Good morning from Nashville to everyone on 🦋 Thanks to all who follow me. Pls post comments! I enjoy getting to know people. I am slow to follow back right now and working on it. It took me 15 years to attract this many followers on the other site. I’m overwhelmed in a good way! 🙋‍♀️
Most Tennessee Voucher Funds Went Religious schools, with Inconsistent Testing, Curriculum and Transparency nashvillebanner.com/2025/11/10/t...
Some Tennessee EFS recipients lack accountability of others - Nashville Banner
Testing and curriculum choices in Tennessee's private schools receiving public funding through school vouchers falls far short of public school requirements.

Trump pardoned his associates who tried to help him overturn the 2020 election.

He pardoned 1500 people who tried to violently overthrow our government on January 6th.

Trump is proving that he’ll pardon anyone for any crimes they help him commit.

Complete lawlessness.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

These actions do not conform to American citizens' desires to cleannup the environment.
"Like a bunch of gangsters": 100+ nations were set to approve a historic plan to slash pollution from cargo ships. Then the US stepped in. Diplomats were stunned by “nasty” and “very personal” threats, including blacklisting, financial penalties, tariffs, sanctions, and the revocation of US visas.

This was outside Nellie’s Air Force Base. Dressed in their fatigues. With hungry kids at home. Proud American moment. Leaving our service members in November- harvest month to stand in line for free food to feed their families. Shameful. Thank MAGA voters when you see them. #pinks #veteransday #Dems

Congress is still being paid.

Private jets are still being bought.

The White House is still being renovated.

In the most prosperous country in the history of the world...

Here in Tennessee, Republicans specialize in so-called tele-town-halls: Phone calls in which calls in are screened and read by staff.

There's literally no way to reach or talk to an "elected" "representative." (If you call the office you get an intern; if you write you get form letters in return.)
Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs.

Many Republicans won’t do town halls.

They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them.

We deserve much better.

Say it isn’t so! We’re not welcome in states with the lowest ranks in education and life expectancy. And the highest ranks in maternal mortality and crime. So unfair!

Trump is looking to blame inflation on anything but his tariffs, but poll after poll shows the American people aren't buying it. The majority of Americans blame Trump tariffs for rising prices.

"NBC, fake news, I'm not taking you."

Nothing to see here, just the President of the United States refusing to answer questions from a major US network because they won't grovel before him.

BREAKING: Senator Schumer just proposed a completely fair deal to open the government. All he asked for is that the Affordable Care Act subsidies be extended for one year.

This is in Trump‘s court now. Democrats are trying to protect our healthcare. Republicans are trying to protect billionaires.
