While it's unclear who sent the email (I have my guesses!), the email goes to great lengths to extoll Andre Dickens' policy on public safety, leaving little doubt whose side they're on.

Then, it goes on to attack organizations supporting his campaign - like Georgia Working Families Party, whose field work was integral to 2021 and 2022 electoral victories for Democrats in GA.

It has 0 disclosure who sent it or paid for it. Is it a campaign? A separate org? We have no idea. It calls Rohit, an Indian-American Atlantan, someone who wil "threaten the safety of our families, neighborhoods, schools, and businesses". Worse - it DARKENS his skin + beard from the original photo.

ATL: You can tell ATL power players are terrified of @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social because the racist smears are ramping up. Yesterday, this FULLY ANONYMOUS email landed in my inbox - alleging that Rohit, a nonprofit leader and organizer, is an "Alarming Threat to Public Safety". THREAD ⬇️ #gapol

SB 185, banning gender affirming care for incarcerated ppl in GA, was ruled unconstitutional, and now the GAGOP is calling for the removal of the judge. Transphobia is directly tied to democratic backsliding and it’s a farce to pretend it isn’t. Liberation for all of us or none of us. Cc: democrats

Headlines like this drive me nuts because MAHA has never been about health, it's been about a purge of disability from public life, anti-science ideology that facilitates fascism, and white supremacy. It's incredibly obvious! This is not a serious effort! It's an insurgency!

I want to talk about Cop City. Before Kesha Waites (probably) kicked the leading Democratic PSC primary candidate off the ballot, she was on the Atlanta City Council.
A lot of us that worked with the Stop Cop City movement, have long warned that Cop City, unchecked, will come for all of us. #gapol

The entire Democratic caucus watching the vote from the hallway TVs - refusing to re-enter the chamber until the next bill. Hearing lots of talk that Dems, while not able to break quorum, wanted to disrupt the sense of “business as usual” amid the onslaught of anti-trans bills.

Lots of solidarity in the hallway. Most legislators are wearing “No Discrimination in Georgia!” Stickers opposing SB185 and other anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ bills in this year’s session.

BREAKING: Rather than dignify SB 185, a gender affirming care ban for incarcerated people, with a vote, GA House Democrats have staged a mass walkout in a show of opposition and solidarity with trans Georgians. #gapol @erininthemorning.com @assignedmedia.org

“Justice isn’t determined by polling numbers. It should be determined by fairness, sound policy, and equality…SB 1 does none of those things. It makes transgender students less safe. It makes life harder for transgender kids. This about using children as pawns in a political game.”

“One race, one event, does not justify legislation that impacts thousands of people…the cost is banning an entire group of kids from participating in sports. This bill doesn’t solve a fairness issue. It’s about creating fear and dividing us further.”

“Where is the evidence of a crisis? If fairness were really the goal, we’d be talking about the disparities in scholarships, coaching, and protection from abuse. SB 1 does nothing. It just subjects a small group of students to abuse.”

“I don’t care how you vote, you don’t put children in a position where they have to say no to a grown man, who is bigger and stronger than them because they want to play the sport they love. I ask you, let them amend this. It’s all I ask. This is a dangerous bill.”

Rep. Wilkerson: “I’m here as a father, a coach, a Christian, and a husband…who’s going to prevent my child from being accused? Who will verify and protect them? I’m asking for the Larry Nassar amendment right now. Because he was a DOCTOR. They couldn’t fight because they wanted to compete.”
