Trying to make Nashville a better place for everyone.
- I’m so proud of @DelishiaTN who lost a primary election less than a year ago to @brotherjones_ for making the Council motion to reappoint him to his #TN52 seat! Classy move.
- Nashville is 25% Black, 15% Latino & projected to be majority minority by 2040. With the State House expulsions today, everyone should see clearly why the State is working to undermine local city gov’t & control. You can’t separate who lives in Nashville from how they treat us.
- The Vice Mayor just confirmed that the administration's ordinance to approve a contract with the RNC to bring the GOP 2024 national convention to Nashville will be withdrawn this evening. That will end the legislation.
- Same here.I will vote to reappoint @brotherjones_ as soon as #MetroCouncil meets to consider it. This is an affront both to lives lost and the will of the voters. #TennesseeThree
- Replying to @mendesbobFor everyone watching the unfair expulsion of State Reps Jones and Pearson, you can read more about the Tennessee General Assembly’s ongoing assault on our biggest cities here -
- Trump is a racist m***** f*****
- A national media outlet just asked me whether the suicide bombing was domestic terrorism. I said yes. We don't know the details yet, but with the complexity of this bombing, there must have been an ideological agenda. 1/x
- Everyone in the Nashville business litigation community who has had a case with @ginobulso has seen this badgering before. I think @votegloriaj is doing an admirable job tolerating his nasty jabbering.
- The Metro Council just passed BL2022-1385 on third reading. That ordinance ensures that Nashville's license plate readers can't be used to enforce any laws in any state outlawing abortion or outlawing interstate travel to obtain an abortion.
- The Tennessee Star asked me this afternoon to confirm that I wrote this tweet last night & whether I had anything to add. Not sure if they’ll print my statement, so I’ll share it here.
Trump is a racist m***** f***** - If ever there was a day and time for prayers for Nashville’s first responders, it is today and now as they are dealing with whatever is going on downtown on this Christmas morning.
