RIP, Tom. Journalists could honor him by checking out whether any of the magnolias dug up for Marvel movie filming really survived... creativeloafing.com/content-2184...

'Lifelong troublemaker' ain't a bad epitaph. I only knew Tom in his city arborist role. He bravely tried to protect the tree canopy as City leaders bent over backwards to let builders ignore tree protection. Before Housing activists get mad, you can have both homes & trees if you're smart.

Matthew was always out there shining light on many #AtlantaWay shenanigans (& worse). He once exposed a contract-for-deed seller, Divvy, by becoming a customer. They sued him claiming he tricked them by becoming a customer with purpose to pursue consumer protection claims. He won (settled). RIP.

Atlanta City Council meeting Oct. 6, 2025, live thread.

Mario Guevara is our neighbor. We do not tolerate his unconstitutional detention by the United States government.

It’s with sadness that we commemorate the passing of Matthew Cardinale, 1981-2025, the founder and editor of Atlanta Progressive News. Cardinale fought constantly for government transparency and accountability through local news publishing.

EXCLUSIVE: A new analysis by The Xylom's @alexip718.com shows for the first time just how much America’s top research institutions have grown to depend on H-1B skilled workers — and how this delicate balance might be disrupted by U.S. President Donald Trump’s crackdown on legal immigration.

"It's really a case about a journalist who was targeted because of his filming of police and ICE. And so it feels like it's part of a much broader censorship regime that we're seeing." - @attorneynora.bsky.social with @kristaldixon.bsky.social of @axios.com #FreeMario www.axios.com/local/atlant...

“Mentally, if we're seeing that someone who's innocently walking down the street gets attacked simply because of the way that they look, that is causing more and more irrationality on what feels safe and what doesn't feel safe," said Eliamonic Lopez, a licensed professional counselor

"I think a lot of times scientists might want to just put their heads down and try to do what they can within their sphere. I think it’s really important for us as Americans to speak up and speak out. I hope my fellow Asian Americans, whether they’re in science or healthcare, will also speak out."
