Biased Reporting by WABE and AJC Seek to Undermine My Voice and Demands for Accountability in Political Coverage

Anoa Changa April 20, 2018, 5:30 pm

On the right? Who on the right is embracing this story? Or any of my work?
— Adolfina Villanueva aka Black Justice (@TheWayWithAnoa) April 20, 2018
My voice and demands for accountability in Georgia political coverage have caused biased reporting by WABE and the AJC. There is nothing new about attempts to undermine or discredit Black women. Like Ida B. Wells, I will not be silenced. My voice, my brand, and the spaces I have been blessed to occupy are important […] More

Anoa Changa April 13, 2018, 6:21 am
Support for Trump may be eroding in the south, but those seeking to replace Republicans need to focus on the bigger picture. People need issues and people to vote for not against. More

Atlanta Journal-Constitution Debt Shames Georgia Governor Candidate Stacey Abrams

Anoa Changa March 15, 2018, 11:17 am

Nearly all Americans deal with Debt. 73% actually die in debt. So what was the motivation for @bluestein ‘s #debtshaming of @staceyabrams?
— C. Richardson, Esq. (@theivyinvestor) March 15, 2018
Apparently, you need to be a wealthy elite to run for governor in Georgia — at least that’s what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution seems to be suggesting in the latest hit piece on Stacey Abrams. Georgia 2018: Abrams owes more than $50K to IRS, an entry in the Political Insider Blog, wastes precious space discussing the […] More

Trump is Not A Saving Grace for Democrats in Georgia

Anoa Changa March 13, 2018, 9:19 pm

The saving grace for liberals in this race, ironically, might be @realDonaldTrump, a personage so politically polarizing that the #resist movement growing against him could yield Dems a fighting chance

On #gapol gov's race, my latest for @AtlantaMagazine:https://t.co/3i54EYH4GG
— Sean Keenan (@ThatSeanKeenan) March 9, 2018
Trump being a disaster is not the saving grace for Democrats in Georgia. While the upcoming Governor’s race and other statewide elections pose a challenge for Democrats, winning can be accomplished by learning the lessons from Alabama and building the organizational capacity to win. There are no shortcuts or magical formulas. People need to be […] More

Republican Governors Association is Right: Stacey Whoever is Bad for Their Georgia

Anoa Changa March 8, 2018, 7:04 am
Stacey Whoever is a lame campaign from the Republican Governors Association. Apparently, the Staceys are not significant enough to distinguish. They are both just Atlanta area lawyer’s who are too far left to represent Georgia. Or so they say. When the Republican Governors Association says that “Stacey Whoever” is bad for Georgia, they mean […] More

Casey Cagle Threatening Delta Shows He is Incapable of Leading Georgia Forward

Anoa Changa February 27, 2018, 1:55 pm 1 Comment

I will kill any tax legislation that benefits @Delta unless the company changes its position and fully reinstates its relationship with @NRA. Corporations cannot attack conservatives and expect us not to fight back.
— Casey Cagle (@CaseyCagle) February 26, 2018
Wannabe but not-gonna-be Georgia Governor Casey Cagle, along with Senate Republicans squashed a tax-cut deal for Delta over the company’s decision to end its discount offer for NRA group travel. This heavy-handed tactic is just one more example as to why these people are not fit to lead statewide. I will kill any tax legislation […] More
