A true dystopian nightmare.

Investors now own 30% of metro Atlanta’s single-family rental homes

Reverence for the Constitution gets in the way of acknowledging how deeply the founders of the U.S. republic distrusted democracy and strove to insulate the government from influence by the common man.

Emotional mail day. Since this book went to press the dreaded Cop City, awash in death and deceit from inception, has opened, formalizing a new chapter in “Atlanta Way” repression. But the opposition movement has politicized and even radicalized untold Atlantans and so many around the world. 1/
