Join us tomorrow at noon, near 225 Peachtree Street, for a press conference to demand the city fulfill its promise to build a raised crosswalk. In addition, please sign the petition calling for change. RSVP and sign: www.letspropelatl.org/peachtreepre...

With approved designs and funding in place, yet no sign of action, we say: a safer Peachtree Street should not be this difficult — nor this delayed. With lives lost at this very spot, additional delay will put more people at risk for injury and death.

Hey Georgia folks, is your employer on this list of firms with ICE/CBP contracts?

I'd love for this (from last weekend) to not be about winter weather and instead just be a general statement about keeping cars off the road. 😅

Atlanta’s overall population is about 46% Black, but its homeless population was about 80% Black last year. Metro Atlanta’s homeless population has been on the rise for the past three years. atlanta.capitalbnews.org/atlanta-home...

Colorful sunset over Downtown Atlanta, as seen tonight from the window of an in-motion MARTA bus.

good morning from the Edgewood Kudzu Valley

All the obstacles Atlanta politicians putting up to make it difficult to expand transit be like

Micah McClure of Black Male Initiative Georgia says the actions ICE is undertaking are the same actions that police forces have undertaken in Black neighborhoods for decades.

Maybe a hundred people are gathered outside the ICE field office in Downtown Atlanta to protest against the Trump administrations immigration policy and deportation campaign.

“[They] didn’t just take our child’s life, they took our lives as well.” - Courtney Thompkins, mother of Quanisha Ball, who was hit and killed by a driver while she was crossing Scott Boulevard in North Decatur. https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/atlanta-pedestrian-deaths-exceed-homicides/

By tracking zoning changes, educating neighbors, and pressuring elected officials, Atlanta residents are winning battles against data center expansion. https://atlanta.capitalbnews.org/atlanta-communities-fight-data-centers/

“A 21-year-old woman who is eight months pregnant and in a state of medical distress is being deported from Atlanta on Wednesday afternoon, a human rights attorney said …” “The mother was deemed to have a credible fear interview and permitted to file an asylum application,” the attorney said.

Three years today. The cops are already killing protesters—it's not a line we haven't crossed, it's a thing already happening—but lots of people never heard about or paid attention to this one. So it goes

ATL: this is about two miles from the atlanta airport and is in a densely populated area. the evacuation & shelter-in-place orders extend a half mile from the plant (rough illustration by yours truly below)

It’s a few years old, but here’s the little MARTA station I made on my animal crossing island lol

Rainy weekend in Marietta, but it needs to be said. What happened to Renée Nicole Good in Minneapolis was uncalled for and should concern us all. ICE operates everywhere, including metro ATL. This isn’t about national politics. Ask your elected officials what they’re doing to keep our neighbors safe

Atlanta protests against ICE.

A few hundred protesting ICE at the Atlanta field office

hi! i would like to reup my request for ANY AND ALL PEOPLE FIGHTING DATA CENTERS IN THEIR COMMUNITIES TO PLEASE REACH OUT TO ME i am now covering data center conflicts for @heatmap.news my email is [email protected]

It is past midnight and marta is still running trains every two minutes for the Hoosier faithful leaving Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Atlanta's transit turnaround is real, and I couldn't be happier

how i’d fix atlanta

Hundreds of protestors are on the march from the ICE office in downtown Atlanta to the Georgia State Capitol building. They are calling anti-Trump slogans after ICE officers killed a woman in Minneapolis on Wednesday and shot two more in Portland on Thursday.

Walking out of the Dunwoody MARTA station, my kids commented how our destination was one of the closest to the station but not actually close. Then we talked about the mostly empty MARTA parking deck as we walked past it, before crossing the five lane road. youtu.be/HZwf0au0vDE

Despite *gestures at everything*, Atlanta is a cycling city

I wish Atlanta had a last name so I could make it have silly middle names

Happy New Year

I'm embarrassingly excited about MARTA's installation of new fare gates and Breeze machines. The broken gates at stations are going away in a few months and that's great news. mailchi.mp/itsmarta.com...

I ❤️ MY BMW (Bus, MARTA, Walking)

This photo my friend posted took my breath away. Especially with someone’s belongings there. What a ghoulish ad

The map needs to show frequent buses (15 min or less) and future BRT routes. Not just rail. Make the frequent bus routes and extension of rail. I feel that many riders do not ride buses because they don't know the routes w/o extensive research.

New marta system map just dropped. It's a huge improvement in legibility, but with two flaws: 1. The Sweet Auburn Market Streetcar stop (top left) is missing 2. Unlike other systems maps that preview future expansions, it does not have the future Rapid A BRT!

How would @alexip718.com fix Atlanta? Immigrants pay taxes, work hard, send their kids to public schools, and build better futures for their communities. It's time to let them vote in local elections as well. how-id-fix-atlanta.ghost.io/how-alex-ip-...

Okay so we have the Stadler CQ400, but where’s the Waldorf CQ400

The experience of being a pedestrian on Atlanta streets -- especially ones that connect to MARTA -- needs a lot of work. But when I'm riding the train, I get to take a break from those issues and just enjoy the view. Atlanta looks great from a train window.

This is a CQ400 stan account. These trains are sooooo sleek and advanced, and I'm proud that my city is rolling them out (pun intended)
