Doesn't matter which one was your candidate, because all of them altogether barely got half the votes Kelsea did.

Atlanta has become unaffordable. Rent is too high, we’re decades behind on mass transit, and the wealth gap grows larger each year.  We deserve affordable housing, a green future, and an economy for the 99%. That’s why I’m running for Atlanta City Council District 2. youtu.be/wGRFpNk8XvM?...

Screenshot of a tweet by a user named “FarmerRigz” with the handle “@FarmerRigzDTS.” The tweet reads:
“Years of transgenders harassing me and abortion being essentially a sacrament in my state. I have to stand my ground and fight for my religion here. Christ is Lord I am sorry.”

Below, there is a Readers’ Context box that says the user posted this during a police standoff where he held his four-week-old daughter hostage; he was later killed by police after wounding a deputy and killing a K‑9. The child was unharmed. Three news links (wagmtv.com, necn.com, and newscentermaine.com) appear. The screenshot also shows the tweet’s date, “12:34 PM · Feb 3, 2025,” and view count, “4.1M Views.”

It’s impossible to know what to say in response to Trump’s latest slew of executive orders. They want it to be hard for us to keep up. They want us to feel helpless, defeated, and overwhelmed to the point that we check out indefinitely. We cannot let them do that.
