A man in academia: He's amazing! He doesn't disrespect me, allows me to suggest my own ideas & even got me an unpaid internship. A woman in ac: She advocated so I'd get pay for internship, supported my mental health & gave me a kidney. But her 'hello' was cold. She might be a bitch, I don't know.

There is absolutely no reason to deport a longtime journalist who is authorized to work in the United States. The Dekalb County Sheriff's Office should not have released Mario Guevara to ICE.

🚨By a 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court UPHOLDS Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for minors, concluding that it does NOT discriminate on the basis of sex, is not subject to heightened scrutiny, and survives rational basis review. All three liberals dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/24p...

Taxpayers shouldn’t have to foot the lawsuits when cops do illegal stuff like this. It’s unconscionable.

Las Vegas police immediately arrest two livestreamers when one of them insults an officer after an anti-ICE protest ("honor your oath, bitch"). "You need to learn there's rules: don't run your mouth at me."

Well now we know why Uber + Waymo is a sponsor. They paid $25K to be sponsors. This is why we need to get corporate money out of the non-profit industrial complex. At least our concerns are being heard by the local media. @threadatl.bsky.social

More Americans voted for Senator Alex Padilla than for 48 of the 53 red state GOP U.S. Senators combined.

Take care of yourself includes bring water. Wear sunscreen. BRING MEDS! Do you need an EpiPen? A rescue inhaler? Insulin? Bring it to the protest! Bonus points if you can bring the box with the prescription on it.

Why spend $500k on humble improvements that benefit a broad community when you could instead blow $10M on a crazy ass segregated-access bridge?

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

INBOX: In an op-ed, leaders of Atlanta Botanical Garden, Park Pride, and Trust for Public Land embraced Mayor Dickens' "group project" to kill the voter-approved Streetcar East Extension and move things Southside. They are now calling for building a second Eastside BeltLine along the streetcar ROW.

The Beltline is increasingly popular, and Atlanta must help it evolve

The Eastside Beltline is in desperate need of a second trail.

Lots of people are in crisis. Many of us have lost our jobs. Others been reduced to half time. The rest fear what’s coming. Education evaluation positions have been entirely eliminated at some firms. The world for thousands is radically different than it was even 3 months ago. So, yeah, this tracks.

One in twenty marta riders gave up riding on the subway in the past year, after giving it a try as COVID-19 restrictions eased up. That is a horrifying outlier compared to the rest of the nation and firmly puts Atlanta in the "transit death spiral" category.

Many correspondence audits collect data on multiple characteristics but don't examine all potential forms of discrimination. In our latest paper on @socarxiv.bsky.social, “Missing Results of Discrimination,” we show that scholars may unintentionally miss key findings. osf.io/preprints/so...
