Today, we’re leaving X for Bluesky. Since Elon Musk spent $44 billion to buy Twitter in 2022, he’s allowed hate speech to fester unchecked while censoring content based on his whims. Elon’s purchase of Twitter was more than just buying an app–he bought a piece of our democracy.

Our future and our freedom are on the ballot in Georgia. This election will come down to what we do in the final days to mobilize voters for @KamalaHarris & champions like @LauraTJudge. Join us with @staceyabrams tomorrow at 4 pm in Cobb to knock on doors! mobilize.us/georgiayouthju…

Y’all, the owner of this beautiful dog in Buckhead just ran out of her house to shout, “I voted for @KamalaHarris and @susie4ga this morning!!” Knock the doors, Georgia, let’s win this thing. mobilize.us/georgiayouthju…

The deadliest school shooting in Georgia’s history took place just five days ago. At tonight’s debate, Apalachee High School wasn’t even mentioned. Barrow County and young Georgians deserve so much better. #ChangeForChee

@GovKemp In 2022, Governor Kemp championed a new law to allow permitless concealed carry. Guns should have no place in our schools or on our college campuses. Yet one of few places guns are banned in Georgia is from the Georgia State Capitol where these laws are created.

The fact that we cannot feel safe in our schools is a moral failure & a deliberate policy choice. We refuse to accept a world where @GovKemp claims to respond to today’s tragic act of violence when he created the conditions for this shooting to take place. x.com/GovKemp/status…

I have directed all available state resources to respond to the incident at Apalachee High School and urge all Georgians to join my family in praying for the safety of those in our classrooms, both in Barrow County and across the state. (1/2)

We heard this week was a good week to make big announcements about new teammates. We’re thrilled to announce we’ve more than doubled the number of full time staff to help us engage even more young Georgians across the state.

I’m sorry but the only thing I want to hear from Korbin Albert is a genuine apology for being homophobic and rooting for the injury of her USWNT teammates.

Korbs talks us through her absolute BANGER 💥

Tweets like this are honestly insulting and trade on ignorance.
Georgia is a battleground state. The venue is in the heart of Atlanta. It should be no surprise the event is packed, especially when @KamalaHarris has had our backs & been putting in work here since at least 2018.

In Georgia. Freaking amazing.

These wonderful humans and first time voters in Georgia spent all day knocking on doors with @georgiayouthco and tried to join the event with @KamalaHarris tonight. Here’s hoping that @KamalaHQ gets a bigger venue next time!

@alikrieger @naomi_girma @tierna_davidson @USWNT @NWSL @georgiayouthco Today is @alikrieger’s 40th birthday, and we could really use a little Krieger magic tonight against Germany. So I mended my bobble head with super glue in Marseille to help bring home a win for @USWNT. Till then, cheers to an absolute legend & beautiful person. My DMs are open.
English
@alikrieger @naomi_girma @tierna_davidson @USWNT @NWSL In the same way @alikrieger broke dreams on the pitch with scoreless minutes, so too did my bobble head finally break in January. The timing felt fitting because the Georgia State Legislature would leave me broken by attacking public education, LGBTQ youth, and democracy.

Last fall, I flew to North Carolina to cheer on @GothamFC and got to meet @alikrieger. In December, my friends re-gifted me a bobble head in Brooklyn to bring the Krieger magic all over the world 🧵

@alikrieger @naomi_girma @tierna_davidson @USWNT @NWSL After an ACL and MCL tear in 2012, @alikrieger knows a thing or two about the importance of healing both mentally and physically. To start the New Year, I did some healing of my own in Ojo Caliente and Taos, New Mexico, and I’m so glad to hear 2024 brought healing for Ali too.
English
@alikrieger @naomi_girma @tierna_davidson @USWNT @NWSL But four score and seven interceptions ago, I was in Gettysburg near @alikrieger’s beloved Penn State. The infectious thing about Ali’s game is the unity she brings to every team and the way her teammates respond to her, as a teammate, as a captain, and as a friend.
