AJC: Georgia state senator, protesters detained at Capitol while demanding that ‘every vote count’ 11/13/18

A first-term Atlanta senator was among about a dozen demostrators who were detained during a protest in the state Capitol.

State Sen. Nikema Williams, D-Atlanta, said she was standing with her constituents when officers led her out of the Capitol rotunda and placed plastic restraints on her wrists.

“I was not yelling. I was not chanting,” she said. “I stood peacefully next to my constituents because they wanted their voices to be heard, and now I’m being arrested.”

The protest in the rotunda under the Gold Dome was organized by a local Black Lives Matter group to pressure state officials to ensure all absentee and provisional ballots are tallied. Occasionally, the group of roughly 100 people broke into chants of “count every vote.”

Authorities said the demonstration was broken up after several warnings because of rules that prohibit chanting or yelling while lawmakers are in session. The arrests began around 1:30 p.m. once the House convened in for a special session called by Gov. Nathan Deal.

Williams’ Senate colleagues condemned the lawmaker’s detention.

“When a sitting senator, who is the vice chair of the state Democratic Party, is thrown into a paddy wagon at the state capitol it is a stark reminder that our right to freely assemble is at risk,” said state Sen. Nan Orrock, D-Atlanta.

Williams is the first vice chair of the Democratic Party of Georgia. Party Chairman DuBose Porter said Williams was arrested “for doing her job where she works.”

“Today, (Williams) was arrested at the Georgia State Capitol while standing up for her constituents’ right to peaceful protest and advocating to count every Georgian’s vote,” Porter said. “We stand with her and with all Georgians whose Constitutional rights are at risk. “

Williams and other protesters were taken to the Fulton County jail. There was no immediate detail on how many people were arrested or what charges they would face.

Georgia includes a provision requiring that legislators “shall be free from arrest during sessions of the General Assembly” except for treason, felony or breach of the peace.

I’m walking into that school like

Hate crime. It should qualify as one.

Nevaeh is thirteen years old. This happened at Gompers School in the Philadelphia School District. The school district has not issued any comment, but y'all can make yours:

This happened October 25, 2018. This isn’t some random post that won’t die. It’s happening now. Call. Demand accountability and this be treated as a hate crime.

Assorted highlights, but really the whole thing is terrifying. Remember: it doesn’t count as ‘fringe’ if they’re in public office and/or armed.

HEY THATS ME

so the issue is wat exactly?

Trump, as I know you know, is trying his damnedest to take away a lot of people’s civil and human rights. His supporters necessarily support this -either because they actively hate us, or because whatever “non hateful” reason they have to support Trump is more important to them than the fact he is, as I said, trying to take away a lot of people’s rights. So, when we see that we’ve been sharing the work of a Trump supporter, we want to know about it so we can stop. We don’t want to contribute to Trump supporters getting attention or getting paid for their art, no matter what the art consists of, because the person who made it either wants us dead/deported/fired or kicked out of our house for being trans/etc, or doesn’t care that they’re helping that shit happen. (And the distinction between those two things matters a lot less than you likely think.)

I just messaged the artist on his Instagram. This is NOT him.

Please spread this version. If he had a Twitter he would cross promo his Instagram. At least for the exposure.

and yet the world is silent…

Reblog to spread this. This isn’t something to keep silent on.

I would never want somethin like that to happen! Hell, i condemn it. But … I try to at least keep myself informed a little bit. Are there any good sources for this?

As I’ve posted things on here before about Chinese minority ethnicities, some of them traditionally Muslim, it seemed this was something I should also include.

“storm is overrated” yeah its so annoying how obsessed everyone is with her :/

They try to make people not show up again. Get out there and fucking vote.

Regular reminder to not use this as an excuse to shut people down when they’re trying to talk about their disillusionment with voting.

Reminder that while these bots are concerning, there’s a reason they utilize the guise of leftist/progressive politics. It’s to make y'all do the heavy lifting of shutting down the voices saying “okay, sure you voted, but now we dig in and do the work”

Like, there’s already people in the notes vaguing about leftists and dissatisfaction with the over emphasis on voting as THE solution.

cheating is not “bound to happen” i’ve been alive almost 24 years and not once have i ever thought “hey i wonder what it’d be like to go outside of my relationship and destroy a persons self esteem and ability to trust”

never bitch

cheating is an active choice. its not second nature. and if it is second nature to you, then you need to do some real soul searching and figure out what the fuck went wrong in your life

Yes, you read this correctly.

Americans, this is why it is SO IMPORTANT that you vote in the upcoming November election.

“Sorry lil Jimmy we can’t let you be fostered by this loving family because they’re Jewish. Stay put and keep attending our mandatory Bible study while we rake in more money until we can find a proper Christian family.”

Does this mean that Jewish kids who end up in foster care couldn’t be placed in Jewish homes? (Or Muslim or Catholic kids in Muslim or Catholic homes, etc.)

If the private foster agency in question takes them from the public system and places them in a group home, yes. And for all we know, those are exactly the kids they’re after, the young non-Protestant ones who they want to convert.

The first “religious freedom” lawsuits were never about baking cakes, they were about laying a foundation.

No wonder God hates North Carolina..

As a person who lives in SC, I am 100% unsurprised to see more blatant Anti-Semitism.
