Jason Dozier introduced an ordinance to prohibit building new self-storage facilities within the Beltline overlay.

Should've done this sooner.

1/ Last year, 32 people died while in federal detention, making it the deadliest year for the agency in more than two decades. Two weeks ago, Renee Good was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Today, Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was killed by federal officers in the same city.

Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

1/ The federal government shutdown is threatening food security for more than 1.4 million Georgians, including 640,000 children, who rely on SNAP benefits to eat. Those benefits could stop as soon as November 1.

🚨 It’s official: I’ve drawn an opponent for this November’s election. Everything we’ve worked for in District 4—fighting displacement, expanding affordable housing, building safer streets, and ensuring our community’s voice is heard—is now on the line.

Bowser: "I think I speak for all Americans -- we don't believe it's legal to use the American military against American citizens on American soil."

I'm shipping up to ATL! Great set by @dropkickmurphys.com at today's @unite4vets.bsky.social rally. Awesome meeting Ken Casey and joining alongside him and thousands of others in solidarity with our military veterans.

Veteran jobs, healthcare, and essential VA services are under attack. I'm in our nation's capital to stand with fellow veterans to defend the benefits, jobs, and dignity that each generation has earned through their service. Join us! 📍 National Mall, Washington, DC 🕐 2:00PM 🎟️ www.unite4veterans.org

Three elections. One unified goal. Build a better Atlanta. From day one, our campaign has been powered by people. Volunteers, neighbors, and supporters have sat with me on my front steps sharing ideas, making calls, knocking doors, and building a vision for a stronger District 4.

It's 404 Day, Atlanta! This week, we launched the Atlanta Local Legacy Program, a first-of-its-kind initiative to celebrate and support the businesses that have shaped our city for 30+ years.

Democrats better have a Third Reconstruction vision when the recession hits.

We’re making a mistake if “Democrat” doesn’t mean “Third Reconstruction” a year from now

Thank you @healthbeat.org for allowing me to share my thoughts about today's layoffs at the CDC. The CDC has been instrumental in keeping Americans safe and healthy and weakening the CDC only means more preventable deaths, greater economic harm, and a less secure nation.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

NEW: Military veterans are launching Democratic bids for the Va. House in deep-red districts — citing concerns over Trump, threats to democracy, and national security. They’re challenging GOP strongholds with service-first campaigns. #VALeg virginiamercury.com/2025/03/28/m...

It's always a good day to remember that literally every Confederate general was literally a traitor.

Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?

Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.

The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isn’t.

How is "Administration declares itself above the law" not the giant screaming headline everywhere

Remembering Kevin Drum talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/remem...

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.

Thank you to @fox5atlanta.bsky.social for allowing me to share my thoughts. The livelihoods of small business owners are being jeopardized by billionaires like Kelly Loeffler and Elon Musk and we won't stand for it.

In 20 years there’s going to be a section of the US history curriculum that lists key events in US racism as redlining, white flight, and the 2025 purge of racism from history books and government records

Earlier this week, Governing Magazine covered my efforts to encourage local governments to respond to federal layoffs with hiring initiatives. These layoffs disproportionately hurt cities like Atlanta and I'm proud that we're a national leader in this work. www.governing.com/workforce/lo...

1/ Thank you the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for covering this critical issue and including my perspective in their reporting. The impact of these cuts on veterans in Georgia and across the country cannot be ignored. www.ajc.com/news/georgia...

Mr. Sood's death was not only tragic, but entirely preventable. I'm proud to join alongside CM Farokhi to not only demand the restoration of this crossing, but for Atlanta to reinvest in the Peachtree shared street experience that was promised to our citizens long ago.

It's that time again! Join us for our next Atlanta City Council District 4 townhall, next Saturday, March 1 at 11am. We'll be kicking things off Plywood Place at Lee and White. See you there!

Trump is already in the process of illegally abolishing the Department of Education and Department of Labor so the useless Democratic strategists advising us to keep our powder dry on USAID should just go away forever. Either you fight for the principle and all the agencies, or none of them

I don't know what to expect. The first Trump administration was full of people I disagreed with, even hated, but they were people who had a basic respect for the Constitution. That's not the case in this second term and I have no idea what's coming next.

Last year, the Atlanta City Council went toe to toe with big tech and won. By prohibiting data centers in core neighborhoods across the city, we helped protect our neighborhoods and preserved spaces for housing, retail, and community gathering places.

1/ As an Afghanistan veteran who served alongside our Afghan allies and as an elected official currently serving the City of Atlanta, I am especially dismayed by the Trump administration's decision to cancel flights for nearly 1,660 Afghan refugees.

Welcome to Bluesky, Mayor!

"Donald the Dove" 🙄

Paying our final respects to Georgia's native son, the late, great, President Jimmy Carter. Extremely thankful for his service to our country, to the State of Georgia, and to the people of Atlanta.

Leaving behind many great moments in 2024 and looking forward to an even more amazing 2025. Happy New Year y'all! 🎊

Atlanta is leading a national movement of cities to challenge the proliferation of data centers, and I am proud to have played a pivotal role in driving this effort forward.

Deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Senator Vincent Fort. As a novice organizer working in NPU-V, I was proud to know Senator Fort had our back at every step. And as a newly elected official, I've always heeded his call to do right by our communities. What a legacy. He will be sorely missed.

Sad, sad news: Vincent Fort, a longtime champion of liberal causes in Georgia, dies at 68 ajc.com/politics/vin...

1 District 4 is home to several city-run recreation centers — including Dunbar Neighborhood Center, James Orange Recreation Center, and C.A. Scott Recreation Center — that are well-positioned to serve as critical resources during extreme weather events.

Go Dawgs

After widespread public outcry, legislation that would have gone against City Council's recent data center ban and built one in the West End was ultimately squashed. #atlpol www.ajc.com/news/atlanta...

Community matters – that’s why I’m on the board of @chamberlainvets.bsky.social and why I’m excited about their work bringing veterans and volunteers together on behalf of our American values. Support them and help grow our community with a gift this #GivingTuesday: www.chamberlainnetwork.us/donate
