BeltLine Rail Now posting a press release on their own web page, but not IG, FB, Twitter- any socials I could find… has got to be one of the dumbest self owns so far of 2026.

Whoever is running their social media needs to step back & let someone else do it well.

Fact: MARTA Transit is moving forward with ~20 miles of high capacity transit south of I-20, yet Atlantans are being told 2.5 miles for the #1 most supported project Eastside BeltLine Rail is somehow too much to ask.

Enough!!

Prioritize the project and let’s get it done.

💯. "Guardrails" are merely a band-aid, not a solution.

ALPRs should just be banned! 🚫

I’ve got 10 reasons

1: Poor regulations
2: Private ownership of utilities
3: Greed
4: Data centers
5: Data centers
6: Data centers
7: Limited gov financed investment in alternative energy
8: Data centers
9: Data centers
10: Data centers
Apparently our electricity bills are going through the roof and this is partly related to data centers that hog huge amounts of electricity to generate information. I, for one, feel hopping mad about this. The companies that are using the data centers should bear the cost.

It’s not “self defense” it’s a tactic.

It permits offensive action by police.

ALTERNATIVELY federales are too stupid to get out from in front of vehicles.

Federal immigration agents keep shooting at drivers. We tracked 15 cases since July.
After each shooting, federal agencies claimed the drivers tried to ram agents with their vehicles. But the claim often falls apart under scrutiny.

Every time I see law enforcement push an obviously false narrative *when they know there's video* I can't help but think of the decades of bullshit we were all spoon fed when no video exists to contradict the "official narrative."
