Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”

We have got to flip this Fulton Board of Commissioners. We’ve got Commissioners seriously saying we need to fund a JAIL before we feed the hungry without SNAP benefits.

Absolute bullshit. “It’s not an emergency right now” says the commissioner making 6 figures with taxpayer funded healthcare.

I can't exaggerate how important it is that every ICE officer is met with contempt & mockery in public, everywhere they go, for the rest of their lives.

On Friday, I'm talking with Peter Hubbard, who is running for one of the two open seats on the Georgia Public Service Commission (PSC -- the state's utility regulator). This is an extremely important race! Not enough people are paying attention!

Got any questions?

Ossoff: "We have a president who's completely out of control, a crook engaged in unprecedented corruption, who's passing one of the most unpopular agendas in history. The public is turning against him. The opposition is motivated. We can win & we have to win, but we don't have the luxury of despair"

Trumps most recent EO defines “civil disorder” as a “politically motivated terrorist act”.

Make no mistake. They will use this to punish dissent at protests and rallies in order to discourage us. DO NOT LET THEM.

Remember that what you see online is engineered to maximize engagement over compassion.

I encourage everyone to take a moment to breathe and reflect before posting for the sake of the hot take.

If you want to build a society around solidarity & non-zero-sum cooperation, you have to find a way to go around these folks, to deny them power, to develop social norms that marginalize them. You're not going to persuade or convert them.

Today, I spoke at our Board of Commissioners meeting to staunchly oppose the appointment of 2 election deniers to our Board of Elections.

When it comes to our democracy, our leaders have no greater responsibility than to use every tool available to protect our electoral integrity.

I think it’s high time we take back the national narrative. For centuries Americans of all races, genders, religions, and abilities have worked to create a more perfect union, and we should shout from the rooftops that WE are America. Not these idiot white supremacist authoritarians.

I don't think it's a coincidence that so many mayoral candidates are running on platforms that unapologetically promise to give people great mobility options besides driving — and they're winning their primaries by *massive* margins. Wrote about urbanism as a campaign issue in Seattle & beyond.
