@JBCoalson@CobbSchools@mdjonline Ragsdale is being held accountable. Anyone who puts quotation marks around woke tells me you are clutching at a bygone era of stale, male, and pale. Embrace multiple and diverse perspectives — it’s how we grow a more equitable society and what our kids deserve.
@JBCoalson@CobbSchools@cobbschoolboard How much do you know about Charisse, Jaha, and Tré? For the first time in, I don’t know, ever, CCSB has three members who are trying to represent all of Cobb county - not just East Cobb. We need their voices and they are continually silenced by the Board. Their insights matter.
@CobbSchools and @cobbschoolboard I am in support of Board members Davis, Howard, and Hutchins asking for a conduct review of the Board. The email you just sent the entire parent body of Cobb County is inappropriately biased against them and a politically motivated move.
And with Vice President @KamalaHarris casting the crucial tie-breaking vote, at 5:30am after 14 hours of debate, the Senate has passed a $1.9 trillion budget for COVID relief. Georgia voters made this possible.
Thank you Senator Nikki Merritt @merritt4ga Voting should be easier, not harder. What Georgia’s Republicans are calling for is #votersuppression and smacks of Jim Crow.
"To fight with honor means playing by fair rules." @merritt4ga spoke in the #GASenate today about #votersuppression bills. "I think of elderly voters...working moms and dads...our kids we sent away to college."
We should be helping people vote, not putting up roadblocks. #gapol
#Savannah becomes the first city in GA to pass a resolution calling for the repeal of #GA’s #StandYourGround law.
Our current law gives civilians in public places more leeway to shoot than the US military gives soldiers in war zones! Thanks @MomsDemand#gapol
A reminder that most Georgia Republican leaders were publicly silent - or supportive - as @mtgreenee positioned herself for Congress even though many privately dreaded her embarrassing the state in Congress. #gapol
This is my child’s school district. I am astonished by the school board’s members who refused to wear a mask @CobbSchools including Mr. Ragsdale and Mr. Banks. What kind of role models are you for our children and community? We deserve better. The teachers deserve better.
“I am a little curious as to why the superintendent of a county who has now had three teachers die from COVID, potentially contracted while teaching, could not be bothered to do this one small act” - put on a mask - “to honor a beloved teacher.” https://t.co/bU1rOp47MZ
In this moment of unrest, violence and anger, we must remember the words of Dr. King, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Let each of us try to be a light to see our country out of this dark moment.
Today, domestic terrorists attacked a foundation of our democracy: the peaceful transfer of power following free elections.
We must reestablish the rule of law and hold them accountable.
Democracy is fragile. Our leaders must live up to their responsibility to protect it.
This is not about polarization, or division, or partisanship. This is a fascist movement acting at the direction of the President of the United States, who has been enabled at every turn by a major American political party.
Think of how many of these people believe things like Q Anon. This is the end result of an American far right that broke peoples' brains with apocalyptic conspiracy theories while encouraging people to be heavily armed. These people believe that some reckoning was inevitable
