The drama series, starring #MichaelDouglas, explores how the 70-year-, premier on one of the greatest gambles of his career, convinced the absolute monarchy of France to underwrite America's experiment in democracy.
Another great #Peanuts special on Apple TV+. Really been impressed with their newer content featuring one-ofs focusing on individual characters (see: Lucy, Peppermint Patty, Marcie). The vibe is accurate.
A possible Nazi rally was a complete flop in #Franklin, #Tennessee despite flyers circulating calling for a “March of the Tristar Legionnaires." Organizer of the rally, Brad Lewis, who describes himself as an "actual Nazi," runs the Lewis Country Store in Franklin and hosts meet-ups for white supremacist groups at a gym located above his business.
The same neo-Nazis have been in the news cycle recently after coming out to "protect" Gabrielle Hanson, a pro-Trump Republican running for Mayor, from "antifa" at a recent election event. Hanson would go on to defend the neo-Nazis in the press and even share their statements in her campaign press releases.
But with the recently election over, we can now report that Hanson has lost her race by a wide margin and on Monday, resigned from the Franklin Board of Aldermen.
According to a local news report, Hanson "...[has] been in the hot seat on several occasions this year for making controversial comments on The Covenant School mass shooting, sending a threatening letter to Nashville International Airport leaders regarding Franklin's Juneteenth event, alleged support from neo-Nazis, and a prostitution scandal."
After losing poorly in the recent Mayoral race, Hanson predictably cried about "election fraud."
Align yourself with white supremacists and neo-Nazis - lose every time.
Well, that mayoral race in Franklin, Tennessee, is over, and Gabrielle Hanson, who had clearly and openly nailed down the Nazi vote, has lost.
Soundly.
The final tally was:
Hanson: 3,322
Moore: 12,822
Math isn't my thing, but that looks like about a 4-to-1 margin. Which is nice.
Still, there are 3,000+ people there who didn't think that conspiracy theories about a local school shooter, really weirdly lying that a photo of randos from the internet was of friends of hers (big "See? I have Black friends" energy there), and cavorting with Nazis were a dealbreaker. Alright, well, noted.
I suspect that things won't just settle down in central TN now that the region's most prominent Nazi den mother has been denied public office, but I'd love to be wrong. We'll see.
"White supremacist group delivers show of force for Franklin mayoral candidate Gabrielle Hanson."
"This is a group that openly is anti-Semitic," said Jeff Tischauser, senior researcher for the Southern Poverty Law Center. "They are racist, full of racist, bigoted white supremacists. Online, they are worshiping Hitler."
Some models are showing that the ex-hurricane (left) could mix with the low (right) that has recently brought flooding to Spain. It could then develop into a tropical or subtropical depression later this week off the coast of Portugal. #weather#WX
