Good afternoon Atlanta, it's a nice day for a bike ride amirite ☀️

INBOX: @ajc.com found that through the first nine months of the second Trump administration, ICE recorded more than 8,500 confirmed arrests in Georgia, the fourth-most prolific state behind TX, FL, and CA. Fewer than 1/3 of those arrested (!) were convicted criminals, and 112 (!!) were children.

#BREAKING: The FBI raided a Fulton County’s election hub Wednesday, an action apparently connected to the Trump administration’s long-held, but unproven, belief that Fulton’s handling of the 2020 presidential election was rife with fraud. Read more: www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Kirkwood showing up today Atlanta, GA

ATL: let's get together in Kirkwood and show some solidarity tonight 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

It should not be possible to flip flop like this and derail a project. Voters voted for beltline rail. Residents PAID for it. It's a shovel ready project. There is no reason work shouldn't have already began

The new LIT infrastructure on 5th street is proving to be a great investment. #Atlanta #urbanism

It actually matters whether the man who tried to overthrow the government is in jail or is free. It actually matters whether his paramilitaries are funded or not. It actually matters whether are consequences for treason and sedition or not.

Sometimes when I see signs like this blocking the sidewalk they mysteriously end up in the road...

Me out front vs. my son humming happily to himself in his cozy compartment. "Why are you cold, Mom? I'm not cold at all!"

No way we could actually get 18 inches of snow right...? Right?

Unbeknownst to the public, a small group of officials from the city of Atlanta, the Atlanta Beltline and MARTA voted to stop all work on the Eastside Beltline light rail project more than six months ago: www.ajc.com/news/2026/01...

If you have one, a Fulton Library card can access @ajc.com stories: www.fulcolibrary.org/resources-ty...

this is why we can't have nice things

Well, now I can't legally ride an e-bike in NJ. There are so many disabled folks who use ebikes and trikes when we can't get driver's licenses. This is really crappy.

Um I'm sorry what

Life with a toddler

Sound Transit ridership is up 24% from 2019, and new extensions are brining in more riders. System expansion is part of the transit systems success but so it’s Seattle’s decision in the 1990s to “grow up, not out” — creating higher-density land use that helps transit thrive. @yonahfreemark.com

This probably makes me some kind of freak but I actually secretly like riding my bike in this weather and I was disappointed the last couple weeks because of how warm its been

Five points station

It's funny how every big city in North America has that one otherwise totally unremarkable strip mall way out in the suburbs that has been taken over by Asian restaurateurs and is now an internationally recognized foodie destination.

This is actually good news. Next let's open the US market to Chinese EVs

NEWS: A day after the Minneapolis shooting, Secretary Noem quietly signed a new policy barring congressional visits to ICE facilities without a week's advance notice. That policy change led to three MN Dems being blocked from accessing an ICE facility today. www.politico.com/news/2026/01...

This is Minneapolis: You pick up groceries for a neighbor who is out of food and can't leave home without fear of abduction. When you get home, you see neighbors talking about how someone was abducted from the opposite corner of the intersection while you were inside the store shopping.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Checked out the newest completed Beltline segment today. Very short and disconnected for now, but eventually will be a good bike/ped route through northwest neighborhoods. #Atlanta #urbanism #Beltline

The car that dreamed of being a train www.azfamily.com/2026/01/08/w...

Non-league Macclesfield FC pull off the biggest shock in FA Cup history, knocking out Premier League opposition and holders Crystal Palace. 117 league places between them. What a performance, what a result 👏

But yeah, "safety is a shared responsibility".

I got passed by a smart car the other day and I was pleasantly surprised by how non-threatening it was. Way better than getting passed by a big black Escalade I wish more people drove smart cars

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

It could always be worse; you could have to live IN the dumpster fire

“Transportation…here in the US tends to play out a bit like the Stanford prison experiment where drivers are the prison guards, abusive & sociopathic once they're in their designated role, and the rest of us just walking around minding our own business are the inmates” youtube.com/watch?v=wVjx...

ICE murdered an innocent person in public. there are multiple videos showing this. you have to imagine that whatever happens next changes everything forever. we either stop this now or it gets much, much worse.

Me about to get on another elevator: but what are the chances I get stuck in an elevator twice in the same day? 🤔

Stuck in the elevator right now wtf MARTA

New in PN: Corporation for Public Broadcasting's patriotic goodbye "We’re in thrall to a con man who denigrates the very idea of truth and uses media only to distract and divide. And so the CPB board members broke their plowshares lest they be beaten into swords by a deranged demagogue."

This is the kind of sentence in articles about transit cuts that make me furious. People don't just "have less opportunity for transportation access." They are confined to their homes, miss work, skip school, forgo medical care. This drives people deeper into poverty, and often, *it kills them.*

Now, this is the kind of Christmas content I needed

Had to ride it myself and y’all the new Washington/Courtland cycle track in Atlanta looks & feels *GREAT*!!! Drivers will be dumb at the pedestrian crossing (& already squished one of the K71 bollards)- but it’s also an intuitive crossing for pedestrians. Shoutout GSU & ATLDOT for the win here!!!

Two members of my household are sick and we were supposed to host Christmas Eve with all the family so we had to cancel On the one hand this is a huge bummer. On the other hand its like the feeling of relief when you're super stressed at work and then all your afternoon meetings get canceled

A recent global review published in Frontiers in Pharmacology found that of 367 medicinal plant species studied over the past two decades, climate change has reduced suitable habitats for 106 species. This article was first published by @mongabay.com. www.thexylom.com/post/traditi...

My 7yo started calling me "broski" and the clear response to this was to escalate and beat him at his own game. "Hey brotato" "How's it going Bro-bi-wan Kenobi?" "See ya later btostachio" Anyway, I won.

Brilliant piece about economics of sprawl & much more. "At an individual level, we understand that an easy mistake is to let one's cost structure increase faster than one's means. But our economic measures don't consider that we might do this as a society." drafts.interfluidity.com/2025/11/12/r...

CBS News may not want you to see its CECOT reporting, but I'm happy to share this powerful video that our team produced this year.

Cars Ruin Society is quite the Chapter asserting that 🚗🚙 have isolated us from each other by making streets inhospitable #LifeAfterCars

This post makes me feel better because twice this week on MARTA I took my bike on an escalator because the elevator was not available

I do have to question whether going around the train making sure people don't fall asleep is actually the best use of police resources
