🚨Georgia is ramping up another voter purge. The state just launched an audit targeting people with P.O. boxes, those living in group homes, and even voters over 105 years old.

If flagged, voters risk being kicked off the rolls.

Keep your vote safe.

So meta eats the books. Then Trump kills the libraries?

If you’re looking for me, I’ll be sitting in a house full of books, maps, and magazines, white-knuckling everything I’ve ever cared about.
Get ready to lose a shit-ton of library services.

Dear @ossoff.senate.gov and @warnock.senate.gov . No cute amendments. Use your power to stop the Trump/Musk crime spree. Article 1 of the Constitution is not a “nice to have”

Atlanta has seen the consequences of inaction. Now, we demand action. A crosswalk at Peachtree Center is not a luxury—it’s a necessity. The city must not delay safety any longer. Let's get it done.

“The unreliability and low customer experience that occurs for too many Atlanta residents daily across MARTA has eroded the trust riders desire to place in our transit agency,” Shipman said.

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.
Teachers teach. We need a leaderful movement, and there are leaders all around us.
