No matter what happens tomorrow, I’m grateful for Aftyn Behn scaring the shit out of these assholes. Every second they spend, every dollar they spend having to defend their +22 gerrymandered district should be inspiration for Democrats everywhere.

Why privatizing surveillance is the wrong move for Nashville | Opinion
If the Metro Council votes to allow a private group to get $15M for downtown surveillance, it will shut out the public and bypass transparency.

Actually incredible resource here. One click to copy all Metro Council emails? Brilliant. (They don’t check the general inbox, don’t tell anybody.)
If you don’t want to be surveilled when you go to the Ryman or Robert’s, take a sec and write them a nice email about it. 🦞
