If you get your health care through Georgia Access, log on today to check your monthly payment for next year.

A million Georgians will see that their health care premiums have doubled.

The Republican funding bill allows this. I won’t stand for it.

Hounds and I drive a similar route every morning to visit our unhoused friends. Miss Cynthia has literally left notes on my car when she’s realized she hadn’t seen us for a few days.

Community will save us.
It’s the ONLY way forward.

Black People know this—which is how I know WE will all be fine.✊🏽

My lawyer discovered news of my lil cousin’s death before I even informed him—bc he’s good at his job. Texted THEE PERFECT msg before we spoke:

“Just heard. Please be careful. Think of the desired outcome, work backward and tell me what you need, when you’re ready.”

He knows me better than anyone!

Jay @johnathanperk.bsky.social · Jun 27

If your lawyer isn’t a bad ass, you should probably find a new one.

My personal counsel happens also to be one of the nation’s top First Amendment lawyers, who happens to have founded the nation’s top defamation firm—my law school bestie, turned brother. ⚖️

Between this, the resegregation of the military, and the retooling of the Department of Justice to focus on (fake) discrimination against white Christians, and eviscerating Civil Rights Act enforcement, they have nearly erased the structural legacy of the Civil Rights Movement.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.
