What are you most worried about right now?

WATCH: “There seems to be a conflict”

@tnrepparkinson.bsky.social points out the obvious hypocrisy of @GinoBulso and Tennessee Republicans passing a “Charlie Kirk Act” claiming to be about free speech at TN colleges after cracking down on “divisive” speech they disagree with🤔

“Children and parents detained at Dilley have found live worms, bugs, and mold in their meals. The lights are on all night, making it difficult to sleep. … Children and families should be immediately released.” 4/

Horrific. Every person behind it must be prosecuted and jailed

“Kenek has severe autism. He could not understand why he was detained at Dilley for weeks on end. While he was at Dilley, he grew increasingly distressed, increasingly disoriented. He began hitting himself, crying through the night, and begging to return to his home and his school in Louisiana.” 2/

“Dilley is a hellhole. It’s a prison for babies, toddlers and children.”

Elora Mukherjee of Columbia Law School shares the stories of several families detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas — including several featured in our reporting for @nbcnews. 1/

REP. HICKS (R): “Most of it went to folks ALREADY ATTENDING PRIVATE SCHOOLS. That’s the only way it can ever work.”🤔

Hicks supported Lamberth’s $300,000,000 voucher bill, but Lamberth probably wished he stayed quiet😬

Trump/GOP’s years in office will be remembered as some of the most violent, corrupt, incompetent, & EXPENSIVE for Americans in history! Trump/GOP’s disastrous, ill planned war in the Middle East & tariffs are escalating the American affordability crisis with trade cut off, shortages, & high prices!

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras.

They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.

“Angela Lipps was babysitting 4 kids at her Tennessee home when U.S. Marshals showed up guns drawn… Fargo police ID’ed her as a bank fraud suspect using AI facial recognition — it was wrong… Lipps spent 4 months in a TN jail with no bail/hearing...” 🤔 boingboing.net/2026/03/12/g...

Hillary Clinton’s fire and fury opening statement to the House Oversight Committee.

Screenshot of a Twitter/X post from verified account 'unusual_whales' stating 'BREAKING: Hegseth gives Anthropic until Friday to back down on AI safeguards, per Axios.' Posted on February 24, 2026 at 2:04 PM with 625K views. A reply from verified user 'LmCrypto' reads 'Giving an AI company a deadline to drop safeguards is a wild signal about where priorities are.'

Screenshot of a news article titled 'AIs can't stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations' with a photo of a nuclear explosion mushroom cloud rising from an atoll. The article reports that leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95 percent of cases.

let's not

Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) holds a handwritten sign reading "BLACK PEOPLE AREN'T APES!" during President Trump's State of the Union address on February 24, 2026, in the House chamber. Green was protesting a racist video Trump had posted earlier in the month depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes. Green was subsequently escorted out of the chamber by the Sergeant at Arms

White fragility demands that Rep. Green and his sign are removed, so that the feelings of racist white people can be protected

Kidnappings and killings of Black and brown people bring no such demands from this same crowd

The only winning move is not to play

There’s no defending the TNGOP

Horrific to watch another police execution in America. Violent and bloodthirsty men should not be given badge and gun

America has a sickness

RIP Da’Quain Johnson

In (very red 👀) East TN folks showed up 💪🏽 to oppose 2 resolutions re: taking ICE money for immigration enforcement. They passed.

Screenshot of a Facebook post by Sen. Marsha Blackburn from February 18 at 8:47 PM. The post reads: 'A special education teacher in Georgia was reportedly killed on her way to work by an illegal alien who was fleeing ICE. This should have never happened because he never should have been here.' Below the text is a photo showing a crash scene with multiple police vehicles and a severely damaged black sedan. At the bottom is a link to an NBC News article titled 'Driver fleeing ICE officers crashes, killing a Georgia teacher, authorities say.

The blame lies fully with ICE and their reckless disregard for the law—including this county's prohibition on police chases exactly to prohibit this deadly outcome

The fascists will continue to ramp up violence all while blaming their scapegoats. Reject their racist rhetoric!!

Fuck the TNGOP for their gerrymandered supermajority hate crimes against this state

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

New bill could impose 'exorbitant' fees to view public records A bill cosponsored by a Johnson City state representative would eliminate the public's right to free inspection of public records.

“A bill cosponsored by a Johnson City, TN state rep would eliminate the public’s right to free inspection of public records.

These records can include detailed spending records; police bodycam footage; or internal communications between gov employees.”
