Over the weekend, the Atlanta Journal Constitution's President and publisher, Andrew Morse, thought someone ELSE at his paper needed to write an opinion piece in support of the Atlanta proposed public safety training facility. He just left out his employer's deep financial ties to the Atlanta Police Foundation in doing so, and offered a fwe more audacious statements I took note of, as well.
Then there's this: Atlanta police officials have been using the Signal app to have untraceable conversations ABOUT "Cop City" while supporters like Morse and mayor Andre Dickens, APD chief Darin Schierbaum tout a renewed (?) interest in "transparency." D'oop. Freelance journalist Timothy Pratt broke that story in The Guardian. He joined me today.
There's more, though ... infamour voting rights attorney Marc Elias has signed his firm on to assist the Vote To Stop Cop City" movement to scrutinize the city's attempts to suppress voter participation on the matter. That's huge!
Okay, so we know Georgia Republicans are going to do whatever they damn well wish on redistricting map re-writes, but our Friday guest, Ken Lawler, along with Cindy Battles and others, stepped up to speak to the Georgia Senate subcommittee to voice their concerns over the state's new Congressional map and I figure we could eavesdrop on that.
Lastly, a nut stole a MARTA bus, dropped a passenger off at Waffle House, then took a joyride to Stone Mountain Park. I have questions.
