WATCH: “Indefinitely paused just means canceled.” REP. @Justinjpearson calls out @mayorpaulyoung and the @MemphisChamber after Elon Musk’s xAI backs out on a key promise used to manufacture consent for approval in MEMPHIS — despite environmental harms to locals.

We’ve heard this before. Hurry and wait is the strategy. Don’t trust xAI nor the Chamber of Commerce @MemphisChamber who haven’t said anything after being the PR Company for xAI for years!
The Tennessee Holler@TheTNHoller

UPDATE: After a report that Elon Musk’s xAI is “indefinitely pausing” plans to build a promised water recycling plant in MEMPHIS that was part of the sell to locals, @mayorpaulyoung takes their word for it that they’ll get to it eventually — without any promised timetable.

Trump is an egregious threat to our country and the world. This is beyond politics—he and his followers have lost sight of the humanity and dignity in human life. It is deeply immoral and unconscionable to threaten to commit genocide. #invokethe25thamendment

This is beyond horrible and not a joke. The president of the United States of America is declaring a war crime as leverage against innocent children and people who have done nothing to us. American soldiers must disobey unlawful orders.

NY TIMES ON MEMPHIS (TN-9): “In a party that until recently was largely run by octogenarians, the push for generational change spans 🇺🇸 — a primary in Tennessee between Cohen (76) & Pearson (31) exemplifies a national push for a passing of the torch.” nytimes.com/2026/04/01/us/…

🚨MUST-WATCH: “Police boxed them in, created a situation, provoked it, escalated it. I lost a lot of faith in @MEM_PoliceDept — I hope there’s accountability.” FULL CONTEXT of MEMPHIS PD viciously attacking/pepper-spraying #NoKings marshals👇🏽 Full video: youtu.be/f-5-Hqg3OGE

Politicians - especially Dems - should pledge not to take AI money. They are buying up influence ahead of the midterms, and Dems who take AI $ will lose authority and trust as the public bears the cost. Their money will end up being toxic anyway. People are catching on.

A great chaplain of the day for the moment we are in. You can run from the Truth but you can’t hide.

🔥🔥WATCH — @MichaelEDyson leads prayer: “🌎 is on fire with bigotry & bombs… Hatred of Blackness circulates in the lungs of the beast of white Christian nationalism… We’re victims of a tyrant whose malignant narcissism seduces too many to mimic his deadly deceitfulness…” He was invited by @Justinjpearson. He did not hold back. Republicans started streaming out about halfway through.

Ignore them! We are fighting for the soul of our country and for our democracy.  It will take each of us standing up for what’s right to win. See you at No Kings this Saturday, Memphis!

Showing up matters! Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. There are some elected officials who believe sitting in wood-paneled offices and writing strong letters are enough. There are some who try to belittle the power of organizing, protesting and our right to assemble.

Trump doesn’t run Memphis. Ted Townsend doesn’t run memphis. xAI and Musk doesn’t run memphis. The PEOPLE are the power!  Stand with us and millions of people across the country as we say no to authoritarianism and this evil administration!

Rep. @Justinjpearson on Trump in MEMPHIS today: “He ain’t welcome here, mane… he’s trying to use us as part of his authoritarian playbook, treating our city as pawns. He’s a racist - posted an image of the Obamas as apes. He started an unwinnable war. This man is using us.”

“End the UN-safe task force in MEMPHIS.” Rep. @Justinjpearson @keshaunpearson and others join a “DUMP TRUMP” protest as Trump comes to take credit for a crime rate that was already dropping even before the occupation of the city

Trump is not welcome to Memphis, Mane! And he can take his unsafe task force with him when he leaves. We want poverty eradication and real investment in Memphis, not military occupation.

Elected officials are accountable to the People, not billionaires or a failing president who is using his office and this political stunt to distract away from his forever war and the Epstein files.

Trump is not welcome in Memphis. Join us in solidarity at the No Trump Rally. We will lift our voices and send a message to Trump, the state, and local leaders who were complicit in allowing the Unsafe Task Force to terrorize our communities for the past six months.

I talked about doing "Congress on Your Corner" events last month. The work of an elected official is more than an office in an ivory tower or a strongly worded letter. It's about building real relationships and genuinely connecting with our constituents.
