The ‘Georgia Diagnosis’ – some bipartisan, some hyper-partisan: the Docter (Au) is in
Dr. Michelle Au & Sterling Thrill graced The Ron Show Friday.
- Hey it’s Ron; earlier in the week I’d highlighted some sound legislative offerings from Republican women in the Georgia general assembly that I hoped Democrats would join in on and push across the finish line. There’s another, giving pharmacists the ability to prescribe HIV prevention medication, again, penned by a Republican. This is encouraging to see.
- What’s discouraging, of course, is that the same Georgia GOP saw fit earlier in the week to “poison-pill” a bill both parties were enthusiastic about – HB 54 – by adding anti-trans language into it.
- To discuss some of that refreshing (and rare) bipartisanship – but also the more troubling legislation making its way through this session, is Dr. Michelle Au, representative for Georgia’s 50th House District, and host of the new podcast “Georgia Diagnosis.”
- Rev. Senator Raphael Warnock added an amendment to DHS funding in an attempt end DHS/ICE purchasing warehouses in Oakwood and Social Circle, GA, two small communities sure to be overwhelmed by facilities their infrastructure cannot handle; the kind of treatment op/ed writer Patricia Murphy called ‘unconscionable.’
- Then I got my mental wellness break with comedian / political satirist Sterling Thrill. Between ‘Bad Bunny’ triggering Megyn Kelly & Pam Bondi going full “Karen” with her flash cards, we had plenty to chuckle about – and did.
- Lastly, an op/ed I saw from Mariah Parker & Dominique Grant at Fair Play ATL reminded us all that Atlanta’s Olympic legacy isn’t just tarnished by a bombing, but a lack of positive impact – and its negative impacts on housing affordability. It’s their push to insist that Atlanta hosting eight FIFA World Cup matches in 2026 invests its windfall in positive change and a lack of ICE in the city’s streets.
