I think Trump, Vance, etc, would agree with her on this, and hope people will encourage them to keep saying so out loud. Not to support them makes you/us losers.

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Not the first time a tyrant has been plagued by frogs.

I strongly recommend everyone listen to this Nobel announcement speech. He not only honors this remarkable woman, but he speaks to the defense of democracy against authoritarianism. 🔥☮️

Holy cow is Knoxville in the 7th district too? More like someone living rent free in their heads.

Gonna be thinking about this lede for a minute.

Goodness gracious

Today is primary Election Day, district 7… go vote! And if you ask me #VoteForAftyn

Went to a MLK Day speech by Joy Reid a few years ago and she expressed a lot of gratitude, to her mentors and to her country. She did not thank JD Vance and it seems that’s got him all worked up.

This is the time of year that I tell people I will see them again in 4 months and when we realize that means February our minds are blown

Still calling it Obamacare 15 years later is certainly a choice.

Sure hope Vanderbilt doesn’t take this “deal”

Helpful, and ultimately hopeful. Maybe.

Update from Portland: supplies running low. Please send fig jam and artisanal cheeses. For the jam, prefer GF, vegan, small batch, processed by a guy named River, who only stirs it during Mercury retrograde.

Not only policy that doesn’t exist but technology and science that doesn’t exist. Will at least celebrate Donald Trump— advocate for universal health care, apparently

Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

When Trump spews his bullshit about an American city, or university, or whatever, it’s vitally important that locals provide these simple but effective rebuttals

I'm not a big MLS fan, but I see the Portland Timbers are playing all their games and even doing pretty well, despite playing in a war ravaged city. And Powell's Books, the world's largest independent bookstore, is holding book readings pretty much every night. Impressive. Like London 1940.

@aria-gerson.bsky.social hey now lol

Some states are enacting medical debt laws as the Trump administration pulls back federal protections. Elsewhere, industry opposition has derailed legislation.

Seeing a lot of folks in distress about the extremely low turnout in Tennessee’s D7 congressional special election primary. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this race - I live in D7, & 1 candidate has asked me for support. Nobody has asked me my thoughts, but boy do I have them… /1

These tweets should be set to “We Do what We’re Told” @itspetergabriel.bsky.social the man who taught me in 1986 about Dr. Milgram

It should be a very short episode because all it should say is no, it’s not legal.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59

I’m no expert but found this helpful as I try to understand the authoritarianism

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Religion note: Kilmeade is Catholic. Catholic groups are among the many that work with the unhoused daily in the U.S., including in New York City.

Wish someone in Nashville media would get Dr. Schaffner (whom I love) on camera and ask why VUMC doesn’t make Covid vaccine available to hospital employees. Not required… just available on request. Then ask Ascension & TriStar… do they? (I don’t know about them.)

There is a lot about 2025 Covid vaccine access that makes me mad, but I think hospitals/ health systems not making it available to employees may be the worst

@nashseverewx.com Lima bean sized hail in Vandy area about 5 min ago for about 30 sec. Not huge but quite something to be standing outside in. #tspotter

MAFA: Make America Febrile Again

See this in medical practice all the time and really happy to have a name for it (something more professional than “gullible”):

I can

My story on Vanderbilt volleyball's home opener — an outdoor game with students just feet from the court that showcased the Commodores' athletic style of play: www.tennessean.com/story/sports...

A New Haven high schooler is heading home after several weeks in ICE detention. As his lawyer addressed supporters today, she choked up: “To be a lawyer in this era … the swiftness with which people are moved, the aggression of it all, it takes a toll.”

Went to WDW this summer. Definitely found this to be true.

Our hearts go out to the families in Minn who are experiencing what no family should ever have to experience. Also in our thoughts are the many victims of gun violence who are reliving their own trauma upon hearing this news. At what point do our children become more important than all the BS!?

Suppose someone's child is gunned down. If one of you says to them, "Here are my thoughts and prayers," but does nothing else, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. - James 2:15-17 (with a modern update)

You know that nightmare where you realize you’ve forgotten a college class and the final is tomorrow? That is the vibe with construction around Vanderbilt Stadium this week.

Rangappa: Do you believe that Ghislaine Maxwell is guilty? Ferguson: Yes Rangappa: She denied her guilt the interview. Ferguson: Most criminals lie, newsflash. That's, like, not shocking. Rangappa: Then why on Earth would you believe anything she said?

I get upset when the local paper covers the Vols more than Vandy so you can imagine how I feel about this nonsense

This coming Monday is the 105th anniversary of the ratification of the 19th amendment. The story of how it happened in Nashville, TN is also the story of why Moral Mondays are happening across the South. More here: open.substack.com/pub/ourmoral...
