Post on "Scenes from the Atlanta Forest," a hub for reports on #StopCopCity, writes that "[t]wo high-level Atlas consultants claimed Atlas was no longer funding Cop City," due to activists being "fucking nightmares." This weekend, dozens rallied outside homes in Minnesota. Major development if true.
