They don’t care about alternatives to this site, they want us scattered across the multiverse of social platforms and to break up the community etc we’ve built.

Ok so like … lmao you must not be understanding that I’m just yapping about communications strategy because I’m a journalist and I work in communications??? I didn’t say anything was wrong with her being there … in fact my original tweet says the opposite. What’s the issue?
Everyone knows that @KeishaBottoms graduated from FAMU! It's on the clothing, in the bio, everywhere. It's FAMU not famu. It's 3/4 alumni chapters here! None of this is new information. Maybe to you and that's ok; but we not downplaying any of this when she was literally just out in Ga with several Rattlers. We know the opps talk, but it doesn't help when people come in and add to it

Believe it or not, I am aware of the fact that most people won't read a 16,000 word article about an actual blood-and-bullets war over water in the Rio Grande. So we made a 30-minute film. The filmmakers at TM Studios did an incredible job: youtube.com/watch?v=PBaMGnxt…

Rick Jackson may think this but most of us in Atlanta support Keisha by a mile over Rick Jackson.
Replying to @SethTaylor1991
I’m a GA voter, and the only commercial that sticks with me is the one where they say Keisha Lance Bottoms ran away from being mayor because she couldn’t do the job, and how bad mayors don’t make good governors

And if we are honest folk don’t understand the influence that DFA has at that moment, in the national white progressive spaces, so we don’t know what happens to her without that endorsement. Folk can speculate all they want but I’m saying what’s factual.

this is bullshit. learn more about the scam amendments destin hall and the other republican losers put on our ballots in nc here: fundthefuturenc.org
Too many local governments treat your home like an ATM, and NC Democrats want to keep it that way. House Republicans put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to stop them.   This November, you can send a clear message and END out-of-control property taxes.

The vitriol coming from the federal government against our Somali neighbors is deplorable and now, egregious overreach targeting our beloved Congresswoman. I am beyond disgusted, but one thing about CD5, we don't back down and we protect each other. Artwork by @SeanLimMN

Logged on Twitter just to come show support for Rep. Omar. Do not normalize or accept what is happening today.
I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Y'all really just need to run commercials and targeted digital ads about Jackson and other Republicans dodging people. This is a Callais & Wealthy Elites trying to buy the election cycle. The unprecedented billionaire spending and disinvestment demand creative responses.
Rick Jackson’s refusing to debate in Macon today. Instead, he’s at a closed-door insider Republican fundraiser.  Guess that’s why Slick Rick’s too busy to answer real questions from Macon residents about his record of rigging the system against Middle Georgia. 🤔

They can’t make American imperialism function without a class of well-paid Black people who side with the white supremacist agenda WAY more than they’ll ever admit

The Mayor’s Office has repeatedly asked me to stop comparing Atlanta to NYC but like??? There are things we could be doing that are so simple, NOT preempted by the state, completely within our powers. Atlanta deserves good things too!
Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat? We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film. When it comes to climate change, we're using every tool at our disposal — including everyday infrastructure — to keep New Yorkers safe.

Families lost weeks of food they couldn’t afford to replace. Then their SNAP claims were denied. As the city of Gary recovers from a devastating power outage, advocates say Indiana has a simple fix at its fingertips that could get parents the help they need. 19thnews.org/2026/09/gary-in…
