have to be “blind” not to see the discrimination and declared the cuts illegal.

“We did steal from the state” Robin Smith, who pleaded guilty, told the court they stole — but Casada/Cothren lawyers downplay the amount ($51,000) saying it was pre-expenses, and claim it isn’t up to Smith to say if they “stole” it since they delivered the mail pieces.

it really is astounding that a presidential administration crashed the growth trajectory of the wealthiest country on the planet in basically two months

If you're interested in organizing with UMAW as a worker in the musical arts but you don't have a lot of money to put toward dues right now (that's a lot of folks in music, TBH), you should know they have a simple dues waiver for both new and renewing members: actionnetwork.org/forms/member...

Nature is calling. 🤗☀️🌎

After calling 77yo Black Dem Al Green “boy”, @RepHarshbarger (who lied about protecting Medicaid) refuses to apologize — and taunting those who think she should. Reminder: not having enough humility and grace to apologize is a weakness, not a strength. www.thedailybeast.com/al-green-res...

This is your regular reminder that executive orders are not royal decrees. Because America has no king.

Strong moment from AOC’s speech in Utah

Sanders: We’re here in so-called conservative Utah, and tomorrow we’ll be in Idaho—because we believe that in every state in this country, people are prepared to stand up and fight back

Pushback works, part gazillion: "Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices." popular.info/p/how-the-so...

We’re often targeted for the numbers we post online. No, we can’t explain everything—sorry! But here’s what we can tell you: cell-site simulators are real. These devices mimic legitimate cell towers to intercept communications.

Today is the last day to pre-sabe your username on the soon to be released @theneptuneapp.bsky.social ! Go get it! theneptuneapp.com

When this is over, no forgiveness for those involved. There will be trials. There will be consequences. 😡😡😡

We’ve set up a new task force to help keep you safe. At the last nationwide protest, 11 MAGA supporters were arrested for assaulting peaceful protesters—thanks to local authorities. We have coalition members at protests across the country to help monitor and stand alongside you.

What you did this weekend was historic. And this is just the beginning. Our message:

CHICAGO…

Tornado Watch now canceled for Davidson Co. Still going on for Williamson but I'll be shocked if we get a warning tonight. The concern remains FLASH FLOODING / 719 PM

Keep downplaying the protests at your own peril. Keep threatening Americans. The protests will only get bigger. Trump is hated. Musk is hated. The political winds have shifted. People are fed up. This is only the beginning.

Alienate our allies Crash the market Devalue the dollar Spike prices Dismantle the federal government Cause immigrants to live in fear Make others not want to come here If you made a blueprint for how to hurt 🇺🇸, it would look a lot like this Putin is enjoying the show

Please share!!! This is getting ridiculous—they just can’t accept a loss. Please help spread the word to North Carolina. The North Carolina Court of Appeals ruled in a 2-1 decision that over 60,000 votes cast in last year’s closely contested state Supreme Court race must be verified and recounted.

🔥 OBAMA: “IMAGINE IF I HAD DONE ANY OF THIS… I say this not on a partisan basis. This has to do with something more precious — who are we as a country, and what values do we stand for?” 🇺🇸

Fun with new friends, Ariel, Cooper, and Gus. #AdventuresinPetSitting

HRRR drops a line of heavy rain with some severe potential between 8 AM and 9 AM in the morning.

Senator Booker: What kind of man is in the white house that makes fun of the disabled, who lies so much that the fact checkers lose count, that minimizes the pain and the suffering

ICYMI — SENATOR BOOKER: “I rise to disrupt the business of the senate for as long as I am physically able… because I believe sincerely our country is in crisis.” 🇺🇸

Individuals are being disappeared by the Trump administration. A Maryland man who was legally residing in the United States was deported to El Salvador and subsequently imprisoned due to what officials described as an “administrative error.” In a court filing, the Trump administration argued that

🤗 Signs of the season. Happy Spring, friends! 🌸🌱🌼🪻🌷

The only fair way to handle this is to appoint a team of teenagers to tear this company limb from limb until we find out what kind of financial damage they are hiding and where

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific. If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Happy Spring Equinox!

NEW: Flash Flood Warning for Davidson County. This is for that is *anticipated* to fall soon. Flash flooding will happen quickly with the high rain rates.

If you're unsure of what to do in this situation, take a moment and familiarize yourself with what to do....

12:16 pm, winds to 40 and pea-size hail possible in NW Davidson with these storms coming through over the next hour.

40 mph winds and pea-size hail possible in this little cell coming into Franklin. 10:15 am

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.
