Must read from @IamKingWilliams on Cop City. Lots of great background to explain how we got here.

Classism. Racism. Ageism. Ableism. Climate denial. No matter how we rationalize the wasteful destruction of nature through car-scaled urban sprawl, or how we rationalize the act of robbing people of chances to live with dignity unless they can drive, those evils are at the core.
Thank you @LilianaforATL for fighting for us. I am grateful for your dedication and true understanding of being a public servant.

#BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security issued a statement saying they never designated any specific group connected to protests of Atlanta’s proposed public safety training facility as domestic terrorists. bit.ly/3J3brDw
Atlanta, I love you, but you’re breaking my heart. Why would anyone ever bother again with any level of community engagement when it’s so easily dismissed by private money and backroom deals? #theatlantaway is thriving during a time when i had so much hope for our leaders. 💔
“Atlanta has to set the bar for what freedom of speech looks like,” said @LilianaforATL Bakhtiari. “The state’s actions against us, and what they are conducting in our city, I find to be a direct threat to that legacy and to the spirit of what Atlanta is.” nytimes.com/2023/06/02/us/…
“I don’t find it real impressive,” Judge Altman said of the case against @ATLSolFund, adding, “there’s not a lot of meat on the bones of thousands of dollars going to illegal activities.” By me and @RaR, for @nytimes: nytimes.com/2023/06/02/us/…
This is good news! The newest MARTA board member is Sagirah Jones who works with @PropelATL as an advocate for safe streets. It's nice to have someone on the board who's very aware on the needs of people who are getting around Atlanta without of car! ajc.com/news/commuting…
How does the City deal with affluent neighbors negotiating in bad faith? Apparently incorporating their bad faith demands and effectively killing a project. Utterly shameful. If anyone wonders where all the urban republicans went, they joined their local n’hood association.

Today on #CloserLookWABE with @waberosescott: A @GeorgiaTech environmental engineering student fact checked @CityofAtlanta on the controversial Public Safety Training Center. Find out what he said was true & false at 1pm & 7pm on @wabenews and WABE.org
Every damn day in this town.
Thirty-one months ago, @atlcouncil unanimously adopted legislation — sponsored by 14 of us — calling on Development Authority of Fulton County to stop issuing tax abatements inside Atlanta. Tomorrow, that body will have the chance to reject a particularly egregious request. (1)
How important is it for the City to protect the investments made by homeowners who want to maintain ATL's "suburbs in the city" vibe? How important is that, versus building multifamily infill that calms the housing-cost spikes caused by limited home supply in hot n'hoods?
Ok. So on the same day that @ribunchreports publishes in the @ajc that @andreforatlanta won't allow the public or media to be present for his task force on #copcity @JohnRuchAtlanta publishes in the @SaportaReport that someone at @GeorgiaTech had @AlexIp718's reporting removed.
Wow, that's one heck of a paragraph. Read the whole article from @CoxStan, about cop city and climate justice: resilience.org/stories/2023-0…

Digging the new ATL UTD kit but I've never seen someone parade around with our City flag. A city seal on a flag does not a great flag make. While we have more important things to do, I'd love if we redesigned our flag so that folks would clamor to fly it. So much potential.
How was this not the Atlanta half time show????
Okay @LilianaforATL @andreforatlanta @atlcouncil - how do we go about actually making changes to how DAFC operates, the power it holds, and the board member selection process? I’m looking for tangible steps we can take to affect change. Public comment doesn’t work.

That is who lives on the Beltline, today, by and large. People for whom a sidewalk-level ad for investment banking services or plastic surgery makes marketing sense. And, fine. They've got to live somewhere. But they don't own the fucking sidewalk.
Rail was part of this plan from its conception. It has been reaffirmed half a dozen times along the way, and is what people actually want. Of course, so was affordable housing, and we see what people like this did to that plan. They've got theirs. Fuck everyone else. Right?
Let's be clear about what this is. White people with some money bought expensive condos near the Beltline, gentrifying neighborhoods like the Old 4th Ward, and now they don't want poor Black people from Atlanta's southside to easily access their community.
Atlanta's NIMBYism rivals that of Boston and San Francisco. A group of "concerned citizens" are outraged enough to start an organization, "Better Atlanta Transit" to fight longstanding plans for the streetcar to run along the path. They have a website. Find it yourself.
NEW: Council member Bakhtiari is considering introducing legislation next week to ask voters through ballot referendum: should the city stop construction in the South River Forest and relocate the proposed training facility to another location? #atlpol ajc.com/news/atlanta-n…
@LaurenWelshATL All that Renew ATL money for what. Took eight years to replace one road. I wish I could expect more.
@capittalism I'll be one of the annoying ones... I really wish we'd use that money (or an equivalent amount) fitting Atlanta roads with transit priority treatments. Bus lanes, signal priority, moving bus stops... all that jazz.
@capittalism Am I allowed to be one of them? More frequencies >>> free ridership.
