NEW: Today, the Republican Party is pushing a judge to jail Fulton County commissioners.

Why? They refuse to vote to appoint two far-right election denial activists to the Fulton County Election Board who have a history of undermining elections.

Black and Latino residents continued to be disproportionately affected, both nationally and locally, based on new neighborhood data.
New data shows 2024 was highest year for deadly police encounters in 11 years
The rise comes as the momentum for police reform has died five years after the 2020 murder of George Floyd.

Rs are going to do a thing about lowering prices. The price of gas, eggs,& interest rates have all gone up w/ no strategy to address it.

They are taking a stuffed animal to a gun fight re: the debt. The sh*t won’t work & they know it. It’s about making themselves richer. Period!

This *really* pisses me off. But this is not surprising given the complete lack of shame we’ve seen from culture war hustlers like Musk and the GOP.

You will read countless times today that the LA mayor cut the LA Fire Department's budget by $23 million.

That is a lie.

The budget was actually *increased* by $50 million.

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."
