If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

Why is MAGA turning the US into Russia. Russia is isolated, corrupt, and constantly losing.

The Atlanta snake eating itself: "Let's fix our car-centric urbanism to boost MARTA ridership" "No, MARTA stinks. Fix that first, then we'll talk urbanism" "Maybe do both? Upping operations $ for MARTA quickly is politically inviable" "No. Fix MARTA first" [Nothing happens]

Trump’s statement after arresting Wisconsin judge: “I expect the legal profession to understand that the nation is not here for them but they are here for the nation… From now on, I shall intervene in these cases and remove from office those judges who evidently do not

The 'cop city' public safety training center officially opens today. Obviously there are many sad & tragic things to reflect on regarding the fight over this facility. Don't let this one get lost: Atlanta ignored its own City Design plan for the forest. threadatl.org/blog/2021/06/2…

This is the proper way to begin a story.

Media took the bait and has been covering Trump's Alcatraz BS all day instead of how disastrous the economy is. Jake Tapper's show even covered it live and on location at Alcatraz and did a panel. Trump plays the media every day and they cover what he wants them to cover.

The Atlanta Streetcar loop is 1.3 miles long west to east. It's the only rail built in the City of Atlanta since the 1990s and it wasn't even built by MARTA (it was a city project). MARTA hasn't built rail in the city limits for 30 years, during which the population grew by 110k.

My question: why aren't we *already in the process* of expanding rail in Atlanta? Why are we arguing and stalling? We've got years worth of planning for Beltline rail and a More MARTA tax that was passed to build it. How is this not happening like *right now*?

It’s funny that today is just day 900 of Elon is a Nazi and Trump is a pedophile.

Reconstruction never brought the confederates to heel for…well committing treason against the nation. So…we just let them move across the nation and it just festered.

With respect to Will, and I share in his annoyance, I don't know why liberals do this. We keep pointing out the hypocrisy like we're taking these people seriously. They lie to themselves as much as they lie to everyone. We don't need to parse the lies in order to oppose them.

"Why is Atlanta’s boom petering out?...Affordability and traffic. Both problems are clearly visible in the data. And I’d argue that they’re closely related. What we’re seeing in Atlanta, I’d suggest, are the limits of sprawl." - Paul Krugman atlurbanist.substack.com/p/the-side-eff…

Since I compulsively look at ATL through an urbanism lens, I can't help point out... These incidents of tragic violence happened beside a streetcar stop that's been on this block for over 10 years. Why are there *still* not enough 'eyes on the street' here to dissuade crime? 1/

People realize these are vaccines for CANCER, right? Like, cancer was going to become a treatable disease because of this funding. Now your cancer will be a death sentence, because of RFK and Trump.

Good point. 800M + 375M + 520M + 435M + 400M + 500M + 270M + 210M = $3.51 billion For less than the $4.1 billion loan the federal government just gave GA to expand Highway 400, we could build all this.

Liberalism deserves better.
