Now would seem to be the critical time when all Southern leadership could join in setting an example of acceptance of the right of qualified persons to vote. This would seem a simple and easy thing to do. Ralph McGill Atlanta Constitution April 23, 1960

January 2021: Thank you Georgia! You made real change in our nation possible. March 2021: Fuck you rednecks! I am not going to film/work/visit/patronize your state. I will keep my money in New York and California, states without highly problematic political leaders.

They say local newspapers are dying because of the internet, but I choose to believe it's because they aren't fully leveraging potential income streams. For example, your newspaper could double as the PR arm of the local police department.

Governor Kemp and Chris Carr appear to be setting up crime as their top issue. So, plan on lots more disingenuous rhetoric characterizing Atlanta as a violent hellhole in the coming years. But also, in 2022 violent crime was down 8% in Atlanta. And is down 21% so far this year.

It's not feasible for to seize all the AR15s. How about this: Govt will buy back at fair price. You don't have to sell, but if you keep the gun you have to register it. If you don't - felony. You can't sell it. If you do - felony. Nobody else can fire it. If so - felony.

As a Fulton County resident and lawyer, I just really can't get hyped for these Trump indictments. It's important work, but it also feels like Fani is running for Governor. Between this and YSL our criminal docket has ground to a near halt. All while men die in Rice Street.

Atlanta voters may not agree on Cop City, BeltLine rail, and a host of other issues. But I think we all agree that these staggered, off-year Atlanta School Board elections are just the dumbest possible idea.

Hit a run on the South River Trail in DeKalb County. Saw several deer and turtles. I don't think @atlcouncil realizes that the South River Forest is part of a contiguous wild space that runs from ATL to Jackson Lake in Butts County. It can't be replaced by planting a few trees.
