It’s 4:20 which means it’s time to post our favorite pics from Nashville’s CannaFest where our legislative office set up a table to promote our bill Pot for Potholes. Thanks for having us!

FELT— trying to create the containers to hold the organizing we’ll need the next decade 😮💨😮💨😮💨
Me too!
i’m just a girl, living through yet another tax filing deadline, knowing that some of the most profitable companies in this country paid ZERO in federal income taxes.

I got y’all!!!
Sorry, we're too busy being conservative and having a AAA Bond Rating. But hey, if you'd like to join ICE or a private prison company, I've heard they're growing.
This is such insanity.
So much winning in Tennessee
TENNESSEE: WORST PLACE FOR SMALL BUSINESSES
A new study says Tennessee has the 2nd-worst small-business failure rate in America. 30% dead in year one. We also experienced 0% job growth in 2025. But sure, let's hand Oracle and FedEx another billion!!! #EndCorporateWelfare

This session is giving Spice World meets Hunger Games. You killed the foster-kids-to-juvie provision and
the voucher and immigration bills got married!

If you’re not singing Sturgill Simpson while driving down the Bluegrass Parkway, DID YOU EVEN GO TO KENTUCKY????
America’s so great right now that gas is $4.18.
Welp, if the world is ending, I’m at least going to put the Jeep top down, blast Goo Goo Dolls and enjoy the 65 degree weather.
This is actually heartbreaking 💔
Dumb as a brick and just elected in TN07
We could have had @aftynbehn.bsky.social
WTF is wrong with you people there?
🎀 TN LEG WEEKLY RECAP 🎀
Christ has risen, but not in the Tennessee Legislature! The House passed a bill that requires state courts to cooperate with DHS 🫠

Rep @aftynbehn.bsky.social calls for public release of Oracle jobs reports after state gifted $65mm for promised jobs
Larry Ellison does not care about creating jobs in Tennessee I doubt he ever intended to. He will keep the money and our republican majority will let him.
Thank you @aftynbehn.bsky.social!
Corporations keep making and breaking promises and Tennessee workers and taxpayers are losing.
Something about me?
I’m always going to be a bulldog when it comes how Tennessee tax dollars are spent

May we all have the courage and moral clarity of these teenage Muslim-Tennesseans. They should be spending their afternoon playing outside and instead they’re at the Tennessee Legislature begging electeds to recognize their humanity. They deserve better. We have to do better.
Just think, we could’ve had @aftynbehn.bsky.social instead of just another Trump sycophant. 😢
