📣 OK, y’all. We’re running it back. I’m officially on the ballot in a special election this November as a Democrat for Fulton County Commissioner for District 4. Join us on Thursday, July 23 at 6:00pm for a launch and rally that will build on the joy, organizing, and community from last year.

Georgia: here are the results of the primary runoff elections! 🍑🗳️ These candidates will join candidates who won outright in May on the general election ballot on November 3, 2026. In November, we will have the opportunity to make history. I’m excited to be a part of it! #gapol #atlpol

So…Atlanta Hawks in 2029? 🏀 #electprogressives

We might be spending a TAD too much on consultants in Atlanta. 🧐

If a city tells you they have $100M to construct the largest police training facility in the country in the middle of a global pandemic, but the only way to fund grocery stores, hospitals, transit, and schools is to borrow money from your children’s futures…it is OK to have questions and concerns.

Atlanta: here are the results of the 2026 primary elections! 🍑🗳️ Spoiler: we’re going back to the polls in June for a number of runoff elections. 💚= will be on the November ballot (with me!) 🧡= going to a runoff in June

Politicians want to be celebrities so bad that they forgot how to have a real policy debate. Instead of using data and lived experience to work through nuance, they’re spending millions on marketing and lawsuits to fight advocates and researchers. Our communities deserve so much better.

It’s official: I qualified to run again for public office to serve the people of Atlanta and Tri-Cities. I’m so grateful to be on your ballot in 2026. Stay tuned. 💐💙🧡 #gapol #atlpol

Legislation introduced to provide publicly-funded, personal car service and driver for the Atlanta City Council President.

Gun violence is a public health crisis in Atlanta. It is the consequence of ineffective public policy. The answer is not to villainize festivals, birthday parties, or community gatherings. Policy requires coordinated, intentional, and focused public intervention and investment.

The White House deployed ICE officers to help unpaid TSA workers, but they aren’t trained to actually help with security screening.

Elect people who put you in their public policy, not just their politics.

Atlanta Firefighters’ union sues city for refusing to sign union contract “We were hoping that it would not come to this,” said IAFF Local 134 President Nate Bailey.

The boldest and most courageous part of Dr. King’s legacy was not just his words, but his unwavering commitment to transformative—and deeply unpopular—social and economic public policies. When I ran, I was inspired by his audacity, which was viewed as a threat to power—in many ways, it still is.

I can’t believe ping pong balls were nominated for the 2026 @goldenglobes.bsky.social after such a controversial performance in the 2025 elections in Atlanta. #goldenglobes #martysupreme

Grateful for electeds who speak out against ICE violence. Angry at those who excuse it. Most alarmed by those who do nothing. Atlanta must use every tool—funding, trainings, legal support—to protect our people. Inaction costs lives. Renee Nicole Macklin Good should be alive. Silence is complicity

2026 Atlanta City Council committee assignments. Diversity of geography, expertise, and perspective are essential to drive more effective legislation and maintain 7 independent Council committees. Elections matter.

Democrats will need a policy response that is stronger and more courageous than a strongly-worded fundraising email.

This is the danger of political logic: justify a wrong thing by referencing a bad thing and claim that anyone against the wrong thing is OK with the bad thing. Politicians won’t save us, but electing the wrong people creates irreversible damage that will have consequences for generations. #nowar

Entering 2026 with my joy and morality in tact. ❤️

All pawlitics is local. 🐾🎄

I'm thankful for leaders who pair food giveaways with real policy solutions that address why thousands of people are waiting in lines for food in the first place. #thanksgiving 🦃🙏🏽❤️

~1.5 million people in Georgia rely on SNAP benefits— 50,000 veterans. Hundreds of veterans in Atlanta experience homelessness. Veterans face urgent gaps in care. On #VeteransDay, governments must not just use veterans in profile photos, but commit to them through more effective public policy. 🇺🇸

Thank you, Atlanta, for the little rooms. OutKast reminds us how much work goes into creating something that matters. Not just in the music they made, but how they made it: as Misfits. We all felt pride and fight in André 3000’s speech 30 years ago. Hard not to feel that all over again last night.

This is a campaign and a moment that I will never forget for the rest of my life. Thank you, a million times over. Forever I love Atlanta. #atlpol #atlroh

Atlantans—today is your LAST chance to vote for Rohit Malhotra for City Council President! Like Rohit, Indivisible ATL believes Atlanta is worth fighting for! (Be in line by 7pm to vote in statewide races like the PSC. Polls stay open to vote for Rohit until 8pm.) @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social

@rohitforatlanta.bsky.social (usually a boring city council president race but would be a big win for progressives in #atl) @samformarietta.bsky.social (smart, engaging, young candidate challenging a 5 term old South mayor in #gapol)
