WATCH: “You are seen. You are valued. You belong.” 🏳️‍🌈 NASHVILLE Councilman Russ Bradford with a message of love and inclusivity — after one of the Republicans *representing* the gerrymandered city in Congress Rep Ogles made national news for being a hateful bigot. (again)

Fifteen minutes before the President announced he was pausing strikes on Iran, somebody moved $500 million in oil futures. Somebody knew. Somebody told them. Or somebody is them. New piece ↓ open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

This Isn't Trading. It's Theft from Your Retirement.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

Grateful to volunteer this holiday season with the MNPd Christmas Basket Program alongside my colleague @erinfor12.bsky.social. A great reminder of the power of service and community during the holidays.

As we gather in gratitude today, let’s also remember those who may be facing challenges this season. May we continue to look out for one another and build a community where everyone feels supported. Happy Thanksgiving to you and your families.

Just wondering if @freddieoconnell.bsky.social will do a concert with David Guetta?

Davidson County District Attorney Glenn Funk said the immigration crackdowns ultimately “make Nashville a more dangerous place to live.” Victims afraid to report crimes or prosecute criminals means offenders, including violent ones-continue to perpetrate crime.

Shout out to @seamasbelfast.bsky.social for the concept! Just an example of how our Sister Cities ties facilitate new ideas! #SisterCities #Nashville #Belfast www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

I sat down with @citycastnash.bsky.social to discuss the history of Metro's Seal & Flag, and how we might reimagine them to reflect who we are today. The episode airs on 10/8. Tune in and share your thoughts. #Nashville #CityCastNashville #MetroSeal #NashvilleFlag #MetroCouncil

I'm looking for people to meet, events to attend and stories to tell in the 37217 ZIP code (Percy Priest, Smith Springs, Nashboro Village, part of Murfreesboro Pike and south side of the airport). If you know of anything I should check out in the area, please let me know.

🌳 Excited to see nearly 500 new trees coming to Murfreesboro Pike! This effort will grow our tree canopy, improve the environment & make the area more inviting for all. 🌱 #Nashville #UrbanForestry #Sustainability www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

Nashville is losing a hardworking champion for our city.
