“Congress needs to assert itself soon as well, before its powers atrophy.”

South west atlanta has this at almost every intersection

I know what you’re thinking: We should mirror the United States government based on how this website is run.

Huh

Meanwhile in Atlanta, an anti-homeless person vigilante attacks personal shelters. Wondering how long Mayor, Governor, and AG will take to condemn attack on others’ property as they did so aggressively during #CopCity protests? When will *this* arrest be made?

Ill do it without the hopes!

Earlier this week, Governing Magazine covered my efforts to encourage local governments to respond to federal layoffs with hiring initiatives. These layoffs disproportionately hurt cities like Atlanta and I'm proud that we're a national leader in this work. www.governing.com/workforce/lo...

Get kirk out of my city!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mexico has the chance to do something funny.

Awful news. And, vitamin A use is, “largely based on studies in countries where the virus is endemic and malnutrition is more common.” There’s no reason to die from a vaccine preventable disease!!!

Local content: some parents like myself are worried about lack of transparency around potential school closure in SW Atlanta (including the first Black high school in GA--Dr. King's alma mater). We're gonna have a community meeting about it, you can register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

NEW: The US General Services Administration plans to sell hundreds of government buildings, including FBI headquarters. Use our interactive tools to see where they are—and which Congressional districts they're in. Link: www.wired.com/story/map-fo...

“Unbought, Unbossed.”

I was never meant to use Outlook

Saw purple, a kicker, and “arrest,” and assumed Justin Tucker 🥲

just throwing out there, the deadline to file for election is August 2025. if you live in atlanta and are one of the 115,000 people who signed the Cop City ballot initiative petition, find out who your city council member is and think about running against them!

Yes, please sign me up to exercise my body under highly polluted air... “Living near roads means greater exposure to traffic-related air pollution (TRAP) from cars and trucks, which can lead to numerous health issues, including premature death”

Seems irresponsible to not list how much money those offices bring in through tax collection…

🚨“more than 1/2 of the chases with injuries, those harmed were either bystanders or passengers… 523 bystanders were injured, while 470 passengers in the pursued vehicles suffered injuries… more than 1/2… injured in GSP pursuits… from 2019-2023 were not the fleeing driver” www.ajc.com/news/investi...

The drones are 80 pounds!!!!! Also, im sure the towns where there was no comment, didn’t know that the drones were coming: www.faa.gov/uas/advanced...

He was the host a few years ago…. Just like the current president. SNL is spineless snd self-absorbed.

Can some explain to me why GSP has a brand new mustang gt? Like… yes, governor, i have to go very fast in a two seater racing car…

In 2022, ATL voters approved a $660 million bond package to build & update infrastructure. But only 7% of that money has been spent so far––and as you can see, it's been disproportionately spent in the whitest and wealthiest parts of the city. More failure from @andreforatlanta.com
