Nashville guy interested in universal health care, family, Vandy sports, the Methodist church, travel, Labrador retrievers, and kindness. Not in any order. All of that, all the time. Set to an insufferable Rush and U2-heavy playlist.

It was a funny experience because I was often in spaces with UMC bishops, the head of UMC global ministries, the man from USAIDโ€ฆ and they were very gracious to the thirty-something doctor from a local church along for the ride!

I went in 2005 as a guest for their Board meeting, with Kent Weeks, their US legal counsel at the time (& former MNPS superintendent)โ€ฆ we went to church together (West End UMC) and I was the lay leader on global missions

Iโ€™d never heard of USAID before then. He persuasively argued USAID support was a critical form of humanitarian assistance but also smart diplomacy

The wild thing for me about this story is that I visited Africa University 20 years ago and sat at a commencement next to the head of USAID for southern Africa (1/2)

Our church has a campaign to help eliminate medical debt. A dollar is multiplied by 100! We are focused on Nashville/ Davidson County, but it will extend throughout TN if we do well. Consider giving but also read more about how this works. You can do it too! unduemedicaldebt.org/campaign/eli...

Our health care system is so broken itโ€™s insane.

Stop letting them make you believe a better one is impossible.

I had not considered this angle and wow that makes sense. Trump World canโ€™t stand being a lame duck because maybe then you consider other options.

I donโ€™t understand the point Dr. Oz is trying to make. I made no claims on my home or car insurance this year. Is that a failure of the insurance somehow? Does he understand itโ€™s no frills, catastrophic coverage vs the Cadillac govโ€™t plan he now has for life?

How many people would even recognize Evel Knievel? Will he jump the Parthenon on Saturday?

GameDay effect? There is currently a man in full Evel Knievel costume riding his motorcycle up and down West End flying American and Vandy flags on 20 ft fiberglass poles. Because of course

Seems like an example of premature incarceration and everybodyโ€™s acting like itโ€™s ok donโ€™t worry about it

I think Trump, Vance, etc, would agree with her on this, and hope people will encourage them to keep saying so out loud. Not to support them makes you/us losers.

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

I strongly recommend everyone listen to this Nobel announcement speech. He not only honors this remarkable woman, but he speaks to the defense of democracy against authoritarianism. ๐Ÿ”ฅโ˜ฎ๏ธ

Went to a MLK Day speech by Joy Reid a few years ago and she expressed a lot of gratitude, to her mentors and to her country. She did not thank JD Vance and it seems thatโ€™s got him all worked up.
