This is a real sentence in the Atlantic.

This is exactly what we warned @warnock.senate.gov and @ossoff.senate.gov about when they voted for the Laken Riley Act. ICE is taking unhoused people, too poor to carry documents—off the streets to fill quotas. This was the most painful vote by Democrats. A human rights disaster.

Had a great time marching in the Juneteenth parade in Atlanta yesterday. My legs are tired but my spirit is high. Let’s keep going Georgia! We got work to do.

Mexican artists made anti-fascist posters during WWII to show our people stood with the working class against tyranny. We’ve been in this fight before. We’ll win it again, together. #AbolishICE #Solidarity #Antifascista #democrat

Protesting is a movement of attrition. Summer is on our side, their war gear wasn’t built for this. Keep showing up. Keep wearing them down.

Kelsea’s stood with us in the fight for working immigrant families. Something new is rising in Atlanta. We’re coming.

Dekalb County arrested three protesters for refusing to remove masks and a clearly marked member of the press. According to a comrade, ICE is otg at the Tucker protest. #NoKings #Gastapo

Found the rowdy protest. Chamblee Tucker road.

This is on Trump. This is on the GOP. This is on a political class that plays games while working people suffer.

Just following orders” was already tried after WWII. It didn’t stop justice then, and it won’t now. Your uniform is not a shield. Your mask can’t hide your crimes forever. We see you and history will too. #abolishice

Today we stand in solidarity. Tomorrow, we organize. Stop business as usual. Start building power.

Picking radishes is no easy task. Efrén spends 8-10 hrs/day on his knees, picking and sorting the radishes into small bunches to fill dozens of crates a day in CA's Ventura County. He's proud to have worked in America's fields for 49 years. #WeFeedYou

It is actually nuts that even when the NYC political establishment was presented with a broad field of talented candidates w/ many ideas, in a time of generational change & anti-corruption, they STILL chose to line up behind scandal-ridden Andrew Cuomo. It’s cowardice.

If you are at @renderatl.com this week come say hi! I’ll be giving talk on how I used engineering principles to run for office! Data driven open source campaigns are the future. Let’s build it together.

Sitting US Senator Alex Padilla forcibly wrestled to the ground and arrested by the FBI for attempting to ask a question of DHS secretary Kristin Noem.

Free him now.

Through an open records request, the Atlanta Community Press Collective obtained a list of City of Atlanta-owned surveillance cameras and automated license plate readers. Geographer Taylor Shelton mapped the locations of those cameras, showing which neighborhoods are most heavily surveilled.

NEW DFP Insight: As Congressional Republicans weigh eliminating funding for the Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office, a majority of voters (61%) believe that the DOE should continue providing government-backed loans to invest in new clean energy technologies.

Police attacked an anti-ICE protest in Atlanta tonight. People have been arrested and as always we are committed to helping them get out of jail. Please contribute at atlsolidarity.org to help us continue our work.

I've come to this the hard way: nobody's coming to save us. If we want a future rooted in dignity, fairness, and freedom, we've got to build it - together. Let's save ourselves. Community is the answer.

For folks wondering why you’re seeing 🇲🇽 flags: we stand with our allies. If the LA freedom protest were near 🇨🇦 Canada, we’d be waving theirs too. 🇺🇸 and its allies, friends, and family will never give in to fascism.

I’m honored and even more grateful for the support from our community. When we back our own, we build real power and drive the change we need. This campaign is about all of us: working families, neighbors, and everyday people who are too often overlooked. Let’s do this. #gapol #atlanta

I’m running for Congress because the working class is done waiting. We are rising and we’re coming for what’s ours. Get ready to vote. Bring your people. Bring your grit. We are going to change everything. El pueblo unido, jamás será vencido. #gapol #atlanta #freedavidhuerta

We’ve been here before. Let’s make sure we stop it this time. In 1954, the U.S. government tore 1.3 million people from their homes and communities under “Operation Wetback.” History repeats when we let fear and hate drive policy. Now’s the time to fight for dignity, for every working family.

Had a great time with @50501ga.bsky.social and the NAACP for hosting this powerful conversation. I was honored to join as a guest panelist for the Round Table on Why Our Voices Matter building movements that center the people is the path to real change. The #GA05 is coming for what’s ours. #gapol

Big thanks to @lawrencedlockhart.bsky.social and Code Connector for the RenderATL ticket. Grateful for the community work you do making opportunities like this accessible. Working class voices need to be in these rooms too. Appreciate y’all for opening the door.

Why do Trump & his most fervent tech billionaire backers want to take land & create privately controlled zones? Billed as innovation, "it’s really about escape — a billionaire bunker system to opt out of democracy & public accountability,” @gilduran.com writes. www.techpolicy.press/trumps-gaza-...

🚨 Next Gen Politics ENDORSES us for GA-5! We’re fighting for: ✅ Medicare for All ✅ A 40-hour week that’s enough ✅ Affordable Housing This is the kind of leadership working families deserve. And it’s why our campaign refuses corporate money — we answer to the people. #gapol

I don’t want them to deport Elon. I want him in an American courtroom, facing every worker he fired. Maybe it’s time oligarchs learn what accountability looks like for once.

This sounds like a scandal in the making.

Trump is about to unleash Enron-level devastation on Tesla now that they’re fighting. My bet? The DOGE scam will come to light and Trump will throw Elon and Tesla under the bus.

Great night at the Fulton County Immigration rights forum here in Atlanta. Thanks to the @redclaydems.bsky.social for helping host the event. Lots of people are ready for leadership who shows up. Who isn’t afraid to stand up to the establishment. The working class is coming for what’s ours.
