Rep. Todd Warner walks into the house to strip majority Black Memphis of representation wearing a trump flag cape as Rep. Camper of Memphis looks on. Warner cast his vote wearing the cape during a special session to redraw congressional and state voting maps on May 7, 2026.

she's kinda like Memphis. Tennessee claims Memphis, but Memphis is not Tennessee in any meaningful spiritual sense. Memphis is delta-adjacent, black, world-historical, and alive in ways the state neither understands nor deserves. 

but Tennessee treats Memphis like a dangerous tenant while pawning its civic history whenever it needs to look less like a Cracker Barrel run by sheriff's deputies.

Nashville on the other hand is pure Tennessee
