It’s Election Day in Georgia-partisan primaries and nonpartisan general elections (including judges) take place across the state. Polls are open from 7am to 7pm. Voters must go to their assigned precinct to cast their ballot-find yours here: mvp.sos.ga.gov

Adding here that some counties are offering Sunday voting tomorrow, Mother’s Day, but not all counties-so you definitely need to check your own home county’s polling hours at www.mvp.sos.ga.gov

Hey Georgia voters-today’s the last weekend voting day available to you. It’s not just a primary on your ballot-every judicial race, including 2 contested state Supreme Court seats, is a general election. Find your closest early voting location at www.mvp.sos.ga.gov

Dog experiences the beach for the first time . 😍

A handful of law students are rowdy when a federal official visits: THIS IS AN EXISTENTIAL THREAT TO ACADEMIC DISCOURSE REPORT THEM TO THE BAR Entire state universities ban fields of study and classroom learning as unlawful and prohibited: 🦗

I watched Eastman, in real time, testify to the Georgia General Assembly that it was their *duty* to overturn my vote in 2020. He lied about evidence. He misled his client about the law. Law profs who back wannabe coup leaders and authoritarians should retire because what’s the point of law at all?

Do you know how EXTREMELY FUCKED UP SHIT HAS TO BE for me to be reposting Tucker Carlson positively???

This is a comprehensive summary of what’s at stake in tomorrow’s hearing re: the deficient government warrant to seize Fulton County election materials.

Thrilled to see independent journalism expand in this time of contraction.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

So may reasons to support proportional representation-the fact that the Voting Rights Act is on life support is a top concern, but so are reducing extremism, lowering entry for third parties, etc.

You still have 5 hours to vote in the Georgia State Senate District 18 runoff TODAY. Get out and Vote! You can confirm your polling place going to @GaSecofState Raffensperger’s My Voter Page mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/. Remember to bring your Photo ID.

This this this. This is why Fulton County has been at the center of the maelstrom of conspiracy theories. This is why the GOP rep on the State Election Board spoke of “election predators” when she was first appointed. They never hide their bigotry.

Limiting who can vote to the “right” people means you are losing and you know it. They are desperate-and will try to do desperate things. State governments and election officials have to be ready to protect every eligible voter and every ballot cast.

A conservative researcher — who was once described in a court filing as “a goddamned fraud” and “a known fabricator” — may have fueled the recent seizure of 2020 voting records in Fulton County, Georgia. New from @dougbockclark.bsky.social www.propublica.org/article/kevi...

At this point, I don’t really understand why we women haven’t just burned the whole world down

The U.S. as mafia state, exhibit 183631.

Fulton count search warrant that was executed today.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Senate Dems needn’t come to agreement on everything right now. That’s a path to the lowest common denominator. They simply have to agree to filibuster DHS approps. As to which of a host of anti-brutality and anti-authoritarian proposals to advance, let a thousand flowers bloom.

I wonder what the gun rights movement will have to say about this 🦗🦗🦗

I deal with election deniers every day, and I am convinced that this is the animating spirit there as well. It is impossible that a majority of voters oppose this regime and therefore the election must have been rigged, and votes against the regime are facially invalid.

In case anyone wonders what “pick-me” energy looks like (ref. This week’s GA State Election Board meeting), it looks just like this.

Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

In case you aren’t sure why partisanship matters in these more obscure positions, the gerrymandered state legislature in NC moved oversight of the state election board from governor to the state auditor, solely because the auditor was the *only* statewide Republican in office. *Every* race counts.

“[JD Vance] said there's absolute immunity. This is not true… maybe he's deliberately lying, maybe he just doesn't know. I figured a Yale-trained lawyer would know.” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison tells Prem why there is no 'absolute immunity' for ICE agents. 🔗: zeteo.com/p/keith-elli...

Another thing about the Boston Massacre is John Adams' famous defense was less about right to counsel, which wasn't in question, and more demonstrating British troops could and should face fair trials w/ local courts and juries. Thus the Declaration's grievance about when they stopped allowing that.

Masked government agents are killing people in the streets, abducting people from their homes in the middle of the night, and arresting those who speak out. If this were happening in another country, what would you call it?

White supremacists successfully rewrote history after the Civil War, so much so that today people deny what the slave states had proudly proclaimed back then: it was about slavery. And now this group is rewriting history today. They are lying. They are liars. They are liars.

1/ In 2022, one year after Trump incited the seditious attack on the US Capitol, I posted a long thread of images on Twitter, because revisionist attempts to create a false narrative about that day were already well underway. Today, in 2025, I’m re-creating/re-posting that same thread here.👇

Samuel Alito flew two flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the January 6th plot. It's a stain on our nation that this has effectively been forgotten.

Trump wants his supporters to know he’s got their back when they commit election crimes.

All of this is fundamentally future oriented. He’d be happy to let these folks rot otherwise. That he’s prioritizing this stuff now tells us that he wants, expects, and needs people to do more crimes for him during the next election.

What a juxtaposition the algorithm in the bad place fed me….

This post is full of lies. How do I know? I’m a member of the GA State Election Board. First lie-hundreds of thousands of votes were double counted. No such thing happened at these levels. Instead, election staff failed to sign copies of poll tapes after tabulating early votes-a rule violation.

This post is filled with lies. Straight up. I’m GMT+2 atm but will explain all the lies in the morning.

This Yglesias piece in the NYT is horrifically bad. Almost every "fact" it cites is provably false. At best it is cocktail party banter from a pundit who knows nothing of energy. At worst, it was cut/paste from oil industry talking points. So, a rebuttal: www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/o...

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

I hereby declare that my home and the surrounding property shall be known as the Free State of Ghazalia. Same energy, same legal effect.

This is third world, dear leader, “shithole-country” kind of stuff here. This has been a more rapid descent than even I predicted.

Undocumented immigrants paid $89.8B in taxes & hold $299B in spending power. They’re 5% of the U.S. workforce — not eligible for most benefits, but still contribute more than they get. We’re building www.PAXIS.app to protect them: gofundme.com/f/PAXIS

I'm not exaggerating when I say following @boltsmag.org rn will unlock money for our journalism. A generous reader, @russ41.bsky.social, has offered to donate $1 for every 1-person increase to our follower count. If you're not following @boltsmag.org yet, it'll directly help fund our reporting!

My friend former state house Rep Mary Robichaux (www.maryforroswell.com) is in a runoff for mayor of Roswell. If you’re in the city, please go out and vote on Tuesday!

Everyone stop acting weird and shocked about MTG. She has been systematically distancing herself from the current GOP for months and months. She has a plan reform herself under a new image ON THE RIGHT that’s not part of a sinking ship. She’s not suddenly changing her tune! SHE’S AN OPPORTUNIST

also we now have a “whites only” refugee policy. they aren’t trying to hide the white supremacy anymore. it’s overt and mainstream.

So let me get this straight: The President’s plan to lower prices is to roll back some of his own tariffs?

Good statement from the US conference of Catholic Bishops

“This is replicable. [Mamdani’s] whole campaign was not just anti fascist, but the antithesis of fascism.” @naomiaklein.bsky.social tells @mehdirhasan.bsky.social why she was an early supporter of Mamdani, who just made history as the first-ever Muslim mayor of New York.

Here’s what many folks can’t tell you today because the NY Times and the Associated Press didn’t even cover our election results last night: 22 counties that voted for Donald Trump in 2024 just voted for Alicia Johnson last night.

Last night’s story in Georgia is a story about voters reclaiming our power. GYJC knocked on 132,491 doors to educate folks on the Public Service Commission race. In Fayette, Houston, & Paulding County–communities long written off as unwinnable–GYJC showed up and changed what’s possible in Georgia.
