"I love the library. I love that it saves people’s lives. ... I just think the library is the focal center of the community." #NationalLibraryWeek honorary chair @mychal3ts.bsky.social talked with @wbur.org 'Here & Now' host @davidfolkenflik.bsky.social on today's episode! https://wbur.fm/4mFtySs

If Mamdani and Obama singing The Wheels On The Bus with a group of tiny kids doesn't spark some sort of joy in you, I've got nothing for you.

My personal response was to sign up as a Nashville Pride Parade and Festival volunteer. Come on out June 27! #suckitlee www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Confession: I’ve entered multiple races just for the shirt and/or medal. Today‘s medal just had to be a part of my collection! #running

I have a feeling this guy and I would still find plenty to disagree on, but at least it would be a respectful disagreement. I could live next door to this guy. www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8bwfFTn/

Luanne James was fired 😔 www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

This brave director has been through so much already. Someone who knows her, please pass along a hug from me! www.newschannel5.com/news/state/t...

The Right to Read Act will strengthen literacy by ensuring students have access to books and professional librarians. The Fight Book Bans Act would protect students’ ability to explore diverse ideas and prevent politically motivated efforts to ban books. action.everylibrary.org/congressftr

This hurts middle TN in general as many boards look to Rutherford’s intense debate these past few years. www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

👏👏👏👏

Is anyone shocked that Ogles is supported by Nazis?

Admitting publicly that you only want this bill that is designed to disenfranchise voters is necessary to make sure your party wins is quite a choice. The GOP has done away with subtlety and euphemisms and is now all "we need to cheat because the polls say people don't like us."

On Wednesday the House State & Local Government Committee takes up the misgendering/honorifics bill YET AGAIN and the bill imposing a statewide library materials reconsideration policy. Take action at the link: ujoin.co/campaigns/42...

The racist dickhead is becoming less and less afraid of showing it.

Rep. Andy Ogles' social media post is the latest in a series of Islamophobic statements from House Republicans. n.pr/46P9gPM

Part of Trump’s mass appeal (and of why he’s so dangerous) is that he really seems to share Joe Barstool’s worldview that there are no complex problems: Everything has a simple brute solution, which previous leaders were somehow too stupid or weak to deploy.

Via the @nashvillebanner.bsky.social: Nashville Noticias staffer Estefany Rodríguez — who faced death threats in Colombia, came to the U.S. legally and has applied for asylum — was detained by ICE on Wednesday morning.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’” GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

It’s strange to live in a world where millions believe scientists, researchers, and doctors are all lying, but a fraud-convicted reality TV host is telling the truth.

This investigation was a collaboration with @motherjones.com, @nashvillebanner.bsky.social, News Channel 5, Nashville Noticias, and the Institute for Public Service Reporting - Memphis You can find links to stories here + our methodology write-up: www.lighthousereports.com/methodology/...

I’d rather shove a hot poker in my eye than watch Trump’s State of the Union address tonight. How about you? #SOTU

WATCH: “TN Republicans have a bill for women to face the death penalty for having abortions… You write about you and your wife losing a child- how would that experience have ended differently if you lived in Tennessee?” Full @gavinnewsom.bsky.social answer: www.instagram.com/reel/DVETYOQ...

JD Vance personally invited Pope Leo to the U.S. 250th celebration on the 4th of July. Today the Vatican announced Leo will be spending the day with migrants instead.

1 step forward 2 steps back truly does apply to TN far too often. Just imagine if none of us ever fought for that one step forward. I’m surrounded by assholes, but I’m not moving. I’m fighting. Positive changes do happen, even if it’s way too slow.

The move is another Trump administration effort to limit legal pathways to migration or resettlement, after already curbing the number of admitted refugees and re-reviewing those admitted under the Biden administration. n.pr/3OwA9Sb

So proud of our neighbors in Wilson County for standing up to say ABSOLUTELY NOT to a potential ICE detention center in their community. #iceout #absolishice #287g #tennesse #detentioncenter #DHS #wilsoncounty www.youtube.com/live/AdqjIs1...

Judges decry treatment of nursing and pregnant detainees in ICE custody The agency has declined to say whether a Biden-era policy largely barring detention for pregnant and nursing mothers remains in force.

My monthly race was V-Day themed, of course. So, I wore my “free hugs” pride heart shirt because Love. #runchat

No. Fuck off, ICE.

My county had a surprisingly productive library board meeting this month! The board actually listened to the librarians input! Gasp! 😮 Commissioners won’t be happy, but screw their self-serving, personal-agenda-pushing asses.

This is my TN! Hell yeah, Nashville teens! www.newschannel5.com/news/state/t...

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Hey, Propaganda Barbie: We aren’t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up. Ever.

If you’re ever in or around Madison, consider giving Madtown Coffee your business. Loved seeing this when I stopped by this week!

It's not even midnight and we're already at "Deport Elmo."

Even Trump chose to watch Bad Bunny sted of Kid Rock

I don’t have a middle finger big enough for all the Republicans suddenly appalled over Trump’s racism! This is on you! You ignored it for ten years. Plus. the allegations in the files hasn’t even phased you and now I’m supposed to be impressed?

Do it! Boo them! Doing so would not be about taking away the spirit of the event so much as showing the world exactly how much they disapprove of current leadership. Now throwing tomatoes? Probably shouldn’t do that. Probably. Lets make that the diplomatic line. www.irishstar.com/news/us-news...

"We don't coparent with the government" is really "the government is the parent."
