According to Patty Durand, Georgia Power had the highest profit per person of all utilities in the United States. This fall, Atlanta and Georgia will have the chance to fully address the uncontrollable monopoly.

Many major US cities are realizing that building 99% of their infrastructure around cars is dooming them long term. LA is building rail, Seattle is expanding rail, Austin is investing in rail. Dallas, Boston, Kansas City, Chicago and more are all expanding rail options.

A reminder that metro Atlanta leads the nation in single-family rental homes owned by corporations. 25% of these homes are owned by corporations that owned more than 1000 homes. Digest that.

If Altanta built out the proposed beltline rail, over 40% of the city of Atlanta would be within a 10-15 min walk from rail. This barely considers all the connectors and cross-city options that have been suggested to complement the system.

Became a monthly donor today because this journalism matters.

MN Judge: "ICE has violated ~100 court orders." ICE: "We're acting on orders of Kristy Noem" Kristi Noem: "Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of Trump & Miller" Nuremberg Trials: "I was just following orders is not a valid defense to criminal behavior" Abolish. Impeach. Prosecute.

Hundreds of Atlantans have gathered in Kirkwood to hold a vigil for Alex Pretti, the nurse who was killed by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis Saturday.

My friends, we are in a serious constitutional crisis. The government is racially profiling, suppessing free speech, killing our own people in the streets— and lying about every fact along the way. If we don’t use our natural talents and voices to say “no,” then what’s the point of law at all?

I want to give Bluesky the attention I give threads but the threads algorithm has my stuff popping off 😅

Big national fascism in the news opens up all kinds of opportunities to do some local fascism.

My boy @latinheat.bsky.social came in clutch with these 😂

ASL interpreters who work in the arts (concerts, opera, theatre, etc) deserve to be valued as artists too. it takes so much skill to be this good at capturing the FEEL of music beyond just translating the meaning of the text and it’s an invaluable accessibility service

In order to facilitate housing growth and infill development, South Bend offers 27 pre-approved housing plans, ranging from single-family homes to duplexes and six-plexes. They provide site and building plans and pre-approve housing within two days. More of this.

There are fellow citizens out there defending Elon with their full chest. I still can’t wrap my brain around it.

Elon Musk is a terrible president.

Everyone can organize. Everyone can contribute to social movements. Everyone can do something, from somewhere. None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic. Everyone can organize and has something to offer.

Black history is Georgia history! Today I'm thinking about Ethel Mae Mathews, a fierce advocate for welfare rights and opponent to the Atlanta Way. A small part of her career fighting for justice, she worked to increase school integration in APS. www.atlantahistorycenter.com/blog/unwaver...

I’m about to buy my own chickens. I eat 4 eggs a day and going so broke right now 😩

New MARTA trains are here. That’s CEO Collie Greenwood taking the first ride.

First look at the new marta CQ400 trainsets

The city of Atlanta campaigning so hard against the current OIG system feels so weird.

things are grim enough without people sharing unverified and possibly false info 🙃

Who needs hype up music for the gym when you have audio books like this that make you want to rage.

The bottom 50% of households hold just 2.4% of U.S. wealth. The top 1% control 42% of the wealth.

Does this not concern any of his supporters?

The guys who sneer about Gender Studies courses are the ones who most need to take them.

Last thing I’m say is that while TikTok‘s shenanigans/propaganda are important… No one is talking about Trump’s terrible financial plans, promises of mass deportations, or anything related a project 2025

Bluesky just seems like a better and better place to spend my social media time.

Update: it’s happening on Monday at Wild Heaven Brewery in West End, from 11:30am - 1:30pm, all are welcome!

So where would we want to implement congestion pricing in Atlanta? (I already want a commuter tax)

We have a lady in HR that keeps my office building freezing. A new guy is walking around fully cocooned in a blanket to stay warm.

It’s really beautiful when the internet can bond over a Spotify test email

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen so many adults grinning and having the best time, even without alcohol, than those I saw in Piedmont Park Friday.

Night at the Museum is still a solid movie.

Two stunning shots I took while taking a morning walk through the park yesterday!

I’m a weirdo and sneak in my lightly salted almonds but yes. Movies alone are hidden pleasure of mine.

School shootings should not be normal.

Remember, corporations steal more through wage theft than every thief in America put together.

It’s holiday season 🎁

In form Gio Reyna is a scary Gio Reyna.

Mayor Andre Dickens continues to think he’s above the law and think his constituents are fools. It’s beyond disappointing.

My sister and I send each other outfit of the day videos which I love but today’s was from her going to a first big girl interview - when did she grow up so quick?! My heart can barely take it!

I always wondered where the plastic bollards from 10th street went when they were hit/dislodged. Apparently they make it half a mile away into the dog park.

Really grim. He murdered a man for being homeless, and got away with it because the man was homeless. We should be clear about this and the fascist implications here.

ATL Friends isn’t on Bluesky yet so sharing our work here

I am coming up on 4 months of living car free in Atlanta. People’s reactions are still priceless, especially with how active and on the go I am. Of course, I’m incredibly lucky to have a such a great e-bike as well as full mobility/health, but the car free life has been full of joy for me.
