Rest in power Lorie
A year ago we went to @sendavidperdue office to talk healthcare. Lorie told Perdue's aides that she was unable to receive Medicaid (not old enough) & fell in the insurance gap for the ACA & that she worried about what

. would happen if she got really sick. We asked the aides what Sen. Perdue was going to do about this. What was his plan? The only statement we could get was "Sen. Perdue doesn't think the ACA is the way to go." Okay, what does he propose? Crickets. 2/3
Lorie passed away early this morning after a short illness that was treatable if she'd had health insurance. The hospital and doctors worked to get her approved for Medicaid but too little, too late. Bob, our sincerest condolences. 3/3

Report from peace marshal at protest after killing of #RayshardBrooks in Atlanta.
"There's a lot to unpack from yesterday but I'll keep it to myself or do it offline because I'm not going to center myself or my experiences. However I do want to talk about one thing that 1/13

& protestors). APD was on the streets and a large presence of GA State Patrol was on the interstate. At one point in the afternoon, the protestors decide to "take the interstate" & the organizers & the group I am with do our best to talk them out of it. 3/13
