On the latest edition of Nir & Rupar, our live weekly video show, David Nir of The Downballot and Aaron Rupar of Public Notice talk with Justin Kanew, the founder of the Tennessee Holler, who explains why his home state has emerged as a “laboratory for theocracy.”
Justin tells us:
Why Tennessee is the “tip of the spear” when it comes to the Christian nationalist assault on liberal democracy.
How the GOP makes a mockery of local rule by constantly meddling in the affairs of the state’s two largest blue cities, Nashville and Memphis.
Why even some Republican lawmakers are balking at efforts to deny an education to undocumented kids.
And much more!
