📣 New State Added: I've completed pie charts breaking out total population enrollment in Medicaid, CHIP, Medicare & ACA exchange plans for every Congressional District in #TENNESSEE:

acasignups.net/cd-pie-charts/tn

ACA Signups · Congressional District Enrollment: TennesseeNOTE: THIS IS AN ONGOING PROJECT; IT WILL TAKE SEVERAL DAYS TO ADD EVERY STATE. CHECK BACK SOON. Over the past couple of months I've compiled a master spreadsheet breaking out enrollment in ACA plans (Qualified Health Plans & Basic Health Plans), Medicaid/CHIP coverage (both traditional & via ACA expansion) and Medicare (both Fee-for-Services & Advantage) at the Congressional District levels. With the pending dire threat to several of these programs (primarily Medicaid & the ACA) from the House Republican Budget Proposal which recently passed, I'm going a step further and am generating pie charts which visualize just how much of every Congressional District's total population is at risk of losing healthcare coverage. USE THE DROP-DOWN MENU ABOVE TO FIND YOUR STATE & DISTRICT. You can find the data sources & methodology explanation links here. ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​

You remember her from "Empty Nest," "The Critic," and "Biloxi Blues." These days, Park Overall is an environmental activist in her hometown in Tennessee.

We'll talk to her today as we broadcast from the foothills of the Smokies. We'll also visit the Bulls Gap Railroad Museum and remember the late comedian Archie Campbell.

"You met another, and pfft! You were gone." I've gone to Eastern Tennessee this weekend and I'm broadcasting from the foothills of the Smokies.

Join me from 12 to 3 p.m. (Eastern) Saturday (March 8) on WRCT 88.3FM and Tube City Online Radio.

Nice to see this in a Tennessee publication.

"I am not going to tell you how to vote based on my interpretation of a religious text because that is how we got here in the first place. Instead, I am going to insist that you protect the rights of transgender and non-binary people for a much simpler reason: they are Tennesseans."

There's a religious case for transgender rights, but here's a simple, human plea | Opinion We live in a time of deep polarization where many would have you believe that trans folks are the enemy, but they are not. They are your neighbors, your constituents, your people. Wesley King Guest Columnist

Atlanta Antifascists :antifa:

A Tennessee mainstream news piece went out yesterday covering Patriot Front and including detailed aerial photographs of their compound in the east of the state.

newschannel5.com/news/newschan

While we're glad that this information is reaching a wide audience, and overall Phil Williams has done fantastic work covering the far right, we'd also like to note that our group is the one that originally exposed Ian Michael Elliott in 2021 and also first discovered and published the location and ownership of the compound in 2024.

We're not mentioning our original pieces because we're in it for the credit, but because it's better for everyone when news sources cite original antifascist grassroots research. The more exposure our pieces get, the more likely it is we get tips on white supremacist activity.

🚨 Disability rights are under attack in 17 states! 🚨

There’s a lawsuit trying to get rid of Section 504, the law that protects disabled people in schools, workplaces, and public spaces. If they succeed, it means:

❌ Schools wouldn’t have to provide accommodations (no extra test time for ADHD, no wheelchair access, no diabetes care in class).
❌ Workplaces wouldn’t have to adjust for disabilities (no remote work, no flexible scheduling, no accessibility requirements).
❌ Public spaces could ignore accessibility needs (buildings, buses, and services wouldn’t have to be usable for disabled people).

📍 These 17 states are trying to gut 504 protections:
Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia.

If you live in one of these states, contact your state reps & governor! If this lawsuit succeeds, other states could follow, or it could reach the Supreme Court and hurt everyone.

More details here: dredf.org/protect-504/

The Nashville school shooter previously pulled a knife on another student. He returned to school after a two-day suspension.

“He had a whole knife in school, and he didn’t get expelled,” the victim said. “It just doesn’t sit right with me.”

How Many Students Have Been Expelled Under Tennessee’s School Threats Law? There’s No Clear Answer.
—

Tennessee gives public agencies wide latitude to refuse to release data. That made it challenging for our reporters to figure out just how many students were affected.

Today was just what I needed, went hiking in Tennessee to see if we could find some ice and were not disappointed. This was the first day since last Saturday above freezing in this area and the waterfalls we visited were spectacular. #Hiking #Tennessee

Well, guess I might as well do my #introduction post here.

I’m a #lansdcape and #wildlife #photgrapher focused primarily on the beauty and diversity of #Appalachia, and reside in #Tennessee.

I decided to migrate here to mastodon due to the recent decline in genuine interactions on other sites like Instagram/tik tok, whose algorithms have become king of pushing “template” style videos/AI content rather than photography from small up & coming artists. Excited to connect with new folks!
