I’m honored to be named a finalist for the 2025 Dr. Espanola Jackson Energy Justice Award. Dr. Jackson believed community organizing & empowerment is the way forward on climate. Do you? If so, I’d be grateful for your vote. ☀️😎🙏🏽

To be clear "Since 2023, the all-Republican commission has approved six rate increases that have raised residential bills about $43." PER MONTH. That's over $500+ a year. Now R's are lying their base about non-existent green new deal policies raising bills. Shame on them.

[Greg Bluestein @bluestein]

Republicans have another reason to worry about potentially losing the two Public Service Commission seats on the ballot next month.

I've been working on energy issues in Georgia for a long time and I'm so happy to have had the opportunity to participate in this discussion about the Georgia Public Service Commission's reckless approval of coal, gas, and power bill increases.
Georgians can change this Nov 4th!

Take it from those who know him best: If Donald Trump is reelected, he will fill the White House with loyalists—and there will be no one to stop his worst instincts.

So if I understand correctly:

-Ga power builds tax funded nuclear reactors at 2x the budget and time of original plan
-they then add fee to our bills for those
-Now unelected local officials are giving tax breaks to data centers that will use all of that new energy?

Fuck this

[Jason Dozier @jasonsdozier]

3/ Additionally, the energy demand of these centers is substantial, oftentimes equivalent to an entire natural gas plant's output, further stressing our fragile electric grid.

Thousands and thousands of Georgians, many of whom live in rural GA and are conservatives, have spoken out against Twin Pines’ plan to destroy the #Okefenokee swamp. The only person who can do anything at all to stop it is @BrianKempGA. Twin Pines gave him something. What is it?

[SaportaReport @SaportaReport]

After the 2024 legislative session, the Okefenokee Swamp, the continent’s largest blackwater swamp, still does not have a certain future. @MarkLannNews https://t.co/5Bz8IJBLh9

[Brionté @mbrionte]

The Republican’s justification for HB 1312 is that they want to prevent sudden change on the commission. That’s like skipping presidential elections to prevent sudden changes in the administration. It’s called democracy. If it’s what the people want, it’s what they want. #gapol

[Mark Niesse @markniesse]

The Georgia General Assembly passed a bill that would keep current utility regulators in charge beyond the expirations of their terms, a proposal that arose from an ongoing court battle that has put PSC elections on hold since 2022. #gapol https://t.co/4IiBcNZ705

Republicans are using Laken Riley's death as a call to arms on border control. Remember it's Republicans who killed immigration and border security legislation over and over. Let's not politicize Laken's tragic loss. Dems have come to the table. Rs excused themselves. #gapol

[Brionté @mbrionte]

@staceyhopkinsga @MuadDib1825 Dems don't have enough votes to stop a bill from passing in either the state House or Senate, especially not without supporting Republican votes. Ds or Rs these legislators are just people. They *sometimes* respond to direct pressure, especially from their constituents.

Why are we trying to bring back child labor in 2024? I need to #gagop to do better. Do we really need to put children to work, or should we pay adults livable wages? Let kids be kids. Protect the kids. #gapol

[Georgia House Democrats @GAHouseDems]

Rep. Deborah Silcox is trying to pass a bill to bring CHILD LABOR back to GA.

HB 501 removes basic protections for kids. Employers won't have to check the age of children who work.

CALL Deborah Silcox and ask her to protect our kids –> https://t.co/qI9dzrCpr0 #gapol

As an organizer and activist steeped in southern politics, I have to wonder, what steps are being taken? Because some political stances are just factually incorrect... like whether the earth is round or flat, the climate is changing, or whether black people face discrimination.

@therabbithole That chart exaggerates the situation imo, but we are taking immediate action to shift Grok closer to politically neutral

Saying, “oh it’s only a few more dollars a month” is how GA Power and GA’s major news outlets collude to make the increases seem less devastating. I’ve been asking reporters to stop using the power company and PSC’s narrative for years. It’s billion dollar robbery!

[Patty Durand @PattyDurandGA]

On Wed. Aug. 30 Ga Power and the Ga PSC announced they reached a secret deal, I mean, stipulated agreement, to add $7.56 billion into rates to pay for Plant Vogtle. An enormous amount of news headlines stated that Ga Power bills will increase $9/mo.

Ima say the quiet part out loud.

A lot of men are not desirable. Some lack the emotional intelligence (among other things) to have a HEALTHY relationship dynamic. This is one (of the many reasons) why they cling to patriarchy. Because patriarchy puts people in a position to NEED men regardless of if you want them or not.

You didn’t have to WANT a man but if you wanted a house you NEEDED a man. You didn’t have to WANT a man but if you wanted stable income in a home you NEEDED a man (this did not apply to BW bc they’ve always had to work, however the gender wage gap does apply to them so my sentiment still remains) you also NEEDED men if you wanted a bank account.

My point is men don’t have work on us as a collective if patriarchy keeps us in a space in which we are NEEDED. This is why you see grown ass men on the verge of tears when women say they don’t NEED a man. This is why we’re watching “the protectors of the community” use this woman’s situation as leverage to point out why you NEED men (completely ignoring a man was not only the victimizer but also a myriad of men stood motionless & offered no aid)

Men want power and to be needed and Patriarchy provides them with both.
