Even my teenagers are finally getting it. My 17 yo works at a restaurant. She said they only had 3 customers all night last night. Now in fairness we are on Fall Break and everyone with means is in Florida but she’s worked there for 2.5 years and it’s never been that slow.

It’s the 8th of the month and we are already out of our Dining Out Budget. Pretty sure the restaurants are hurting everywhere

I genuinely don’t think he has any influence over Vandy. He’d have more influence at DCA which also tells me he’s likely right wing leaning too.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

My 14 yo listens to dirty rap like Glorilla and Cardi B.

17 listens to sad depressing songs from Taylor Swift. 😂

Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension got us wondering — who controls our local TV stations? Big thanks to @mattgertz.bsky.social from @mmfa.bsky.social for joining us to explain the ecosystem of massive media conglomerates, the FCC’s influence, and what the First Amendment has to say about all of it:

Who Took Jimmy Kimmel Off the Air in Nashville? - City Cast Nashville

Last month, “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” disappeared from our Nashville airwaves. Now he’s back. So, who really controls our local TV stations, and what do...

What’s weird is that most of us knew he was a conman in 2017, yet you still supported his efforts. I mean it’s better late than never usually speaking but I’m afraid when it comes to an authoritarian regime taking over the US Government, in this instance too late equates to never.

I co-wrote Trump’s first anti-terrorism plan in 2017-18. He’s not trying to stop “left-wing” terrorism. He is staging it.

His troop deployments are a false flag — meant to provoke a response in order to justify harsh crackdowns.

This is now very obvious.
