We're re-posting this to let you know a few tickets remain. Your chance for a face-to-face brunch and visit with Georgia's next attorney general is this Saturday. secure.actblue.com/donate/dekal... @bentleyforus.bsky.social @tanyaforgeorgia.bsky.social

Love will always win. Happy Pride! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈☀️

One party, one goal. Georgia can and will be a place for all of us. This November, we have the chance to flip the seat of power and deliver on the needs of our neighbors. Friends, you ready? Join us!

The same companies that plunder our country for profits and refuse to pay working people their fair share weren’t satisfied with their ability to buy elections. Now, greedy corporations want to claim they have the same right to vote that real people died for.

Eid Mubarak to all celebrating Eid al-Adha! May we all take this moment of renewal and remember that the sacrifices made for one another are sacred. A community that loves one another is one that is stronger than any obstacle we may face.

Just voted for myself alongside the love of my life. Hope is alive and well in Georgia 🗳️🍑

We're proud to endorse @bentleyforus.bsky.social for Georgia State House District 90. From registering thousands of Georgians to vote to expanding health care access to fighting for LGBTQ+ rights, Bentley shows every day what real leadership looks like.

I’m excited to announce that I’ve qualified to represent Georgia’s 90th State House District. Life is more expensive and less safe than ever due to Republican chaos and a failure to lead. I believe that can and should do better. We deserve a Georgia for US. Join us: bit.ly/volunteerwith

The US and Israel bombed an Iranian elementary school for girls. We start gofundme pages to survive. They start wars and bomb children. The Epstein Class must go.

Somebody please get this man a wedge! 😂

Not sure who needs to hear this but the voter fraud rate is a mere 0.000003%. Anyone telling you otherwise is making shit up so they can take away your right to vote.

It's disappointing to see so many claim “crossover appeal” is the top quality for GA statewide candidates. Running to the perceived middle cost us all three federal branches of government.

Bentley Hudgins, state director of @hrcga.bsky.social, is speaking now about code section 16-12-102 which lists "homosexuality" among the restricted sexual conduct. "Is being homosexual itself obscene? ...The language in 102 would be enforced in 103. I ask that you amend that language."

“Visibility alone isn’t protection. Laws matter. Community matters. And we can’t afford to be complacent.” Read more at @lgbtqnation.com

Translation: 1.75M people and their families are going hungry.

The only true, permanent laws in our world are the Laws of Nature. Everything else was written by men in power who sought to wield government against people to maintain social order.

When ICE terrorizes our streets, NO COMMUNITY IS SAFE. We stand with Minneapolis.

Any rep - GOP or Dem - who votes for the DHS funding bill today, votes for more of this. Tell them you're watching their vote this afternoon: act.indivisible.org/sign/ice-out...

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

"Renee was one of the kindest people I’ve ever known. She was extremely compassionate. She’s taken care of people all her life. She was loving, forgiving and affectionate. She was an amazing human being.” — Donna Ganger, Renee's mother Renee Nicole Good should still be here today.

🚨BREAKING: More than two weeks past its statutory deadline, the DOJ has released less than 1% of its Epstein documents and it will continue to be in violation of the law for the foreseeable future. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

double engagement secured 😮‍💨💍

“Self-deport” is a whitewashed way to describe “fleeing the country under the threat of state violence.” I agree with Maria here — it’s important to call that exactly what it is.

Hollander being a Sperry’s wasian was peak 2010s

If the GOP wants to protect kids, the irreversible mutilation happening to kids is from the bullets shot into their bodies while they’re at school. Ending the gun violence epidemic will save lives. Using the government to bully trans kids does nothing but hurt more people.

Instead of protecting healthcare premiums from doubling for 22M Americans, the US House passed an extreme anti-trans bill that threatens 10 years of prison on parents and doctors for providing lifesaving, best practice care for .002% of all children in the US. The fight against cruelty isn’t over.

Some of you are watching Heated Rivalry for the steamy scenes. I am watching Heated Rivalry cause it feels cathartic to see amother bisexual downbad wasian meet his karmic debt white boy. We are not the same!!! 😆

@cwnewser.bsky.social said it best: “For LGBTQ+ advocates, the result offers more than symbolic vindication. It is a data point they argue cannot be ignored: in a district that once favored Trump by double digits, equality messaging did not just survive — it won.”

Georgia Republicans are using their last moments of power in the Public Service Commission to give massive clearance for data centers and higher energy bills. Guess whose dad wants to build 11 MILLION square feet of data centers in Middle Georgia? Burt Jones, who wants to be our Governor.

By electing @hrc.org endorsed Eric Gisler to represent State House District 121, Georgia voters sent a strong, resounding message that far-right cruelty and chaos are not welcome in our home.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today. The system is rigged.

Yeah, I’m not going to let people whose K Street gigabrain strategy lost us three branches of government convince me into conceding that working people of all lived experiences, including queer folks, don’t deserve to have a voice in the political process.

I find it incredibly striking that Marci Overstreet would choose to campaign alongside Mary Norwood, who infamously attempted to help Trump overturn Joe Biden’s victory after the 2020 election. www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

Y’all ready, Georgia? We may have No Kings, but we do have a pro-equality Senator to re-elect!

Republicans have shut down the federal government for nearly a month, decimated public health funding, suing to permanently undo the Voting Rights Act, advocating to bring back conversation therapy and are still using ICE as a paramilitary to snatch people from their homes and off the the sidewalks.

Amen

As SCOTUS begins hearing a case on bans regarding “conversion therapy” today, remember this - LGBTQ+ identity is a beautiful part of the human experience that doesn’t need to be “fixed.” Queer people, you are made of stardust and galaxies. You are infinitely wonderful and belong here 🫶🏼

Speaker Johnson is refusing to call Congress back into session because there is enough votes to force the release of the Epstein files. After all the screaming about “protecting women” from transgender people, the GOP has shut down the entire government to protect actual pedophiles.

Trey Reed and Corey Zukatis deserved lives of abundance, hope, and opportunity. May they rest in peace. Both cases demand a full investigation.

Some personal news: I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting. Thread incoming. substack.com/@karenattiah...

The South has got something to say! Over 100 people showed up to canvass in a special election runoff for Debra Shigley with @ossoff.bsky.social, @reproductivefreedomforall.org and our @hrc.org family! We can win this, y’all! Volunteer with us: mobilize.us/hrcga

The @wsj.com has not done nearly enough to repair the harm. Email them and demand better: HRC.im/wsj

A lot of y'all didn't decry "political violence" when Tortuguita was shot 14 times in cold blood by state troopers, but have a lot to say about someone whose assailant remains at large with an unknown motive. Why is it complicated when the victim is brown? Why is it so easy then the victim is white?

The U.S. government has become a neofascist regime run by a sociopath. Keeping it funded now is to participate in the most atrocious abuse of power in U.S. history. So I for one have decided that the best route is to shut the whole thing down.

A moment of silence for Donal-

So you mean JD VANCE went to PEACHTREE CITY to tell Georgians that crime has people hiding in their homes? They only crime happening in that city is white collar and not having a golf cart 🥴

Your leadership is feckless, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social. Resign and let someone who can see the imposition of military forces on our civilian streets and call it what it is. Pathetic.

We can thank Brian KKKemp and Georgia Republicans for their bills to allow anyone to have a gun anywhere they want. The GOP’s obsession with guns makes all of us less safe. www.11alive.com/article/news...

The man who helped pass Georgia’s abortion ban, suppress Black votes, undermine unions and working people, and attacked Georgia’s LGBTQ+ and immigrant communities wants to be a Democrat Governor? You MUST be joking 🤡

Mike Collins can’t even spell the name of the state he wants to represent in the US Senate. 🤭
