NASHVILLE mayor’s race runoff — Per Axios, Alice Rolli (Republican) had hired a VEGAS firm whose SVP discussed recruiting the Proud Boys to a rally. It was publicly reported on by @NevadaCurrent in 2021 (and easily Google-able). She has now severed ties.

Today’s NY Post cover 🇺🇸

BLOCKING PROGRESS: Despite every poll showing Tennesseans support gun reform, radical Republicans Senator @senjohnson & speaker @repcameronsexton "don't perceive that happening” https://www.timesfreepress.com/news/2023/jul/31/tennessee-house-speaker-senate-majority-leader/

MURFREESBORO: “A Hendersonville man charged after threatening to ‘shoot up a school’ in Murfreesboro...” https://www.newschannel5.com/news/man-arrested-in-murfreesboro-after-threatening-to-shoot-up-school

The % of lawmakers in congress over 70 has tripled in 20 years. Explains a lot. 🇺🇸 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11213581/Congress-age-senate-house.html

From @TNSenateDems: “With five months left in 2023, Tennessee has already set a new annual record for the number of people who have been killed in mass shootings: 29. Children accounted for more than a third of these homicides.” 😳

NASHVILLE: MONDAY is your chance to hear from HD-51 candidates @aftynbehn & Anthony @davisfortn — at a forum organized by the @eastnashtivists 👇🏽

🔥 🗣️ APSU history prof MINOA UFFELMAN: “I grew up in a small town. I also teach Southern history. Aldean’s song fits into a long history of white supremacy that is cloaked in the language of small-town values. It is disgusting and dangerous.”

STUDY — IT’S NOT JUST LEGACY ADMISSIONS: “Affirmative action for minority kids may be dead, but AA for rich kids is alive and well… rich kids with similar scores admitted to elites schools far more… higher earnings… creating a sort of NEO-ARISTOCRACY…”

🇺🇸 🎯🗣️ “People aren’t facing up to the horrors a 2nd Trump term would bring —- Trump, and Republicans, plan on never leaving power again…” https://newrepublic.com/article/174535/people-arent-facing-horrors-new-trump-term-bring

🎯🗣️: “Would targeting drag shows and trans kids, for example be your legislative priorities? — Only 45% of Tennesseans who could have voted did. The 55% who sat home made Tennessee the second-most conservative state.” https://app.sparkmailapp.com/web-share/8t3jb_MdQ-tazxUtYFJ1blAZLRp4sk_zBuhoI_aU

👀 Even the conservative Drudge Report is horrified by Marge’s disgraceful, indefensible actions. There is no bottom. (H/T @meidastouch.bsky.social)

Y’all. The Florida/Desantis education “standards” victim-blame Black folks over race massacres and try to make slavery sound👌🏻 “Whitewashing” doesn’t begin to describe it. (this is what @GovBillLee wants charters teaching here😳)
