🔥👇🏽: “I’m @MarshaBlackburn — I called for a special session… Cuz we’re 51st in Ed spending? NO… Cuz we have the highest infant mortality rate? NO… Cuz we have 0 job growth and can’t afford groceries? NO… Cuz farmers are suffering? NO… to take votes from Black people!”😕

HAPPENING NOW: “WHOSE STATE? OUR STATE! @GovBillLee sold out Tennessee… this is about to be a very long week for their asses….” Protestors greet Republicans like @SenBrentTaylor here to strip representation from majority Black MEMPHIS to protect a corrupt president

WATCH — @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “Who here believes in Medicare for All?” *CROWD ROARS* “And who believes it's time to abolish ICE?” *CROWD ROARS* #MedicareForAllNOW

Thank you @herboldmove! There’s a reason why laws are being made about women’s bodies without their consent, and why the ERA never passed: women haven’t been in the room where it happens. I’m here to take my seat at the table, and in the people’s house. #mandycook4tn #lethercook #cookingupchange

Democrats just flipped Pearland, Texas. Quentin Wiltz has defeated Republican Tony Carbone in the mayoral race — turning a red seat blue.

REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social : “Well, that concludes our 250 year 🇺🇸 experiment, because Grandma Gone Wild @MarshaBlackburn decided to eliminate the last Democratically held seat in Tennessee, in MEMPHIS, where 65% of the constituents are Black. We need international attention on this.”

Thank you @nwpctn for the endorsement! It is an honor! I take this endorsement seriously and will represent the people of district 45 of Tennessee the way they deserve. #mandycook4tn #lethercook #cookingupchange #tennessee #nwpctn

TONIGHT: Join the May Day Strong mass call to learn more about the importance of economic disruption as a tactic in fighting authoritarianism, and how you can take part in the nationwide day of action on Friday.

Memphis is majority Black and overwhelmingly Democratic and Rep John Rose and republicans cannot wait to strip them of representation and make Tennessee a 9-0 state

Senate Democratic Leader Sen. Raumesh Akbari released a statement today after a 6-3 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in Louisiana v. Callais effectively gutted Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Read the full statement on Substack. open.substack.com/pub/tnsenate...

If you live near Nashville use this opportunity to meet a candidate for governor of TN. #TNpol

“We’re asking people to not just show up on a Saturday, but actually flex the economic power that you have.” @ezralevin.bsky.social and @maddow.bsky.social talk about the many ways you can join us on May Day, and why a nationwide day of economic disruption is how we prepare to protect the midterms.

A wasted FBI Director. On the job always. And wasted. Was he wasted when there was a terrorist attack in DC and two National Guard soldiers were shot in the head??? Or when Savannah Guthrie’s mom was abducted??

Straight up milking the market

A convicted felon as President of the United States talking about removing criminals is the very definition of hypocrisy.

“THERE’S GOING TO BE A DAY OF RECKONING.” 🔥REPUBLICAN Senator Briggs eviscerates William Lamberth, Jack Johnson & @GovBillLee’s $300,000,000/year private school voucher scam — pointing out it’s a budget-exploding bait-and-switch coupon for the wealthy not helping poor kids as promised.

Yet again, Senate Republicans (and their colleague Fetterman) have blocked Democrats’ legislation aimed at stopping Trump’s illegal war on Iran. Email your senators and urge them to keep fighting (or let them know how you feel about their latest betrayal): act.indivisible.org/sign/no-iran...

Holy shit. I don’t have words for how corrupt this is. Keep in mind, the Ukraine whistleblower is still anonymous. And Gabbard kept a whistleblower report from Congress about a call between foreign intel agents discussing someone close to Trump and Iran. @andrewbakaj.bsky.social

Early voting results yesterday in Sumner County: 668 votes (out of 141.5k registered). Go to the polls. Pull a Dem primary ballot, even if there’s no one on it. Vote for a candidate listed or write in a friend. Do your civic duty. Get a sticker! More info here! www.votesumnertn.org/uploads/file...

The @tndems.bsky.social highlight 3 vulnerable Republicans who just voted to steer $300,000,000 to private school vouchers for kids already in private schools while our public schools remain wildly underfunded: Gillespie (Memphis) Lankford (Clarksville) Davis (Knoxville)

WATCH — @aoc.bsky.social: “What law would you want to make?” 🔥 SMART KID: “🇺🇸 needs to let people go to the doctor free, because in other places they have it free.” #MedicareForAllNOW

It’s time to get out the vote! Early voting is OPEN in Sumner County! Remember to pull a dem primary ballot – whether you have a candidate or not, that data helps us win! Tag your favorite candidate in the comments! Find early voting locations here! www.votesumnertn.org/uploads/file...

Early voting starts tomorrow, we always hear versions of “There’s no Dem on my ballot; what do I do?” “I’m pulling R to vote for the lesser of two evils” Here’s the truth. If you are a Democrat, you need to pull a Dem primary ballot, whether there’s a candidate to vote for or not.

Tonight! Join us for our monthly potluck as we hear from Adam Altendorf, Organizing Director for Organize TN. Organize TN is a nonpartisan, nonprofit dedicated to election protection! If you’re interested in voter protection or learning more, we hope you’ll join us. 6 PM at the office!

A few weeks ago, candidates got together to work on finding the best way to communicate their WHY to voters. Thanks to Jessica Katz for leading such a phenomenal workshop! The candidates are incredible and we can’t wait for you to get to know them. Volunteer today! sumnerdems.org/candidate-vo...

Ohhhh. There it is. Got it.

Today is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the upcoming May 5 election! 🗳️ The May 5 election includes primaries for the following offices: county commission,  odd-numbered school board seats, county mayor, circuit court judge, DA, sheriff, and more (find a sample ballot at votesumnertn.org).

SCHLAPP: “How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” CPAC CROWD: “YEAH!” SCHLAPP: “NO! Wrong answer… let’s try it again. How many of you would like to see impeachment hearings?” CPAC CROWD: *CHEERS AGAIN* 😬 (From @atrupar.com )

Are you ready for the biggest day of mass protest that America has ever seen? Across all 50 states and dozens of countries, millions of people will gather tomorrow to reject Trump’s brutality at home and abroad. Please join us for a historic No Kings Day: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

No ICE. No war. No Kings.

TOMORROW: Be a part of history! Show the world that the majority of Americans oppose the most corrupt, inept, criminal, orange "president" in U.S. History. NO KINGS. Also: NO SERIAL LIARS/CONVICTED FELONS/ADJUDICATED RAPISTS & NO ILLEGAL WAR IN IRAN Be there. Make your voices heard! 🇺🇸 ✊ #NO_KINGS

Yesterday, the Tennessee House passed a bill to create a registry of trans Tennesseans. History shows us what happens when governments start making list of their citizens. It doesn’t end well. open.substack.com/pub/aftynbeh...

We’ve heard a lot about how protests aren’t useful without a goal, so here’s the goal of the SCDP when it comes to No Kings. In a red county, there’s a concept of Blue Dots and that we’re alone. Taking 30% of the vote is FAR from alone - but because people are afraid to speak up they FEEL alone!

A woman in Georgia has been arrested for *murder* after allegedly taking abortion pills. Here's everything you need to know—including police lies to watch out for, media missteps, and how you can help jessica.substack.com/p/what-to-kn...

Need a sign for Saturday? Join us tomorrow night for a poster party! Join us from 5:30 to 7:30 at our office in Gallatin. You bring your ideas and your creativity, we’ll provide materials and the space to create! Feel free to bring your own materials! RSVP here. 👉 www.mobilize.us/sumnercounty...

Make sure your vote counts!

On Thursday, we kicked off the election season with a historic crop of candidates and a crowd READY to get them elected! When it comes to being elected, our candidates want to BUILD bridges, LISTEN to constituents, and LEAD in a way that reflects the electorate – not their personal interest. 1/3

Folks, this is Sumner County TENNESSEE! We haven’t had this many Dem candidates in years.

Tonight, tonight! Join us at TailGate Brewery Hendersonville for our Election Season Kickoff. RSVP here. 👉 www.mobilize.us/sumnercounty...

Look no further than TN's state legislature to see that the GOP is DEFINITELY not the party of small government. They are using every tool they have to funnel our local taxes and resources to the federal government. #mandycook4tn #mandy4tn #lethercook #cookingupchange #tennessee

Are you someone who is ready to step up and help on a campaign? We’re looking for folks to fill the following volunteer roles on campaigns: - campaign manager - campaign treasurer - social media support - and more! Training and support are provided! Sign up here. sumnerdems.org/candidate-vo...
