Shout out to the woman at breakfast trying to explain to her father why it’s okay for him to be white and still acknowledge that racism and systemic abuse exists

WHY is there not a train from Atlanta to Albany?

My take-home message is that mainstream white America doesn’t think white supremacy makes him an awful person

It may very well be one of the great tragedies of my life that I’ve wasted some of my best rhetorical writing on Facebook idiots instead of publishing something useful.

Just remember, before you hit block, take a screenshot.

If the echo in my chamber is “bigotry is bad” or “we deserve to live in a society without white supremacy” or “all violence is bad, not just the visible kind” then bring it on.

LFG BULLS 💚🤘🏽💚🤘🏽💚🤘🏽

Sad Gators fans make me happy!

If the Bulls beat UF today, might mom might finally forgive me for picking USF over FSU. #GoBulls

If my husband let me sleep with my mouth open on a national broadcast, we would not recover. #GoBulls

If there’s one plus to entering another war, it will be the number of times policy experts have to say “bunker buster” completely stone-faced.

Announcing nuclear war on social media feels right at this point in our society.

Referred to myself as an Excel girly for my class discussion today so I’d say we’re starting off summer semester strong.

A very dumb bird built a nest in the planter on my front porch so I’ve now added keeping baby birds safe from the cat colony in my neighborhood to the unexpected anxieties of this summer. Anyone got tips?

It’s not a sexy topic, but I’m staying glued to my soapbox that until we change the way we generate education revenue, we will never be able to resolve the other challenges our schools are facing. Until we remediate the inherently disparate foundation, we’re just treating symptoms. #FundOurSchools

Human beings are so cool. Today I watched a guy squat and bench 405# within the same hour.

Sen. Tillis (R-N.C.) says he’s inclined to support the Grassley-Cantwell bill. Says he’s heard from constituents worried about the tariffs, esp farmers & restaurant/lodging sectors. Everyone in red states :: call your reps!!

Y'all should call your Georgia state Rep / Senator and ask them where's the budget... #gapol

If anything starts my villain arc, it will be Sine Die week in the GA General Assembly.

Georgia lawmakers are pushing a bill that could strip funding from schools for programs that make students feel welcome. “This could be a threat to school funding,” warns IDRA's @mikaylaarciaga.bsky.social “Schools are already trying to make ends meet.” www.wrdw.com/2025/04/02/t...

Given today’s events, I believe this motion is still in order.

Senate Dems have been fighting the good fight, but they are REALLY showing their gumption over the DEI bill and I am loving it!! Even if it means we'll be here at 1 AM... #gapol

If you’re looking for acts of resistance, the @gasenatedems.com are using every rule in the book to draw out the debate on #HB127, a bill which the majority party stripped and replaced with language to defund schools & universities with any programs for “DEI”. www.legis.ga.gov/video/senate

So who’s going to buy us another 24 hours of no BS in the Senate? 👀

moving forward I would like to see dems gum up the works every way possible. No unanimous consent, full votes on every tiny piece of business. I don't expect everyone to have the stamina to do a Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but many lengthy floor speeches. Just slow everything down to a crawl.

what booker is doing right now is an example of what i mean when i say things like “we need more ambition right now.” there is room in american politics right now for people with ambition to take big stands and reap the rewards. he’s doing it!

Congratulations to the Senator from the 14th! Senator McLaurin's (@joshforgeorgia.bsky.social) bill to regulate the booting industry moves on to the House for one final vote. #gapol

ATL mourning today over senseless layoffs at the CDC that do nothing but cripple our health and world leadership

ICYMI: #SB152, the foster parent (not kids) voucher expansion is up in #GaPol House Ed and coming down to the line. Seems the house is trying to clean up their mess around eligibility and the sponsor, Sen. Dolezal does not want since it would *chill* access. www.savannahnow.com/story/news/p...

The GA Senate is set to vote on HB 123 on Monday! If it passed, the House will vote on whether to adopt the Senate version and send it to the governor’s desk for signature into law. #gapol

I’d like to make a motion to dissolve the Georgia State Senate.

GOOD BILL PASSED: SB 170 from @kimforgeorgia.bsky.social requires the Department of Community Health to establish a grant program to fund rural hospitals in purchasing and installing backup generators to ensure continued operation during a state of emergency.

You know, being woken up at 5am to my cat puking on my pillow really should have been an indicator of how today was gonna go.

Don’t worry yall, I am comforted by the fact that the $$$ we could have used for educating kids in poverty can instead go to pay for all the lawsuits @aclu.org will bring against #HB127 the DEI Ban. #GaPol

#GaPol senators are really on a roll today. After stripping funding for kids in poverty from the budget, they just stripped ( #HB127) which would increase accumulated leave for teachers to replace it with a broad sweeping DEI Ban #SB120 which would defund schools and universities across the state.

ALSO Georgia has a $17 BILLION SURPLUS. Can we please stop pretending like we need to make cuts just to give folks a $250 check that barely covers groceries this week? I want fully funded schools. I want affordable housing. I want comprehensive healthcare. WE CAN DO BETTER. #GaPol

All respect to #GAPol Senate leaders, but student mental health is NOT a security issue and its funding isn’t interchangeable. Conflating mental health services with security measures will harm students and make schools LESS safe for kids, teachers, and communities. www.idra.org/education_po...

If you want to see what people care about, look to their wallets. #GAPol Senate is trying to cut $28mil for kids living in poverty and shifted $19.6mil for student mental health supports grants into… school security. But don’t worry, they’ve dumped $141mil into the untested, unvetted ESA #voucher.

I think this is the best one I’ve seen so far.

When they ask how the measles outbreak happened in Georgia, just know it started in this hallway. #GaPol #NoHB441

I honestly don’t know if folks are prepared to learn just how much governance takes place by group chat.

#GAPol House Ed passed #SB82 today. It’s a blatant attempt to override local control by forcing school systems to approve more charters. SB 82 would financially devastate districts for rejecting charter applications, but don’t worry, they get $250k* if they just say yes. *subj to appropriation

Most of us are much more likely to be on the plaintiff side than the defendant side of harm. #SB68 is bad for Georgians, but that’s why we’re #1 for business but not to live. #GaPol

Sitting in the hearing on #HB602 in House Higher Ed. The bill would deny funding from students for protesting on college campuses in a way that isn’t “convenient”. A member of the committee has already said that if we had this bill in the 60s, maybe things would have been less disruptive… #GAPol

Eight hearings tomorrow starting at 7 am. Two at the same time, also at the same time as senate floor debate which has three priority bills. It’s definitely crossover week. #GaPol

Despite reassurances, the Georgia Legislature has multiple bills expanding our three vouchers. This is what we warned about. They widened the door and are back for more. This is how they defund our schools. #SB152 is on the floor of the senate today. Ask your senator to vote No. #GAPol #EdPol
