In the Year of the Barbie Movie, Nashville has elected a woman-majority Metro Council.
Setting aside the vice mayor, here’s how many women have served on the council by term:
• 1963-1966: 1 woman
• 1966-1971: 2 women*

Nashville, it’s time to make sure @freddieoconnell is elected our next mayor. Polls are open now thru 7:00 p.m.
Don’t let the future of the city get decided without you.

Imo, completely unnecessary celebration from 36-year-old Novak Djokovic after beating a 20-year-old Ben Shelton, who was playing the biggest match of his carreer in front of his home crowd and was *never* disrespectful towards him.

From @brotherjones_ on the ground in Nashville— the Tennessee legislator is planning to expel lawmakers who stood with gun control advocates today.
They have been stripped from committee assignments and their member ID’s have been shut off.
THIS IS NOT DEMOCRACY.

If you're in a mobile home, consider spending from now until 1:00 pm somewhere like a mall or other sturdy building. Mobile homes are not safe in tornadic winds, and you may not have time to get out and to safety once a warning is issued.

Dear President Biden, @POTUS
Many of us out here on Twitter would like to nominate Dolly Parton for the Medal of Freedom. Nobody is more deserving of thie great honor. @dollyslibrary

Airlines may offer you points or miles as compensation for a canceled flight. When deciding whether to accept (miles are worth about 1-2 cents), remember that my department enforces a REQUIREMENT that they offer cash refunds when you can't travel due to a cancellation.

It’s not SSRIs. Iceland: biggest user of antidepressants; low rates of gun violence.
It’s not video games. Japan: among the largest markets for video games; low rates of gun violence.
It’s not weed. Israel: biggest user of cannabis; low rates of gun violence.
It’s the guns.

Today is day 185 of the year, and the U.S. has already experienced at least 309 mass shootings so far. At least 309 in just over 26 weeks. This averages out to more than 11 a week. n.pr/3yFYfiZ

Contrast this with the police killing of Jayland Walker, 25, who was shot at 90 times by Akron, Ohio, police and hit by 60 bullets after a traffic violation last week.
BREAKING: 15 minutes ago, Robert Crimo was spotted by police. He fled from police. After a brief chase, he was stopped and arrested, police say. @cbschicago

Out today: a new PSA from @SesameWorkshop and @AdCouncil targeted for parents weighing whether to vaccinate their children against covid.
“I had a lot of questions,” says Louie, who’s Elmo’s dad on Sesame Street. “I talked to our pediatrician so I could make the right choice.”

I've seen hundreds of tweets about telling women to stop having sex if they don't want to get pregnant but I've seen zero calls for men to become celibate. It will never cease to amaze me how little men are blamed for getting someone pregnant. This is about control and patriarchy

47 of 95 Tennessee counties lack an ob-gyn. 1 in 4 pregnant women can’t get adequate prenatal care. Our state has a higher maternal death rate than 40 states.
Gonna need the politicians celebrating end of Roe to show up & start helping women choosing (or forced) to become moms.
