Protests against DOGE pop up across East Tennessee following federal employee layoffs

Two #protests were held in #Knoxville against #DOGE and #Tesla. Another was held in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

"People across East #Tennessee gathered to protest the #Trump Administration, #ElonMusk and the Dept of Govt Efficiency.

The whole world is terrible but I am still looking forward to #BigEars in #Knoxville later this month. I do fear that many/most of the international artists slated to appear will either [justifiably] cancel or, worse, get turned away at the border, or thrown in border jail :(

#Tennessee Governor Bill Lee is proposing that local elected officials should be charged with a felony and removed from office if they vote in favor of any policy condoning a "sanctuary city."

That's right: #Republicans want to make it a #FELONY to VOTE a certain way! The obvious next step is to outlaw voting for #Democrats and remove them from office.

Here’s a question for all you #foodies who follow me. Our move to #Knoxville is fast approaching, and along with the move comes some changes in the kitchen. Sadly, at our new house there are electric appliances; I’ve loved my gas stove for the past 7 years. The stovetop is a glass top, and here’s where my question is based. For the past 10 or so years I’ve been cooking almost exclusively with cast iron. It truly does make a difference. My father-in-law informed me that one can’t use cast iron on a glass top stovetop. He said this as if it were an undisputed fact, but my Google searches indicate it is in fact possible to use cast iron on glass top, as long as one is careful. So I’m wondering if any of you have had experience using cast iron on glass tops. My feeling is akin to you’ll pry my cast iron from my cold, dead hands.

"#Tennessee plastics #factory staff killed in #HurricaneHelene #Helene reportedly told not to evacuate

Jacob Ingram, a mold changer at the company, told the #Knoxville News Sentinel that as the flooding started, managers instructed employees to move their cars away from the rising water – but would not let them leave."

Fucking assholes. Sue them into oblivion, unnecessary death
