When POC/women are in a position with power, one thing you can be sure of is that they worked a little harder than a WM would need to in order to achieve that status. With white men, you never really know if they earned their spot, or were simply golf buddies w whoever promoted them.

The far right are all the same. Farage blamed his lateness for a meeting on too many immigrants on the motorway. This may seem fairly trivial, but it's how the Nazis demonised Jews year after year, and laid the groundwork for the Final Solution.

Let me guess… too many chicken fryers? Oh wait was it too lazy to turn off the lights? Oh oh , they don’t work so they’re using up all the ‘lectricity staying home. I’ve got nothing else.

Need to stop compromising with Republicans. Their entire goal is to upend democracy so they can have a 1 party system. We compromised on the Supreme Court, compromised not throwing Trump in jail. The second they can, knife in the back.

The hilarious thing about Nashville is that all the scumbag RW influencers all live there, enjoy the cool liberal vibes, nice culture and tolerance - then whine about it all the time for money.

Tennessee, you need to get rid of a representative like this! He makes the state look stupid when he opens his mouth! It was an epic ice storm, did he even look outside? Stop blaming DEI for government incompetence!

NES is supplied with electricity by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), a public power company that sells electricity on a nonprofit basis to 153 local power companies.” TVA IS THE ONLY U.S. POWER COMPANY OWNED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT! 😂

This was a horrific disaster to deal with. We're on Day 9 with 90% restored, and there are still nearly 5000 outages affecting 22,000 customers. The big outages have been handled; these are local and scattered. But NES is headed by a woman, which these doofuses think explains all.

PROVE IT, Representative Kustoff! Show evidence that there is a direct connection between the money and employment time spent taking DEI programs impacted the utility's performance of maintenance or response duties. I'm SICK of these unsubstantiated claims! I hope you get wiped out in the midterms!

This is my rep. I live in Memphis. His district is West Tennessee. He needs to STFU about Nashville and worry about his own constituents.

I’ve got friends and family in TN that are very liberal and politically minded. Lots of artists in Nashville, which is very blue. the state is gerrymandered so rednecks in the boonies have the most voting power. It really frustrates them, so don’t blame everyone in the whole state.

There has been an incalculable amount of bad shit done by white people for years, particularly white men, yet people like this guy shamelessly never see their own legacy and always find a way to blame everyone else. It is a weakness.

I do not normally comment on people's appearance unless they have slammed the appearance of other, but.... This person can't actually look like this, can he? Something out of whack with the camera angle?

Tennessee has been a reliably red state for 30 years. Maybe the problem is that republicans rob their constituents and blame democrats. The people that vote republican are so, so, so stupid and filled with hate. Where is FEMA?

NES declined help from union linemen because they didn’t want to pay union wages. DEI didn’t kill my fellow Nashville citizens, conservative thought did.

Reminder: Possessing white skin is not an “achievement”, buckaroo. Especially when you have no other accomplishments to speak of.

Racial and political cleansing is taking place across our nation, thanks to this administration. They want Fed election control??? Stick a fork in our Constitution, it's done.

Wow, who knew DEI had the power to knock out the power grid, but global warming hardly makes a dent. This is what living in an alternate reality looks like. 😡

Inbred racism is like inbred humans, unnatural & "damaged". Of course he would blame Black people instead of incompetent, unqualified white people. It's inherent, embedded & stupid af. These odd body, slam faced mutant MFs are ate up with dumbness & irrational hatred. Message from Black people:
