This is heartbreaking but I pray it offers some peace and closure to her family. May she rest in peace. 🙏🏽

Boring Co refused two requests from myself and then Budget Chair Porterfield to meet with Budget and T&I committees.
Just using the words “community engagement” doesn’t mean you’re doing it.

Despite claims that community engagement is a priority for the project, residents of one South Nashville neighborhood were taken aback when they learned that The Boring Company had purchased property within a stone’s throw of their homes. “I don’t want the tunnel nowhere near us,” said one.

Let me be clear: We will not tolerate hate in any form. Racial threats, whether expressed through words or actions, are a direct attack not just on individuals, but on the values of dignity, inclusion, and respect that we hold as a city. Words are also violence—and they leave lasting scars."

9 Hospitals in TN at critical risk of closing if the BBB passes! There's still time to save our rural hospitals. Call your Senators and ask them to vote NO on the Medicaid cuts in the budget bill.

If you live in these areas or know someone who does, make sure to contact Senators Blackburn and Hagerty. We can save our hospitals if we all speak up!

The PBS funding cuts are a blow to children who need it most.
With more options than ever for kids' entertainment, producing research-backed, high-quality, non-advertising content for families—particularly those in low-resource areas—has never been more important.

Tomorrow night, the #MetroCouncilNash will vote on the annual operating budget.
Budget Chair @delishiafornash.bsky.social has a substitute budget that makes roughly $9 million in changes to the mayor's proposed budget.
Here's a breakdown of those changes.

The arrest of the SEIU CA President & protesters is a disgrace to our country — and part of a terrifying trend local electeds have also been facing.

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing.
ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him.
