So, what can be done? He said he wouldn't. Doesn't have permits or permission for the destruction. Where's the teeth in the law to hold him accountable? Seems typical of a builder or developer based on my experience who skate on breaking the law...👇

2/2: Builder next to me, levels trees violating a 50' no-disturbance buffer for the creek mandated by code. "Oopsie. I'm sorry, I wasn't supposed to do that?" Pay $500 fine and move on. Cost of doing business. Got his way and won the day. Environmental regulations lost that day....

So, currently the PSC looking at the best interests of Georgians, are being funded by executives from companies they are regulating. See the problem? No wonder our utility bills are so high.

Time to stop the grift. Vote Peter Hubbard and Alicia Johnson. Their top donors are citizen advocacy groups.

I bet Tim and Fitz consider this a "hit" piece.

Georgia utility regulators rake in cash from industry donors

Echols has raised about $980,000 in campaign cash since his last election in 2016; Johnson has raised about $473,000 since Gov. Brian Kemp appointed him to the commission.

Sounds consistent. He really hates those who disagree with him. And won't do anything to help them... 👇

C. Allen @callenofgeorgia.bsky.social · 1d

Using satire to communicate that he hates his opponents and those who disagree with him — and doesn’t wish the best for them. Basically saying, he hates millions and millions of Americans and is not going to help them. Giving his lackeys cover for turning their backs to their constituents.

This can't be repeated enough. From the rooftops. Dems need to make this key point why they are taking their stance on H.R. 1 the GOP shutdown the government over. Can't "afford" to extend the ACA credits, but can afford to send $40B to Argentina. @ossoff.senate.gov @warnock.senate.gov

C. Allen @callenofgeorgia.bsky.social · 2d

It's worse than the wealthy don't care and are getting richer by the moment.

The man in the oval doesn't care. He would rather send $40B to bail out Argentina than to bail out American's healthcare.

Amplify that!

US is working on doubling aid to Argentina to $40 billion by tapping private funding sources

The Trump administration is looking to provide an additional $20 billion in financing for Argentina.

Georgia #4 on the nationwide list who will see their ACA premiums double. Remember that when you head to the polls in 2026. Who hurt people in their districts? MAGA “warriors” Buddy Carter, Loudermilk, Clyde, MTG, McCormick, Collins, Scott, and Allen.

Skyrocketing premiums will ripple beyond ACA.

He says gleefully.

Trump ‘hates his opponents and doesn’t want the best for them.’ Cabinet and GOP in Congress working hard to support those wishes by disenfranchising as many Democrats and liberals as possible…

That's why the Regime is extorting money from the Media moguls. Trump's saliently rewriting the 1st amendment to make them beholden to him.

Yeah. Currently no way to gift articles that I see. My gift to them will cease when they move to all digital format at years end.

Leading posts and page 1 for today with old THIS STORY?

No Kings story pushed out on page 3, with no BSKY mentions?

I guess sordid sex scandals sell more papers versus what people think about the perils in our democracy by this administration.

Protest messaging isn't mean't for him. Or his regime. Like most autocrats, they don't care what their subjects think. But to the 37% of the people who didn't vote or voted 3rd party.

Remember, regardless of what he says, he was elected by a slim majority of eligible voters.

Perfect example of what the problem we have in America today. L o w I n f o r m a t i o n people who vote, but not paying attention to what is happening in their communities, in their states, country, or world. No Kings wha…? Oh give me a break.

C. Allen @callenofgeorgia.bsky.social · 3d

GOP has effectively shut down the government long before this CR fight. Gutted agencies to the point they’re not functional, ceded legislative authority to executive branch, refusing to hold town halls to hear from constituents, barring minority party from participating in bills, etc.

My thoughts exactly. Yes, we are against fascism in this country. The question should be, why aren't you? 👇

💯 Low Information people think Antifa is something bad, a terrorist organization because Trump and Faux News said so.

Turn the tables. Reframe. Spell it out for these folks.

Anti-Fascists.
