Monthly HMIS data report for y’all for my first post: In September, 3,585 people experienced homelessness in Nashville, while 131 people were housed. Over the past 12 months, 11,620 unique people experienced homelessness in Nashville.

I have apparently been in multiple peoples’ dreams lately but this appearance, by far, is my favorite.

Another mutual aid ask from me… things are bleak folks. Needing to raise $2000 to keep a single mom & her 3 kids in their housing. My various accounts have been restricted & flagged for fraud 😩 so we’re collecting the funds on the mom’s behalf on a different Venmo account: @KarenPolston

Pedestrians should make sure to look left and then right and then left again before walking on the sidewalk in case a vehicle needs that space to safely tumble to rest
A car on its side flipped onto the sidewalk in front of a duplex. You can see the car’s undercarriage. It’s surrounded by emergency personnel and a tow truck.

I know y’all are sick of hearing me say WE TOLD YOU SO, but targeting immigrants & people seeking abortions were 2 of our MAIN CONCERNS in this latest round of fighting surveillance in Nashville.

DO YALL GET IT YET??

And most importantly, will you vote like you get it when surveillance comes back?

In the latest from Flock Safety, the audit logs available for download on the company's demo transparency portal include searches for "abortion" and "immigration."

Is the company showing potential customers how to do immigration and abortion searches?

Kudos to the student representatives for speaking up against this tech that has been proven to be INCREDIBLY flawed - requiring intervention from the FTC a year ago

If only y’all had hired James Weaver to get you a crosswalk :(

Listen I’m the first to admit I’m not a cyclist but saying Percy Priest Dam is bikeable to downtown is absolutely absurd.

EXACTLY WHO I WAS THINKING OF! Literally receiving voice to text instructions from James Weaver during a crucial vote.

Again, I ask what other orders did the Fair Board Chair receive on just this text chain, or in any other communications with Bristol lobbyists? What privileged or confidential Metro information did the Fair Board Chair leak to Bristol’s lobbyists?

Wow I am stunned that a public official would take instructions directly from a special interest

No one is safe anywhere. If you somehow haven’t yet, time to wake the fuck up.

ICE raided my town today. They went to the City Administrative Building and grabbed scores of men who were there to pull permits for construction jobs. They went to the heart of the construction and renovation business in our tiny town and destroyed it and dozens of families.

Bob isn’t leaving for another job which really begs the question, what kind of fresh hell is the mayor’s office about to rain down on us?
kellykitty.bsky.social
Wow this is so shocking this never happens here

except we see it happen every single day - especially amongst downtown powers - and our public & elected officials somehow think we’re too stupid to know exactly what they’re doing. worse, some of them have convinced themselves these are their ideas.

Look, the benches are being used and no one is getting splinters! 😱

(And I didn't get any splinters while sitting on the bench. 😜)

We love to see it!!!

My first experience at a bus stop with a new bench from To Nashville With Love, and it was great! This stop has needed one for a long time, and it was really nice to be able to rest for a moment.

NEW: How does ICE actually use Palantir?

A new cache of documents obtained by @justfutureslaw.bsky.social from 2014-2022 give us a fresh look at real examples of how the agency has used the technology to perform enforcement operations www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

It’s cruel, it’s asinine, it’s a waste of money. Yet it has become policy for every city. We could have housed everyone experiencing homelessness many times over with the amount we spend on criminalizing & terrorizing them instead. Lowered quality of life for ALL of us for no reason besides cruelty.
