Georgia AG and Governor hopeful Chris Carr wants you to know he's really into the murder of fishermen in international waters.

BREAKING: Senator Brian Strickland, state AG hopeful...was talked over by KSU students? No, seriously, this man-child is claiming to be "silenced" because of kids talking loudly... With an ego that fragile, no wonder he wants the state to crack down on speech he doesn't like.

It is utterly insane that there are people who look at this moment and convince themselves that fascism isn't here, or that the prevailing common sense is somehow "incitement" or "violence." We do not have to live like this!

Notable that like most Republicans, Kennedy outright rejects the objective reality of the authoritarian regime we currently suffer under and calls criticism of the regime "incitement to violence."

Multiple prominent Georgia Republicans casually calling the New Georgia Project-a non-partisan voter initiative to empower racial minorities-a "scam." Name a more iconic duo than Republicans and racism.

Now, pray tell, what is a large gathering of Georgia General Assembly members doing at the gala of a far-right, dark-money, illegal-lobbying, SPLC-recognized hate group? (also known as Frontline Policy, a Project 2025 policy fellow)

Apparently, it's considered conservative "common sense" to ignore constitutional law on the state and federal levels and violate court orders? Also, I'm no expert...but shouldn't an attorney general be familiar with the failed legislation they're trying to defend in court?

Just absolute clownery from the Republican members of the Georgia General Assembly.

Republicans keep insisting this is about fiscal responsibility, but the law in question does not even allow inmates to pay for their own healthcare!

During the legislative session, Georgia Republicans were reminded again and again in every hearing that SB185 and it's policies of stripping trans inmates of healthcare were unconstitutional at the state and federal levels.

Furthermore, the state law violated much more than the settlement terms set nearly a decade ago; codified the barbaric practice of forcibly shaving trans women's heads in an effort to institutionalize this cruelty.

In other news, Libs of TikTok and Stephen Miller are inciting stochastic terrorism against the district judge who blocked the GAGOPs unconstitutional ban on healthcare for incarcerated trans folks.

Cissupremacist bullshit strikes again! Trans folk "feel" under attack? We are fighting for our damn lives! Between the rise in stochastic terrorism, stasi state violence, and legislative attempts to expel us from societal participation...

This abject criminal cruelty is what the GAGOP unanimously backed and celebrated. This lawless party of unconstitutional disorder cannot be reformed or worked with. It cannot be allowed to stand

The most prominent state elected Republicans are tripping over themselves in swearing fealty to a guy who can't even spell the name of the state he's running for!

I suspect the ethics scandal is only beginning with the new backing of Georgia's premiere dark-money and illegal lobbyist group Frontline Policy (affiliated with Project 2025, ADF, and the Heritage Foundation).

According to far-right lobbyist group Greater Georgia, senator Jon Ossoff is responsible for *checks notes* a police riot and military occupation in California? Only lobbyists can be this confidently wrong...

Next up, SB39--restrictions on adult care! Senator Blake Tillery has claimed many reasons for this legislation, ranging from "stopping the state from paying for child sex changes" to "protecting Georgians from radical gender ideology."

Next up, SB30, a full-on ban on gender-affirming care for young trans Georgians, with bill author Senator Ben Watson having changed his stance in previous years of wanting to, "take a pause," restricting care solely to puberty blockers; to now conflating the same blockers with lobotomies.
