Trump just said that he and Bill Lee are determined to eliminate our representation in Congress. District 9 is the ONLY Democratic and ONLY Black-majority congressional district in Tennessee. This is a direct attack on Black political power and our community in Memphis. We’re not backing down!

Not my opponent sitting behind me at my job. How does he have time to come to the TN State House amidst the national crises we are facing? DC is in shambles. The president needs to be impeached and the 25th amendment needs to be invoked but he is here shaking hands and greeting Republicans.

Trump is an egregious threat to our country and the world. This is beyond politics—he and his followers have lost sight of the humanity and dignity in human life. It is deeply immoral and unconscionable to threaten to commit genocide. #invokethe25thamendment

Three years ago today, I stood before a TN House filled with hostile Republicans bent on disenfranchising tens of thousands of District 86 residents because I protested against their inaction and unwillingness to stop the gun violence epidemic in Tennessee.

Last night, @justinjpearson.bsky.social reminded @deanobeidallah.bsky.social that Memphis still has National Guard troops in the city, but there is still an epidemic of gun violence that could be solved by addressing poverty.

Trump doesn’t run Memphis. Ted Townsend doesn’t run memphis. xAI and Musk doesn’t run memphis. The PEOPLE are the power!  Stand with us and millions of people across the country as we say no to authoritarianism and this evil administration!

Trump is not welcome to Memphis, Mane! And he can take his unsafe task force with him when he leaves. We want poverty eradication and real investment in Memphis, not military occupation.

Trump is not welcome in Memphis. Join us in solidarity at the No Trump Rally. We will lift our voices and send a message to Trump, the state, and local leaders who were complicit in allowing the Unsafe Task Force to terrorize our communities for the past six months.

Trump—read the room. Memphis doesn’t want you in our city, mane!

Exciting News! Our race is virtually tied against the 20-year incumbent who has $1.8 million dollars from corporate PACs! With just five months to go until Election Day, we can win this! I am proud to have never accepted a penny from corporate PACs—our campaign is 100% powered by the PEOPLE.

Proof that we share the air! Take a look at how xAI’s Southaven power plant will have a damaging impact on Memphis and Shelby County.

Are you familiar with fine particulate matter PM2.5? If not, log onto our xAI Townhall to learn about how fine particulate matter from gas turbines are polluting our air and damaging our health. Happening now! us02web.zoom.us/j/8893632953...

Pete Hegseth needs to resign now. It’s a horrible irony that he and the Trump administration said they are in our city to end crime in Memphis, while they are simultaneously committing war crimes in international waters.

I can’t believe it has been a year since my middle brother, my protector, my one year and four-month older twin, passed away from this life to life eternal. I really don’t have the right words to express it.

8 Democrats in the Senate are ending Trump’s and the Republican’s shutdown. I can’t support their decision. trump partied, golfed, watched NFL football games, and vacationed at his resort in Mar a Lago while millions suffer.

We are FIRED UP!!! 🔥🔥🔥 We had an amazing volunteer turnout for our first Canvass for Congress! Thank you so much to our supporters, family, and new friends who came out with us this morning. So many of our volunteers canvassed for the first time today! My heart is so full, thank you!

I am a proud Memphian and I am proud of our City’s history. Part of our spirit is making democracy mean something which includes protecting our right to protest, especially at a time where the federal government and our state government has made efforts to infringe on our right to assembly.

The US Flag, Declaration of Independence, and Constitution don't just belong to the right, they belong to ALL OF US!

This is absurd! The court is once again on the verge of overturning precedent and rolling back our constitutional rights.

Conservative justices seem poised to weaken Voting Rights Act

Several of the court’s conservatives appeared hostile to the traditional understanding of the civil rights law.

Justin J. Pearson, Tennessee state representative & U.S. House candidate, moves WCPT's Michelle Peltier to tears: "We got to love this place because we built this place. Our ancestors built the White House & built the Capitol. We can't give up on this."

⚡️ UNCONSTITUTIONAL: Rep. Justin J. Pearson & Rep. Gabby Salinas send letter putting Gov. Bill Lee on notice that his deployment of the National Guard to Memphis violates the TN Constitution. Lawmakers ask Governor for community investments to eradicate poverty instead of military occupation.

We need to stop Al's 35 gas turbines from polluting our air AND we must stop their plans to have 45 or more gas turbines in our community! www.eenews.net/articles/as-...

As EPA mulls air permit decision, Zeldin met with xAI

XAI has been under fire from Memphis community groups over its use of 35 methane turbines without Clean Air Act permits or pollution controls to power its

eenews.net

300+ Memphians showed up to demand that the Shelby County Health Department DENY xAI’s gas turbine permit. We must protect our air from toxic chemicals and pollution!

Memphis, Elon Musk's xAI company violated the public’s trust and lied about the Colossus facility that is poisoning our air with gas turbines. xAI submitted a permit for 15 gas turbines, but have been secretly operating 35!

Thank you to everyone who has sent me a thoughtful and encouraging message! Love y’all!! ✊🏾💙
