Absolutely stunning display of inhumanity: double amputee in ICE detention forced to crawl through across the floor of a bathroom just to shower. Follow Tim's shocking reporting of detention in Georgia @onofftherecord.bsky.social

To our volunteers, donors, and friends: your kindness and belief in us mean the world.

Whether you volunteered, donated, or simply showed up, you helped us build a genuine movement.

We are carrying that support forward into the next chapter of this work.

Although this specific campaign is ending, the work for a more progressive Atlanta continues.

We are committed to helping this movement grow and look forward to sharing the lessons we've learned about getting grassroots candidates into the arena.

Hi everyone, We are reaching out today first to express our deepest gratitude for the incredible support you've shown us over the past few months.

However, we have a difficult update to share: after evaluating our progress, we have decided to suspend our campaign for the 5th District.

DeLauro to pressing clergy: 'I will not vote to abolish ICE' The Connecticut U.S. representative found herself at odds with faith leaders.

β€œI would rather you vote for what is morally correct,” Davidson said.

β€œDon’t talk to me about my own morality,” DeLauro shot back.

β€œDon’t tell your constituents what they can and can’t talk to you about,” replied Rev. Nathan Empsall. β€œWhat you are voting for is not moral.”

Freshly harvested lemons in a 900 lib crate in the field

"Luis" harvests lemons in Orange Cove, CA. He earns $48 per 900lb crate. "On a good day, I can pick 2-3 crates. It is dangerous work. We climb up and down a 12-foot ladder paying attention to avoid the thorns. It's cold and wet at this time of year, so it's slippery." #WeFeedYou

The rule of law continues to collapse.

The rich are getting pardons for their crimes while the working class is killed in the streets.

If Democratic voters want a Democratic Party that fights, some are going to have to vote against their current representatives during the primaries.

Don’t expect a leopard to change its spots.

Look at who their funders are and act accordingly.

Fascism always fails, but it drags the innocent down with it.

We are one year into this four-year regime, and things are only spiraling.

Stop pretending it won’t get worse.

We must prepare our communities now for the violence they’ll bring as they lose their grip on power.

We're proving you don't need corporate PAC money to run a winning campaign in Georgia's 5th District.

Help us reach our $10k goal by the end of the month! Link in bio.

A retro-style political poster with a cream background. Large dark blue text reads "AI REGULATIONS NOW" with "REGULATIONS" highlighted in yellow. The design evokes a defense of human values against digital threats. Bottom features the Andres Castro campaign logo.

Grok's "edit" tool is being used to strip women of their clothes without consent.

Unregulated chatbots are trapping users in "Al Psychosis", delusion loops that validate paranoia instead of challenging it.

We need a regulations that protects our minds and our bodies. #gapol

Our case challenging President Trump’s attempt to end birthright citizenship in front of the Supreme Court is one of the biggest cases of the century.

We’re fighting to preserve the very fabric of this nation.

Rent is up. Food prices are climbing. The National Debt is exploding. Yet, we are watching another conflict unfold in Venezuela.

Do you think US intervention is really about "democracy," or is it about resources?

As we enter 2026, I want to remind folks that primary elections are where voters can decide to not have to choose between the lesser of two evils in general elections.

You do not have to vote against your self interests. In fact, that’s the opposite of how a democracy works.

Spent the day waiting for the monks on their journey.

It was worth the 5-hour wait.

The monks gave me a lot to think aboutβ€”specifically how we must first find peace in ourselves.

This country’s future depends on it. πŸ•ŠοΈ

A bold political campaign poster with a burnt orange background. Large, retro-style beige block letters read "HEALTHCARE" at the top. Below, inside a beige brushstroke, the words "IS A" appear in dark green. Underneath, large text reads "HUMAN RIGHT." The bottom section features the candidate's name, "ANDRES CASTRO," flanking a central logo of a stylized peach combined with an eagle's head. Horizontal stripes run behind the logo, and the text at the very bottom reads "FOR GEORGIA’S 5TH CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT."

Your health should not depend on your bank account or your zip code.

For too long, corporate interests and entrenched politicians have treated healthcare as a luxury for the lucky few, rather than what it actually is, a fundamental human right.

I was also blown away by your generosityβ€”thank you to everyone who brought a toy for the drive! 🎁 Because of you, we’re going to make the holidays a lot brighter for local kids.

Great conversations and great cause. This was only the first of many, so if you missed it, we’ll see you at the next one!

This year was extreme growth. We rose to the occasion, built real working-class power in GA-05, and we’re just getting started.

Nothing will stop us.
Not the cynics.
Not the lobbyists.
Not the status quo.

Join us in the fight. Volunteer, donate, and bring a friend. (Link in bio.) #gapol

I’m fighting for a $25/hour minimum wage, indexed to inflation, because 40 hours a week should cover rent, groceries, childcare, and a little breathing room, not just keep you trapped on a treadmill while corporations rake in record profits.

Millions of working people are going to lose their health care at the end of the month if Congress doesn't do something.

Mike Johnson and congressional Republicans need to schedule a floor vote to extend the Affordable Care Act subsidies immediately.

Protesters disrupted a lame duck session of the Georgia Public Service Commission on Wednesday, demanding that commissioners not vote on a $20 billion spending plan presented by Georgia Power, which critics say could lock customers into paying higher costs for decades.
