This is a screenshot of a bluesky post from “The Tennessee Holler” posted 12 hours ago. The post reads: “If you’re zip-tying grandmas protesting losing health care maybe you’re not the good guys in the story?” The post includes a repost from Joe G posted 2 hours ago that says “Arresting people in wheelchairs protesting Medicaid cuts.” Below the text is a video thumbnail showing what appears to be law enforcement officers restraining an elderly person in a wheelchair in what looks like a government building or office setting.
This is Tennessee. My sister in law just left there after working in rural areas the last few years. She spent time as an aid worker in Kabul and found Tennessee to be worse off.
People would talk about Baltimore as being a really scary place.
And I wished they talk more about Tennessee being just a sad awful state.
