LOVE this! From the group who brought us Autotune the News, Mamdani.

Last night included some pretty significant non-blue state wins: Mississippi broke the GOP supermajority in their state and Georgia flipped two Public Service Commission seats. Let’s gooooo @aftynbehn.bsky.social for TN7!!

Despicable choice by @apnews.com to use the photo it did for the Jayden Daniels injury story thumbnail.

Jesus would like a word.

If @philinvestigates.com is investigating you, it’s already too late, just give up. Let Larry go.

The State of Tennessee has a $2 BILLION DOLLAR Rainy Day Fund, but apparently starving children isn’t a good enough reason to tap into it.

If the goal of this administration was just deportation, Kilmar Abrego Garcia would already be in Costa Rica, but they are focused on humiliation for daring to defy them. The cruelty is the point.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

This man will not be fired for calling for the murder of American citizens, yet multiple journalists/reporters/teachers lost their job for accurately reporting things Charlie Kirk actually said and stood for. But it’s the “violent left” that’s the problem

Since Charlie Kirk was fatally shot, people on the left have been censored, punished, and targeted with more violence for telling the truth about Kirk's legacy. The cycle continues: mainstream whitewashing of violence begets more violence and the victims are blamed. spitfirenews.com/p/the-nation...

Wait, wait, wait just a dang minute. Did the DOE seriously use a Chris Brown song to broadcast this lie?? In St. Rihanna’s day and age? 🤬

i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo

Terrible move on WeGo’s part, against one of their most supportive partners at @walkbikenashville.bsky.social.

On one hand, Republican officials call themselves "warfighters." On the other, they become whiny crybabies at the thought of setting foot in DC streets and New York City subways that literal schoolchildren navigate every day without incident. Real macho stuff.

The news is rarely good, right? The anticipated obituary keeps me going. About once a week or so, I have this moment when I step back, look at the incompetence, the cruelty, the endless lies, the rampant corruption, and I am just gobsmacked that America did this to ourselves, on purpose.

Did my level best to irritate residents at The Westview by parking in the spot that killed a bike lane for three hours yesterday evening for an event at Nashville Yards. @urbaneastnash.bsky.social

Move over Bonnaroo and Coachella — the WeGo 2025 Summer Service Changes lineup is here!

Trump is firing immigration judges. His regime is ending "temporary protected status" for thousands of people here legally. ICE is arresting asylum seekers at their hearings. The DOJ is threatening to strip immigrants of their citizenship. Trump never actually supported "legal immigration."

Is Superman woke? Or are you just realizing you’re the bad guy? 🤷‍♂️

Garbage human being getting attention once again for being a garbage human being with a garbage opinion that proves he knows nothing of Superman’s origins.

Having grown up in Brevard County, I can. This guy is the bacteria that grows on bottom feeders.

GOP lawmakers OK'd $1.5B business tax break. Gov. Bill Lee won't say how much his own company got. The state posted an unsearchable list of recipients set to disappear online @tennesseelookout.com scraped the data & made it searchable. It will live online here: tennesseelookout.com/2025/06/23/l...

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

We feed you. They hunt us.

If you read nothing else today, read this remarkable story about reaching out when you can and prioritizing your mental health at the highest levels of success.

Ukraine did something that the US and Europe failed to do for nearly half a century, it crippled Russia’s ability to launch nuclear weapons and long range strikes. At least one arm of Russia’s nuclear trident was destroyed. Ukraine did that, on its own, successfully. Have you said thank you yet?

Bring it on, jerks. I stand with @freddieoconnell.bsky.social

At this point, I’m waiting for the inevitable announcement he’s changing party affiliations. 🙄

I feel attacked and understood in equal measure.

Unions = better pay, safer jobs, and real respect. It’s that simple.

@cynthiaharless.bsky.social I live here in Nashville and I’d love to come visit. Follow back so I can message you!

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.” Do I have that just about right?

I was on Senate Floor in October 1991 when Congresswomen marched over to protest the handling of the Thomas nomination. In the next cycle, incumbents lost primaries and women Senators were elected. I encourage House Democrats to make a similar protest tomorrow. @aoc.bsky.social @raskin.house.gov

The @democrats.senate.gov need a new leader. Schumer is unable to meet this moment. He cannot be the opposition leader when he’s a spineless collaborator.

There, their and they’re? Easy. Your and you’re? Piece of cake. Affect and effect? Fail every single time. 😂

Stand with trans Americans. You don’t have to understand everything about the transgender experience to know that Trump’s acts of humiliation and dehumanization are unjust and dangerous. www.thebulwark.com/p/stand-with...

Zelenskyy stayed in Kyiv while Russia was bombing the city and sending in hit squads to kill him. J.D. Vance fled to an undisclosed location because some peaceful protesters yelled at him while he was on vacation. This is why I believe victory over these people is still possible.

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

You unfriend people bec of politics? Absolutely! I unfriended some of y’all because you were on Drake’s side during the beef.

If you voted for this, are you happy now?

The "large scale social deception" contract Musk is conspiracizing about was: * first awarded under Trump * paid to Reuters' data division, not the newsroom * for researching *defenses* against deception * not revealed by "DOGE investigations" and was a public record, visible online for many years

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

I envy people who move through academia unconcerned about how their race, gender, sexuality, class, or ability is affecting their longevity and ability to take care of their family. I'm not allowed to be the carefree academic. I'm a Black woman.

Go @benwikler.bsky.social go!!

If I'm DNC Chair, how our party spends, raises, & organizes will be values-aligned. Voluntary recognition and good-faith negotiation with staff unions. No vendors that work with union-busters. Accountability for consultants and vendors who reflect our coalition and help us win.

This is insanity. He is threatening sovereign nations and his sycophants are acting like this is a normal thing for an incoming President to do.
