When will we be ready for serious proposals to address the climate crisis? I had the pleasure of reviewing @BigMeanInternet's latest book for CounterPunch below

How much more cynical can you get than using Ta-Nehisi Coates’ name for personal gain AND genocide denial? I’m concerned for your soul if you think this is okay

[Ta-Nehisi Quotes @steady_drumbeat]

I don't think there was a genocide in Gaza but it's hard for me to take claims of hyperbole seriously from people who say chanting "Free Free Palestine" means you agree w/ the Jewish Museum shooting in DC, or Zohran supporting a binational state means he's "endangering" NYC Jews.

@NilesGApol In the 15 years since Citizens United, it’s sad to see how normalized money in politics have become that people don’t even see it’s pernicious effects

@CFausse @oh_HOLMES What personal interactions with KLB? Given how few endorsements she received in the primary, it seemed like a lot of people feel the same way

I’m sorry, but why should Florida voters steer the Democratic Party? If Florida is in play in 2028, safe to say Democrats have the election wrapped up

[Fred Guttenberg @fred_guttenberg]

Unfortunately @RoKhanna, this is the kind of position that will cause people like me to step away from the Democratic party.

@MatthewSitman If I were a betting man, I would assume the same people paying for that apartment also put this on the NYT’s radar to write the most fawning tenants’ rights piece in years

Really enjoyed Ed Park's Oral History of Atlantis-a very clever story collection. When these stories land, they are immersive and emotional with powerful characters. Only flaw is some stories feel too experimental like a fiction class' Barthelme imitation.

The Taylor & Travis wedding really undermines the Hacks final season. Couldn’t Deborah Vance just have rented out MSG on her own time too?

I know the City of Atlanta and Andre Dickens are opposed to city planning, but I don’t think they’ve realized how low most people think of them. This is what happens when you divest from the city to fund suburbization #Atlanta

Empty @AtlantaBeltline Beep rolling up to West End station during World Cup and Beltline Fest. If the Beltline Spoke is vacant now, hard to imagine it ever being used much #Atlanta

Georgia Democrats can’t be taken seriously about voter suppression until they’re willing to address the suppression of the Stop Cop City referendum. You can’t fundraise on stopping voter suppression if you’re abetting it! #GaPol #Atlanta

You’re officially an Atlien after you see your first Corvette get repo’d #Atlanta

I firmly believe that I do not need to have an opinion on Graham Platner and resent the text, Emily's List

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

big scandal in Atlanta - amid an ongoing housing crisis, the city spent over $100,000 of money FROM the affordable housing trust fund on…consultants. overall, they paid $370k to marketing/comms consultants who didn’t disclose they were being paid by ATL https://t.co/sCfbtsTt8k

Andre Dickens when Atlanta gets a nre porta-potty vs when a noxious gas cloud appears, residents lose water, MARTA fails

@conorsen Theory has a compelling explanation:

The @CityofAtlanta socials are run by the most inept people. What’s the point of posting and deleting this? All we want is a competent team to share useful information
