Out with the old Breeze cards, in with the new (and tap to pay, wherever new equipment has been installed - still a work in progress). Here’s a breakdown of the Better Breeze changes that start TODAY: www.ajc.com/news/2026/03... (🎁 link)

Atlanta voted for More MARTA. A decade later, there isn't much 'more' about it atlpresscollective.com/2026/03/10/m... @atlpresscollective.com 🖋️Teresa Fang 📷John Arthur Brown @johnarthuratl.bsky.social #photojournalist #localnews

NOT A JOKE: marta board member Devon Hudson, a real estate construction and management firm principal representing DeKalb County, asked this morning in a meeting whether the World Cup would be a "Super Bowl"-sized event or like "a big concert". In fact, around 300,000-800,000 fans are expected:

Life After Cars LIVE is THIS FRIDAY! As we gather at the historic Plaza Theatre, we’re making it easy to get there without a car, because… that’s kind of the point. 😉 📍 March 13th at 8:00PM | Tickets: givebutter.com/lifeaftercars. 🎟️

This doesn’t surprise me at all, Atlanta has plenty of better movie theatres, but I hope Colony Square will continue to improve and survive roughdraftatlanta.com/2026/02/27/i...

Beautiful image of a slip lane becoming a new sidewalk in NW Atlanta! I love seeing slip lanes go away; these are awful spots for pedestrians. Creating nicer places for walking involves hundreds of little changes like this. 🙌 Image source: Hasbun Construction www.linkedin.com/posts/hasbun...

In the past year, metro Atlanta saw more evictions than all of New York City—despite having *one-quarter* the renters. Multiple Atlanta apartment complexes averaged an eviction a day. "The numbers are mind-blowing," said Grace Hartley of Princeton's Eviction Lab.

It took me an embarrassingly long time to realize that when Atlantans talk about places being "accessible," they usually mean "there's a bunch of free parking near the door." I had optimistically assumed they mean there were great sidewalks, crosswalks, buses, and ADA ramps.

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...

WAIT HOLD UP ALYSA LIU WAS ONE OF THE IN-TRAIN ANNOUNCERS FOR THE MUNI METRO L TARAVAL RELAUNCH WTFFFF

Congrats to BART rider and Oakland legend Alysa Liu on winning a gold medal at the Olympics and making the Bay Area proud!

Drivers on some roads in Decatur will notice lower speed limits. The speeds were reduced on College Avenue, Scott Boulevard, South Candler Street, Clairemont Avenue and Commerce Drive.

GEORGIA — “beloved teacher” Dr. Linda Davis killed in a car crash as ICE chased a man through the streets: www.wtoc.com/2026/02/16/s... Even the ICE release (which blames Dems🤔) says his only crime was being undocumented: www.ice.gov/news/release...

We've done numbers. We've tightened our belt. We've figured out how much we need to raise from the community to keep our work going. We need you to help us raise $65,000 to ACPC keep operating at the level you expect from us until the second half of the year, when most of our revenue comes in.

I got to use the streetcar today! After I had a great lunch from Afro Dish at the Municipal Market and bought some groceries at one of the produce stands at the Market, I took the streetcar a couple of stops so I could be a little closer for my walk back home. $1 (paid on the Breeze app). Worth it.

IF ONLY ATLANTA HAD THE MONEY TO BUILD A SIMILAR PROJECT WITH TRAMS ON GRASS, SEPARATED FROM CARS 👀

ICE killed a teacher in Georgia today when they chose to chase a man who posed no danger and had no criminal history.

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...

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.

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
