#JamesComer's reason for thinking his opponent was laundering money via #ActBlue is because "she couldn't possibly have won in his district".

1. there are no criminal charges, just congressional subpoenas

2. that said, this is still out and out fascism that is aimed at dismantling the democratic party's financial infrastructure

Probably also a good time to remember that #BennyJohnson is one of the #TenetMedia crew who was proven to be taking millions of dollars directly from #Russia / #VladimirPutin (even if unknowingly).

James Comer and the FBI to bring CRIMINAL CHARGES against those behind ActBlue, The Largest Money Laundering Scheme in U.S. history: "We are going forward with our investigation. Their lawyers are leaving… This will be the end of the Democratic Party."

We made our way this morning to nearby Cades Cove - part of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Saw lots of deer but no black bears today as one often does.

It was good to get away from the news cycle and doom-scrolling, and breathe fresh air for a time. #Tennessee #FujifilmXT5

A bearded older gentleman wearing a beret plays a triangular stringed instrument with a bow. He's outdoors, sitting on a wooden bench by a large tree. We met Charles Closz at the halfway point welcome center. He was entertaining passersby with his bowed psaltery music.
A small herd of four deer walk across a large open field. Mountains rise in the distance. The field shows evidence of a partial, controlled burn beyond the deer.
Black and white photo of an old cantilever barn. They were commonly used in the American South, especially in Tennessee. It's built with wooden "cribs" on either end. A loft spans the second floor, but there's an open area on the ground level between the two cribs so that a person or wagon can easily pass underneath at the middle. I'm not sure if this one is original or if its a recreation of one.
A single deer stands beneath a sprawling tree, looking off to the left. Yellow daffodils grow in a patch in front of the tree. Other deer were grazing around this spot, but they can't be seen in this photo. While not tame, deer at Cades Cove are accustomed to visitors, and are more tolerant of humans than deer elsewhere.

#fall scenes from the #GreatSmokyMountains

These were all captured in one day, from an extremely rare/unique day where snow was falling on the high peaks while the fall colors were simultaneously in peak bloom. Safe to say, it’s a day I’ll never forget and conditions that I may never be privileged to experience again! The crazy part is the sun was shining at the low elevations.

"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.

I'll have a report from Bulls Gap, Tenn., and I'll talk to actress Park Overall about her community activism on behalf of clean air and water in Appalachia.

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

#Tennessee state Senator Bo Watson, of Hixson and representing Hamilton County (Chattanooga), was voted the “Most Inhumane Senator” in the state, and will go on to compete for “Most Inhumane Legislator”. tennessean.com/story/opinion/r

The competition will be *stiff*!

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."

More unhinged news from #Tennessee

"Millersville is gaining national attention for an approach to governing that democracy advocates fear. Here, conspiracy theorists carry guns and badges, using their police powers to explore notions that are sometimes completely divorced from reality.

'It’s a terrifying story that offers a perfect picture of what we face nationally as more law enforcement and military members fall into the rabbit hole of conspiracy and hate'"

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.
