This was the plan. Ch 10 of Project 2025 outlined an agenda that undermined food security & the vulnerable in the name of smaller government. It reshapes agriculture policy & prioritizes corporate interests over farmers, rural communities, and those who rely on food assistance. The republican way!
Trump's Iran War has spiked food prices by raising the cost of fertilizer and fuel.

His cuts to FDA and HHS have made foodborne illness outbreaks harder to contain.

And his SNAP cuts have made it even harder for millions to feed themselves.

He's making America hungry again.

Metro legal says the Nolensville Pike Advisory committee meeting this week is not subject to the open meetings law, so closed to the public. They said it is not a "governing body," as defined in statute & was assembled CHYM staff to make recommendations to staff, not Council or any other

SCOTUS' power comes from the constitution. Nowhere is it enumerated SCOTUS can simply toss the constitution, nullify Congress, the lower courts, and checks & balances, and install a king. These per incuriam actions are illegitimate. SCOTUS is not above the law. Time to impeach. #scotusiscorrupt

It has been clear for some time that we need new leadership at the Office of Homeless Services, and these numbers show why. We've wasted $50 million on ego, incompetence, and bloated bureaucracy, with no end in sight. Are you listening,
@freddieoconnell.bsky.social? This is your legacy.
Nashville saw an increase of 4%. And an increase of 14% since 2022 when the cities started investing millions more than in previous years.
Nashville's encampment closure strategy clearly is not working, no matter how the city spins it.
We should do better. Other cities have!

When asked today on WPLN's "Ask The Mayor" about the just launched MNPD drone deployment
& how it bypasses the mandates in Section 13.08.080 of the Metro Code, which require a full Council resolution & a public hearing for any technology capable of public recording, Mayor Freddie O'Connell said,

The last time anyone truly spoke truth to power, and something that should shame every so-called journalist at the farce that is the White House correspondent's dinner 2026.

War.

What is it good for?

Absolutely nothing.
53 years ago today, the last U.S. combat troops left South Vietnam, ending America’s direct role in the Vietnam War.

I remember seeing this anti-war PSA back then. Its message is sadly still very relevant today as Trump drags us into another unpopular war.

If only we would see.
Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

The Titans gave Nashville $250k to help people behind on their rent or mortgage because of the ice storm, accessed through the Metro Action Commission. 8000 more gifts and we'll have recouped the money we put out for the stadium! #housingfund #rooftopnashville #legalaidnashville

Please check on your neighbors, especially if you are without power. The warming stations in Nashville have opened. Now would be the time to get there before the roads refreeze. @whittlz.bsky.social @themanaen.bsky.social

Why does @mayor.nashville.gov continue to stand behind incompetent leadership at OHS & praise folks as our homeless numbers increase by 40%? With a weeks notice of a major storm coming we hand out flyers with the wrong address for the shelter. Indefensible. We wasted $50 million to stroke egos.

We need @aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov to start a party that will actually oppose this horror. Jeffries & Shumer are all that is wrong right now. Pelosi politics are of another century. We can't wait for deadheads to wake up. Oppose fascism or die. That's the choice. @thetnholler.bsky.social

Border Patrol has literally no jurisdiction in Minneapolis. They are limited to 100 miles from border. They are rogue, acting illegally, immorally, and unconstitutionally and it's time for democratic leadership to stand up and start taking action. Rest them, then sue them. Not the other way around.
🚨"Get the f*ck out!"-Minneapolis residents scream at SWARM of Border Patrol agents as they launch tear gas, pepper balls, and pepper spray at unarmed residents who came to the aide of...a vehicle Border Patrol rammed into.

@aoc.bsky.social @crockett.house.gov we can't wait for your leadership to grow a spine.We need action now! Arrest ICE lawbreakers, freeze Trump assets, strip corporate charters, stop waiting for courts. Do, don't sue. People's lives are on the line. Action not words. MAKE them take the gloves off.

Why can't we ID faces under masks? If we can undress people we should be able to remove masks & show the fascists for who they are. Where is that technology? We can't let these thugs walk around with impunity. They are not above the law, ever. @youranoncentral.bsky.social @youranonnews.bsky.social

Republicans quitting Congress & Massie should switch parties or become independent to switch control of the house. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain: your dignity, your country, and your place on the right side of history. We need you today. #bloodonyourhands #saveourddmocracy #nohate

Every Republican quitting Congress & Thomas Massie should switch parties to swap control of the house & stop this Trumpian nightmare now. If you care about our country, constitution & the rule of law, it's your duty. @maddow.bsky.social @meidastouch.com @muellershewrote.com @thetnholler.bsky.social

This is great news. But it is absolutely unacceptable that it took so long and the voices of so many women were deemed not enough to move on this a long time ago. Do better @mayor.nashville.gov #believewomen

So I guess we now know for sure that 'assassination' attempt was staged. With that much aspirin in his system his ear wouldn't have clotted and stopped bleeding for hours. Instead it didn't even stain his shirt! #illiterati
Trump admits to taking more aspirin than his docs recommend: “They say aspirin is good for thinning out the blood, and I don’t want thick blood pouring through my heart. I want nice, thin blood pouring through my heart. Does that make sense?”

What could possibly go wrong! (2/6)
