@R_A_Belcher @corenmhr How about what the data say?

@R_A_Belcher @ajc @AP Richard Belcher… McCarthyism defender and somehow a GFAF honoree. Wild.

Today, Atlanta journalist Mario Guevara becomes the fifth-longest-jailed journalist in US history, unseating William Farr of the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner, who was jailed for 46 days for refusing to reveal sources in 1972.

@R_A_Belcher That's a pretty myopic question. It betrays a broadcast media centric view. Rural communities heavily depend on public media for news, with local radio stations frequently being the only local media those communities have.

@micahinATL @atlanta_press Now we need to raise money to do all the work researching the documents we requested and start requesting more!

.@APStylebook is “deported” the right word for when the U.S. removes a U.S. citizen from the country?

Ryan Millsap is capping for literal Nazis.

To the folks who are saying things like “we’ll vote in 2026,” what makes you think we’ll have a legitimate vote, if any, again?

A coup happened. As in past tense. An oligarch took America’s treasury department and American’s PPI.

[Lindsay Owens @owenslindsay1]

This is an excellent summary of Musk’s takeover of the Treasury from @NYMag’s @chasdanner, with quotes from WSJ, NYT, WaPo, and my op-ed from @MSNBC yesterday.

But this quote from @smotus is right on the money. This isn’t efficiency. It’s a coup.

👀: Because of Trump’s federal grant freeze, homeless services providers like @PartnersForHOME have been cut off from funding.

PFH can't even log into HUD's online grant disbursement system.

More to discuss tomorrow, @waberosescott?

@staceyhopkinsga @atlcouncil @SaviProvisions The CEO said in interviews at the time they expected the store to open in March — Not 25Q2. That doesn't seem likely, given the lack of progress to date. I’m reaching out to Savi now to see what they say

[Matt Scott - ACPC @MattACPC]

@staceyhopkinsga @atlcouncil @SaviProvisions Lemme see if I can get a freelancer on it

This reminds me of a chant Cop City folks did after the referendum that pointed out similarities between Trump and Dickens.

We're out folks.

I'm saddened. This platform was largely where I cut my journalism teeth. I'll miss live tweeting for y'all here.

I'm at the other place too: [email protected]

This will be ACPC's last post to X.

We believe it's time to officially move on after the salute made by the platform's owner during the events surrounding Trump's inauguration.

Council member Overstreet is trying to do damage control with task force chair Justice Leah Ward Sears about the perception (based on some hard facts reported by @atlanta_press ) that the task force was a “fix” to launder legislation thru council to defang the OIG.
