Via the #Tennessean: Nashville mayoral candidate "Jim Gingrich suspends campaign after spending nearly $2M on race"
I guess the early voting returns were not going his way.
I feel bad for anyone who already voted for him. If only the TN legislature hadn't outlawed ranked choice or star voting so they would still have a voice in the election.
WTF am I supposed to think about, do about, the display of blatant #racism in the expulsion of the two #Tennessean representatives? I'm a 50ish progressively-minded white guy from rural #Nebraska, surrounded by those who would be almost certainly in support of that obscenity, who has no real power or influence to speak of.
I do believe society is tiliting away from this evil in the long run, but what can I do to put my seemingly insignificant thumb on the scales to tilt it faster?
Our two former governors, Bill Haslam and Phil Bredesen together in a #Tennessean op-ed on how to start combating gun violence.
Their recommendations aren't exactly the policies supported by research, but they would help, and any start is a good start when you're close to rock bottom.
Somehow as a #tennessean this doesn't surprise me. We need to do better. Also, when the hell did we get a FBI agency in #knoxville?! #voteblue #fuckmaga #jan6th

The #Tennessean reports on the DCS crisis:
"The Tennessee Department of Children's Services failed to adequately investigate dozens of reports of sexual abuse and sexual harassment allegations in its state residential facilities in 2021, according to a scathing state Comptroller report released Tuesday.
The state audit also found DCS ignored dozens of additional reports of alleged consensual sexual activity between residents[.]"
The front of the #Nashville #Tennessean is incredibly frustrating today. The op-ed by Butch Eley (deputy governor and commissioner of transportation) highlights the very real problem of traffic congestion, but speaks 100% in the language of more cars, more lanes, more road funding. He says #Tennessee needs solutions for traffic congestion, but offers none. Not one mention of #PublicTransit, active transit, transit lanes, housing density, or any of the proven tools that other states are using.
