This tunnel locks us into low-capacity, inequitable infrastructure, drains momentum from real transit, and risks public resources for billionaire PR. My money is on WeGo and or light rail but state leadership doesnβt want to invest in public infrastructure

Hey Blue Sky! Want to flip Congress?
You donβt have to wait until 2026! Tennessee has a special election on Dec. 2, 2025!
@aftynbehn.bsky.social is a state representative running in TN7 for Greenβs vacated seat.
You donβt have to live in TN to share this or send her a few $$ if you are able.

Rumors swirled here in TN that Green didn't think he could hold the gerrymandered 7th.
Let's get 'em!! Dem candidates below, alpha order. We don't endorse in primaries but they're all good people who'd be a vast improvement over Green.

In π―% agreement with the good @aftynbehn.bsky.social here. The devil is in (and, y'know, crafted) the details on this, and they're all fantasy: the cost is a fantasy, the timeline is a dream, the non-disuptiveness, no-environmental-statement a delusionβand all of it adds up to a nightmare for us π¦:

Musk in Music City? Not on our watch.
While we're stuck in traffic, Gov. Lee is rolling out the red carpet underground for Muskβgiving him a sweetheart deal to dig private Tesla tunnels instead of investing in real public transit.
