This is so brave! My goodness.

Love this!! Free bathroom on the beltline!

Make no mistake. The forces against BL rail are the same ones that gave us Cop City. And the only Atlanta they're protecting is theirs.

Just saw a video with Brian McGowan in it, and all the vitriol I have for him came rushing back. $5B for 'the gulch' Centennial Yards, reneging on affordable housing and paying a nominal fee and privatizing our downtown with public dollars.

We have an ajc article i agree with!!!! #BeltlineRailNow www.ajc.com/opinion/2026...

@urbanizeatl.bsky.social letter to the editor. Atlantans want the best for Atlanta, and our leadership continues to treat us like we don't matter... while taking out tax dollars. atlanta.urbanize.city/post/letter-...

They're growing up now... but closing tens of schools in the same breath and taking dollars from children for surveillance cameras/police... trash trash trash.

My mayor hates atlantans, man.

Annnnnnddd there you have it. The APF just saying the quiet part out loud about the TADs in Atlanta

Around 50 people have signed up for public comment so far at the Community Development and Human Services committee hearing on the mayor’s proposed extension of six tax allocation districts to pay for his Neighborhood Reinvestment Initiative.

The last thing you see before opening ChatGPT

This photo of Andy Kim in the moments before ICE gassed everyone at Delaney Hall is going into the history books. We need more of this from our electeds.

Fingers crossed for Georgia -- www.legis.ga.gov/legislation/...

For the umpteenth time since figuring this out in 2018, Atlanta has a source of $100Ms, without a politically impossible new GA tax law. Make commercial trophy towers & data centers pay tax on fair market value. And stop tax breaks for projects that don't need them.

So many bangers in this article!! And a "captured minority" is exactly how I feel!!!

"Over time it became difficult to distinguish the policies of Black and white mayors, as both were beholden to the police and corporations in their cities and thereby unwilling (and often lacking any real power) to advance policies to help rank-and-file Black Americans." Whew. That's Andre Dickens.

An automotive executive writing an editorial against transit is about as helpful as a tobacco executive writing an editorial against indoor smoking bans.

This guy thinks bc his family put down money for the Beltline he gets more of a say than the 100k+ Atlantans that voted on the More MARTA referendum, pay taxes, & live & work here each day. We need to stop letting corporate billionaires run our city or nothing will ever change.

As for his idiotic proposal to supplant mass transit w/ autonomous cars- it’s too brain dead to take seriously, but shows a clear lack of understanding of the scale of transit needed to get people reliably around the city each day w/out exacerbating car traffic

No public restrooms, water fountains, benches, picnic tables, and certainly not rail. And the billionaires and property owners want to keep it that way: privatized, exclusive, not for the people who already lived here or could afford to if we planned it that way.

3 of these neighborhoods he mentions are in my district and (esp o4w) have been heavily gentrified thanks to the way the Beltline has been carried out. What has driven the development of the Beltline is profit motive: high end retail & dining — not investment for the public good.

Georgia phoning in!

This is extra horrific, because georgians get water from the chattahoochee and YESTERDAY we were on a boil water advisory because the power went out. "intense rainstorm that officials and environmental advocates say may have triggered overflows in Atlanta’s combined sewer system." Not good!!!!!

The more we learn about data centers, the less we find to love: www.techradar.com/pro/arizona-...

1. Erin Brockovich is back, and this time she’s taking on the AI industry, calling Big Tech’s data center boom the next major environmental shakedown facing American communities. She launched a self-reporting map at brockovichdatacenter.com, and within just one week, more than 1,600 residents had

I hope this happens in all states!!!

$3B is too high for the people of Louisiana, but not for data centers... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

These oligarchs control what you see and what you hear, where you are allowed to go, what elections you are allowed to participate and what your purse strings can fund; and through self-funded paramilitaries and surveillance cameras, what you are allowed to say and do. Atlanta is not a democracy.

These data centers do not produce jobs. These centers raise electricity rates and create electric shortages. These centers use tens of millions of gallons of water and discharge toxic water, causing environmental pollution and noise pollution. Why are they getting billion-dollar tax breaks???

"Why is it that killing a single person is seen as murder but killing masses is excused if you are a politician?" Bill Foege

The chairman of Cox Enterprises, parent of the AJC, is using their news outlet to condemn Beltline rail. That's ridiculous. City leaders need to realize it as such. Arguing against rail transit in a city that's starved for its growth, and that is already funding it with a tax, is bad enough. 1/

Andre Dickens would never.

The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management has issued a boil water advisory for the downtown corridor due to an internal power failure at the Hemphill Water Treatment Plant. Power has been restored. This advisory is out of an abundance of caution. See maps for impacted areas.

I fully expect to be reimbursed for all the PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS collected from the PRIVATE @atlantabeltline.org and all future dollars to be rescinded. What a scam.

And today atlanta is on a boil water advisory!!! www.decaturish.com/metro_atl/ci...

Frantically texting all my neighbors!!!

Housing density advocates fear Atlanta’s zoning code rewrite will deliver more of the same “It’s definitely not an overhaul, and that’s pretty much by design. They’re not trying to upzone."

A reminder that Tim Keane, Atlanta's zoning code rewrite architect who fell out with the corrupt and authoritarian Mayor Andre Dickens in 2022, has since taken planning chief roles in Boise, Calgary, Charleston, S.C., and Baltimore. Meanwhile, Atlanta's zoning code rewrite enters its second decade.

But it was just an oopsies in Fayetteville when Quality Technology Services stole 30 million gallons of water without paying a penny.

I never thought of "the eastside" being a euphemism for white!

Pay a fortune to attend matches, but instead end up as a foreigner in ICE detention without trial. Or stay at home for nothing and watch them on TV. That's a pretty simple choice. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Most of what we’re seeing now in the food price chain probably predates the conflict" Foster -- you mean price gouging?? Also, farmers aren't planting seeds this season which means there will be no harvest!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

Been praying on their downfall.

Nobody balder than caruso

Jeff made survivor 50 about him, and that just showed up with fire making.... yikes.

Very heartbroken for DRC as even more data comes out about the ebola outbreak.

Ugh!!!!!! Get out of here, Joe!

Waymo amphibious than expected! (pic by friend's daughter's)
