The South is currently shaping (and always has shaped) our Democracy.

For more than a decade, Georgia has left billions of dollars on the table that could have kept hospitals open and helped our neighbors get the care they need.

Nine rural hospitals have closed. Rick Jackson says the consequences aren’t “as bad as anybody else thinks.”

It is easy to dismiss the consequences when you will never have to bear them. Georgians deserve a governor who knows the difference.

[Jake Strickland 🤩 @jakedstrick]

🚨 @RickJacksonGA just admitted he doesn’t think the consequences of failing to expand Medicaid “are as bad as anybody else thinks.”

Really Rick? 9 rural hospitals closed & you don’t think that’s bad?

This from a man who’s made billions off our broken healthcare system. #gapol

During our latest Community Call, @staceyabrams broke down what it really means to litigate, and why you don’t have to be a lawyer to have a role in challenging what’s happening around you. It can mean sharing information, organizing your community, questioning the things we’ve been told to simply accept, and making the case for something different. As Stacey puts it: “Litigation is a disruptor, because it argues that maybe it should not be so.”

@scott_colom Affordability isn’t a slogan - it’s a moral imperative. We deserve leaders in Washington who don’t forget where they came from. If they do, send them home. That’s why I support @scott_colom - for my family and friends in from Gulfport to Hattiesburg, Horn Lake to New Albany.

Since Cindy High Prices is so hard to find in Mississippi, I figured I'd try the U.S. Capitol.

Turns out she's just as hard to find there, too.

Sixty-one years after the Voting Rights Act became law, its promise is once again under attack.
They target Black voting power first because they believe we are the easiest to silence—but their ultimate goal is to dismantle democracy for us all.

As I told @MichaelSteele last night: We have the power. We have the agency. We have the numbers. And every time we rise, unite and vote, we prove that our power is real.

[Stacey Abrams @staceyabrams]

Sixty-one years after the Voting Rights Act became law, its promise is once again under attack.

Voting rights are not a Black issue. They are democracy’s last defense. We have won this fight before — and through organizing, vigilance, and votes too powerful to ignore, we will win again.

Donald Trump just used a primetime address to relitigate an election he lost six years ago — and to demand new laws making it harder to vote.

Americans see through the lies. He tried this in Georgia first: a call to "find 11,780 votes," a raid on Fulton County, and now a war on the ballot itself.

That's not democracy. That's cowardice. America, we've beaten it before.

One of the joys of a book hitting shelves is meeting the readers who bring the stories home.

In Coded Justice, Avery Keene enters a world of AI, money and the power to save lives - but innovation has a devastating cost. The question is: who will pay the ultimate price?

Thank you to The Book Worm, FoxTale Book Shoppe, Barnes & Noble, A Capella Books, Eagle Eye Book Shop and 44th & 3rd Bookseller for hosting me. Deep
gratitude to everyone who joined our conversations. I am especially grateful for the independent bookstores that nurture our curiosity, strengthen our communities and make room for the stories that help us imagine what comes next.

Coded Justice, now in paperback, is available wherever books are sold. And ready to be your next beach read.

You know who's also running for U.S. Senate? This happily married dad of two who was vetted by the FBI for a federal judgeship. 😎

Those attacking our voting rights are afraid of the power we hold and how we’ve poured into this nation’s story. This #Juneteenth, we celebrate and honor the fight of those who came before us. Our mission in this moment is unmistakable: push on until our full freedom is finally realized.

One of my favorite pictures with my father, Reverend Robert Lee Abrams. He and Mom built a beautiful family and filled it with faith, courage, service, laughter, and love.

You left so much good behind, Dad. We love you.

Statement from the Abrams family.

Step 9 in the fight for democracy is electing leaders who protect us. The FBI raids against Ohio grassroots organizations echo attacks on the right of Black and brown voters to be heard. We must be vigilant about defending our democracy — everywhere for everyone. So we register, engage, and vote. Together, we must protect our rights.

FBI special agents searched an office of a progressive organization in Ohio as part of a Justice Department investigation into its voter registration efforts, three people familiar with the matter tell NBC News. https://t.co/bpFcj3QYI9
