So sorry to our neighbors in Tennessee, who's lawmakers have decided that propping up a predatory industry is more important than eradicating poverty in the state.

We're no longer operating in "gray areas" or hypotheticals. It's very simple and clear what is being done here. This federal administration’s decision to end the ban on segregated facilities in federal contracts continues an appalling assault on civil rights. www.axios.com/2025/03/18/t...
Trump administration ends "segregated facilities" ban in federal contracts
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 still outlaws segregation in business, but the move is symbolic.

Hey #GAPOL, keep your eyes on SB 57. It's using the language of 'anti-discrimination' to create some pretty nasty barriers for small businesses, banks, etc. to enforce their own private efforts to promote diversity, environmental justice, etc.

Fellow policy analysts, lawyers and legislator friends -- is there a place where I can download the entire official state code for Georgia or any state as a single pdf? I've been on Lexus Nexus and Justia and it looks like you can only export bits and pieces or purchase hard copies.

In my latest for the @ajc.com, I break down a $1.2B problem hitting ATL & GA: predatory lending. As we head into MLK Weekend, it’s time for lawmakers to push real reforms & stand up to Pawn & Title Lending lobbyists draining our economy. GA families deserve better. #gapol www.ajc.com/opinion/opin...

What are folks thinking about in terms of the use of data to do equity-focused analysis under the Trump administration? I imagine access to census data is going to get pretty weird.

I can’t stand academia sometimes because how am I supposed to get students engaged in new research when they run into paper sections that look like this and they completely shut down.

Damn this is a tired ass tune and I’m tired of being forced to sing it every 4 years. Throwing folks into poverty to cover tax savings for the ultra wealthy… what are we doing here folks???
Republican lawmakers, policy advisers and Trump transition officials are trying to figure out how to offset trillions of dollars in new tax cuts. One possible plan? Significant cuts to Medicaid and food stamps, report @jacobbogage.bsky.social, @jeffstein.bsky.social and @ddiamond.bsky.social
