DHS now says it's aiming for 100 million deportations. In an amazing coincidence, there are 104 million Black and Hispanic people living in the U.S. right now.

Here’s a post with a more critical NYT article on the Beltline and a link to a chapter from my Atlanta book on the Beltline.

"The (Atlanta) BeltLine 'lost its way from a transit and trails project to this transformative real estate development project,' said Dan Immergluck"

For a deeper dive on the Beltline, here is Chapter 2 from Red Hot City.

True to a degree for many cities, but the sometimes blinding conflicts of interest present in Atlanta government (including development & housing entities) — including folks on boards & committees getting contracts from sister agencies — would make a helluva thesis for an enterprising grad student.

I’m in this piece as one of just a couple token critics they had to include. It is mostly more @ajc.com PR for the city and the Beltline.

Sad to see a once very good metro daily become what the AJC has become.

The title of the article is true at least.
Atlanta bet on the Beltline 20 years ago. The city will never be the same.
This December marks 20 years since the Atlanta Beltline first got public financing through a tax allocation district.

Walz's debate flop has vexed me for a year. It was in the worst of racist incitement that Trump and Vance aimed at Springfield. Walz decided to do the "My dear fellow Senator" thing.

Ian Haney López told me he wished Walz had broken the 4th wall and called out the depravity of those lies.

When “policy preferences” include gutter racism and antisemitism, spreading vile violence-inducing conspiracy theories, and - yes - support for an attempted coup, no, I don’t be “giving her credit.”

Ughh. More "AI will save us". Computer scientist/consultant who presents himself as expert on absolutely everything. Lost me at "the most important thing to neighborhoods is coffee shops..." I won't look for his citations.

But I am excited to know AI will help us have more coffee shops!

was talking to someone recently who praised her "change" and I questioned whether it was mostly strategic and self-serving and not a significant "change of heart" or conversion. This person clearly thought i was being too cynical as if that was the problem...sigh

Renowned data scientist @alex-pentland.bsky.social’s new book "Shared Wisdom" is a hopeful treatise on how AI can help to advance, not harm, the human condition. Listen to him on @middayonwypr.bsky.social:
'Shared Wisdom': A top AI expert considers how the potent tech can help us heal our polarized world
Author Alex "Sandy" Pentland offers a compelling counter to popular foreboding about AI's impact on human civilization: using AI, he writes, we can build more dynamic, open societies.

Should also add that right before she quit, Marjorie Taylor Greene passed a bill through the House to ban gender-affirming care for minors. She is not a moderate. She is still super right wing. She just felt Trump no longer could accomplish her goals.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.

When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.

This is outrageous.

… and to extend this. He probably gives one of a few canned talks wherever he goes, so no prep required. If I do an invited talk, I usually end up needing 15-30 hours to prepare for the topic/audience/local context. (If it’s a book talk I’ve done before then perhaps 4-5 hours.)

Chicago resisted. Protests came with a price. Bruises from pepper balls and fits of sickness from the tear gas. But also the shattering of illusions and loss of faith that what they witnessed could not happen in America. It did and is happening in America www.chicagotribune.com/2025/12/28/c...
