On Wednesday, Aug. 5, City Council will consider a "term sheet" for the Moda Center negotiations. This is an opportunity for you to testify to the City Council about how you feel about the Moda Center issue and what the City should demand in exchange for public money.

Jealous of the people who leave at 9pm every meeting

If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"

ATTENTION TO ALL DEM TAX CUT SLOPULISTS

Congratulations to Rashida Tlaib on winning her congressional primary! As the first Palestinian-American woman elected to congress, Rashida continues to fight for Detroit and international solidarity. @detroitdsa.bsky.social

if nothing else another big night for the "polling in the no-one-picks-up-their-phone-anymore Era is cooked" take

Looks like a 10-15 point polling miss in Michigan regardless of who wins. And people have been writing a lot of electability takes using this data. It’s dangerous out there folks be safe

New York City’s business elites are long accustomed to direct access to City Hall, where even Democratic mayors felt the need to court the city’s wealthiest and most influential corporate leaders. That access is getting shredded by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

Adley’s a real one and will be missed

DSA’s largest chapter in the Southeast says: RUN, AOC, RUN! 🏃‍♀️ On Saturday, July 25th, a supermajority of members at our July General Meeting voted to urge Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to run for President of the United States in 2028.

CM Welsch reports that the condemnation process has begun for residents of D16. Their homes are being taken to widen the interstate by adding toll lanes.

Again, amazing how quickly the public caught up with the left on this issue. 4 million people watch Oliver

[as dead behind the eyes as I could be] I'm ok with the Adley Rutschman trade because the most important thing in baseball is that Aaron Judge never wins a World Series

One of my favorite things recently is James Carville FaceTiming into centrist festivals from his death bed with no recline to complain about any Democrat under the age of 60. Invariably his corpse winds up on Fox News. Master of communications right here.

Caring so much about women’s sports that you make it an exhausting culture war spectacle

Jesus Christ. Sophie Cunningham fully embracing the right wing grift.

They were being sarcastic. Nobody thought you were cooking.

Broadway bar owners got so mad about alcohol delivery hour restrictions that they went to the state to create a whole new multi-agency bureaucracy to prevent Nashville from keeping people safe and keeping traffic moving. Not sure what that means for this convo but it’s a fresh complication.

Pete@pete-nash.bsky.social · 4d ago

Not just because of this, but for every day, Broadway should be closed to vehicle traffic from 5th Ave to 1st, with AM delivery hours. It is absurd to pretend that this is a functioning state highway. www.wkrn.com/news/local-n...

A good commissioner steps in now before every WNBA game becomes a rightwing performance space, like school board meetings were during peak CRT. You just have to throw the hammer down on this. Do not give them an inch.

The consolidation of the media is bad in its own right. But Dems going along with it for companies who are avowedly opposed to your interests is political malpractice. This is where the idea of power-shifting comes in handy. Stop empowering your adversaries. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/rebuilding...

Rebuilding Democracy Requires Rebalancing Power

You're not going to believe this but Gavin Newsom is taking the side of capital over workers. In this case it's tricky because he's backing the very MAGA allies his cosplaying X account claims he's fighting. www.wsj.com/business/med...

We all pay into the CBID when we spend money downtown and it’s being used to block life-saving safety improvements

Quin Evans Segall@quinevanssegall.bsky.social · 3d ago

I will continue to be a broken record that says “a clean and safe downtown means pedestrians don’t die when visiting.”

If this were an ebike, they'd be banned by cities across the country immediately. Instead, it's just another deadly day in vehicular violence and it will be forgotten about by the next 24 hour news cycle.

The War on Cars@thewaroncars.bsky.social · 4d ago

"MNPD said an 87-year-old Kentucky man who was driving a Ford Fusion ran the red light at the 4th and Broadway intersection in downtown Nashville and hit four people."

TIL that a Charlottesville organizer visited Nashville for a bachelorette party during Tomato Arts Fest and subsequently started Tomato Tomato Fest. See y’all next weekend in East Nashville!
