Resist so that you can show, "I didn't support this administration". Economic boycott this week. Shop local, only buy for needs, or don't shop.

Heroes are stepping up. I hope Atlanta and local areas are prepared. First humanity. Beings on this planet deserve RESPECT and CARE. Remember first 1. Compassion, next 2. Curiosity and then 3. Courage because most folks forget the first two. Change the order as appropriate. 4. Take action.

Good column by Bill Torpy in the AJC today.
If there's some question about whether or not the administration's view of America looks like 1933 Germany, this answers it. The imagery in these pictures is something out of a white supremacist advertising campaign.

Labor Department’s anti-DEI campaign is Norman Rockwell meets Josef Stalin
The Labor Department's ad campaign, with numerous posters reminiscent of Russian propaganda, is part of a deliberate anti-DEI campaign being waged by the Trump administration.

Vote for change in the Statewide Georgia Public Service Commission election. The current PSC and Georgia Power are obfuscating about your power bills.
Thanks to @hcrichardson.bsky.social , I learned that there are 52,000 elected offices up for election on 11/4. That’s 52000 chances to vote in candidates who share our values and who will protect the constitution.
I voted and returned my ballot.

Today, the U.S. faces one billion+ dollar climate/weather disaster on average every 2w. That's a massive increase from one every 4m in the 1980s.
This is 'global weirding' and people are taking notice!
The government told NOAA to stop tracking these events: but @climatecentral.org is on the job.

Every paragraph of this recording of our most recent history, leaves another lump in my throat and tears at the back of my eyes. My sadness does not defeat me, and my faith helps me keep my courage so that fear does not defeat me either. I will keep speaking out.

Good stuff here.
A gentle reminder that a public-facing company can't refuse to do business with you on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin under the Civil Rights Act.
But no one can force YOU as a common consumer to do business with anyone. Old fashioned consumer boycotts are perfectly legal.

I hated that article. It led to my husband and I having the conversation about whether we should renew. I am a Sunday morning physical copy gal. My husband likes supporting local journalism. @neonflag.bsky.social will always renew with you so if there is a barrier, I need to know.
The AJC's "Top 50 Restaurants" list is trash driven by social media and PR clientele that can be safely ignored by actual Atlantans.
It excludes almost all OTP restaurants, ignores restaurants that don't serve alcohol and shamefully has next to nothing on Buford Highway. The AJC is lying to you.
