#Handsoff Athens Georgia. Around 1000 people. Feeling stronger when together.

Athens GA Hands Off Demonstration. 1000 people, I’m sure.

Read the comments here to see the world surrounding us in blue Athens, GA. We live on two different planets. www.facebook.com/share/1BWDsA...

Proud of my Ga Senators. They are vulnerable, and they are standing their ground.

Jasmine Mooney is a Canadian citizen being detained by ICE. She was arrested at the San Ysidro border crossing between Mexico and San Diego — as she was trying to obtain a new visa. Jasmine was kept in a cold room at the border by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) before being arrested…

More protests here in Athens Ga on international women’s day.

Three days ago, Donald Trump openly threatened to kill all of ‘the people of Gaza’ and it wasn’t even a story. No consequences. The media, the world, just moved on.

For all you "Not Yet A Constitutional Crisis" people: The kid at Columbia with a green card currently in secret ICE detention for thoughtcrime is a four alarm fire.

I want a federal government who supports mid and low income folks. This one doesn’t. That simple.

The letter linked to in this article scares me. It’s what the Dept of Education just sent out to all colleges, tying the White House attack on any DEI efforts to federal funding. The letter could be used as a template to send out to anyone revived federal dollars.

Nice work, young lady, calling out GA Rep Mike Collins for never meeting with constituents. Posted in Athens GA Reddit.

Shocking, appalling, wrong.

This is absolutley crazy. i would think it’s a joke but now i know better. Asking all fed employees to list in 5 bullet points what they did last week. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

This is climate arson, yes, but also the entire value proposition of Tesla, the reason for its insane stock price, is that it would end up the Amazon of electric cars: the only real game in town. Killing off non-Tesla electric car infrastructure is a gift to Musk.

Protect this woman at all costs. Maine’s Governor Janet Mills tells “King” Trump that she’ll see him in court after he threatens her for not promising to comply with his EO that is only enforceable by genitalia inspections. 🔥 Freaking National Treasure

Great. 🤦🏻‍♀️

#50501 Not my President demonstration at City Hall in Athens Ga. About 250-300 people showed up for an event just organized Friday afternoon.

The part of being a county commissioner I like. Peacefully reading agenda reports and making notes.

Monday, Feb 17, noon, City Hall. Protest demonstration.

“Nobody knows who is in charge, though the leadership level of our parking garage is suddenly filled with Teslas.”

Many are asking: “What can I do now?” Here’s a revised and expanded list of actions you can take, in rough order of importance. https://robertreich.substack.com/p/more-on-what-you-can-do

Georgia gets almost $18 billion in federal funding each year. Athens gets a portion of that in dollars for social services, the police, the schools, and for roads and bridges, to name a few. Call our Governor Brian Kemp. (404) 656-1776 and share your outrage.

Imagine saying this about an agency that has helped millions of people around the world avoid malaria, obtain clean water, and gain access to food & health care. Especially when you’re the world’s richest man & your net worth is something like 20 times this agency’s annual budget. What a foul soul.

Think globally, act locally. My ACC District 8 newsletter went out Saturday morning. Here’s your chance to read it before Tuesday night’s voting meeting in City Hall. eepurl.com/i8WkqU

I ran @USAID health programs for the last 3 years. Trump’s 90 day Stop Work Order on foreign assistance does serious damage to the world and the US. Examples:🧵

Nothing to worry about, just a white nationalist serving as the head of public diplomacy at the State Department

A full house in City Hall in Athens GA. Public input makes a difference. About 50 people speaking in support of an LGTBQ resolution (passed 6-2) and the permanent road safety and road diet on Prince Avenue (passed unanimously), many speaking for both. One person spoke against the LGBTQ resolution.

In biking, walking, transit filled Montreal. Wondering why alternative transportation is embraced in some places as the norm and has such a hard time taking hold in other places like where I’m from in Athens, GA, where we are feeling push back. What is it culturally that makes the difference?
