Mayor O’Connell stamps it. ✅
Edge O Lake Drive has a new sidewalk. And 86 miles are still to come with Choose How You Move.

Pete Hegseth: Suspension lifted for crews who flew by at Kid Rock’s house The crews who flew two military helicopters by Nashville-based entertainer Kid Rock’s home in Whites Creek were suspended, but U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said in a social media post t…

“No punishment. No investigation… Carry on, patriots.”

Will be my new child-rearing mantra I guess

Wouldn’t it make more sense to fine them / prevent wealth extraction from the new development and ensure that the new development is aligned to zoning rules?

Punishing a business owner by extracting resources and time to rebuild something in its glory in the midst of a housing crisis seems…silly?

People keep saying “oh so you want OPEN BORDERS” as some kind of gotcha and like. Yeah. When I was a kid you could just drive into Canada. On accident, even. It was great, and I think we should do that instead of kidnapping children. Normalize being normal instead of being kidnapping weirdos

Causal inference is my passion.

I may say more later but part of what some of us need to understand is that the right has built an entirely distinct civic society, with its own hierarchy and (mostly networked) cultural institutions. That includes celebrity.

Just want to say, I see all the comments saying it’s a sign of his senility or mental decline. You could be right but I have a thing about linking racism to mental acuity. Not sure it needs to be, most of the time, and I don’t like the idea of racism as deviant, for a lot of reasons.

Hey people who aren’t in Nashville: The power is still out for a lot of people. (Day 8, give it up for day 8!) The temps are still below freezing. The alleged president still hasn’t approved our disaster declaration so we can’t get any help from whatever is left of FEMA. Send money.

Hey #Nashville folks, anyone know if the concept of a digital data locker for identification for unhoused / vulnerable pops has any traction right now? Hearing lots of reports lately of stolen IDs and ensuing evictions and job losses as a result.

ICE appears to have murdered a person today

As immigration raids step up, US citizens predicted at risk for detainment WASHINGTON — Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh argued in a major case earlier this month that U.S. citizens face few problems in having their immigration status verified if federal agents apprehen...

I took a look at Justice Kavanaugh's opinion on racial profiling that ICE officers can quickly check citizenship status. It's more complicated than that, and is already resulting in U.S. citizens, particularly Latinos, caught up in immigration sweeps.

This is an agent of the US federal government, armed for live-fire combat against a modern army, slamming a passive and nonviolent female candidate for the US Congress into asphalt.

Then walking away without checking if she has injuries, with his identity concealed behind a black facemask.

Black Voices Are Vital to Democracy. The Media Must Stop Firing Them. The Washington Post’s Karen Attiah is the latest prominent Black journalist to lose her job. The trend is a sign of retrenchment in both fighting racism and saving democracy.

"The political right is trying to basically outlaw any discussion of racial inequality—and news organizations are trying to appease the political right." @perrybaconjr.bsky.social newrepublic.com/article/2004...

Washington Post fires its last remaining Black columnist in deference to the cynical Trumpian bid to leverage Kirk’s assassination into silencing critical voices. Shame on Bezos.

🧵One of the most powerful and moving things I have seen in a long time.

They are the words of a Southern man, and words that need to be heard.

His video was too long for BS, so I broke it up into 3 parts.

We need more of these men speaking out.

Bravo to this one who did.

Under the guise of logistics and admin support, the horrific spikes of this autocracy turn.

May we all fight anticipatory obedience with all our might.

Hmm, I wonder why Donald Trump just happened to list those specific cities, all of which actually do have declining crime.

I'm old enough to remember when the prevailing argument against affirmative action was that it failed to consider the "real" form of unfairness, which was income disparity

US DOT Secretary Duffy has appointed 12 members to the USDOT Advisory Board, which will provide the secretary "with strategic recommendations and high-level guidance."

All of the 12 members are white men.

Masked Terror At this point, we have all seen the videos.

The Ku Klux Klan Acts (passed in 1870 & 1871 to protect 14th amend rights) were a response to masked violent men who terrorized Black communities, violating their civil rights.The deployment of violent masked ICE ofcrs are tapping into this unique form of terror.

On the folly of relying too heavily (and overly narrowly) on OHIE — well-tread ground if you were on health policy Twitter in 2013

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

US Senate is voting on GOP reconciliation bill.

Bill makes opportunity zones—OZ—permanent. Admin claims OZs add housing, especially in poor areas.

But @furmancenter.bsky.social research finds NYC OZs:
—Mostly benefit non-low-income areas
—Don't add affordability
—Don't do much more than upzoning

How about we have party leaders focus on the words of a United States congressman - Sen. Tommy Tuberville of Alabama - who’s calling Black people “inner city rats” who leach off of America’s taxpayers.
Stop the focus on municipal elections and get to this.
Where is the censure and condemnation?

So am I reading this court decision correctly? We now have 50 micronations with their own laws interpreting the U.S. Constitution wholly separate from one another? But there's one guy with private law enforcement who is immune from all punishment who can do whatever he wants in those 50 states?

ICE could deport Atlanta-based Hispanic reporter arrested Saturday Atlanta-based reporter who made his name covering immigration raids may be deported after his arrest at a weekend protest.

This is an assault in the free oress and the people’s right to know. www.ajc.com/news/2025/06...
