Civics with @jasondozier.bsky.social (Best city council member in Atlanta) Town halls are great and you should go to them and don't just yell at people.

1/ Last year, 32 people died while in federal detention, making it the deadliest year for the agency in more than two decades. Two weeks ago, Renee Good was killed by ICE agents in Minneapolis. Today, Alex Pretti, an ICU nurse, was killed by federal officers in the same city.
Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry. It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.

1/ The federal government shutdown is threatening food security for more than 1.4 million Georgians, including 640,000 children, who rely on SNAP benefits to eat. Those benefits could stop as soon as November 1.
🚨 It’s official: I’ve drawn an opponent for this November’s election. Everything we’ve worked for in District 4—fighting displacement, expanding affordable housing, building safer streets, and ensuring our community’s voice is heard—is now on the line.

Three elections. One unified goal. Build a better Atlanta. From day one, our campaign has been powered by people. Volunteers, neighbors, and supporters have sat with me on my front steps sharing ideas, making calls, knocking doors, and building a vision for a stronger District 4.
It's 404 Day, Atlanta! This week, we launched the Atlanta Local Legacy Program, a first-of-its-kind initiative to celebrate and support the businesses that have shaped our city for 30+ years.
Democrats better have a Third Reconstruction vision when the recession hits.
We’re making a mistake if “Democrat” doesn’t mean “Third Reconstruction” a year from now

Thank you @healthbeat.org for allowing me to share my thoughts about today's layoffs at the CDC. The CDC has been instrumental in keeping Americans safe and healthy and weakening the CDC only means more preventable deaths, greater economic harm, and a less secure nation.

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

It's always a good day to remember that literally every Confederate general was literally a traitor.
Really feel like I’m losing my mind: government OBVIOUSLY cannot punish an individual law firm for hiring someone it disfavors! It’s ludicrously unconstitutional and I feel like without a day of law school I could argue the case. And yet the best paid lawyers in the country are folding?
Goldberg said the level of detail in the targeting package that he received via Signal was down to the *names of individuals* to be killed. That’s the good stuff that includes all kinds of sources and methods and never should have been outside a SCIF. I’d be in prison if I fucked up that bad.
The reality here is very simple: Trump thinks there is no limit on his power, that he can spend money how he likes, jail who he likes, rule by fiat, criminalize criticism of himself. He is breaking the law and ignoring the Constitution. And we can either acknowledge that or keep pretending he isn’t.

How is "Administration declares itself above the law" not the giant screaming headline everywhere

No further debate—Trump’s DEI policy is clearly racist. The Pentagon is flagging for removal, historic photos of Black & brown heroes who served, claiming they “promote DEI.” The military was segregated until 1948. Black people served while facing racism. Where was the DEI? Erasure is the point.
Thank you to @fox5atlanta.bsky.social for allowing me to share my thoughts. The livelihoods of small business owners are being jeopardized by billionaires like Kelly Loeffler and Elon Musk and we won't stand for it.

In 20 years there’s going to be a section of the US history curriculum that lists key events in US racism as redlining, white flight, and the 2025 purge of racism from history books and government records
