Decarcerate Memphis

Hundreds of hours were volunteered to make this report a reality. It’s incredible what regular people can do when we do it together! We proudly present The People’s Report 2024: Driving While BIPOC 🥳

@rlhii96 We didn’t ask for a property tax hike…

@Mighty990KWAM Why don’t yall ever ask about the money that MPD lost?

JUST IN: $20 Million of MATA money is "MISSING." Where did it go?

this IS policing. this is who the cops are. how much more money will we keep pouring into this murderous institution until more people realize that you can't reform or "fix" something that is doing exactly what it was set up to do? there is no reforming this. defund and abolish

@Mighty990KWAM Yall triggered ain’t it?

FROM TODD STARNES: Four years ago I purchased KWAM with the intent of turning it into a locally-owned, locally-run radio station - a place where Memphis could go for breaking news. My family is from Whitehaven. I was born at Baptist Hospital. And I'm one of those people that wants to make Memphis matter again. This is my home. I am also a conservative. I believe in debate. I believe in hearing both sides of the story. That's why KWAM is a radio station that welcomes both Republicans AND Democrats. We hold ALL of our elected leaders accountable - Republican AND Democrat. And we are not afraid to speak truth to power. That's why folks like Tami Sawyer, Justin Pearson, London Lamar and Mayor Young are triggered by KWAM. They called us "white supremacist radio." Well, I want to officially invite all of them to come on-air and explain their heinous allegation. And we have a few questions for them as well. What say you, @tamisawyer @Justinjpearson and @SenatorLamar?

South Memphis celebrates its collective power after closure of Sterilization Services of Tennessee, but the fight continues with the other 16 facilities polluting the air. bit.ly/4dv795f

Happy Birthday Mr. Tyre Nichols! You should be here. We should be celebrating your skating skills, photographs, and joy you brought your family. Love to you and your entire family who keep fighting especially Mama Wells and Mr. Wells!! @MLK50Memphis

@Mighty990KWAM @mayorpaulyoung In the whole nation?! Really? You think so? We’re blushing.

JUST IN: @mayorpaulyoung is working hand-in-hand with Decarcerate Memphis - one of the most radical, leftwing, anti-police organizations in the nation. #DefecateMemphis

Today is Tyre Nichols 31st birthday. Billboards have popped up all around memphis as we celebrate him. He continues to make a difference despite the vicious way the Memphis police officers murdered him. Happy Birthday Tyre 🥳 #JusticeForTyre

@SenBrentTaylor Brent Tainter- tough on crime- unless it’s Trump (and his sycophants) …But we knew that…

It is a shame that we live in a time when progressive DAs in our justice system will convict a former president over alleged payments to a hooker, while locally our justice system releases violent criminals onto our streets with low or no bail while they await sweetheart plea agreements. Despite the position some have put our country in, may God bless us with the wisdom and the strength to turn this bullshit around!

@KMcknz Does he think he’s a celebrity on the Jimmy Fallon show? What a loser.

This is the Tennessee Republicans senator from a wealthy Memphis suburb who has made it his mission to boss Memphis on behalf of the Republican- controlled state legislature. You couldn't make this stuff up.

@MemphisHoller @mayorpaulyoung Gross

“@mayorpaulyoung plans to increase the presence of cameras and surveillance around the city. In the mayor's newsletter, Mayor Young said the city has set aside more than $2.5 million for the installation of a city-wide camera network.” buff.ly/3K5VEnp

RT @Amberisms_: Remember that time I told y’all Interim Chief Davis is a LIAR. Aw ok. Thanks for proving my point @LucasFinton

@repgillespie 🤣🤣🤣

This legislative session, I stood up for the rule of law to protect Memphians from violence. Thank you for electing me as your voice.

@eddieACAB Imagine that

@LukeCymbal Californian Sunlight and Visitors to SeaWorld Sour Cream Consumption and Motorcycle Deaths Death by Tangled Bedsheets and Cheese Consumption Age of Miss America and Murders by Hot Objects Honey Produced by Bees and Drowning Money Spent on Pets and Death by stairs Get it?

Governor Youngkin is exactly right. The correlation between adolescent marijuana usage with data points like psychosis and violent crime is mind-boggling.

@LukeCymbal The per capita consumption of cheese correlates with the number of people who died by becoming tangled in their bedsheets
