Salvadoran-born journalist Mario Guevara was deported after his arrest in June, while covering protests in Georgia against the immigration raids of Trump’s first months. He was the only known journalist detained by ICE on U.S. soil, reports @yuliramazzini.

Statement on Recent Ceasefire and Hostage Release
Light green lines on the top and bottom of a navy page with a white logo that reads “Ruwa” peach on top, and for Georgia on bottom. Under it the date in white “October 14, 3025” and a peach header that reads “Statement on Recent Ceasefire and Hostage Release” Statement text in white reads: For 2 years, so many of us did all that we could to end the genocide in Gaza. Yesterday, after holding our breath in anticipation and hope that a ceasefire deal would be reached, we saw Israeli and Palestinian hostages being reunited with their loved ones. But let us be clear, this ceasefire does not mark the end, but the beginning of the arduous but necessary work ahead. We are already seeing violations of the ceasefire and Israel is once again preventing the entry of aid. There won’t be true and lasting peace for Palestinians or Israelis without accountability and an end to the abuse and oppression that has persisted for 77 years. Across all of those years, our tax dollars have been used not to fund hospitals and schools right here at home, but to wreak havoc and destruction. And recently, for the last two years, fund this genocide. True and lasting peace for all people only comes when all those who have enabled these atrocities are held to account, the apartheid ends and freedom, safety and dignity are prioritized for all.

I recently spoke with Capital B Atlanta about what’s at stake in this gubernatorial race, from attacks on DEI to what real leadership in Georgia should look like. You can read the full story here: atlanta.capitalbnews.org/ruwa-romman-...
Image featuring Georgia gubernatorial candidate Ruwa Romman smiling and standing among supporters holding campaign signs that read “Ruwa for Georgia” with a peach logo. The top section includes a Capital B Atlanta headline that reads “Palestinian American Pitches Black Voters Progressive Plan in Georgia Governor’s Race” by Chauncey Alcorn. Below, a highlighted quote from Romman says: “I believe that if we do not know our history, we are doomed to repeat it. I think that this attack on DEI is nothing more than a distraction... [full quote continues about politicians using culture-war buzzwords to take away access to education].”

Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of October 7 and Ongoing Genocide
Statement on the Two Year Anniversary of October 7 and Ongoing Genocide Rep. Ruwa Romman, Democratic State Representative and candidate for Governor of Georgia issued the following statement on the anniversary of October 7 and ongoing Genocide For two years, we have witnessed atrocities beyond human comprehension. Two years of horrific violence, mass displacement, and incalculable loss. Two years of having to mourn the deaths of men, women, children, and entire families. Two years of families desperate to be reunited with those taken hostage. We remain angry, heartbroken, and once again call on our leaders to bring an end to this destruction that’s killed at least 67,000 Palestinians and more than 1,100 Israelis. Sadly, our leaders continue to fail us. While they trumpet proposals of alleged peace little has changed. Every day this continues, Israel, with our backing and tax dollars, perpetuates more death, destruction, and horror in Gaza. Children are starving. Hostages remain in captivity. Every day that passes isn’t just a policy failure — it furthers one of humanity’s darkest periods in recent memory. Today, we reiterate our calls to stop sending bombs in violation of our laws. We reaffirm the need for leaders to reach a just solution and a lasting peace agreement for all those living in the region. We echo the demands for the release of Israeli and Palestinian hostages. May the children born today grow up without genocide, apartheid, and oppressive cycles that perpetuate more violence. May we all have the courage to end decades of violence and bloodshed that’s claimed so many lives. Together, we can bring an end to this nightmare. ###

Running in Georgia, no matter what route you take, somehow ends up being uphill both ways. As @coachbennett.bsky.social says, this is about running and this is not about running 🏃🏽‍♀️

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver food and other life saving necessities.

Now, more than 461 people have been illegally detained by the Israeli military.

The forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza must end and those who have been detained must be freed.

It’s shameful that the Global Sumud Flotilla has been intercepted by Israel on its way to Gaza. Blocking aid in the midst of a famine caused by this endless war will only lead to even more lives lost.

End the blockade.
End the genocide.
Release the hostages.
End this war NOW.

Georgians are worried about how to pay their mortgage or rent, their skyrocketing utility bills, and their premiums that are now doubling. For VP Vance to say they're having a good time while so many face uncertainty is callous. Really shows that our lives are just a game to them

Q: You said you're interested in good faith negotiations, but is it helpful to post pictures of Leader Jeffries in a sombrero if you're trying to have good faith talks?

JD VANCE: Oh! I think it's funny! The president is joking and we're having a good time.

Somebody to lean on. I have had the pleasure of getting to meet and be in a few coalitions with Rep. Ruwa Romman. As a fellow Swiftie and member of the Working Families Party, Ruwa has my vote. She cares about Georgia.

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.
