16-year-old, non-binary student Nex Benedict was beaten to death by their classmates at Owasso High School in Oklahoma. Girls did this. Highschool girls murdered someone in the middle of the school day in a bathroom. Absolutely sick, demented behaviour.

Democrats need to run in every race, at every level. Part of the reason we see such heavy GOP majorities is because we allow Republicans to run without opposition. Even if Democrats don’t win, I’d rather make a republican work for it rather than just handing them a win.

I’ll keep saying this until it changes; disabled people in America have never had equal access to employment, education or healthcare. If you think we do, you are wrong. I’m tired of debating ignorance.

Judy Heumann was the voice we all looked to, all listened to, and all learned from. America would not be the same for the Disabled Community without her fight and all she has accomplished. #RestInPower #DisabilityTwitter

I find it odd that people are cool with common sense laws around texting and driving, wearing seatbelts etc., but don’t think a firearm should have any sort of rules or regulations.

Why don’t disabled people vote, you ask? When you pass legislation that creates accessibility barriers, you stop disabled people from voting. It’s literally that simple. The better question is; Why are Republicans so ableist?

FACT: Georgia’s minimum wage is $5.15/hour, but the $7.25 minimum wage employees must make is because of federal law. Remember that the next time Kemp tells you Georgia is the #1 state for business.

@RussTidwell I funded the majority of my first race - it’s interesting how we throw money at statewide candidates but don’t invest in our own backyards.

On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, we honor one of Georgia’s greatest sons and his mission towards freedom, unity, and true justice. We recognize the strides made by those who have carried on his legacy in his absence, and the work still before us.
