TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY. 🎉🗳️👏 Pull your Democratic primary ballot when you go in, y’all, and vote blue for a Better Sumner - and don’t forget, this is the general election for our local candidates and some of these races will come down to a handful of votes.
Early voting begins today in TN! Let’s all do our part and get some reasonable people that work for you elected in TN!
It’s bizarre that us having “motivated candidates” is being used as a scare tactic about us. Anyways early voting starts tomorrow.
Last week we hosted our first training of the summer with Wyatt Basso and a crew of local candidates and volunteers. Tomorrow night we are back to it again with phone bank training. RSVP at the link below! www.mobilize.us/sumnercounty...
Just in: Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally removes Sen. Charlane Oliver from committee, strips her of per diem and ability to use state money for conferences after the Nashville Democrat stood on her desk in protest of new congressional maps carving up majority-Black Memphis.

Shout out to Aaron Parnas, who has been working to save many of the DOJ files the administration is trying to delete.

Bust up big corporations and tackle Wall Street’s greed. Get big money out of politics. Strengthen unions and boost wages. Pass Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare, and so much more... This is the agenda Democrats need to fight for. It's not enough to simply be anti-Trump.

Yesterday, a new generation of civil rights activists marched from Selma to Montgomery to fight for voting rights. As states across the country try to make it harder for citizens to be heard, we need to learn the lessons of those who came before us and refuse to take our democracy for granted.

We registered 6 voters today at the Gay Farmers Market and helped many more check their districts!
What gets me is that we're living in the most documented age in human history We can see climate collapse happening in real time We have the data, footage, testimony, warnings, receipts & still people act like the planet is a rumor That is not an information problem That is a moral failure with WiFi
Wow what a turnout! We had over 130 attendees ready to make things happen! At the Fourth Annual Blue Wave BBQ on Saturday we heard from nearly 20 candidates running from the local to federal level, all who have a vision for a better Tennessee.
Look forward to seeing all of you today! In addition to the speakers on the poster we will be hearing from candidates running for local school board & commission and state house! Tickets available -> secure.actblue.com/donate/bluew...
Pretty "sus" that the usually dysfunctional TN GOP got new maps created and rammed through in just three days. The Special Session was a hit job on democracy in TN and it has shown us what the GOP really cares about (hint: it's being able to get away with being racist!)
Republicans didn’t hold Trump accountable for January 6th, the Supreme Court gave him immunity, and now he wants to give billions in taxpayer money to the people who desecrated the Capitol in his name. We are not angry enough.
President Obama: “We pulled it off without firing a missile. We got 97% of their enriched uranium out. There’s no dispute that it worked and we didn’t have to kill a whole bunch of people or shut down the Strait of Hormuz.”

🔥👇🏽: “I’m @MarshaBlackburn — I called for a special session… Cuz we’re 51st in Ed spending? NO… Cuz we have the highest infant mortality rate? NO… Cuz we have 0 job growth and can’t afford groceries? NO… Cuz farmers are suffering? NO… to take votes from Black people!”😕
HAPPENING NOW: “WHOSE STATE? OUR STATE! @GovBillLee sold out Tennessee… this is about to be a very long week for their asses….” Protestors greet Republicans like @SenBrentTaylor here to strip representation from majority Black MEMPHIS to protect a corrupt president
WATCH — @abdulelsayed.bsky.social : “Who here believes in Medicare for All?” *CROWD ROARS* “And who believes it's time to abolish ICE?” *CROWD ROARS* #MedicareForAllNOW
Thank you @herboldmove! There’s a reason why laws are being made about women’s bodies without their consent, and why the ERA never passed: women haven’t been in the room where it happens. I’m here to take my seat at the table, and in the people’s house. #mandycook4tn #lethercook #cookingupchange
Democrats just flipped Pearland, Texas. Quentin Wiltz has defeated Republican Tony Carbone in the mayoral race — turning a red seat blue.
REP. @aftynbehn.bsky.social : “Well, that concludes our 250 year 🇺🇸 experiment, because Grandma Gone Wild @MarshaBlackburn decided to eliminate the last Democratically held seat in Tennessee, in MEMPHIS, where 65% of the constituents are Black. We need international attention on this.”
