I was born and raised in Memphis. Studied in Knoxville. And began my career in Nashville. I couldn’t be more proud to be a Tennessean. We are home to the Freedom Fighters, Dolly Parton, and the reason we have the 19th Amendment.
And this November, the people are taking back Tennessee.
Early voting is NOW through Oct 29th. Election Day is Nov 3rd.
It will be. Marsha is corrupt. Tennessee needs politicians with integrity, whether they're Republican or Democrat or Independent. Stop voting for these crooks.
“CORRUPTION AT ITS FINEST” 👀
At the debate @MarshaBlackburn chickened out of 🐔 Conservative independent candidate David Hatley owned his checkered past, then accused Marsha of “Pay to Play” politics and said the governor’s office would be “for sale” under Blackburn.
You've got something like 17 days to enter, so you need to get on this. You can enter previously published work in this comp. What about that killer micro you published in 2006 in that wildly popular ezine that went defunct? Yeah, that one. smokelong.com/the-smokelong-…
October 30th! Join us! smokelong.com/product/troubl…

GREEN: “PUBLIC💰should go to PUBLIC schools for the PUBLIC good. Marsha Blackburn & Sexton take 💵 from voucher schemers, more interested in lining their pockets than helping children & teachers.”
@Jerri_M_Green at tonight’s MTSU debate @MarshaBlackburn 🐔 hid from. #MIAMarsha

If we can afford tax breaks for the richest people in this country, don't tell me we can't afford to pay public school teachers and support staff a living wage.
Integrity, empathy, and courage. And I bet Green will hold town hall meetings.
20-day alert! That's plenty of time to get your micros in. smokelong.com/the-smokelong-…

While Marsha claims to care about women and girls, she voted to block the release of the Epstein files in September of last year.
When given the choice between standing with survivors demanding answers and shielding political allies, Marsha chose to protect powerful men. Tennessee deserves better than leadership that puts party ahead of justice for victims.
Tennessee, go vote! Send @MarshaBlackburn back to Mississippi.
On November 3rd, 36 states will elect their next governor. The outcome of these races will make a real difference in the lives of millions of people — but only if you vote.
So join me in electing @DemGovs: democraticgovernors.org
Yay!!!!
Midwest pride that my ode to the iconic Chicago nightclub, Club Excalibur, made it into Unwashed, a Milwaukee Indie Lit Zine. Also, shoutout to @SmokeLong for hatching this at MMM'26.
Last call to join Promptember! We're about halfway through, but you can still jump in. If you do, you can participate in SmokeLong Fitness in Nov/Dec for less than half price. Just add it on when you book. smokelong.com/product/prompt…

You wanna know why billionaire mega-donors are spending $200 million against me?
Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money — and I never will.
I don’t work for them. I work for you.
What a weak, shitty person. A thug.
Concerned residents packed the Utah County Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday after it unanimously approved a widely unpopular data center ordinance without allowing public comment.
Police quickly moved on concerned residents – including swarming one young woman, dragging her out of the room, and slamming her onto the ground. The woman was left with a concussion and a bruised and swollen jaw. She spent the night in the ER after being released from jail.
An emergency rally was called for Wednesday in response to the brutality. Community members are demanding the termination, arrest, and prosecution of the offending officer – identified as Phil Crawford.

WATCH - Democratic nominee for governor of Tennessee @Jerri_M_Green: “I have special interests too: my kids.”
