It has been clear for some time that we need new leadership at the Office of Homeless Services, and these numbers show why. We've wasted $50 million on ego, incompetence, and bloated bureaucracy, with no end in sight. Are you listening, @freddieoconnell.bsky.social? This is your legacy.

When asked today on WPLN's "Ask The Mayor" about the just launched MNPD drone deployment & how it bypasses the mandates in Section 13.08.080 of the Metro Code, which require a full Council resolution & a public hearing for any technology capable of public recording, Mayor Freddie O'Connell said,

The last time anyone truly spoke truth to power, and something that should shame every so-called journalist at the farce that is the White House correspondent's dinner 2026. m.youtube.com/watch?v=DDbx...

War. What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

The truth shall set you free.

If only we would see.

The Titans gave Nashville $250k to help people behind on their rent or mortgage because of the ice storm, accessed through the Metro Action Commission. 8000 more gifts and we'll have recouped the money we put out for the stadium! #housingfund #rooftopnashville #legalaidnashville

Please check on your neighbors, especially if you are without power. The warming stations in Nashville have opened. Now would be the time to get there before the roads refreeze. @whittlz.bsky.social @themanaen.bsky.social

Why does @mayor.nashville.gov continue to stand behind incompetent leadership at OHS & praise folks as our homeless numbers increase by 40%? With a weeks notice of a major storm coming we hand out flyers with the wrong address for the shelter. Indefensible. We wasted $50 million to stroke egos.

Call it Fascism. Act! #whitesupremacyisboring #notacosforwhitesupremacists #pullallTrumpcorporatecharters @thetnholler.bsky.social @theintercept.com @theonion.com @meidastouch.com @mehdirhasan.bsky.social @maddow.bsky.social @lincolnproject.us @briantylercohen.bsky.social @brianstelter.bsky.social

We need @aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov to start a party that will actually oppose this horror. Jeffries & Shumer are all that is wrong right now. Pelosi politics are of another century. We can't wait for deadheads to wake up. Oppose fascism or die. That's the choice. @thetnholler.bsky.social

Had to snap a quick pic before Wally dives into his favorite liver and garbage cake, with butt-sniff sprinkles. Nothing but the best for the birthday boy! #cowdog #supermutt

Border Patrol has literally no jurisdiction in Minneapolis. They are limited to 100 miles from border. They are rogue, acting illegally, immorally, and unconstitutionally and it's time for democratic leadership to stand up and start taking action. Rest them, then sue them. Not the other way around.

@aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov we can't wait for your leadership to grow a spine.We need action now! Arrest ICE lawbreakers, freeze Trump assets, strip corporate charters, stop waiting for courts. Do, don't sue. People's lives are on the line. Action not words. MAKE them take the gloves off.

Nashville representing for our immigrant neighbors. #iceoutforgood

Why can't we ID faces under masks? If we can undress people we should be able to remove masks & show the fascists for who they are. Where is that technology? We can't let these thugs walk around with impunity. They are not above the law, ever. @youranoncentral.bsky.social @youranonnews.bsky.social

Republicans quitting Congress & Massie should switch parties or become independent to switch control of the house. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain: your dignity, your country, and your place on the right side of history. We need you today. #bloodonyourhands #saveourddmocracy #nohate

Every Republican quitting Congress & Thomas Massie should switch parties to swap control of the house & stop this Trumpian nightmare now. If you care about our country, constitution & the rule of law, it's your duty. @maddow.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @thetnholler.bsky.social

This is great news. But it is absolutely unacceptable that it took so long and the voices of so many women were deemed not enough to move on this a long time ago. Do better @mayor.nashville.gov #believewomen

So I guess we now know for sure that 'assassination' attempt was staged. With that much aspirin in his system his ear wouldn't have clotted and stopped bleeding for hours. Instead it didn't even stain his shirt! #illiterati

What does this even mean??

Here’s a laugh to start your New Year, a musical short from 2004 24-Hour Film Festival in Nashville, when the facsists first came to DC town. It’s a good reminder that some things will never change. You may recognize a few folks, but don’t hold it against them! youtu.be/bbvaXoNfCBs?...

Must be something in the water in Indiana. 1st Pence & then the state Senate telling Trump to fuck off in his effort to overturn our democracy. True patriotism is the line that runs through all of us & that is the tie that binds. We will prevail against this evil. @indivisible.org @meidastouch.com

The GOP has always had the power, but now they must band together & throw Trump aside. A handful can stop this nightmare. He won’t save them & they will go down for the dumbest traitor to ever live. His power comes from their fear & he counts on it. Fools. @thetnholler.bsky.social @meidastouch.com

Time for someone to throw their hat in the ring to bring this quockerwodger down. Massive disappointment. @mayor.nashville.gov @freddieoconnell.bsky.social readrichtext.substack.com/p/no-means-n...

Wally’s human @whittlz.bsky.social is back and after all his canine carousing and treat treats, Wally’s ready to sit around and watch while she produces @citycastnash.bsky.social. If you see her, mums the word on the dog man’s escapades. He’s covered his tracks, so let’s let this partying dog lie!

Wally’s hanging at the Villager today with his bud Neil. They’re commiserating after the Nash SC loss last night & some hair of the human is definitely helping sooth the pain. Wally’s got one more solo night out before @whittlz.bsky.social returns and he has to shape up. Hmmm! #WallyDoesNashville

With his human @whittlz.bsky.social coming back in a couple of days, Wally is hitting it hard. Tonight it was lower broad with his posse, and bachelorettes will never be the same! He picked up the first round, but after that his bowl was never empty. He definitely left his mark! #WallyDoesNashville

Wally finally got his film developed, and man are there some great shots! Here he is with his buds celebrating Oktoberfest at his usual Sunday hang, Blackstone. @whittlz.bsky.social never mentioned how the Pilsner pup absolutely rocks in leiderhosen. He sure knows how to party! #WallyDoesNashville

Is there nothing Wally hasn’t done? He was part of the Goo Goo Cluster Summer Chef Series a few years back & was even featured in their ad! @whittlz.bsky.social was surprised, but one bite of Wally’s Goo Goo Garbage treat and she knew why he was walking with Nashville greats! #WallyDoesNashville

The big wins at the ballot box were a cause for celebration, and Wally was right on the front lines. He really missed @whittlz.bsky.social as he hung with Zohran at the big victory party. Next up for progressive pup? Door knocking for the next TN D7 Rep @aftynbehn.bsky.social! #WallyDoesNashville

Big Dog Weekly’s spread on Wally has some great memories. Here he is with his bud Anthony when A guested on Dumpster Divers. @whittlz.bsky.social would’ve scored big if she’d put his Garbage Goodie cookies out. They got better & better the longer they were outside in the heat! #WallyDoesNashville

Weekend fun is over! It was back to work today for Wally, as he hit the circuit to promote the new album. Guy is a natural in front of a camera, just smooth with the schmooze. Must have picked up some pointers from @whittlz.bsky.social. And early ratings are through the roof! #WallyDoesNashville

Who knew Wally was a spin meister! He did a guest set tonight on Radio Free Nashville and oh, what a good boy! Freddie O’s got nothing on him. @whittlz.bsky.social what do you call it when they hype their own single? Dog-sense? Everybody loved it, because Wally’s the dog man! #WallyDoesNashville

I can’t believe I almost forgot! It came up in memories today. Wally got the "He's the Bestest Boy" medal from President Obama in 2016. @whittlz.bsky.social downplays just how special this boy is! #WallyDoesNashville

Halloween is Wally’s favorite day of the year because his trick is a real treat. And he proved it again today when he took a little spin around the fairgrounds track and beat Danica Patrick at the flag. @whittlz.bsky.social didn’t even tell me he had a car! #WallyDoesNashville

It seems like Wally knows everyone! Here he is last night having some fun with his bestie Taylor. When does the dogman sleep? #WallyDoesNashville

Dude knows how to play! The monthly game with his homeys went Wally’s way last night, so @whittlz.bsky.social is gonna have a big bar tab when she returns. But you just can’t keep a good dog down! #WallyDoesNashville

Magic happens when #WallyDoesNashville gets together with his buddies from NWA. They teamed on ‘Looking For a Bitch’, the 1st single from Living a Dog’s Life, and last night’s release party was a blast. Word on the street is when @whittlz.bsky.social returns, it will already be topping the charts!

While his human @whittlz.bsky.social is cruising the Adriatic Sea for a couple weeks, Wally is living large! Today he attended a pep rally for the Texans in advance of Sunday’s game against the Broncos! Gotta love his team spirit! #WallyDoesNashville

Even NDOT got in the act! #NoKings

Nashville represents! #NoKings

Truer words were never spoken.

I guess you can spend a million dollars in K-Mart.

We’re here.

What does this even mean, “defying Trump?”He has only the power granted his office by the Constitution.Nothing more. It’s not defiance to refuse to acquiesce to his tantrums and power grabs.Most power under authoritarian regimes is freely given. Stop thinking it’s defiance to just say no. It’s law.

No. You don’t.

The #fascistfollies are out of control.Trump does not control the Smithsonian or the states.Our rights are not his to take or give away. So call it out. Bully back. WE do not consent to the #illiterati wreaking havoc. And no court, supreme or otherwise, can change that.They’re toast. So get ready.
