@MariahforAthens Ptsd and the hyper vigilance that can come with it are exhausting. Can make you feel like you don’t know up from down. Get grounded as best you can and rest. You are loved and your are held.
broke: bill cosby saying he’ll never express remorse means we should keep him in prison forever
woke: bill cosby saying he’ll never express remorse is evidence that prison does not work
Honestly, the fact that anyone would respond to this election by asking, “how can we make more appeals to people who voted for Trump?” and not “How do we invest more in BIPOC organizing & appealing to the poor & people who didn’t vote at all?” is about being invested in whiteness
The past 48 hrs has been folks trying unsuccessfully to scapegoat Black voters for a close election while denying that the 2020 results lay bare the realities of white America’s racism even more than 2016 🙂
Governor Kemp announced recently that the second round of stimulus funding expected by local governments will not be arriving.
In Athens, this lost funding amounts to almost $15.5 million.

Folks keep confusing the need for security and public safety with the need for police forces while refusing to acknowledge all the ways police forces continually prove to be a threat to public safety & security.
these landlords let a literal mountain of trash collect at these apartments in my district. we fought them, so they posted notices lying that k-9 units would be training in the complex to scare tenants into backing down.
we need social housing. now.

@BORUSG Thank you for continuing to ensure that it’s unsafe for my three year old disabled child to attend his special ed preschool program in Clarke County School District because the “needs” of UGA take priority over the surrounding Athens community. Bang up job, y’all.
Two 16 hour days. Covid is getting bad again at the hospital. I am exhausted and can’t sleep. I am getting stage 2 pressure ulcers on the bridge of my nose from my N95 again. My hands are dry, angry and hurt. I am fried. Burned out. Exhausted. Wear. A. Fucking. Mask. #CovidRN
Most people misunderstand the call to redistribute police money. The idea behind it is to take their bloated budget and put it into mental health programs to stop fatal interactions between cops and people. The funds are still going towards public safety.
