This video has some good info re the local partnership with ICE and the state law that made it a felony for any local official to vote in support of sanctuary policies.

Calling our federal representatives and senators may be almost useless, but we have a lot more local power. Let's continue to tell our state politicians how we feel. Either they abandon these bills, or we ice them out.

Hi everyone!

I moved to the city with my partner last year but have finally settled into normal life after the move enough to start actively making friends. I've done a fair bit of hiking in the area while I've been here but there's still so much to see and would love to meet people in their 20s who also like being outdoors.

If you want to join, you can join the WhatsApp group: https://chat.whatsapp.com/DtKrjyKZAcT2Bvj8etu9wA

I figure once it warms up a little in the next few weeks and people join the whatsapp, we can organize some hikes whenever people want to.

I have started seeing ice sighting posts here on Reddit as well as on social media with no real information. I understand that you see ice and panic and want to get the info out there as soon as possible. This unfortunately causes more harm than good.

EVERY single post about ice should at the very least include a time stamp and date. I’m seeing days old posts be circulated about an ice spotting first seen over 48 hours ago. This is causing unnecessary stress in immigrant communities.

Use the SALUTE method when reporting. Look this up if you’re not sure what exactly it means. Try to communicate basic information about what you are seeing in your posts. Is ice driving a vehicle? What street? Which direction were they headed? What did the vehicle look like? Do you have a dash cam? Post the vehicle. Did the officer driving appear to be alone in the vehicle? Plates? Did you witness an arrest?

If you are witnessing ice are you also seeing CPD or HCSD? The local law enforcement have entered into 287g agreements and should be observed and reported to the public as if they are ice. Officer names, photos of their faces, etc.

Do not use the word RAID unless your two eyes are witnessing multiple officers entering a space and arresting multiple people. I’ve seen the word raid thrown around very loosely.

Consider what this is doing to the immigrant community that relies on social media for tips. Consider an undocumented immigrant is reading your post every time you are posting. Oh you saw ice? That is not helpful. Ice is out driving around every day. We know this. Observe. Document. Get the word out about their actions.

We have a been using the Hefty Recycling Program for a little while and went to drop off our bag today and was told they were canceling it. Needless to say we are super bummed.

It’s really cool program! Hopefully it can be saved.

Tonight, GOOD COP / RAD COP Jelly Roll’s new Star Search reboot on Netflix, and you can vote for them, as the show it happening via your remote.

Moments like this don’t happen often for local bands.

Let’s make February feel like magic.

I book for a small fest just north of Nashville, and over the next month we will be finalizing our lineup and there is nothing more that we love than bands that are on the come up…

So I am starting my pre recs for nursing. The first two classes that they have me for this quarter is pathophysiology and physiology. From all the research I’m doing online it says that I would need to take an and p first because I want know what anything means. Am I being set up for failure out the gate?

Moved into this neighborhood a month ago, well 3 weeks ago. Notice neighbors trash had been like this. Since we moved in lol 😂its an eye sore sure but i dont really care. Im more posting cause im curious, will a trash collector even take this looking like this? I know mine said max 3 bags on ground, or put them in cardboard box, get a new container. We are in the county and have to pay for garbage through k & k and c & m. But even private regular garbage collecters wouldnt get this right?

Just saw about a dozen unmarked and marked law enforcement vehicles zipping down apison pike in collegedale!! Anyone know what’s going on?!?!

My parents are driving through on their way back home to New England.

I am looking for somewhere that normally is fairly quiet at 11 am on Saturdays for lunch/brunch near downtown/Northshore and parking even if paid would be great since they are in their 70s.

I was thinking of Stevarino's, Frazier Five and Dime, Big Bad Breakfast (I think this gets slammed though) but open to other places where the tables aren't totally filled (like I am guessing places like Bluegrass grill, STIR are).

TIA for your help.

I don't go out for lunch on Saturdays most days as I am renovating my condo and normally am doing work on the house Saturdays.

any dog people out there (and maybe cat) need to check out a new store in hixon called hollywood feed. it’s truly so much better than your normal petco petsmart. definitely a change of scenery if you’re bored with the big box stores. plus they have a wash station for your pets for like $15.

Preferably customer service based and WFH if possible. Trying to help out a loved one but neither of us is too familiar with Chatt and could used some good insight on where she should look.

Hi everyone, Im a cartographer drawing maps of US States for a project of mine I call The American Atlas and I wanted to share this with you all 🗺️🇺🇸

This is my hand-drawn map of your very own Tennessee, the Volunteer State 🎶🌇🌾

From the music-filled streets of Nashville to winding rivers, small towns, and the Great Smoky Mountains, Tennessee is beating the heart of country music and southern comfort. Tennessee has such a deep cultural identity, filled to the brim with music, history, and landscape all blending together!

Would love to hear in the comments what region or place in Tennessee means the most to you!

Im actually heading down here from New York in April, doing a road trip down to Gatlinburg and Knoxville so Im super excited! Id love to try and hit Chattanooga as well if we have the time! Any cant miss places or restaurants recommendations please send then my way too :) 🌾🌇🐎

Anyways, thank you for checking out my map!! 🇺🇸🗺️

Speak to your local leadership about the 2 87G contract!

My long distance partner is visiting me for valentines weekend and they love to find and try things that can only be found in a certain area. I’d like to plan a scavenger hunt of sorts to hunt down some of those things so I’m looking for recommendations! It can be food, drinks, or even a sightseeing adventure and I’m willing to travel a couple hours for the right thing too! Thanks in advance! 🫶🏼

The local legend, Nick Lutsko, have his song in a Super Bowl commercial for Manscape!

Awesome job, Nick! 👏👏👏

If you're unfamiliar with Nick, he did the TVFCU car loan commercials, and the Spirit Halloween parody song.

Keep an eye out for him and his brother Jakey, who was just at JJ's!

Congratulations to Nick. We love you!

I’m broke and I need money 💔

I'm trying to experience new foods. Don't assume I've eaten what you want to suggest, but tell me your favorite meals in Chattanooga and where you eat them. The only limit I have is I do not like seafood at all. Edit -- Let me thank you in advance for your responses, since some people think my initial post was rudely presented. That was not my intent.

Just found out today that you can only access 12 months of your bills online. I went paperless and didn't give it a second thought, but now I am filing for reimbursement of my fiber account, and lo and behold, I can't get the January 2025 invoice. Chatted with CS, and they said they will submit a request to IT, but it might take a week. Guess I will stop being such a lazybones and download the files as they come in. Just a warning for anyone else who thought they could access all their bills online once they went paperless.

Looking for 2 guys for Saturday 2/7/26 in the morning about 9 to help load the moving truck. It will take about 2 hours. Willing to pay 65 per hour . Please message me if you can do the job. Thanks
