A local educator speaking out about the 287(g) agreement Sumner County's Sheriff signed in 2025. We have asked multiple times for follow up meetings to allow for full transparency and continue to hear nothing from the Sheriff.

Aiming to 'radicalize Main Street,' Christian nationalists set sights on tiny Jackson County, Tennessee Christian nationalists have set their sights on a remote Tennessee county, hoping to attract like-minded people from across the country as part of their efforts to “radicalize Main Street.”

This is a microcosm of America and it’s scary and too close to home.

Dorothy Roberts Lays Out a Damning Exposé of Medical Racism and “Child Welfare” Scholar Dorothy Roberts exposes effects of anti-Black mythmaking and calls for an end to the family policing system.

Roberts:
'Hope is something we have to practice...
Abolition is a horizon that we must continually struggle toward because we can’t accept the current suffering perpetrated by the carceral state ... because we are committed to hoping for a more caring and humane world.'

My three-month investigation reveals the plans of out-of-state Christian nationalists to establish roots in a tiny Middle Tennessee county, hoping to eventually expand statewide. That’s Monday on NewsChannel 5 and newschannel5.com.

Trump Says He’ll Move Thousands of Federal Workers Out of Washington. Here’s What Happened the First Time He Tried. The Bureau of Land Management’s headquarters moved from the capital to Colorado in 2020, causing an exodus of leadership. If elected, Trump plans to use the same tactic across more of the federal gove...

“They ran the career people out,” a former Bureau of Land Management employee said. “This business about politicizing the civil service, that’s a problem. It’s something that should concern all Americans.”

America needs to do the same and check private prisons while they are at it, but it’s not going to happen with the next administration who took big campaign donations from companies running them.

My Blue Bracelet Experience ##bluebraceletmovement #blacktiktok #over40 TikTok video by Blanche Deverheaux

Food for thought, for "blue bracelet" wearers.

Now seems a good time to remind folks that there have been activist and movement groups out there for a long while. We don’t need to just start new ones - get involved in the ones who have been doing the work already.
