Shout out to the woman at breakfast trying to explain to her father why it’s okay for him to be white and still acknowledge that racism and systemic abuse exists

WHY is there not a train from Atlanta to Albany?

If there’s anything I’ve learned about society in the last few years, it’s the widespread inability to carry nuance.

My take-home message is that mainstream white America doesn’t think white supremacy makes him an awful person

It may very well be one of the great tragedies of my life that I’ve wasted some of my best rhetorical writing on Facebook idiots instead of publishing something useful.

Just remember, before you hit block, take a screenshot.

If the echo in my chamber is “bigotry is bad” or “we deserve to live in a society without white supremacy” or “all violence is bad, not just the visible kind” then bring it on.

LFG BULLS 💚🤘🏽💚🤘🏽💚🤘🏽

Sad Gators fans make me happy!

If the Bulls beat UF today, might mom might finally forgive me for picking USF over FSU. #GoBulls

If my husband let me sleep with my mouth open on a national broadcast, we would not recover. #GoBulls

If there’s one plus to entering another war, it will be the number of times policy experts have to say “bunker buster” completely stone-faced.

Announcing nuclear war on social media feels right at this point in our society.

Referred to myself as an Excel girly for my class discussion today so I’d say we’re starting off summer semester strong.

A very dumb bird built a nest in the planter on my front porch so I’ve now added keeping baby birds safe from the cat colony in my neighborhood to the unexpected anxieties of this summer. Anyone got tips?

It’s not a sexy topic, but I’m staying glued to my soapbox that until we change the way we generate education revenue, we will never be able to resolve the other challenges our schools are facing. Until we remediate the inherently disparate foundation, we’re just treating symptoms. #FundOurSchools

Human beings are so cool. Today I watched a guy squat and bench 405# within the same hour.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill.

Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors.

Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

Y'all should call your Georgia state Rep / Senator and ask them where's the budget...

If anything starts my villain arc, it will be Sine Die week in the GA General Assembly.

There’s still life in legislature for bill attempting to ban DEI in Georgia education If legislation doesn’t pass one chamber or the other before Crossover Day, it can still be revived if lawmakers attach it to a bill that did pass the House or Senate.

Georgia lawmakers are pushing a bill that could strip funding from schools for programs that make students feel welcome. “This could be a threat to school funding,” warns IDRA's @mikaylaarciaga.bsky.social

“Schools are already trying to make ends meet.”

Given today’s events, I believe this motion is still in order.

Senate Dems have been fighting the good fight, but they are REALLY showing their gumption over the DEI bill and I am loving it!! Even if it means we'll be here at 1 AM... #gapol

If you’re looking for acts of resistance, the @gasenatedems.com are using every rule in the book to draw out the debate on #HB127, a bill which the majority party stripped and replaced with language to defund schools & universities with any programs for “DEI”.

So who’s going to buy us another 24 hours of no BS in the Senate? 👀

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!
