"The Georgia Public Service Commission has approved several rate hikes over the last few years, and PSC members have enriched themselves through business relationships while on the board. So this is your chance to weigh in on all of that."

"This is one of those elections that sounds very boring but is very important if you enjoy things like not paying an arm and a leg in utility bills."

from today's @ajc.com newsletter: "Don’t forget about the Georgia Public Service Commission. Two seats are also up for grabs on the Georgia Public Service Commission in a statewide special election. Yes, that’s correct. No matter where you live in Georgia, you can vote in the PSC elections.…" 🧵

He wouldn't have. So the question becomes, if Trump did not feel provoked/motivated to run for president, who else would have satisfied that deranged social appetite? Considering how inexorable those pressures seem, it's bizarrely unclear that anyone else could have filled the role like he did.

If you're going to poast yourself looking like that, I would think you better actually look like that

I guess that would depend on something I admit I'm not clear on: how far along were right-wing US electeds (like Dana Rohrbacher) and institutions (like NRA) in the process of being compromised, captured, and co-opted by Russia? Could Romney have steered that, or would it have steered him?

I'm just going to say this for anyone who needs to hear it: trans rights are human rights. Attacking trans people and their rights is a favorite Nazi wedge issue when they assault our common humanity. It is now a key component in the Trump/Miller program. I will never agree to disagree about this.

Nazis always target trans people first because they're a small, vulnerable minority that is easy to demonize with gross mischaracterizations that feed into unfortunately widespread prejudices and anxieties.
