Protestors inside the #Tennessee state capitol in #Nashville; Thursday, May 7th, 2026. The #Republican-supermajority legislature voted to split Memphis’s congressional seat, long held by #Democrats, among three safe Republicans districts. #Memphis, particularly #Black Memphis, lost its representation.

CW: #USPol, #TNPol
What needs to happen now in Tennessee is a relentless voter turnout campaign in Nashville and Memphis, to flip those gerrymander-cracked districts. That's the danger of having no gerrymander-packed districts. There's less safety margin remaining. If the (D) bust their asses (they won't--it'll need to be grassroots organizing, as usual), and the (R) get lazy because they think they locked up a 9-0 state, the (D) could actually pick up seats.

#Republicans, cheered on by #Trump, have rejected those claims. Instead, they have said, they are responding to the #SCOTUS ruling, which raised the bar for what constitutes a #racial #gerrymander under the #VotingRights Act of 1965.

#Republicans Unveil Map Carving Up #Tennessee’s Majority #Black #House District
The General Assembly is expected to quickly approve the map, which slices up Memphis, a majority-Black city that makes up most of the state’s lone #Democratic district.

This is what happens when people overcome the constant propaganda of "a vote for a third party is a wasted vote" and "we need to vote for the second worst option because it's better than the worst", and instead come together to vote for a candidate they actually want 🗳️
Hope other states and democracies around the world, especially those stuck in the rut of a two-party system, can learn from this 💡
(I don't know how good TVK's governance will turn out to be and how good a job they can do, but the point is that they, a new party with no prior electoral history, are being given a chance over more established rivals. This itself is, I think, a positively development for democracy)

JD Vance comes to Tennessee frequently. I don't know if everyone is aware of that. Does anyone know why he comes here so often????
I'm sure Marsha Blackburn has something to do with it.

new CEO of the favourite #bank of both the #crypto industry as well as #GeorgeSantos was just arrested for child sex stuff and maybe even child slavery (“buying or selling of children” is allegedly among his charges).
Reminder that Evolve Bank & Trust was:
- george santos & andy ogles campaigns' bank
- #FTX debit card provider
- #synapse bankruptcy disaster banking partner
- hacked by #russia
- a venezuelan money laundryand those are the confirmed offences. one assumes there are at least a few bodies that have not floated to the surface yet.

america is now a country where posting a screenshot of Donald Trump saying "we have to get over it" after the shooting of Charlie Kirk is now a crime that will get you a trip to jail with $2 million bail for "threats of mass violence".

#JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".
1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas
2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure
Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).

"La legislatura de Tennessee acaba de aprobar la ley SB6002/HB6001 que, entre otras cosas, "crea un delito grave de Clase E para: un funcionario gubernamental estatal o local que adopte o promulgue una política de santuario; o en su calidad de miembro de un órgano de gobierno de un gobierno local, vote afirmativamente para adoptar una política de santuario".
Sin embargo, no define explícitamente qué es una "política de santuario", ni tampoco las leyes a las que se refiere (hasta donde sé).
El Santuario de Elefantes de Tennessee es solo una organización benéfica que realiza un trabajo vital que marcó la casilla en su formulario 990 en 2023 de que es "una organización que normalmente recibe una parte sustancial de su apoyo de una unidad gubernamental".
Entonces... si el gobernador Bill Lee firma esto... ¿les quita fondos a ellos (y a otros santuarios)?
Las leyes mal intencionadas y mal redactadas son malas.
El gobernador Bill Lee debe vetar este proyecto de ley, probablemente no lo hará... porque odia a los elefantes. 😉 🐘

The Elephant Sanctuary In Tennessee is just one charity that does vital work that checked the box on their form 990 in 2023 that they are "an organization that normally receives a substantial part of its support from a governmental unit."
So...if Governor Bill Lee signs this... he pulls funding from them (and other sanctuaries)?
Badly intended, badly written laws are bad.
Governor Bill Lee needs to veto this bill, he probably won't... because he hates elephants. 😉 🐘

Tennessee's legislature just passed SB6002/HB6001 which among other things, "creates a Class E felony offense for: a state or local governmental official to adopt or enact a sanctuary policy; or in their capacity as a member of a governing body of a local government, vote in the affirmative to adopt a sanctuary policy."
However, it does not explicitly define what a "sanctuary policy" is, nor do the laws it refers to (as far as I can tell).

Tennessee GOP votes to keep Confederate flags in classrooms but ban pride flags https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2024/2/27/2226159/-Tennessee-GOP-votes-to-keep-Confederate-flags-in-classrooms-but-ban-pride-flags
If there’s one time the Tennessee legislature feels strongly about protecting free speech rights, it’s when those rights involve a symbol promoting racism and treason against the United States.
