MALETA (Multi-Agency Law Enforcement Training Academy) will include a shooting range, dorms, a mock city for training, and the grounds will host a variety of administrative buildings. Basically every LEO department in the state - from state police, DOC, highway patrol, and the Tennessee branch of Department of Homeland Security will use this site.

Five former Memphis, Tenn., police officers were charged Tuesday with federal civil rights violations in the beating death of Tyre Nichols as they continue to fight second-degree murder charges in state courts arising from the killing.

CBS News reports: https://flip.it/3UdspG

"The Center for #ReproductiveRights on Tuesday filed legal actions in #Tennessee, #Idaho and #Oklahoma on behalf of #women who say they were denied #abortion care in medical emergencies...

The goal, Hearron said, is twofold — to demonstrate that pregnant people are being denied timely medical care wherever abortion is banned, and to give clarity to doctors who he described as “terrified” of providing the procedure."

"in red states like #Texas, #Oklahoma and #Tennessee, obstetricians — including highly skilled #doctors who specialize in handling complex and risky pregnancies — are leaving their practices...

The departures may result in new maternity care deserts...

The effects are particularly pronounced in rural areas...

Justin Jones on fire:

"Hundreds of state troopers have been deployed to the state Capitol, not to protect us from the Proud Boys, not to protect us from these fringe gun extremists outside the Capitol with AR-15s, but to stop nonviolent, peaceful protesters saying, 'We want our children to be safe in school'"

"These were mothers dragged out of the committee... because the speaker is so fragile & so afraid of the First Amendment"

https://www.democracynow.org/2023/8/25/tennessee_special_session_gun_violence

#USPol #Fascism #GunControl #Tennessee

Also: [Republican] House speaker Cameron Sexton silenced young Black Democratic representative Justin Jones for a day and today suggested the Republicans might make the rule silencing minority members permanent."

There's a pattern here, and it's not hard to see. Republicans want to shut up Black people and those who stand with them as they address issues of discrimination or — Florida — expect our schools to teach the truth about the past.

#Tennessee #Republicans #racism #democracy

And as Heather Cox Richardson writes, in North Carolina's daughter state of Tennessee, at a special legislative session, Republicans blocked the public from holding signs and kicked the public out of a hearing. They also passed rules that can prohibit Democrats from speaking.

As Nina Burleigh reports, gun-crazed Tennessee Republicans (they're also pro-life to a man and woman, by the way) now want to redefine what the state calls a mass shooting. The number of people you have to shoot to have done a mass shooting has been increased to four. And domestic violence mass shootings can't be called that. You can shoot ten members of a family and that won't be a mass shooting.

@chrisgeidner Hi Chris, Earlier I read your message through the newsletter I receive from you.

Watch this incisive speech by Justin Jones:

https://yewtu.be/watch?v=AirflOtA-rc

Now guess what the people in the room did after hearing it…

Did you guess they voted to silence him?

You’d be right.

https://www.rawstory.com/justin-jones-white-supremacy/

Because the people in that room are the very white supremacists he was talking about.

#JustinJones #nashville #tennessee #us #usa #unitedStates #whiteSupremacy #racism #bigotry #facism

The gall of these #Tennessee #Republican state legislators. Read what #JustinJones said. He was certainly not off topic. Of course the entire point of the new rules is to find ways to trip up any colleague the Republican legislators don’t like, not to ensure relevance of comment. https://apnews.com/article/tennessee-special-session-gun-control-f0af470eb6f377633735c5a1dcefa66f

🤦🏻‍♀️”GOP lawmakers voted to silence a Dem member of so-called #Tennessee 3 during tense House floor session after determining he violated newly enacted rules designed to punish disruptive members.

…directed at Rep. Justin Jones, which prohibited him from speaking & debating on bills for remainder of floor session…prompted loud cries & chants that drowned out proceedings even after House speaker ordered the gallery to be cleared out”

The #SequatchieRiver is a 120 mi river that starts on the #CumberlandPlateau at this #cave and flows all the way to my house! This river is responsible for the waterways of #Tennessee s #rainforest and serve the people, plants, and animals that make up our great #biodiversity.

Dye traces have shown that this cave system is fed by North America's largest #sinkhole. Walled on every side, #GrassyCove has valley walls 3k feet high all draining through the #MillCave on #BradyMountain 4/n

Awesome day exploring the #plateau next to #Tennessee s #rainforest

Started off by visiting Cumberland Mountain State Park site of the seven arches bridge and the Cumberland Homesteads Projects of the New Deal era.

This bridge was constructed by men of the Civilian Conservation Corps circa 1935.

This and other projects would see 250 families settled onto the Cumberland Plateau during the height of the Great Depression 1/n
