How would @archiveatlanta.bsky.social fix Atlanta?
Looking to our past can help us better solve our current problems—especially since we've had many of the same issues since 1837.
It's time for Atlanta to hire an official historian.

“Calling it Weelaunee signals the utopic visioning of the Stop Cop City movement, which refuses a forward march of history that erodes commons and public spaces and treats any resource, like the Weelaunee River, as a tool for the state or for corporations.”

Great piece by Andy Walter, & this map of ticket buyers is pretty much map of affluent "favored quarter" of Atlanta metro, where local government, homeowners, & developers have worked to maintain and reinforce exclusion through "displace-and-replace" redevelopment, among other practices. #RedHotCity
