this is the kind of consolidation of billionaire-friendly media I was complaining about.

Saving newspapers won't save Democracy if what's needed is to challenge oligarchy.

In another twist, the doxing of signatures to the "Stop Cop City" referendum was controversial and seen by some as a form of voter intimidation by "the Atlanta Way" but, I believe the lists may have been used as a canvassing guide for progressive candidates.

But adding a complication to anti-oligarch politics in Atlanta, dissident Cox heir Fergie Chambers, who divorced from the Dynasty over "Cop City" and helped fund the failed referendum effort, self-identifies as a communist, has been critical of DSA as an org and electoral politics in general.

The Bond campaign has been active for awhile, canvassing and phone banking. Sign wavers were at polling locations all day today.

Bond was the first to declare for the race well before qualification and even before incumbent Amir Farokhi announced he would not run for reelection and in fact left office early.
