We are the millions who rely on each other. We are the new way forward. #gapol #abolishice

Fascism always fails, but it drags the innocent down with it. We are one year into this four-year regime, and things are only spiraling. Stop pretending it won’t get worse. We must prepare our communities now for the violence they’ll bring as they lose their grip on power.

Grok's "edit" tool is being used to strip women of their clothes without consent. Unregulated chatbots are trapping users in "Al Psychosis", delusion loops that validate paranoia instead of challenging it. We need a regulations that protects our minds and our bodies. #gapol

"Clearly, this is a bad deal for customers in both the near-term and the long-term," Maggie Shober, research director at the Southern Alliance for Clean Energy, wrote about Georgia Power's plan.

Protesters disrupted a lame duck session of the Georgia Public Service Commission on Wednesday, demanding that commissioners not vote on a $20 billion spending plan presented by Georgia Power, which critics say could lock customers into paying higher costs for decades. Video credit: Zak Kerr

Folks, election day is TOMORROW Tuesday, Nov. 4! 🙌🗳️🍑 I am so proud of the race we’ve run, the broad progressive labor coalition we’ve built, and the countless hours we’ve spent speaking with voters in District 2. It’s clear Atlanta is ready for something new!

You can make any policy sound nice by using buzzwords like “affordable housing” and “equity”. But you need to look at the numbers and ask if these projects are actually delivering what they claim. TADs haven’t delivered for Atlantans who need affordable housing most!

👋Meet Kelsea Bond at Social Space!🌀 Meet your next District 2 Council Member Sunday Sept. 21 1-3 PM at Social Space, on the Beltline! 🌱✨ Elections are 8 weeks away, Nov. 4! This is your chance to ask questions, get involved, or tell Kelsea what’s on your mind!

It's undeniable: The Laken Riley Act violates immigrants' constitutional rights.

Had an amazing time at @ydga.bsky.social convention. Got time to connect with the Latino caucus, @sanchez4georgia.bsky.social, @atldemsoc.bsky.social about democratic socialism. Georgia is building the next generation multicultural working class coalition. Join us. ✊🏽 #gapol #dsa #wfp

Georgia, hear me loud: federal law backs our oversight. As your future Rep, I will inspect every DHS detention site in this state, without tip-offs or runarounds. #GA05 #AbolishICE #HumanRights #Oversight

For the first time in my life, I’m carrying my citizenship papers everywhere I go. Born here. Raised here. Yet targeted because I’m Latino. This is the America the Supreme Court has allowed to exist.

@ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov let me know when y’all ready to discuss repeal! As the dems who voted for this. You have a duty to make it right! Come back to us please!

They were gas lighting her into thinking they didn’t call her but everyone hear it. The people had our back and supported us. We could all sense the injustice. We thank all those brave enough to back us, we came alone but left in solidarity.

We were lucky enough to get our name called for a question. Once the realized who it was they tried to deny my wife her chance to ask a question. Someone even got the police behind her to intimidate her.

Last stop but certainly not least. The celebration of our good friends @aaronbaker.bsky.social wedding!

We have to build a new future, one where working people can’t be ignored, and where corruption can’t drag us back here again. Our fight is to lay down that foundation, one that lifts the working class, breaks the grip of corruption, and ensures we never end up here again.

I watch Hamilton a lot. It reminds me of today. They faced impossible odds but still built something new, something different. The Trump regime will collapse. That much is certain. But collapse alone doesn’t create a future. That’s up to us.

I’m proud to be running to become the first Democratic Socialist on Atlanta City Council. We deserve a city that works for working people — not just corporations and the top 1%! 🌹 Read my interview with Jacobin! 👇

From coast to coast, Democratic Socialists are running to fight Trump’s authoritarianism, defend our immigrant & trans neighbors, and organize to win affordable cities that work for the 99% — not just the billionaires. If you’re in D.C., donate & volunteer for Aparna! A better world is possible 🌹

We join @indivisiblegaco.bsky.social in calling for the immediate release of Rodney Taylor, a disabled man who is being wrongly held and abused in ICE detention. Sign the petition. 👇

As billionaires and their cronies in the administration and law enforcement continue to wage war on working people, this Labor Day, we will continue to stand strong for shared prosperity over corporate politics. Join us Monday, Sept. 1 at Woodruff Park for our Labor Day rally ❤️

History doesn’t just repeat, it gets streamlined. Volkswagen thrived under Hitler. Apple courted Trump. Corporations will always choose fascism over freedom if it protects their profits. They don’t serve the people. They serve power.

@trackaipac.bsky.social Let me know how I can apply for a endorsement! I'm running against AIPAC candidate @repnikema.bsky.social for Georgia's 5th Congressional District! We’re bringing the fight for civil rights back home to #Atlanta, where it belongs. #gapol

Busy weekends? 👀 You’re in luck! Starting next week we’re launching 🌞 WEEKDAY CANVASSING! 🌞 Join us to knock doors in district 2 Mondays-Thursday starting 5:30 PM. No experience needed, just bring comfortable shoes and a charged phone. RSVP at the link in our bio or kelseabond.com/weeknight

My absolute favorite part of being on the campaign trail is talking to my neighbors. It’s going to take all of us to tackle the hard issues that our city faces — whether it’s housing, affordability, or making sure Atlanta takes care of our seniors residents.

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! 🎈🎂✨ (Almost) Please join me to celebrate my birthday Friday, August 1st at one of my favorite places in Atlanta, the Supermarketl! 🧡💚🌟 ⏰ WHEN: Friday 8/1 @ 7:30 PM 🗺️ WHERE: The Supermarket | 638 N. Highland Ave 🔗 RSVP: Kelseabond.com/happybirthday

INBOX: I'm looking at campaign finance disclosures for Atlanta municipal elections filed last week. It appears NIMBYs have coalesced around Courtney Smith as their preferred candidate for the open District 2 race, which covers the neighborhoods where the Streetcar East extension would have served.

🎉We’ve raised $117k from 1,400+ unique donors!🎉 Atlanta, I am so grateful for all the support, hard work, & contributions you’ve given us since our campaign launched in January. These numbers are unprecedented for a grassroots campaign like ours, raising funds solely from working people like you 💚

🚨Endorsement Alert!🚨 I’m honored to receive the endorsement of State Senator Nan Orrock, one of the strongest progressive voices in the State Senate. She’s been a champion for Atlanta’s neighborhoods with an unimpeachable record fighting for maternal healthcare, environmental protections, and more.

Hakeem Jeffries is so skilled at being a disappointment. The worst opposition leader possible. I am so sick of rank careerism and incompetence.

Atlanta #dsa is packed today. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social win changed everything. Seeing @kelseabondatl.bsky.social and @sanchez4georgia.bsky.social talk about how @atldemsoc.bsky.social is changing politics in #atlanta #gapol is inspiring. ✊🏼🌹

Kicking off #caturday with Iggy. Rest up this weekend if you can. There is a lot of work to do and we need each now more than ever 🫶🏼

Too hyped to sleep 😅 Watching @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social win has me pacing around like it’s election night already. The path to victory is real!

INBOX: Atlanta City Council District 2 candidate @kelseabondatl.bsky.social just landed a coveted endorsement from Georgia State Sen. Nan Orrock, previously the first woman to ever hold Majority Whip in the State House. Bond is vying to be the first democratic socialist on City Council.

We have a madman in the White House who is actively trying to trigger total war. If Jeffries, Schumer, or any other Democratic leaders try to justify this, shrug indifferently, or write a strongly-worded letter and call it a day, they need to step down or be aggressively primaried.

Big thanks to the Fayette Democratic Women for having me speak today. The room was full of energy—and full of folks ready to fight for something better. Let’s build this together. #GA05 #WorkingClassPower #PeopleOverProfits #gapol

Georgia can’t lead on civil rights while criminalizing the poor. @warnock.senate.gov and @ossoff.senate.gov supported the a bill that fuels racial profiling & ICE raids on our unhoused neighbors. We’re calling on them to undo the harm. ✍️ Sign the petition: resist.bot/petitions/PV... #abolishice

Election Day in Georgia! Don’t forget to go GOAT! #gapol

Kelsea’s stood with us in the fight for working immigrant families. Something new is rising in Atlanta. We’re coming.

Today we stand in solidarity. Tomorrow, we organize. Stop business as usual. Start building power.

I've come to this the hard way: nobody's coming to save us. If we want a future rooted in dignity, fairness, and freedom, we've got to build it - together. Let's save ourselves. Community is the answer.

Police attacked an anti-ICE protest in Atlanta tonight. People have been arrested and as always we are committed to helping them get out of jail. Please contribute at atlsolidarity.org to help us continue our work.

I’m running for Congress because the working class is done waiting. We are rising and we’re coming for what’s ours. Get ready to vote. Bring your people. Bring your grit. We are going to change everything. El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido. #gapol #atlanta #freedavidhuerta

Had a great time with @50501ga.bsky.social and the NAACP for hosting this powerful conversation. I was honored to join as a guest panelist for the Round Table on Why Our Voices Matter building movements that center the people is the path to real change. The #GA05 is coming for what’s ours. #gapol
