We're officially rolling!! Sharing as Scout Packs are wholly self-supporting, & being new we have a lot of needs. We are fundraising locally, though also opening up to friends here who may want to support. We appreciate anything y'all can give & 100% of donations go directly to supporting our Scouts

At Cub Scout Pack 325, we nurture young Scouts into responsible citizens. We equip them with essential life skills by engaging in hands-on activities rooted in teamwork, respect, and community service...

2 years ago I'd got my dream Dobsonian. I've loved visual astronomy as long as I can remember. Recently I've felt the urge to expand in my hobby...

I've now purchased the 1st part of an #Astrophotography rig I'm putting together. The mount of choice? An older iOptron CEM25. Updates to follow...

24 more days that hopefully see even with a stacked deck to steal seats Tennesseans finally wake up, and send a Representative to Washington who will work for them 🤞
24 DAYS UNTIL WE MAKE HISTORY.

Now is our time. Thank you to the @DNC chair, Ken Martin, for coming to Nashville, and to all of those who canvassed yesterday.

Remember, talking to voters is the only way we’re going to win— sign up today

I am personally **SHOCKED** a man who clearly has absolutely no far-right leaning tendencies (/s) would purchase one of the world's largest social platforms and alter it to push far-right points of view!!

Said no one... ever. Very good read this was.
Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

Johnson: "If they had no filibuster, they would pack the SCOTUS. You'd go from 9 to 17 or however many liberals they could pack. You would make DC & Puerto Rico into states, which would give 4 additional Democrat senators & make us a permanent minority. You'd see massive restrictions of 2A rights"

Flagging this now for my friends **NOT** in Tennessee...
This one feels VERY winnable. Bell-weather potential high for what's to come in '26. Eyes up and stay tuned.
The race is on, and it's winnable.

Recent polling shows Aftyn within single digits of Van Epps, tied among motivated voters.

Flipping TN-07 is about affordability & giving this district its voice back.

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

during commercials of @911nashville (a TV maxidrama featuring attractive people rescuing folks), consider helping our most vulnerable Nashvillians by donating food, shelter and warmth that will go directly to those in need through Open Table Nashville. Winter is coming. buff.ly/0ib7qKm?

It's not even my district, and yet here I am watching results come in while pulling for @aftynbehn.bsky.social to roll on to victory in the primary.

I'll take any solid sign that changes are coming, even if vicariously.

Whole heatedly endorse this box Justin is using. If you wanna go another route here's an easier/cheaper item:

Use this stuff all the time in my car for wiring, and it's phenomenal for home audio and cable management as well

Tennessee friends @jeffyarbro.bsky.social here with a very important 🧵

Time for all y'all to wake up and pay attention to what's going on
The Tennessee Attorney General appears to have improperly withdrawn and surreptitiously revised two recent formal opinions about constitutional limits on Tennessee National Guard deployments.

The AG now takes no position on whether the Guard is even subject to TN constitution.

Just getting back from a weekend away doing Scout training. This is one small way I'm pushing back in dark times. Dedicating more time to leading the generation to come to be better than we are. #FTO
