1/ In June of 2020, some young folks asked me to join them in a march of solidarity w/ black people b/c we wanted to show them we cared about them and their causes. At that march, white supremacists showed up with all their flags and symbols to intimidate us.

2/ In 2020, my friend planned an event in East TN to try and join human beings together to spread love in a tumultuous time. They were railroaded by white supremacists and had to cancel the event. This year, that family left TN.

3/ This year, a basketball coach at an East TN college lost his job for supporting his players who advocated for black lives by kneeling at a game. 1/2 the team left afterwards b/c why would black players stay & play for TNans who didn’t care about their voices?

I want the @tndp to be able to easily analyze and disseminate useful information to county parties, candidates and individuals as needed. I feel we need to ramp up our data collection and resources in order to parallel other successful states such as Georgia. /2
Our financial reporting analysis can be geared toward helping us have more information when we go out in the field for voter outreach, help us with donors and also be invaluable in helping build an infrastructure for candidates going forward. /3
Where are you getting your news? This graph is a great guide. At the top of the pyramid is the most truthful and least biased reporting.
Now I know the top of this pyramid is boring & has no drama, but the truth matters. Human beings matter. /1

I hate to have to tell all y’all this, but you have not educated yourself so much about politics on Twitter, Fox, Facebook and YouTube that you know more than every news reporter in this country. /2
Please think about our future and our children’s future when you think about overthrowing our United States government. Is this what you want them to remember you for- tearing down our democracy? I can tell you from personal experience /3

On 10/23/19, Rep Chuck Fleischmann held a phone “town hall”. I had been wondering for some time why he wouldn’t hold real town halls where his constituents could talk to him directly, face-to-face. (1)

Then, it became painfully clear. He spent most of the time patting himself on the back for his work in securing grants for various interests, bashing “Democrats” while ironically calling for an end to partisan divisiveness, and parroting GOP-issued talking points dripping (2)
with disinformation. He sounded like a wannabe Matt Gaetz. There was no hint of genuine concern for the thoughts/needs of the people he had been elected to serve.
