I want to publicly celebrate Rohit Malhotra for running an absolutely inspired campaign for city council president. In 5 short months, you got 50% of voters to support you all while being up against the full, ugly weight of the Atlanta Way political machinery. @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

This story offers a glimpse into how the RICO case against Stop Cop City protestors––"likely the largest criminal racketeering case ever filed against protesters in U.S. history"––has damaged, frozen, and endangered the lives of those facing charges.

Billionaires are consolidating power. Dissent is being criminalized. But people with wealth can and must fight back. Join Donors Against MAGA on June 11 to organize for democracy over authoritarianism. 🔗 bit.ly/donors-v-maga

Today in the New York Times --communal leadership at its most powerful – prominent figures & trusted voices refusing Trump-Netanyahu with clarity and unusual unity in a loving show of solidarity with Palestinians. #saynotoethniccleansing www.saynotoethniccleansing.org

I am probably on some government lists now but at least I am in good company.

So proud to be in community with folks organizing. I just donated to @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social and hope other culturally Christian folks will join me in saying #saynotoethnicleansing saynotoethniccleansing.org

Gutting USAID will have a monumental effect on combating climate change. The agency was a key player in renewable energy and disaster protection around the world—until Elon Musk showed up.

SCOOP: A US Treasury threat intelligence analysis has designated DOGE staff an ‘insider threat'. An internal email reviewed by WIRED calls DOGE staff's access to federal payments systems “the single biggest insider threat risk the Bureau of the Fiscal Service has ever faced.”

This is morally indefensible and strategically bankrupt. It’s just letting people die on purpose and it makes us weaker in every way.

Let's be clear on what this is: The Israeli government is preparing a draft plan for ethnic cleansing. I taught my undergrads about the Spanish expulsion recently. Every part of my Jewish soul and Jewish familial memory cries out against the Jewish state doing this to another people.

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

Trump and ATL Mayor Andre Dickens have something in common: they both believe it’s OK to obstruct democracy when they don’t get their way. Vote. Them. Out. Sign up to stay involved at copcityvote.org #atlpol #letusvote #doyourjob #stopcopcity

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

A private citizen shutting down a government agency is a coup. Do not normalize this.

- Chicago has successfully educated folks so well with "Know Your Rights" that "border czar" Tom Homan went on TV to complain that it's hard for ICE to conduct arrests. GOOD. "Chicago - very well educated... I've seen many pamphlets. " - Tom Homan (at 3:50) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hk1v...

The Cop City Vote coalition of Atlanta has something to say to Mayor Andre Dickens and Atlanta City Council. Count the votes and let the people decide! #stopcopcity youtu.be/EdGIqPfqE5s

The administration took down the reproductive rights website that women need access to. So The Skimm bought a url and brought the content back. Pass this on! Go to reproductiverightsdotgov.com

"Harvard University has laid off its staff in the Harvard Slavery Remembrance Program, the unit of its $100 million Harvard & the Legacy of Slavery initiative tasked with identifying the direct descendants of those enslaved by Harvard affiliates."

Die Zeit, a prominent German publication, titles its article: 'A Hitler salute is a Hitler salute is a Hitler salute.'

Support newsrooms that aren't backing down in the face of fascist threats and that publish the kind of news and analysis that fuels movements. Support @truthout.org:

while musk’s fanbois and the ADL tap dance around it, the German papers call it what it is

“The New York Times went with ‘Elon Musk Ignites Online Speculation Over the Meaning of a Hand Gesture.’ The Washington Post opted for ‘Elon Musk gives exuberant speech at inauguration.’ Some local TV stations even cut their footage right before the first and most obvious salute.”

President Biden banned new oil and gas drilling along more than 625 million acres of U.S. coastal waters on Monday. He said he was making the move because drilling posed unnecessary risks to the environment, public health and the coastal communities’ economies. nyti.ms/4gH37YL

Another terrible vote by Georgia Dem Lucy McBath.

Luigi got them shook.

This work can feel so lonely. Thank you @civicatlanta.bsky.social for reminding all of us we are many, we are powerfully…and damn, we look good. So much love to the honorees! FILA!

When my parents and grandparents were kids, white people used to have public picnics under the dead bodies of Black people swinging in the trees. Ole Miss and other southern colleges keep photos of this in their yearbooks. But THIS is “decivilization?”

Give my day job and beautiful philanthropic political home a follow on here! @solidaire.bsky.social

So many nuggets of wisdom in “The Future of Equitable Philanthropy” on SSIR, based on interviews with over a dozen leaders of color in the philanthropic sector. We are proud to be highlighted here and to see so many of our members and partners included. 👏 ssir.org/articles/ent...

Gaetz is out

"Jeff Sessions was a repulsive and retrograde choice for AG. But he wasn’t an obscenely unqualified one like Gaetz, who's out to destroy the DOJ from within, wreck its ability to actually enforce the laws, and weaponize it into a device for Trump to pursue his personal and political grievances."

🚨ATL Mayor Andrew Dickens is pressuring Atlanta City Council to divest from a groundbreaking diversion program: Policing Alternatives & Diversion Initiative. Council can vote on this legislation Monday 11/18. Here is my address to city Council on 11/4 for SCHR. www.canva.com/design/DAGWk...

Me every time a new person is announced on that man’s team.

Hi! This account mostly posts about Black ATL, the South, human rights, the carceral state & occasional tomfoolery. Every now and then I share a story proving that my daughter is the best part of my life & my mother is the foundation for everything. Even though 9/10 times they’re dragging me.💜

Anyone you see on your timeline right now praising RFK Jr. is a person you never need to take seriously on anything ever again. It is difficult to overstate just how extreme, conspiratorial, and insane RFK’s views are, on vaccines, microchips & beyond. He’s Alex Jones in a suit.

Lucy McBath has been on the wrong side of votes for quite some time. Is this vote her absolute worst??

Polio after hearing RFK was selected as HHS secretary.
