The effort to eliminate the income tax without admitting what taxes will increase is a perfect storm to bankrupt the state www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Yes I’ve heard about senate democrats, no I’m not happy about it. In other news this is dope and I’m begging the Blanks to name the team something tangible because team names as ideas bum me out www.ajc.com/sports/2025/...

Found out late last night that I lost my race for school board. Below are some thoughts on what I learned and will take away from this campaign. First, I’m so thankful for my wife who shouldered even more of the house and childcare work so that I could be out canvassing or at talks, etc.

Really appreciate this nuanced thinking of school choice in New Jersey here. Allowing more students to transfer between districts can help alleviate segregation, but leaders have to keep equity at the center of any expansion.

People have asked how they could help in the lead up to the election and the answer is: please join me in doing what you can to make sure our neighbors don’t go hungry

I have to say this is special to me. At my job I've been lucky to work for talented Black women attorneys who advance racial equity and shown me how I can better listen to the needs of communities as we put forward a vision of public education that refuses to believe that separate will ever be equal

You're a billionaire who wants to improve education? Pay taxes, spend advocating for decoupling public ed from property taxes, and give lots of money to make sure that children aren't hungry. You'll do a lot more good than founding another scam school trying to union bust.

Oh they’re trying to turn the school-to-prison pipeline into a river

My hot take is that safeties should be worth much more than 2 points

i've never done cocaine but I've solved minute cryptic four days in a row without hints so i can imagine the high and i get why it's illegal because i'm confident i've ascended to a different plane of existence

I wanna tell y'all about a city that has been on my mind for a minute: Remerton, GA. Remerton is in south Georgia and has been a city since 2000, It has a current population of around 1,300 people. Remerton is fascinating to me because it shows just how ridiculous school district lines can be.

The haters said I couldn’t release a high quality ad that starts with my face taking up the whole frame

Someone asked what I would do about the whitewashing of American history if elected. This video is my response. Go vote y’all

Early voting starts today so if you could just vote for me and the democrats for PSC that’d be great

I stopped watching after the first drive last night, I assume Auburn scored a lot more touchdowns after that?

Neat. “Dr. Owens will be my pick for my School Board representation because we need a wonk. This man has worked on budgets from a policy standpoint for his career, and I’m ready to have someone who seems to know at least more than me sitting on that board.” peachpundit.com/1-to-do-busi...

Atlanta. That second T is there just for show, folks

I got this text last night after a school board candidate debate and it’s the raddest thing. What an honor to earn someone’s trust, if even just for a vote

Georgia’s 2026 ACA marketplace window shopping began October 1, meaning people are already seeing next year’s premiums spike because of expiring tax credit enhancements. A typical 60-year-old couple making $85,000 in Georgia will face a $24,900 increase in annual premiums. (1/4)

Had some folks ask me how I will hold myself accountable to the people if I am elected to the school board. I have my own ideas (commitment to regular in-person listening sessions, etc.) but would love to hear what pragmatic ways y'all have seen local politicians can be grounded

Good for Cash Jones cause it’s not his fault Mike Bobo crowned him as Mr. Forth Down against Bama

Put me firmly in the “yes APS has a lot of money but the needs of our students are enormous” camp. If you wanna help hold our school board accountable to supplying all students with what they need, sign up to help canvass here: linktr.ee/owensforaps?...

Imma be so mad when USA loses 0-2 to TBD

the way that I almost spit out my drink. It's a way to report lost dogs, people. I'm still not happy with the over-surveillance of Atlanta but in this instance we're the big brother to dogs, so it's a cute type of overreach.

I was honored to spend Friday afternoon playing bingo with the people in Abernathy Towers (elder care facility) as a part of my campaign. When I was getting ready I asked the property manager what prizes I should get and she told me that everyone needs basic necessities like soap and deodorant.

Good summary by AJC here of a candidate that has no path in the Republican primary to unseating a popular incumbent.

For how good Georgia looks we’re actually losing

But I don’t WANT to rely on halftime adjustments

A running game you say?

“Atlanta’s full” get real

GOP lawmakers cite Georgia’s experiment as a model for the federal Medicaid work requirements set to take effect in 2027. A new report by a government spending watchdog found that the nation’s only Medicaid work requirement program spent twice as much on administrative costs as on health care.

This research has helped fit another piece in my mind on the puzzle that is chronic absenteeism. Specifically this part: having easy access to make up work is not the same as having easy make up work. Confusing the two can lead a lot more parents into thinking there’s less value in being in school.

Conservatives when you accidentally cut child poverty in half

Easy now, TikTok algorithm. I’m here for Jordan Davis and Jalen Carter love. Slow down on that non-UGA Eagles stuff.

What’s wild is that I’ve chosen to watch this. I can turn it off at any time

I can’t explain it but Penix has the body language like he’s a varsity star who is being coached by the JV assistant coach

🧵 Misconception: Family wealth is the primary driver of opportunity gaps. Reality: Concentrated school poverty matters MORE than individual poverty.

I’ve decided that of all the reaction shots this is My Guy. This is your dad’s friend who buys you a drink when he sees you in Knoxville. Always good for a dirty joke. He refs high school ball. He’s disappointed, sure, more than you could know. But you’re just a kid. Chin up, we’ll need you in OT.

Does anyone know why there appears to be a worm apocalypse on the sidewalks in Southwest Atlanta?
