Not every data center in Memphis is xAI's - 5C filed a $575M permit at the old Fred's HQ, and St. Jude runs one for cancer research. What they do, who pays, and 9 rules that would help. rachelandthecity.com/is-every-data-…

The Memphis City Council failed the people in delaying the data center moratorium vote. But we are not deterred. The fight for clean air continues. Big money has no place in politics. I’m running for Congress to level the playing field & stop toxic data centers nationwide. Votejustinj.com

Your occasional reminder that Marsha Blackburn had a campaign chairman, Kline Preston, for several years who was (and as far as we know still is) close to one of Putin's right hand men, Alex Torshin. Jordan Klepper interviewed Preston a few years ago. 🧵 www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8p2...

BTW..Has anyone called Social Security about your $90 refund? I did! (it started as a curiosity on my part) then I called.. The AI recording asked me for my SS number and then it told me that I didn't qualify..🤯 I was shocked 🤣🤣🤣 and on that recording was 100+ excuses why I might not qualify..🤣🤣🤣

So, arguably the world's least favorite President is coming to Clarksville this weekend. Hey @mctndp.bsky.social - any word on a protest? Given his unpopularity we're hoping he'll help elect @jerrigreen4tn.bsky.social and a slew of Dem Congressional candidates!! www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

We’re not so sure Republicans will pick up all their newly gerrymandered seats in TN. We’re about 40% Dem statewide and a couple of those districts had single digit margins when they drew ‘em.

A botched execution is more than a criminal justice story; it’s a public health issue. Christa Pike survived after a botched execution. Among many deeply disturbing concerns, it raises the urgent issue of medical ethics. Preventable suffering built into a system is the antithesis of public health.

Catherine Sweeney was in the witness room when Tennessee attempted to execute Christa Pike on Sept. 30. An attempted execution in May had also failed. Here's what Sweeney saw and heard.

Local residents riled up over Musk's supercomputer, which was enacted without input from residents, spewing tons of pollution into our skies and gulping down the Memphis Sand Aquifer. Violence is never the answer, but something's gonna have to give vis a vis xAI vs. Tennesseans.

Marsha's flying high while everyday Tennesseans struggle. Tennessee doesn't need another career politician who treats public service like a luxury perk. We need a governor who knows the reality too many Tennesseans face right now—because I've lived it.
