Today, we honor all who have served our nation in uniform. 🇺🇸 I’m especially proud to remember my own family’s service: • Great-grandfather C.C. Newsome – France, WWI • Great-grandfather Jasper Fortney – Pacific, WWII Their courage reminds me that freedom is never free. #VeteransDay #Nashville

Grateful for the chance to serve as Principal for a Day at Glengarry Elementary through PENCIL! Such a rewarding experience seeing the heart and dedication that go into every school day. 💙📚 #PENCILforaday #CommunityInAction #GlengarryElementary

Today is #NationalCatDay but to Denny, every day is Cat Day!

#IndigenousPeoplesDay is a time to celebrate the first stewards of this land and to recognize their enduring contributions. #HonorIndigenousPeoples

Davidson County District Attorney Glenn Funk said the immigration crackdowns ultimately “make Nashville a more dangerous place to live.” Victims afraid to report crimes or prosecute criminals means offenders, including violent ones-continue to perpetrate crime. Story from @anitawadhwani.bsky.social.

I really enjoyed being on today’s show and discussing the Metro Seal and Flag!

Shout out to @seamasbelfast.bsky.social for the concept! Just an example of how our Sister Cities ties facilitate new ideas! #SisterCities #Nashville #Belfast www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

I sat down with @citycastnash.bsky.social to discuss the history of Metro's Seal & Flag, and how we might reimagine them to reflect who we are today. The episode airs on 10/8. Tune in and share your thoughts. #Nashville #CityCastNashville #MetroSeal #NashvilleFlag #MetroCouncil

I'm looking for people to meet, events to attend and stories to tell in the 37217 ZIP code (Percy Priest, Smith Springs, Nashboro Village, part of Murfreesboro Pike and south side of the airport). If you know of anything I should check out in the area, please let me know.

🌳 Excited to see nearly 500 new trees coming to Murfreesboro Pike! This effort will grow our tree canopy, improve the environment & make the area more inviting for all. 🌱 #Nashville #UrbanForestry #Sustainability www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

This didn’t age well

Funding cuts to Meharry Medical College in Nashville are among $783 million in NIH funding eliminated by the federal government for a broad spectrum of disease research — including cancer, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease — that had diversity, equity and inclusion components.

Spending my Saturday learning how to make our city and communities more sustainable!

Has the pleasure of meeting a local celebrity! Sgt Bo recently retired from MNPD and is up for the Hero Dog award!

Still riding the rainbow wave from marching in the #NashvillePride parade 🌈✨ The love, the energy, the community—unforgettable. Proud to stand for equality, joy, and being unapologetically ourselves. 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride2025 #LoveIsLove

I asked for one more year. After Gulliver passed, I begged you just give me one more. You gave me nearly 3. Today, I said goodbye to Nova, my first Tennessee dog. A rescue turned shadow, sun-soaker, bed-snuggler, heart-healer. Saying good morning was my favorite. Saying goodbye was the worst. 💔

Just attended Men Who Rock Nashville Award Ceremony, I’m beyond honored to be named one of the inaugural Men Who Rock. Grateful to be among such inspiring leaders working to uplift, lead, and drive positive change. Let’s keep rocking with purpose. #MenWhoRock #Leadership #Gratitude #Purpose

Today marks the anniversary of D-Day. On June 6, 1944, Allied forces launched the largest seaborne invasion in history to fight back against tyranny and fascism. We remember their courage, sacrifice, and the cost of freedom. #NeverForget #WWII #Normandy

🌈 Out at the ballpark and proud of it! Celebrating love, inclusion, and community at the Nashville Sounds Pride Night! Let’s keep cheering for equality—on and off the field. ⚾️🏳️‍🌈 #SoundsPrideNight #Pride2025 #LoveIsLove #NashvilleSounds

Senators @MarshaBlackburn & @SenatorHagerty never have time for a town hall — but they sure have time to help @JDVance cause more traffic in Nashville for a $100,000-$250,000 fundraiser at a private donor’s house! 💰

Happy #TennesseeStatehoodDay! On June 1, 1796, TN became the 16th state in the Union. From music to mountains to unmatched Volunteer pride—there’s no place like home. #VolunteerState #TNHistory #TennesseeProud

Couldn’t resist some NYC transit selfies!

Spent time yesterday at the Middle Tennessee State Veterans Cemetery. Walking among the rows of headstones is a humbling reminder of the cost of freedom. #MemorialDay #NeverForgotten

Honored and humbled to receive the Men Who Rock Community Award! I’m lucky to work alongside every day—neighbors, advocates, and leaders committed to building a stronger, more inclusive community. #MenWhoRock #CommunityLeadership #NashvilleStrong #PublicService #Gratitude

It’s #Pride night at GEODIS! Thanks to The Assembly for letting me represent them on the pitch for pre game!

Happy Mother’s Day! 🌸 Today, we celebrate the women who shape our lives with love, strength, and unwavering dedication. To all the moms in our community: you are deeply appreciated, today and always. #MothersDay #ThankYouMom #LoveAndGratitude

My entire family 😂

Commentary: U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren's pep rally in Nashville on Saturday was a missed opportunity for her to address serious concerns about the direction of the Democratic Party, writes columnist @[email protected].

Happy #MardiGras! Whether you're catching a parade, dancing in the streets, or just enjoying the festive vibes, today is all about joy, fun, and a little bit of mischief! Laissez les bons temps rouler! #MardiGras #LetTheGoodTimesRoll #FatTuesday #LaissezLesBonsTempsRouler

The same week that Elon Musk baselessly called Social Security a "Ponzi scheme," his co-president Donald Trump announced that he wants to create a national crypto reserve. This could result in taxpayer dollars being used to prop up an actual Ponzi scheme. Hello?

5 years ago, tornadoes devastated Middle Tennessee, changing lives forever. Today, we remember those lost, honor the resilience of survivors, & thank the heroes who helped rebuild. Our community's strength endures. The Spirit of Nashville endures.

SMI, of course, has spent years trying to strong arm Nashville into building a new mega speedway in the heart of Nashville’s neighborhoods (for SMI to profit from), doing so via threats and various underhanded, behind closed door maneuvers by their cynical lobbyists. #MetroCouncilNash

Glad to be able to hear the dialogue and conversation between @micky-murray.bsky.social and @freddieoconnell.bsky.social
