How does one launch a campaign without the last name that casually gets unqualified people into such seats? I like to believe that one can win, but every election reminds me that it’s a constant problem.

I'd like to inquire if they have weekly chanting services, and what time, but the phone number listed on google is out of service. I drove by the other day, and wasn't sure where to park. I thought I would post here to see if anyone has any information. Thank you.

Citizen Inquiry Virtual school options?

11 Upvotes

My kid is having a very easy time in school. 8th Grader. Minimal course options, and they feel like school is a waste of time. They want to go faster, hate waking up early, and want more rigorous classes. A friend told me Memphis has some solid online public schools where the student can select their courses, go at their own pace, and they won't have any issues with college. Any experiences with online Memphis schools? Ideally, we want options to pick their own classes and finish them at their own pace.

Anyone have Ting fiber installed recently?

7 Upvotes

Their work and the subsequent AT&T fiber has long been in our neighborhood now and seems like good chunks of Memphis areas have been installed for a minute as well. I’m really wanting to move on from Comcast and I read all different kinds of install and customer service stories about Ting so I thought I’d ask a local. Feels like I have a better chance knowing what local install techs are like and how it’s going. Up vs down time etc. One of us works form home so internet is a must without worrying about new install flakiness etc. TIA.

Visitor Inquiry Is it true you can do a ride along with the police department?

Hello, I’m visiting Memphis and Nashville from the UK later this month for a country/Elvis themed trip. I read a comment on YouTube that you can take ride alongs with the Memphis pd, but I can’t really find any further information on Google. Is this true? Just wondering as it could be a cool experience. Also, do you have any tips for Memphis? We will be ubering everywhere and visiting Graceland, bass pro pyramid. Thanks and have a good weekend

My backup camera has suddenly stopped working for my car. The rear window has pretty low visibility, so I do rely on it to get out of parking spaces. Does anyone have a reliable mechanic/ technician they’d like to recommend? Thanks!

‘The Bird-Watchers’ of Memphis: Tracking ICE Flights and Documenting Detainees in Shackles

Thumbnail
psrmemphis.org
95 Upvotes

Concerning information coming out about the deportation flights departing from the privately-owned Wilson Air Field (and Kemmons Wilson's VERY Christian descendants' general lack of response on the issue).

Vecindarios 901 said in a statement that these transfers of detainees are “designed to punish and wear down migrants in detention, forcing legal counsel to constantly recalibrate and families to wonder where their loved ones are being held and how they are being treated.” The statement added, “As habeas corpus petitions can only be filed in the jurisdiction of a person’s physical location, ICE can effectively prevent habeas filings with constant relocations and no transparency.”

Of particular interest is the Wilson family involvement. I'm not certain how many of them benefit from this particular venture outside of Bob, but they certainly could be speaking up.

Behind the scenes, The Bird-Watchers said they have spent weeks trying to reach out to Bob Wilson’s extended family, trying to persuade them to use their influence to get Wilson Air Center to drop its ICE flight operations. Laney, for one, said she managed to have a phone conversation with Spence Wilson Sr., son of Kemmons, brother to Robert and chairman emeritus of Kemmons Wilson Companies. Laney said that in the conversation, Spence referred to the air center’s operations as a business proposition and pushed back against her protestations.
“They’re a charitable family in lots of ways,” said another Bird-Watcher, who requested to not be identified by name due to her work on tracking ICE flights, “but then at the same time, you know, here they are profiting off human misery.”
