In a week that saw another uptick of suspected ICE activity in Nashville — including at Sip Cafe in Inglewood — we were also tracking stories about housing orgs in limbo and a deep dive into eviction court. Meanwhile, Rep. Andy Ogles has declared war against local judges, and despite a resolution before Metro Council at their final meeting next week, Elon Musk’s Big Dumb Hole just keeps going. But hey, at least we’ve got In-N-Out Burgers now. Contributor Nicole Williams joins host Marie Cecile Anderson and executive producer Whitney Pastorek to break down all of that, and celebrate the healing powers of twinkly lights.
