When the flash flood warnings hit Atlanta and I see Moreland Avenue flooded, I’m reminded of which neighborhoods have received investment from completed voter approved infrastructure projects and which neighborhoods have not.

@gasenatedems.com let us know what you have planned next 👀

enormously grateful for Democrats in Georgia using every avenue possible tonight. real opposition looks like picking every goddamn procedural fight.

“At least let democracy have some daylight in this august chamber.” - Leader Harold Jones II

Lt. Gov Burt Jones may have called @gasenatedems.com out of order, but we know that’s just a cover to stop good trouble in Georgia and silence opposition against #HB27. This fight ain't over y'all. 12/12

“I rise to oppose #SB36. I grew up in Catholicism and it has been a wellspring of how to treat people... While we are allowed to believe as we choose, we have to respect the way that others believe and not impose our values on others, especially when it causes harm.” - Rep Marvin Lim on #RFRA. 4/x

“If this bill is about stopping religious discrimination, then why were amendments to ban discrimination repeatedly rejected?” - @ruwaromman.bsky.social pointing out the hypocrisy of #SB36 and the Georgia GOP's so-called religious freedom bill. 3/x

“We cannot keep messing with people’s lives like this.” - @ruwaromman.bsky.social speaking powerfully about the role government ought to play in our lives compared to the role this Georgia General Assembly actually plays with bills like #SB36 that provide a license to discriminate. 2/x

RIGHT NOW: RFRA is on the floor of the Georgia State House–this bill claims to protect freedom of religion, a right already guaranteed by the First Amendment. #SB36 actually provides a license to discriminate against people of faith, LGBTQ+ Georgians, women, and more. 1/x

The Mayor Office's announcement fulfills a key demand from the astroturfing NIMBY group Better Atlanta Transit and developer Portman Holdings just days after Dickens launched his reelection campaign.

Since the 2016 passage of the More MARTA referendum, exactly zero projects promised have opened!

getting hyped for crossover day by doing my robotics prelab 💥🤖‼️, such is the life of young Georgians trying to get politicians to actually represent us. if you have no midterm exams in your life, pls help and come to the Capitol with me

WATCH & SHARE: This morning's full remarks from Pastor Bryant in the Georgia State Senate in advance of hearing #SB1, a broad bill that bans trans youth from participating in all school sports. Props to our partners at @progressgeorgia.bsky.social for this video. 10/x

TODAY: We’re in the Capitol where we expect the Georgia State Senate to take up SB1, a broad bill that bans trans youth from participating in all school sports and ban trans athletes from using the correct restrooms and locker rooms. Follow this thread and @gaequality.bsky.social for updates! 1/x

there’s something so sobering about being in middle school watching Trump get elected for the first time and realizing that in the years I took to learn to organize, my party just learned to roll over

incredible to watch us sink into one constitutional crisis after another while Democrats just make solemn little statements or vote for Trump’s agenda

Like a lot of y’all, we’re new here. As a multiracial youth advocacy org, GYJC moved to Bluesky because we need a space free of tech losers giving Nazi salutes and fostering bigotry and harassment. We’re reclaiming our narrative while we build a brighter future for Georgia—join us for what’s next!
