Y’all ever noticed that the wheels of government move mighty quick when it comes time to marginalize folks? You want funding for public services? Wait a couple years. Need to ban abortion, gerrymander districts, or dehumanize trans people? It’ll get done by tomorrow.
The Trump administration wants to hike your monthly student loan payment.
That is not hyperbole.
To do that, they are trying to scare you into taking action that would trigger repayment immediately. Again, you have some time.
You have until September to figure out what to do.
ATL question:
Do you actually know what laws are being passed in Georgia right now?
Most of us are working all day. Nobody has time to read through government websites.
So I built https://t.co/URvR4aJ9X5 - politics in GA explained simply, like TheShadeRoom but for the Capitol.
In 1946 WWII veteran Maceo Snipes was shot in his back by the KKK the day after he became the first Black person to cast a vote in Taylor County, Georgia.
After he was shot, Mr. Snipes walked three miles to the hospital with his mother. For six hours doctors left him waiting and bleeding. By the time he was seen, he needed a blood transfusion. The doctors said the hospital had no “black blood.” Snipes died two days later.
This is why I will vote in every election. The day I stop voting is the day I stop breathing.
People died trying to vote.
Today was National Voter Registration Day. But guess what, you're in luck you can still register to vote. Grab your family members and friends.
Let’s go!

These politicians want us to have short memories but anybody who lived during the time of the Charleston Massacre knows that it took @BreeNewsome scaling the flag pole for Nikki Haley to do something about the confederate flag.
