One of the best pieces of local reporting over the last year (if not THE best.) Thrilled to see it recognized and (belatedly!) making some waves.

@urbanizeatl.bsky.social Not sure who needs to get this but the "magic link" login is not working. I put in my (pre-registered) email, get the email with the link, then when I click I am told that it's an invalid link.

I had been doubtful that we were going to have a "this is the crisis moment" with Trump, as opposed to "everything about this is a destructive catastrophe." But the Abrego Garcia case is the crisis moment. 1/

The regime is clearing out everyone in the military who's not a loyalist in preparation for martial law. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

I was going to get the train today. But I am increasingly concerned at the deficit I’m running with Great Northern Rail. I buy a lot from them and they purchase nothing from me. Tempted to apply a 20% tariff. Sure my tickets will cost 20% more but it might mean I buy fewer and reduce the deficit.

We are very close to a near cure for two of the highest-mortality cancers we know: glioblastoma and pancreatic cancer. These are both mRNA based treatments which are losing their funding during stage I and II trials. Thousands will die needlessly because of this motherfucker and his lies.

The New York Times is the first to put out comprehensive estimates on the cost of a year without U.S.A.I.D. and they’re higher than I thought: - 1.65 million deaths from AIDS - 500,000 from lack of vaccines - 550,000 from lack of food aid - 290,000 from malaria - 310,000 from TB

This is why we can't have nice things, and why @thewaroncars.bsky.social is becoming less of a tongue-in-cheek title with each passing day. So GA DOT literally installed this RRFB (on-demand pedestrian crossing signal) two weeks ago.

We currently have... *checks notes*... ONE of these projects under construction. So we gave MARTA a pile of extra money for basically nothing.

Kash Patel wants to criminally charge groups who received EPA grants for climate change projects. You know, like those greedy bastards at Habitat for Humanity. He thinks climate change isn't real, so he thinks these groups have committed fraud. Which of course is fucking crazy.

Most cyclists in Atlanta know exactly where this spot is. I hit it at the exact right time this morning. #sunrise

Hit-and-run asshole driver took out two mailboxes, street signs and a fire hydrant on my street, knocking out water service to about six streets. But hey, what can you expect when we build our society around minimally trained people operating heavy machinery with minimal licensing? #CarsRuinCities

Rode my ebike down to the Georgia State Capitol to join @sairaforgeorgia.bsky.social to rally support for our public health workers at the CDC, and to call on state leaders to grow a spine and push back against indiscriminate cuts by "DOGE." I can't believe I gotta rally for this sh*t...

It was nice to be in her corner, cheering, for just one day. Apparently one day is all you get.
