Haven't talked about this a lot on here, but I've been outside knockin doors all year to support Kelsea Bond, who's running for Atlanta City Council District 2! They're a candidate who fights for working class folks in the city and helped organize Starbucks unions in across the Atlanta Metro. Their top issues are supporting affordable housing and building green mass #transit in #Atlanta!!

If this sounds like things you like, feel free to chip in to our campaign, or help us get out and canvas sometime. We don't take any corporate donations, so we're funded on grassroots supporters.

Like it’s hilarious watching the same folks in #GAPol waxing poetic about peaceful protestors who they ignore and politicize and even call domestic terrorists then run ads on those lies

Authoritarianism, coming to a town near you!

Via Greg Bluestein:

DALTON – In Donald #Trump’s era, even a whiff of moderation at the #Georgia GOP convention can be disqualifying.
That was the message at this weekend’s state convention, where Republican hopefuls competed to prove their MAGA credentials. #gapol https://ajc.com/politics/2025/06/at-georgia-gop-convention-trump-loyalty-is-price-of-admission/

Early voting is officially underway for the Georgia Public Service Commission primaries.

Why vote? The commission, in large part, determines whether Georgia’s power grid is prepared for extreme weather events and whether the state moves toward cleaner energy sources.

The primary elections for Georgia Public Service Commission Districts 2 and 3 are set for June 17. While a commissioner must live in the geographic district they represent, all five are elected by voters statewide. They, in large part, determine how the state tackles the threats posed by climate change.
