Are federal agents really making us safer? New reporting from @MLK50Memphis shows most people arrested by the “Memphis Safe Task Force” weren’t charged with violent crimes, and many immigrants were detained on civil warrants. #freethe901

Behind every arrest is a crisis: parents detained or deported, babies without formula, families too afraid to leave home. Federal agents are tearing families apart. We need opportunity and investment, not militarized troops on our streets. #FreeThe901

Good news for democracy! Mayor Lee Harris vetoed the resolution that would’ve cut short the terms of over half our elected School Board members. Now it’s time to turn that momentum toward stopping the state’s attempted takeover of MSCS. https://t.co/rWZnHQUDON

Mayor Lee Harris rejected the proposal from county commissioners in a two-line memo sent Monday. The commission needs one more vote to override the mayor’s veto in the next 30 days.

In violation of TN law, kids as young as 13 are being held in solitary confinement for weeks in Shelby County — cut off from school, sunlight, and human contact. This is not justice. It’s trauma. Investigation by: @MLK50Memphis

In non-National Guard news… last week the County Commission voted to cut School Board members’ terms short. Rolling back democracy like this sets a dangerous precedent — if they can do it to the Board, what’s stopping the state from doing it to them? https://t.co/cm8mih6DrI

Memphis-Shelby County Schools board members have called the plan a form of retaliation. But advocates say resetting election dates is nothing personal.

The County resolutions failed last night, but the City still has a chance to take a stance against deploying the National Guard. The resolution should be heard near the beginning of the meeting, so make sure to call, email, and get there early! https://t.co/Wo8iXuS9uB
