Huge congrats to Dr. Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard on being elected as Georgia’s next Public Service Commissioners. As Trump raises utility costs, this is a huge deal. They are the FIRST non-federal statewide Democrats to win in Georgia in nearly 20 years.
Democrats have flipped two Georgia Public Service Commission seats from red to blue in the first win for GA Democrats at the nonfederal statewide level since 2006.
The Georgia Public Service Commission plays an instrumental role in determining energy policy for the state.

I do not think it is possible to believe that what we do is important at all if you are unwilling to even consider these questions. I repeat that as far as I'm concerned, what Kreis, Bernick, and Gowder have done is something to celebrate and aspire to. This stuff matters.
I am convinced that a few folks did not like our birthright citizenship essay because it held a mirror up to the legal academy itself. We asked about the research process. And we examined the relationship between process, timing, motivations for short-circuiting process, and the scholarly mission.
There’s a fundamental dispute in the legal academy about what scholars ought to do, methodically and rhetorically. I don’t feel comfortable on either “side.” But the more I talk to ppl, the more I see how deep it is and how there’s no way around fractured relationships. I’ll have to live with that.

Mr. Sood's death was not only tragic, but entirely preventable. I'm proud to join alongside CM Farokhi to not only demand the restoration of this crossing, but for Atlanta to reinvest in the Peachtree shared street experience that was promised to our citizens long ago.

Resurfacing the road, putting in extra wide car lanes, and not including a cycle track… which would connect two disjointed cycle tracks on the *same road blocks away from one another* was a mistake. @westmorelandatl.bsky.social @jasondozier.bsky.social @andreforatlanta.com

This is a good writeup, but something is missing.
All talk about "fixing the streetcar" needs to include the urbanism on the route. There's far too much land occupied by empty buildings & parking & unbuilt lots within two or three blocks of streetcar stops.

You can the pedestrian-safety projects from the "Moving Atlanta Forward" tax we approved in 2022 listed here:

But you won't see them on the actual streets. Is ATL DOT incompetent? Understaffed? We need to know.

Firing staff for not coming to work on a day when MARTA buses aren't running due to icy roads 🤬 I don't know if any of the staff are transit dependent but it's the principal that matters. If conditions are too bad even for pro drivers, have a heart.
