The emotional whiplash between Joe's withdrawal on Saturday, to realizing we're going to elect the 1st woman of color as our next President is probably closest you'll ever get to knowing what it feels like to make the jump to hyper-space. 🤯
We need to recognize who is driving innovation and moving this world forward does not look like our assumptions. Thanks @KellerRinaudo #gachAC2022

I am a faithful believer in God and religion. Both help us understand and navigate our lives. But unfounded accusations and overt politics - this is not Christian. I hope Christian Media is not claiming a non-profit status. They have crossed the line of church and state.
We’ve been making this argument for years. Nice to see more data supporting it.
Lifting Georgia's tobacco tax to the national average could generate up to $600 million in new revenue per year. Georgia will raise only $230 million in tobacco taxes in 2020 but will spend over $650 million in Medicaid costs caused by smoking. gbpi.org/georgia-cant-afford… #gapol
