Thousands of protests (not protestors; protests, themselves) are planned across the United States and even in Europe, Saturday, with dozens just in the state of Georgia. The ACLU has 'protest ready' resources aplenty for demonstrators to be prepared for multiple contingencies - not the least of which include addressing interlopers who wish to escalate the situation for ill-intent. It's going to be an interesting day, no doubt. ------This is all the more potentially a powder keg because

With thousands of National Guardsmen and Marines descending on Los Angeles because (checks notes) someone set a car on fire, the narrative from the right is predictable in the face of growing public resentment to them: send in the hammers all in riot gear with tear gas canisters, flash bombs and dressed in riot gear and foment chaos to create a spectacle for their base. It's a trope as old (older, actually) than this 51-year old podcaster. It famously backfired in Selma, Alabama when the

Marjorie Taylor Greene's revelation that she voted for something she's dead-set against is just another in a long line of self-inflicted face-plants by MAGA. The Trump-backed 'One Big Beautiful Bill' wouldn't have passed out ot the House were it not for her vote, so now she and other Republicans and Democrats against a ten-year moratorium on state A.I. regulations are scrambling to try and undo that damage. But wait - there's more.'Fearless leader' has such seething

I remember telling myself in the lead-up and the aftermath of the 2024 November elections that it was apparent way too many American voters had forgotten about the first Donald Trump presidency, wrought with chaos, unrest, division, tensions, protests and 'tough talk' and bluster from the White House in the face of it, complete with threats of military use on domestic streets to respond.That was all before the pandemic, which only made his and his administration's performances in their

A month after securing the seat, new Georgia Democratic Party chair Charlie Bailey sat down with me today at Condesa Coffee in Old Fourth Ward Atlanta to discuss the state of the party he inherited from Rep. Nikema Williams. I wanted to know what was 'right' about the party he took the reigns of on day one, the biggest glaring need for the party, then, too, and covered a lot of ground on candidate recruitment, support of those candidates by the party, and his hoping to see Democrats go on

If you think the American evangelical fixation over Israel's well-being is simply about "doing the right thing," my hunch is you'd be wrong. As a southern-born kid who grew up in the baptist faith, there's a lot I came away with despite that fact I'm now a 51-year old atheist. i'm not saying I didn't come away with some good values from that exposure to organized religion, but I'd like to think my family upbringing had an outsized role.What I do believe,

Georgia Insurance Commissioner John King (R) is already looking to distinguish himself in the GOP Senate primary field by taking aim at Democratic Georgia Senators John Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. The issue: communication with he and his staff in the run-up to the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.The problem? He left out some key details - like his own office's praise for the communication between his staff and the two Senators' and their staffs. Yeah, The Ossoff and Warnock team came

Retired Marine sergeant and Army Brigadier General, Northwest Georgia cattle farmer Shawn Harris made a go at Marjorie Taylor Greene in 2024, outpacing the Harris/Walz campaign by 12% in Georgia's 14th Congressional district. It wasn't enough to win but it does show that Democrats focusing on local races by being where voters are can sway elections up the ballot. Well today, Shawn joined me to announce his campaign for the Congressional seat in 2026 - whether Greene is running for it again

The White House won't be recognizing Pride Month in 2025 (and we imagine the next three years as well), but there's also a lot of corporate hesitance to go "all out" this month with rainbow-adorned logos and dramatic proclamations on social media backing diversity, equity and inclusion, too. Because under the Trump regime, embracing D.E.I. could land you under investigation. Totally not fascist, though.Fear not, thought. retail giant Target, the off-and-on (and again 'off')

Former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms ended all the speculation and announced her campaign for Georgia's governor's office early today. Greg Bluestein from the Atlanta Journal Constitution had a prolonged Q & A with Bottoms and it was somewhat revealing, actually. I'm still only lukewarm to the prospects of her being the Democratic party's nominee, but it's hard to ignore her introduction being an effective launch. ------Former Lt. Governor Geoff Duncan, the

I've followed Ethan Embry on Twitter/X (he's on Bluesky now) for years now, and have always been fascinated with how well-versed he is on political and social issues. Today, I finally got to sit down with the Atlanta-based California transplant best known for his acting in cult favorites like 'Empire Records,' 'That Thing You Do,' 'Can't Hardly Wait,' 'Sweet Home Alabama,' and notable most recently as 'Coyote' in the Netflix series 'Grace &

Kennesaw State University students and their supporters took to Atlanta - some 30 minutes (by car) south of their campus - Wednesday to protest KSU's announcement that they're eliminating black studies & philosophy majors outside the Georgia Board of Regents' offices. NAACP Georgia chapter president Gerald Griggs joined me to provide background & tell me what's next in the process & continued protest of this decision. ------Also in Cobb County, that school board's curious use of social

Atlanta's WXIA-TV, 11 Alive, broke the story late last week: a Georgia woman, brain-dead since February, has been kept alive for more than 90 days because Emory Hospital lawyers advised the hospital against ending life support because of an early pregnancy. Now, her family's gripped in perpetual mourning while also awaiting the birth of what could likely be a child with immense medial woes of its own. It leaves Georgia politicians, left and right, finger-pointing. State Senator Nabila Islam-Parkes

When a prominent politician does a town hall in Iowa, it sort of defines the unofficial start to the upcoming presidential cycle and their campaign in earnest to win the office. That's just ... tradition. So when former South Bend, Indiana mayor and U.S. Transportation Pete Buttigieg hosted a town hall with VoteVets Wednesday night, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, a full 1,272 days before Election Day, November 7, 2028, it's as if we could say both that "he's running for President" and
