1/10 Atlanta Is Special

In Atlanta we stand on the shoulders of giants. Decades ago, black civil rights leaders and white business leaders came together, time and time again, to address the most pressing challenges of their time.

[humberto garcia-sjogrim @HumbertoGS]

Latest on the Police & Fire Training Facility… Conditions at the previous facility are indeed deplorable and unworthy of Atlanta. BUT, facilities are just part of the equation. Atlanta also needs world class curriculum and training. Let’s lead the way on community policing.

Good to see a reporter digging into the facts and using common sense rather than spreading misinformation with an erroneous headline. You can do better @ajc

[Patrick Quinn @PatrickQuinnTV]

I disagree with this analysis. Let's talk about it, though. Follow this thread🧵

[humberto garcia-sjogrim @HumbertoGS]

@danablankenhorn I’m ALL for that!

However, we’ve got more guns pouring on to our streets every day and people aren’t arming themselves to defend themselves against the police.

So, yes, absolutely, let’s dial up gun control. In the meantime, let’s make sure that our police are well trained.

[humberto garcia-sjogrim @HumbertoGS]

As residents of a large metropolitan area, we need police. And we want them to be well trained. Same goes for firefighters, and 911 operators. There is no such thing as the perfect site. Let’s focus on training and having the best public safety team. https://t.co/8hW0Df6IDI

[humberto garcia-sjogrim @HumbertoGS]

The portion of the South River Forest that the public safety training facility will be built on, used to be a prison farm. It’s been clearcut as recently as 1999. It’s not a “forest.”

We lose 35 to 50 acres of green space a day in Atlanta. A DAY!!!Let’s focus on that. #CopCity

@JoshforGeorgia This is low hanging fruit, Georgia…, let’s challenge our legislators to take up weighty & just issues rather than the politically motivated drivel that is clogging the pipes!

“Georgia is one of 12 states without a law to compensate people who were wrongly convicted.”

It’s good to see this trend line. Thank you for the reporting @neonflag.

This won’t end until politicians who do the NRA’s bidding in many states are voted out of office.

#VOTE

The doors were locked.

The teachers were armed.

TN expanded firearm access.

The police arrived in minutes.

Covenant school had everything that MAGA GOP assured us prevents & stops mass shootings. And 3 babies & 3 adults were murdered in seconds.😳

IT’S—THE—GUNS

@SairaForGeorgia Having served as an independent observer during both elections and ballot recounts I’ve been impressed by the people who serve all of us as poll workers and board of elections members.

Some politicians will stop at nothing to retain power. That leaves 1 option, vote them out!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you @JoshforGeorgia

Senator Josh McLaurin on SB140: “We don’t know…because we’re not in community w/ trans people. There are a couple people in this room, & you have heard from them, that have the ability to speak to what it’s like to be in community w/ trans children.” @JoshforGeorgia

@KOnocomment @SOGAchampions I love the notion that he never wasted a hug and I believe it!

The United Nations intergovernmental panel on climate change released its report stating that “There are multiple, feasible and effective options to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to human-caused climate change, and they are available now.”
