He came and spoke at CM Kimbrough's D1 community meeting on Monday night. These quotes are from that meeting.

And I thought I heard earlier that there's a sense that they're getting more frequent and severe. I don't think it'll be another 30 years to have another natural disaster.

Someone needs to ask NES how much they estimate it would cost to bury all the lines. You won't like the answer.

Not one person has mentioned climate change, though every single one has mentioned its effects and that there'll be more. We all know it in our bones.

Wonder what effect the DOGE hatcheting the NWS, NOAA, etc. had on the Fern forecasts. I recall 1st it was [8-12" of snow], then [6-9"] not [3/4" of freezing rain] until like 2 days before. I'm sure firing hundreds of meteorologists made our forecasting so much more efficient and accurate.

Did they replace NFL refs with NHL refs? They’re just letting em fight.

So much AI crap. I hate it.

Weird how relevant this conversation is to Nashville.

"NES Should have..." needs to become "NES will now..."

Because generational storms are only going to get more frequent.

Criticism about NES belies the fact that Nashville (and the US as a whole) has failed to address climate change.

On a fast-track to America-only.

I mean, the Trump Administration has already normalized infantile behavior on the national stage, so... on trend.

Yes, and... a clear review and a strategy to prepare for more. Storms are only going to get worse. I'm more concerned that NES/Metro/TN.gov starts taking climate change for legit serious and really commits to systemic resilience, incl. $, policy, and robust communications & coordination protocols.

Or more significantly perhaps - why are they not using multi-channel distribution across all platforms? It's 10/mo per channel on Buffer. For the cost of a night's worth of heat in the winter, they could update every Nashvillian on social media in one post @nespower Add twilio and go direct to cust

What happened to the GOP that made them so anti-American? So anti-Freedom, and so anti-democracy? So much winning for them, and so much losing for freedom.

@neilkornutick.bsky.social you might know... I couldn't find anything with the time I had to look and not rly following EB anyway (so many spoons) - light rail in the East Bank project? Seems like even a mile of lightrail would be transformative for mass transit in Nashville. Why can't we?

Congress exists. What we need are spines and moral clarity.

Even his words have gotten less strongly. Such a travesty.

I wouldn't call those very strong words, if I'm being honest.

I thought the deal to re-open the gov't was to have a vote on the ACA.

May the odds of not being struck by stray bullets be forever in your favor.

Every time, he looks like he's as surprised as we are that he's in that position.

Unless you lived in that part of the country, and then all of a sudden your vote really, really matters. A very lot. Which is a nice feeling to have, actually. Kinda rare, especially in a trifecta Republican state.

thanks for the correction. Sure.

And not even to mention the most evil and obvious cover up happening involving some of the most powerful men in the world. Seeing this timeline as "post-law" can be summed up in 6 words: Epstein Files And The Panama Papers. So much law breaking, so little enforcement, and absolutely zero justice.

Every hour of every day is another example of the' Administration doing something that we were all told growing up was wrong. Despite "losing cases," there seems to be no real consequences. Innocent people are going to jail and guilty people are being set free. And no one seems to be able to stop it

Hundreds of people are still being extradited daily without due process. We're watching frauds and drug dealers being pardoned. We're watching a US President take gold bars and crypto as gifts despite the Emoluments clause OF THE US FUCKING CONSTITUTION. Losing court cases, sure. Yet he persists.

There's definitely a lot of money being poured into the TN-7 election judging by the flood of fundraising texts I'm getting - several an hour. YEAH THAT DEFINITELY MAKES ME WANT TO GIVE (MORE) and vote for the candidate with eight phone numbers saying "hey, it's me..." But yeah, vote y'all.

Anti-corruption seems a very strong issue to get Republicans to vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social . Way more than affordability and healthcare, IMO. While it's important to get Dems out, it's also critical to erode the R vote, no?

TN-7: please vote early. Absolutely make a plan to do it.

And the free market is serving us so well recently. Such efficience.

It's hoss-style and unbecoming. I'm sorry but sometimes voices need to be raised.
