November 15, 2018 By Regina Willis Leave a Comment

Runoffs are imminent. The question remains: how many?

Voter disenfranchisement and other tricks have only been able to get Brian Kemp and other conservative candidates so far. There are two races where no candidate received above 50 percent of the vote, and two other races where votes are still being counted. This means runoffs are imminent. It’s clear that Democrat John Barrow will… [Read More]

In Georgia, over 2 million early ballots were cast, which is more than double the number of early ballots cast in 2014. Every demographic appears to be sending more voters to the polls.

The final word

The final word

This election is about rebuking white nationalism. It’s about whether or not we have to worry that we’re all just one medical emergency away from losing our homes or declaring bankruptcy. This election is about whether we, as a society, value the lives of our students, teachers and neighbors over the profits of the gun… [Read More]

The Adult Diaper Movement

The Adult Diaper Movement

Only the Churchillian resolve of President Donald Trump stands between the embattled American people and a menacing caravan of Latinos headed on foot through Mexico for the United States border.  This caravan numbers roughly 4,000 people – half women and children – and lacks a general, missiles, air power, rocket propelled grenade launchers, drones, AR15s… [Read More]

Brian Kemp’s horrible history of map rigging

Brian Kemp is a master architect of map rigging and voter suppression. He understands that low voter turnout is generally a good thing for the Republican Party in Georgia. But as a political strategy, low voter turnout is difficult to engineer and it can backfire. More ominously, Kemp understands that map rigging is the best… [Read More]

Kemp might not be racist, but racists sure love him

Kemp might not be racist, but racists sure love him

Hateful, xenophobic rhetoric have become the norm amongst the Right. Trump has been fanning the flames of fear and vitriol since before he was elected. He treats women, especially female reporters, disrespectfully and encourages violence toward the free press. He’s denigrated Jews, Muslims, Hispanics, African Americans, the disabled and members of the LGBTQ community. In… [Read More]
