“Tennesseans need to remind elected officials they work for us, not the feds, because if constitutional protections don’t apply to the most vulnerable of us, then they don’t apply to any of us.”
Thank you, David. This is what I posted on FB about this: "David Dark's message to Bill Lee from those of us who care. Do not use our state troopers to carry out the federal government's bidding. You call yourself a Christian."
Thank you, Barbara! I don't want to say anything that might make him behave worse, but...I'm realizing that, if I'm silent, I'm cooperating with (and enabling) an abusive person. Time to wake up.
Thank you for writing this. Wish there was more we could do. Went to an ICE protest. Not sleeping much and when I do I dream about this. Will help deliver stuff to people that can’t leave their houses this week. But like that’s nothing. Have you watched the videos on TikTok. This entire situation is abhorrent and I just wish there was more that could be done. If you can come up anything let me know.
I’m in Nashville. Well, Nolensville now but it’s still Davidson county. But we lived over in the Harding place, Nolensville rd area for over 10 years. So they were our neighbors and went to school with my children. I was in your high school English class in the early 2000’s. Can we set up some sort of meeting where we put our heads together to come up with ideas? There are of course small ways we can help, calling local Hispanic organizations and seeing what they need help with. Right now it is mostly deliveries being that they are too scared to leave their homes. But so much more needs to be done. If we see them on the side of the road with car trouble we need to always pull over and wait until truck/car is fixed. I would just like to get into a room with like minded individuals and come up with solutions. If that’s even possible. I was hoping to see more people at the protest. Was shocked there weren’t more people. But was so grateful for the people that came. Like even if we ran for office for something, would that even help? I will do literally anything to make a difference in this.
I believe I know exactly which Sarah you are. I was at Saturday's protest and I'm sorry I didn't see and speak to you. I defer to Music City Migra Watch on all of the above. Second Pres across from Lipscomb and Downtown Pres. are also pretty great spaces for plotting good things. Please feel free to e-mail me as time permits. I'm in the Belmont 12 South area most days.

I've watched a number of videos. Where are you broadcasting from, Sarah?
