This Wednesday at the rescheduled Zoning meeting, City Council will hear legislation to allow the construction of a data center near the West End station. Have an opinion? Email the Zoning Committee members! Read the legislation here: atlantacityga.iqm2.com/Citizens/Det...

Got it. So, CBP/ICE self-appoints itself as an extra-judicial entity, serving as judge, jury, and executioner based on some hazy and subjective notion of "corruption"? So, I guess any federal agency can just decide it's now Judge Dredd? Is the FDA going to start issuing speeding tickets, too?

This letter is pitch perfect, and precisely the message that Democrats must rally around. It's time for the opposition party to uplift its leaders, empower its youth, strengthen its backbone, and not wait until the midterms to fight against the State Terror (h/t to M. Gessen) of this fascist regime.

Murdering protestors is what dictators do, and it’s what Republican leaders in Georgia want unleashed on our state. Not another penny should go to this rogue agency, and existing funding should instead go to funding what we actually need.

We don't need a new tax. We need to apply our existing property tax to trophy commercial and data centers professionally and without corruption.

I don’t want fucking Greenland, I want fucking healthcare.

What happens when you ask other countries to lend 🇺🇸 money, so that 🇺🇸 can invade said countries with the IOU? They don't. Then what happens? USD devaluation + 30yr T-bill yields spiking + insane debt-to-GDP ratios, on top of unemployment, inflation, etc. Magical thinking isn't going to fix this.

I wonder if iPhone Lockdown Mode would mitigate this tracking?

Zohran walks around the city Crosswalks cannot bar him Neither poor bike infrastructure nor bad pedestrian design impede Nor does barbed wire scar him

Instead of whatever this is, we should have a government getting lots of new homes and apartments built, lots of clean energy built, lots of high speed rail and transit and bike lanes built, human rights for everyone, economic & healthcare opportunities for all, & innovation that leads the world.

🚀 Big updates to marta.fail - tracking reliability with #MARTA, #Atlanta's transit system. Now, statistics on bus trip cancellations (systemwide + routes) are tracked in near-real time + historic data. Service alerts, still (‼️) only posted to Twitter, are syndicated to Bluesky @ alerts.marta.fail

Information wants to be free. Oppression makes that process go a bit quicker.

I'm trying to parse the new zoning, but it's a bit dense. Trying to figure out, at least for my sake, what's changing with R-4A...

It is immensely disappointing that @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social lost his election, as I was hoping he would be the check on these unaccountable power structures that make a mockery of our entire NPU/neighborhood governance system.

Very interesting numbers. Way more under-50s voted than over-50s, despite the elders' usual higher turnout rate. It's a young district. Probably much higher 18-30 and 31-50 turnout percents than in past D2 elections, too, thanks to the vigorous ground campaign.

I read that this morning, and just noped out the @nytimes.com app. If it wasn't for the recipes, I'd cancel the entire thing. I may just cancel anyway. Like literally, what the fuck is this? Did Jews ruin the workplace, maybe the gays too? Anyone but straight, white, “Christian” men, of course.

TODAY—Please call Senator Jon Ossoff. He's one of 8 Democratic/Independent Senators planning a "compromise" with the GOP for "assurances" on healthcare. We're not fooled! * 202-224-3521 (DC) * 470-786-7800 (ATL) Suggested script follows: 1/6

Got an Overstreet mailer from Atlanta REALTORS PAC 🙄, noting she wants "responsible [housing?] growth we can live with." So, a coded NIMBY message from her lobbyists and zilch on affordable housing 🤮 while @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social's platform has affordable housing as his top priority. #GaPol

JFC. What an unforced political (and ethical error). It is grotesque to sit on a $15 BILLION surplus of OUR tax money, and let children and families starve because of some BS political posturing. Why even have a State gov't if it cares so little for the lives of its children and families?

It's something where GA sits on $15b in reserves, yet can't manage to spend a dime to make the lives of Georgians any easier - from not mitigating the Nov. suspension of SNAP, to just quality of life stuff, like state park fees. Yet another government that cares for itself and not for its residents

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

#Atlanta Early Voting update! 📣 With 8 days of Early Voting completed, 2025 has outpaced 2021's election cycle by 19%, outpacing est. population growth of 4.3% between 2020 and 2024. Assuming we continue this trend, final turnout could exceed the usual expectations of 10% to 20%. So who's voting?

My goddess. I remember Republicans were howling over taxpayer-funded "bailouts" under TARP in the great recession recovery. Now they themselves want to bail out an entire f-ing country being economically burned to the ground by an Ayn Rand fanboy. Yet, there's no 💰 to feed people for Thanksgiving.

Early MARTA plans called for 97 miles of rail across five counties. For @ajc.com, I did a deep-dive into why that and other ideas never fully came to fruition: www.ajc.com/news/2025/10...

JFC. This is giving me Man in the High Castle vibes 😧 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man...

Our marchers in the Little Five Points Parade got a surprise visit from Rohit Malhotra, Indivisible ATL’s choice Atlanta City Council President. Polls open again Monday to vote @rohitforatlanta.bsky.social!

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Good morning! Our database is now LIVE. Please flag us any social media posts, news reports, or official reports of crowd counts. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Massive turnout for #Atlanta #NoKings - just finished the march to the GA State Capitol. Joyful and determined vibe, lots of solidarity, no counter protesters other than the usual street preachers. Feeling the people power gives me hope 🇺🇸

Massive turnout at #NoKings in #Atlanta - energy is 💯🇺🇸

I don't like dunking on the @ajc.com, but some op-eds they publish are just trash 😵‍💫 www.ajc.com/opinion/2025... One "side" is calling for arrests and violence against their political opponents, sending troops to US Cities. And the writer's complaint is that Dems worry too much about democracy?!

Unite in Light across Atlanta TONIGHT! Bring your friends, neighbors, family, and inner shine. We will be on Ponce from the Fox Theater to Stone Mountain.

The Atlanta City Council selected Carden Wyckoff, a disability advocate, to fill the District 2 vacancy through the remainder of the term—104 days from today.

Glory hallelujah.

I suppose we are a bit overdue for the Bell Riots

Democrats remain on X because they think they have greater reach. The numbers are all fake, though. Take a look at these identical posts from Elizabeth Warren. X followers: 6.6 million X reposts: 1,321 X likes: 4,489 Bluesky followers: 390,400 Bluesky reposts: 1,500 Bluesky likes: 3,600

www.ajc.com/politics/202... Georgia Republicans are too cowardly to challenge the orange tyrant, and then let children go hungry so that Georgians can get a tax rebate. Literally, what's the point of our [state] gov't if it lets its most vulnerable humans starve and suffer?

Remember to find an early polling place and vote for Hubbard. Let's for once elect someone expert and committed to reining in Georgia Power's abuses

MAGA voters still have parents, many aging. Do they think Medicaid is funded by unlimited magic money? What happens when the nursing home calls and tells them to pick up grandma, or else she'll be on the street? They'll blame Obama or whoever is the latest enemy, but reality's gonna hit damn hard

Responding to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's victory, State Rep. Esther Panitch, a Democrat, tweeted this ⬇️ While Dems are working to build an electoral majority in GA, she is tearing that work down by amplifying this gross racist trope. Like seriously, this is going to get Dems elected in GA?

man that is a tight punchy 1000 words right there

Dad says they estimate 2000 protestors in Suwanee. In. Suwanee. Georgia. Y'all.
