Today we gathered to remember our brothers and sisters. We spoke their names. They are not forgotten. May their memory be a blessing. 💔

For 20 minutes, Americans watched Donald Trump address the nation, “drenched in pure panic as he tried to bully an entire nation into admitting he’s doing a great job,” @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues:

The eye-opening thing for me is that Davidson County only accounted for 24% of the votes cast. So you could absolutely crush it in Nashville, which Aftyn did, and still lose pretty handily. Seems like it will take a Dem who can win Nashville AND Clarksville.

At 4:00 pm yesterday, airport traffic was backed up to Briley (and a truck vs bridge accident on 40W at Briley had that blocked). By 5:00, when I was driving back thru, 40E was backed up to 24, Briley S to 40E was to Elm Hill, and 40W to Donelson was on the (new) ramp. (1/2)
I didn’t see the wreck, but I guessed it was terrible. I’ve never seen anything like what was happening at the airport. Like, one tunnel is not going to touch that problem.
