Hi friends! As you know, we’re in a long cold stretch of winter. It’s warmed up a tad but the low on Friday is currently 14 degrees. We go out whenever the Metro shelter is open to give rides & supplies to our neighbors. We go through a lot & could use a restock!

Genuinely interested in hearing at what point any pro-surveillance folks are changing their minds. Is it now? Have you done so already? If not, what is the line that’s too far for you?

Unfortunately for you, real life muting of me is not yet a thing

I just gave what I could, I’m so sorry for the horror your family and everyone in Palestine is experiencing, at the hands of our & the Israeli government. We are with you ❤️🇵🇸

A few months ago I tried to get ahead of the barrage of football-related tweets that fill my feed during football season so I muted the words “sports” and “football” 😂😂😂 @jspencersharpe.bsky.social pointed out that most people posting about sports use neither of those words. He was right 🤣💀 Help 😭

It’s long past time to put the NDP in timeout and take away their privileges. How else will they learn there are consequences to destroying our public goods? My toddler nieces understand this concept, would be nice if our electeds did as well. Maybe a Sesame Street episode would help!

Where do I get my “in this house” yard sign???

Kelly in this house, running a billion-dollar entertainment district is a privilege, not a right. and it WILL be taken away when you blow up the library

no new toys for blowing up library!!!

mommy bloggers have this one right

Don’t we have a Downtown library that needed renovations??? Seems a good use of this funding that was already approved in the DMC’s grant contract would be to… renovate the library the NDP’s subcontractors blew up. Ah but wait, the mayors office is choosing to limit this use out with the MOU.

He didn’t say they had to apply with a BID, he said Metro couldn’t get it done in time but NDP could (although now we know it’s DMC on app). He did talk about collaboration in response to one of Sean’s questions but reason given for metro not applying was they couldn’t get it done on the timeline.

I cannot stop looking at this

Wow very impressive signs

Their council watch initiative is much-needed!

Yep…I hope this shuts down the talking point I still see from some advocates about traffic cameras to protect cyclists & pedestrians. It’s not an effective option because safety for cyclists & peds is simply not a concern for anyone who pushes surveillance. And of course we can’t “punish” drivers.

I would expect anyone who advocates for cameras to protect cyclists and pedestrians to immediately reverse course upon seeing this. We’ve been saying for years surveillance doesn’t make us safer and…. here you go.

Violent crime … is DOWN, you say? Interesting thing to bring up at this moment in time

So why do we need surveillance in downtown with no oversight 👀

Dave Rosenberg is not having a good day 💀💀💀

The fact that this keeps coming back especially after so many who put in so much sweat equity in the first campaign have spoken against it with receipts is so telling.

It says "We no longer need you. But that sweet, sweet downtown money... yeah, we'll take that."

“NDOT says”

I have one question for council members. What exactly is this MOU limiting the NDP from acquiring - nuclear weapons? Because from where I’m sitting I can’t think of much worse than AI-driven open source intelligence software that was developed for special forces operations, but that’s just me!

A Nashville Proposal Could Outsource Surveillance and Policing to a Nonprofit Nashville may be the latest city to leverage a local nonprofit to build a public-private panopticon.

our fight has gone national!
major shoutout to Mike, Ed and @truthout.org for amplifying our years-long fight to keep our neighbors safe ❤️

Crying 😭🥰😍

Retirement looks good on you. One day I’m joining you!!!

DO IT!!!

We are in the midst of a brutal cold stretch. We are going out every single night checking on our neighbors, handing out supplies and giving them rides to the shelter. We can’t do it without you! ❤️

"The mayor’s office said in a statement to the Banner that the NDP has already been awarded the grant and expects to receive the money by the end of December."

we need to shut down NDP and return what useful work it does manage into the auspices of accountable & responsible metro workers
