What would my Trump-endorsed opponent, Brent Taylor, bring to TN & DC? Trump's agenda. Higher costs for working families, tax breaks for billionaires, and wars that put our troops at risk. I'm running for Congress with a courageous vision, not a complacent one. Votejustinj.com

Instead of admitting the tAsKfOrCe isn’t actually about safety, they’ll just use this as an excuse to tAsKfOrCe us harder.

New data shows double-digit increases in several crime categories in Memphis during the first three weeks of October, as the Memphis Safe Task Force marked its one-year anniversary in the city.

After the first round elections, Congressman André Janones created a WhatsApp channel titled “Lula’s Army.” It ballooned to 10 million people following his commands on how to behave online to counteract Meta’s far-right-favouring algorithms. The right knows how to use socials. We must learn, too.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Bridget’s right! I got gerrymandered into 8, so I couldn’t vote for Justin, but I’m still fully committed to this campaign because I know a leader when I see one. You don’t have to live in district to help!

Rep. Justin J. Pearson@justinjpearson.bsky.social

“Even for those folks who might not be in his district, you tell somebody who is in his district, vote for Justin Pearson.” - Bridget, TN-09 Resident That’s the spirit! Early voting ends Oct. 29th. Bring a friend with you & vote! votejustinj.com/vote

gotta say hats off to all the writers pretending to do profiles of Silicon Valley CEOs just so they can add that one same paragraph, every single time, that demonstrates they're all insane freaks who do not know or like their own kids.

That's an agent of the Diplomatic Security Service. Nope, there's no diplomatic crisis or embassy to protect, across the street from my house. Just a pretextual traffic stop and a gov't goblin who supervises Memphis police. #abolishICE #freethe901 #Vecindarios901 #impeachandremove

If you happen to see Noel parked somewhere in Memphis with his smoker, stop and get a smoked bologna sandwich. Thick cut plus slaw, just $5. Today he was set up outside the DG Market at Bellevue and McLemore.

As you go to vote, remember that our executive branch runs its own secret police force that can kidnap and disappear people in the dead of night bc the DOJ is wholly corrupt. Your vote can make it possible to prosecute these goblins. #abolishICE #freethe901 #Vecindarios901 #impeachandremove

let me get this right, Tesla wants to put a reverse Oceangate sub disaster next to a select group of the richest idiots and Elon Musk stans alive... and you're booing?

Ah, the auto influencers have explained that this carbon fiber-wrapped ball, which sits right behind the driver's head, holds about 100kg of nitrogen pressurized to about 10,000 psi. Let me just go review the tolerances people found in their Cyber Trucks

Folks are struggling to find jobs, pay for gas, & put food on the table, yet Trump-endorsed Taylor supports tariffs costing TN families $3K, the grocery tax, & a costly illegal war. In Congress, I will advance policies that benefit working families, not the billionaire few.

Controversial opinion: there is no way to fix the world right now without isolating Elon Musk from society permanently (and a life prison sentence is the humanitarian version of that) and removing his grip on capital.

We have, somehow, reached a heretofore unprecedented level of bad-faith argument from DOJ.

Chris Geidner@chrisgeidner.bsky.social

DOJ has now quoted SCOTUS's statement in a case over a court's inaction in a lawsuit challenging the Trump admin's efforts to rush-deport people under the Alien Enemies Act — when people could have been sent to CECOT without process — as a justification for its appeal here.

i really do think that a successful impeachment and removal of hegseth is a live possibility if dems win the senate. he is a genuine disaster.

Laleh Khalili@lalehkhalili.bsky.social

Man, Hegseth's Department of War is even more buffoonish than everything else. Kinda amazed how the US military didn't just have some basic war plans they could activate. Their lack of preparedness is astonishing. meidasnews.com/news/so-much...

👇🏻 Memphis! We gotta get FIRED UP and make sure every damn voter gets to the polls!

The Memphis City Council’s vote against a 12-month data center pause represents a larger issue in politics. We have strayed away from a government that works for the people and not special interests. Thread ⬇️

Here’s a piece from me out this AM for MS NOW as part of their partnership with FiftyPlusOne. Trump’s net approval rating is the worst ever for a president heading into a midterm, and the GOP has lost its advantage on handling the economy and immigration www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
