They’ll say ICE just needs more training, but Renee’s death came from ego and hatred unleashed in a moment of vitriol.

I'm back with a new edition of What's on Fire, where I discuss the first few days of session in the Georgia Assembly & Governor Kemp's State of the State address. This is a once in a generation election cycle and each of us can play a part in flipping our state for the better.

It’s quite hypocritical when GOP leaders invoke God as they openly defy His command to care for the least among us #GAPol

It’s easy for a Governor who hasn’t had to think about paying a bill for years to say we don’t need the programs he’s cutting. But Georgians who don’t have health insurance, whose roads aren’t holding up, and whose wages have stayed too low as costs skyrocket disagree. #gapol

Governor is bragging about our rainy day fund because he’s underfunding everything else. That’s like bragging about your savings account with all your bills still unpaid. #GAPol

Thanks to @knowadebaraso.bsky.social for having me on the pod to discuss the gubernatorial race and my love for this state.

There were 7 democrats on that stage in Savannah last week, and yet I was the only one to talk about the right to organize in the workplace and fight back against corporate greed. Georgians don’t want the same old politics that leaves them behind. We deserve better.

Day 1 at the Capitol, and y’all showed up. Hundreds packed the halls demanding an agenda that puts people over corporations. For a moment, it truly felt like the people’s house! #GAPol

many >>>>>> money

Every day we’re told there’s “no other option.” That cruelty is inevitable. That injustice is unavoidable. That’s a lie. Everything we’re living through is the result of cruel choices that hurt instead of help, turn the American dream into a nightmare, and make life harder.

Corporate democrats and republicans want to invest in corporations. I want to invest in Georgians because for too long we've handed money over to corporate interests and defunded critical programs like healthcare leaving us all behind. We deserve better.

We live in the richest country on earth — medical debt and medical bankruptcy should not exist. The reality is we are closer to Medicaid expansion than most people realize. But unlike my opponents I know that’s the bare minimum. We also need to think about what comes next.

Our communities deserve safety, dignity, and freedom from fear. Next stop: Debate stage

Today in Minneapolis, a masked government agent killed Renee Nicole Good, a United States citizen, at close range. Federal agents then prevented a doctor from administering aid. No amount of spin can change those facts. 1/

Movement building is not polished. It takes so much work. But it makes the wins that much sweeter. This year is a once in a generation election cycle for our state. And only a movement like ours can meet the moment. Join us!

You don’t actually need Google for this one. Join our movement!

5 years since January 6, 2021. Each year I reflect on this photo taken a week after the insurrection. We reflect, not for spectacle, but to remember the truth, reject political violence, and recommit to democracy — not as an idea, but as a practice.

Five years ago today, we elected Senators Ossoff and Warnock to the Senate showing the country what Georgia is capable of. This year, we’re gonna surprise the country again and flip the Governor’s mansion. 1/

TOMORROW: I’ll be streaming with the incredible Georgia State Representative Ruwa Romman! Make sure to tune in January 6 at 7 PM CT on Twitch or YouTube 🍑 Drop any questions I should ask below!! 🍑 @ruwaromman.bsky.social

On Saturday we kicked off our Georgia We Deserve tour at Manuel's Tavern where we talked about how Georgia can become a place we can afford and where we belong. The crowd was incredible representing our multi-faith, multi-racial, multi-generational coalition!

The horrors persist but so do we. AJC Polar Opposite Peachtree Road Race done!

Neither the American people nor Congress voted for a sequel to Iraq in our own hemisphere. This is lawless, illegal, and puts American lives at risk. What is the goal? What are we being distracted from and what cost is Trump willing to make us pay? 1/

I will never understand why every elected official hasn’t done everything they can to end citizens united. Call time is the worst. How is that not motivator enough?

For decades, corporate profits came first. Now working families are paying the price. As governor, Ruwa Romman has a plan to lower costs and build a Georgia where we can afford to live—and belong.

I believe. I believe in a Georgia we can afford and where we belong. We can fix the problems of our present and invest in our future. Together. Join our movement at ruwaforgeorgia.com

We can absolutely make 2026 the year we turn the corner and build for a better future. One where people are put over profits. One where leaders finally have the courage of their convictions. One where we care for one another the way we care for ourselves.

Grateful to every person that showed up in 2025 to fight for a better future! We’re just getting started ✨

Sam ran a phenomenal campaign and almost unseated a multi-decade incumbent. Next year, there are no incumbents in the race for Governor. We can do this!

Deeply grateful to the venerable monks for the opportunity to be in community with them. Together we can have peace. But it requires all of us committing to the action of peace. instagram.com/reel/DS6bVZfEQsP/?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Today marks one year since President Jimmy Carter passed. We’re grateful for the example he set and the legacy he leaves behind, reminding us what it means to lead with humanity and care for one another.

Honored to be welcoming the Buddhist Monks walking for peace tomorrow. Grateful for their witness and care for our world!

we gave our graphic designer the night off. if you don’t want it to happen again, chip in $5.26! or if you do, donate anyway!

Y'all, this is a crowded field of candidates, but I'm the only candidate that has publicly pledged not to take corporate PAC or the state equivalent of AIPAC funding. My priority has been and will always be Georgians. We are running the way we want to govern.

Wishing a meaningful Kwanzaa to all celebrating. May this week be a time centered around unity, community, and creativity!

Merry Christmas to all celebrating!

This admin is rounding up people without due process and putting them in these inhumane and privately funded facilities for the benefit of their rich friends. There has been no communication from the Governor or any state level officials about this facility. It’s outrageous

Ruwa Romman is the real deal. She’s been in the GA State House where she’s collaborated with important community orgs and she’s now running for Governor 🔥🔥🔥

Housing costs are skyrocketing because of corporations like BlackRock and what have Georgia Republicans done? They gave these companies tax breaks while preventing cities and counties from doing anything about it. Next year, we change that together!

For those keeping track at home: in addition to ruining every industry by monopolizing markets, taking over small businesses, and making homes unaffordable, venture capitalists also target college students directing death threats their way. It’s not the first time either.

Next year will be a once in a generation election where we have the opportunity to flip the Governor's Mansion AND the State House. Join Rep. Ruwa Romman for the 1st stop of the Georgia We Deserve Tour where we ring in the New Year together and commit to a Georgia we can afford and where we belong.

Episode 2 of the Ruwa Report is out now! We’re talking all things healthcare from what’s happening in DC, and what’s at stake here in Georgia. We also leave you with a bright spot to keep you going on this long road.

“Deep in the recesses of said purse is a bent and folded copy of the prayer of St. Francis of Assisi: Lord, make me an instrument of your peace: Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope.”

Excellent Kickoff Event for the Suzanna Karatassos HD120 Campaign. Great turnout on a chilly night with some great support from other area candidates and electeds including Rep Spencer Fry, @ruwaromman.bsky.social and @lexydoherty.bsky.social

Today I joined Housing Justice League at the Capitol to demand that the legislature take up bills my colleagues and I introduced to address the housing crisis and raise wages.

This is basically the NYC equivalent of big block of cheese day.

This administration will bomb and displace people then refuse to let them be reunited with loved ones. Make no mistake, their increasingly cruel and racist policies are a desperate attempt to distract from their disastrous economic policies. Voters aren't going to fall for it.

Atlanta, let’s end 2025 on a high note 💝 Join Team Ruwa for our Holiday Canvass this Saturday, 12/20, from 10 AM to 1 PM as we knock doors, connect with neighbors, and spread some Georgia cheer! RSVP: bit.ly/ruwaholiday

Chag Sameach to all celebrating Hanukkah. Although the first day was marked with tragedy in Australia, we must commit to finding light even in the darkest of days.

Muslims are around 1% of the population. The only 1% we should be worried about are the ones Tuberville and the right are selling us out to as they take over our homes, hospitals, and replace jobs with robots.
