I was given the chance to speak at the Atlanta ICE Field office, while supporting the release of Rodney Taylor.
Rodney is a double amputee who has been here for over 40+ years. ICE has held him for months now.
We demand Rodney be released so he can heal at home with his family!

Yesterday’s election showed people are ready for something new. Zohran proved it’s possible to beat the corporate establishment when you organize.
Now it’s our turn. We’re building that same movement in the South, to make Atlanta the progressive capital of the Southeast once again.

General strike only works if we can feed ourselves.
Organize a one-month canned reserve at home, block by block.
We can also update the TEFAP (The Emergency Food Assistance Program) to support this from the legislative side to allow "prepping" as part of emergency assistance.

In twelve days, New Yorkers will begin to cast their ballots and face a stark choice.
A choice between democracy and oligarchy. Between a city you can afford or more of the same. Between the hope of a brighter future or a broken past.
We will choose the future.

I think a lot of the “change” in MTG’s messaging isn’t evolution, it’s positioning.
They know a power vacuum is coming after the Trump regime collapses.
The Epstein files will blow open, the economy’s collapsing, and the opportunists are getting ready to jump ship.

The Hamilton song “Wrote My Way Out” always hits home. That’s me with code — I wrote my way out too.
My family crossed the border chasing a better life. America once saw the humanity in our struggle and gave us a chance.
It’s my turn to return the favor — and I’m not throwing away my shot.

Help us defeat AIPAC in Georgia.
AIPAC is dumping millions into Georgia to buy our elections and silence working-class voices.
They represent war profiteers, apartheid, and politicians too cowardly to call out genocide.
We rejected every dime from groups complicit in human suffering.

The Cornelius Taylor Coalition brought out a group of speakers, including former residents of the Old Wheat Street Encampment. The group is fighting for wraparound services for unhoused individuals in the city of Atlanta. They have also asked for Old Wheat Street to be renamed for Cornelius Taylor.

I’ve got a feeling we’re heading for a supermajority in 2028 and the first thing we should do is double the size of the Supreme Court.
The people deserve a court that serves democracy, not corporate power.
