I just wrote a short scathing letter to the governor. I do not expect it to produce change. But if we do nothing, then, given our present status of being hogtied by Republican gerrymandering in any legislative corrections, a letter is what can be done.
I hope that many also register their disgust with this. it is just not alright!
This dark time in our state’s history calls for heroes who will stand up against Trump’s regime. Unfortunately our current governor, state legislators and U.S. congressmen are all in lockstep with the regime, denying rightful due process to the cruel practice of disappearing migrants, whether here legally or illegally. Where are the heroes?
I’m glad I grew up in Nashville when a convicted felon wasn’t our President & our local leaders were more interested in protecting & caring for Nashvilleans than their personal re-elections.
More than distressing!! Trump is accelerating towards total fascist destruction of federal safeguards, gutting of all agencies, departments, & programs that provide oversight &/or benefits to citizens, and stifling journalism, libraries, & universities — any institutions that provide insight about fascism & ways to resist totalitarian delusions. States MUST reject Trump’s minions using state personnel for immoral & soon to be determined illegal actions against citizens and immigrants!!
Thank you, Keel 🙏🏽
And shame on grandstanding Andy Oogles, offering misleading perspective and speaking to an audience of very few.

Would calls to the Governors office help? Hundreds a day? Let him know that this is unacceptable. It could start happening to any of us.

Good column, as always.
Thank you, Keel. Please continue to speak up.
We have deported hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants over the years. What is different now?
Keel: Your words have no value. You continue to prove you are on the wrong side of righteousness.
