Rest in power, Claudette Colvin. ♥️ A hero, a change maker, and an icon. I’m so sorry more people didn’t learn about your story in their grade school classes. May your light guide us as we continue to fight oppression in all its forms.

I’m enrolled in Georgia Access — Georgia’s marketplace. Not only is my premium going up 39%, my out of pocket maximum is rising from $9,200 to $10,450. 🏥 If only Republican elected officials would prioritize healthcare reform instead of culture wars & kidnapping people off the streets.

There are a lot of rumors of ICE escalation in the Atlanta area this week. While we can’t verify any, we know folks are scared and it’s ALWAYS a good idea to be prepared! GLAHR is one of Georgia’s strongest immigrant advocacy organizations. Take a minute to put their hotline number in your phone.

The GOP tax cut and spending bill passed by the Senate this week is expected to add trillions of dollars to the federal debt over the next decade. The savings would mostly go to top earners.

Let this sink in. Even the Los Angeles Police Chief, Jim McDonnell, made it clear: the people protesting immigration raids were not the ones causing violence. During a Sunday evening press conference, McDonnell condemned the violence as “disgusting”

DOGE keeps cutting agencies and funding and personnel, but no one I know has saved a dime on taxes. It’s almost like they are stripping the public good of resources to send that money to the oligarchs in tax cuts…

This is what happens when dictator wannabes work with dictators. If you think you’re safe just because “you’re a citizen”, you’re not. They are disappearing people off the streets. This administration is evil.

THIS. As a Political Communicator, this is 1000% the truth. Storytelling is human. It’s emotional. It’s personal and it moves people to join movements.
