So inspired by the Georgia organizers and concerned citizens who showed up today at City Hall to fight for the soul of Atlanta. You are the salt of the earth. #StopCopCity
It’s not hyperbole to say that the right of citizens to exercise political dissent is actively under attack in Georgia. I hope we’re paying attention. Injustice here is a threat to justice everywhere.

According to an ABC poll 56% of voters polled say Trump should face criminal charges for trying to overthrow the 2020 election. 18% of the same voters say they’d vote for Trump in a rematch against Biden. More evidence. Trumpism is a cult.

Jesus was a preacher and community organizer who was executed by an insecure imperial state and religious establishment that feared the power of his faith based peasant centered social movement. This is good friday.
