Northwest Georgia doesn’t need another celebrity politician. We’ve had one. She got headlines, not results. No bills to help families afford milk, gas, or healthcare — just noise. It’s time for leadership that actually works for the people.

This is what happens when you let a bunch of conspiracy-theory-addled brainworms run your government. Goddammit. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Josh Hammer offers up a really nice piece of sophistry demanding his preferred religion be forced down everyone's throat. Would Hammer defend Islam principles on display if a state or city wanted to? This is what we are up against. www.latimes.com/opinion/stor... @latimes.com

This is Boro. He went missing in southern Spain after a train derailment that killed 43 and injured 150. After four long days, he was captured by firefighters and has finally been reunited with his family. 14/10 welcome back buddy

Chaka Khan did it best but this is worth a listen .. youtu.be/06uKs8XND_o?...

This is Jazmine. She landed in a shelter with a broken hip after being hit by a car. Due to her extensive medical needs, she was set for euthanasia. Thanks to your support of our merch, @15outof10.org was able to cover her $8,200 medical care, and she has since been adopted ❤️‍🩹

Is there an appropriate Fox News conspiracy theory meme for how Jack Smith used Republican witnesses to prove the Orange King tried to stay in power illegally? abcnews.go.com/Politics/for... @sandycortez.bsky.social @whitehouse-47.bsky.social

This is Peanut. He decided to stay home from work today. Doesn't have a job, but is too exhausted to go even if he did have one. 12/10 (TT: peanut5025)

MAGA is a cult of victim hood that votes for drama & not competence. Nothing is more dramatic that threatening to charge a black man under the KKK Act on MLKjr day.

I've said for years that the simplest way to ensure commonsense gun control was for black people to walk around with AR-15s. White people would freak out and all of a sudden no one needs battlefield weapons.

I was just honored with my 500th follower. Thank you all!

This is sooooo true!!

No Face+No Name+No Badge+No Warrant=Trump's Secret Police. Trump's Secret Police are operating without legal precedent. History needs to document that Trump created America's Secret Police.

Republican Christians are pro-birth and not actually Pro Life Pro birth fight for tax cuts We need to redefine what Pro Life is and force everyone to care for living babies and adult humans.

This is Luna. She faked having a paw injury after her human hurt their leg. Figured they felt silly hopping around like that and thought it'd be less embarrassing if she did it too. 13/10 (IG: claassenam)

Disinformation rarely arrives as an obvious lie. It gets cleaned, repeated, and laundered through influencers until it feels like “common sense.” We need to track the pipeline, not just the final post. #DailyMindBrew #truthdecay youtu.be/eguT3fldZvk

Congrats to DJT for this honor @whitehouse-47.bsky.social

I think there is room for disagreement. For example, waffles are the perfect butter delivery vehicle. You can eat waffles by hand. Also, various sizes and textures of waffles keep them interesting.

Thank you for your attention to this matter open.substack.com/pub/fightthe...

Declaing an end to a war that didn't exist makes the Orange King even more of a peacemaker. I'm guessing he was inspired by bullying a brown woman into giving up her Nobel Peace Prize wegotthiscovered.com/news/white-h...

Sandy, perhaps you can exain how denying clean drinking water to Republican voters is America First and Pro Life? www.alternet.org/amp/trump-co... @sandycortez.bsky.social

MAGA is a cult of victimhood that votes for drama and not competence

Yes. The Orange King makes Andrew Jackson look like a kind & generous Einstein

This is so accurate. Please avoid hyperbole when discussing Trump's Secret Police abusing American citizens

👊🏻

Would Byron York apply this same theory to Ruby Ridge? You know, when a citizen said go away to federal law enforcement trying to apprehend a law breaker with a warrant Does York think only those he agrees with are exempt? www.washingtonexaminer.com/daily-memo/4... @washingtonexaminer.bsky.social

NASA is rolling out the massive rocket for its Artemis II mission today! The process will take hours, giving you plenty of time to get caught up on the mission's timeline here

This is Gamja. His ears are just a bit darker than the rest of his fur so people don't miss how perfectly floppy they are. 12/10 (IG: doazi_gamja)

This is an entertaining example of sophistry. The author complains that Darwin's theories don't explain purpose or metaphysical issues. That isn't the purpose of science. Finding purpose or explaining the metaphysical is the job of humans. www.theblaze.com/align/darwin...

The Bald Rasputin is the evil advisor of the Orange King So much for the Rule of Law

🔥🔥🔥 DO NOT BE DISTRACTED BY MADURO, IRAN NOR GREENLAND & STAY LOUD 🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥 DONALD TRUMP IS GOING DOWN 🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥 TRUMP & EPSTEIN ARE SEX TRAFFICKERS & I’m gonna post this every day so nobody forgets exactly who Pedophile Trump is and why the Epstein files have suddenly disappeared 🔥🔥🔥

Hard to argue with your position. Republican Christians are pro-birth and not actually Pro Life Pro birth fight for tax cuts Pro Life fight for health, safety and welfare

This racist shit weasel is Robert John Burke. May he rot in KKK hell for eternity

Perfect.
