If I didn't show up to work for seven weeks, my boss would assume I had quit my job and would have hired someone else.

House Democrats should take outside-the-box action. Declare the Republicans as having abandoned their jobs. Elect a new "Speaker".

Have a Court fight over it.

REPUBLICANS: “It is ridiculous to imply we are the party of censorship.”

Atlanta should install 28 miles of protected bike lanes before the World Cup, then leave them in place & enhance where necessary afterwards.

You should be able to roll safely from every quadrant of the Atlanta Beltline to Mercedes Benz Stadium.

A reminder that if the minimum wage had kept pace with worker productivity gains since the 1960s, it would now be nearly $26 an hour.

people learning that there’s a word to describe the consolidation of wealth and political control among the few is only a bad thing if you’d like that trend of wealth and political control to continue
Ok how thirsty do we think Slotkin is to run for president in 2028 as a Sensible Centrist who was also a Troop (CIA)?

The Atlanta snake eating itself:

"Let's fix our car-centric urbanism to boost MARTA ridership"

"No, MARTA stinks. Fix that first, then we'll talk urbanism"

"Maybe do both? Quickly increasing operations funding for MARTA is politically inviable"

"I don't care. Fix MARTA first"

[Nothing happens]

I was recently asked how I got involved.
I just began; one ride, one yes at a time.
Started a BikeBus, tuned up neighbors’ bikes,
joined local talks on safer streets for all.
You don’t need a title.
Just take a step.
Then another.
That’s how change rolls forward.

Alarming!!
According to reports in the Georgia Tech subreddit, more than 20 GT international students have had their visas revoked.

No word on why, but Tech students are remarkably non-political most of the time. It's a bunch of try hard smart kids trying to invent stuff and start companies.

The Georgia Legislature is trying to sneak through a law to effectively create secret police in this state.

The changes in the bill, if passed, would gut the Georgia Open Records Act. My understanding is that it puts initial incident reports by police off limits.
Last night, GA lawmakers added v. bad amendments to another bill, SB 12. Changes would shield lawmakers from open record requests abt their communications. Would also shield law enforcement from sharing almost ANY info abt arrests & stops. Gutting accountability. georgiarecorder.com/briefs/georg...

Daniel Barnett, a property developer and "activist" on Auburn Avenue who goes by the name DaVinci Barcelo, apparently went through Old Wheat Street slashing tents today. I just got a call from the attorney representing the man who was killed in the homeless encampment clearance there in January.

Donald Shoup was a guest on the third ever episode of Adam Ruins Everything, “Adam Ruins Cars.” He was so generous with his time and so game to do a silly scene with us. RIP to a wonderful man and advocate youtu.be/skm6hp99-5A?...

I'm deeply saddened to share that Donald Shoup passed away last night. He was the ideal academic—curious, methodical, and concerned with turning ideas into real-world change. TAing his parking course these past few years has one of the greatest honors of my life. Rest in peace, Shoup Dogg.

Congestion pricing began on January 5. One month in, traffic is down, public buses are faster, and transit ridership is up.

Good.

Spread this message: violence against cyclists can result in prison time. Even in Georgia.
