Gridlock ... pollution ...historic cancellations and closures ... so when do we reach a consensus that the dystopian future long predicted is at our doorstep?

Let's ... remember ... Pat Robertson.Then let's review the Mike Pence CNN town hall - while also calling him out for his many hypocricies.

Lastly, a surprise Supreme Court decision on Alabama's Congressional lines may well have repercussions in Georgia.

So what does Chris Christie entering the race do for the GOP presidential primary hierarchy? And why do his attacks on Trump sound like those the Biden/Harris campaign should be writing down?

Then, there's the breaking news: Tia Mitchell at the AJC revealed that a Homeland Security designation used to bolster arrest warrants for the three Atlanta Solidarity Fund volunteers was essentially "made up."

Alex Joseph from the Cop City Vote movement joins me to discuss that and the referendum campaign that launched today.

A tip of the cap to the independent local journalists doing a more thorough job covering the #copcity conversation. I start today's show checking in with Donnell Suggs, editor-in-chief at The Atlanta Voice to get a sense of their coverage from yesterday-last night-this morning's city hall showdown between activists and the 11-4 council vote that came to be.

What about the many acres the city already has it could have used for such a project? Will there, instead, now, be a referendum to *actually* find out what the citizens of Atlanta want (or don't)?

There's more to cover than *just* "cop city," though, so allow me to allow you to eye roll as another Fox News dunderhead stuns us with her wisdom on climate change - oh and this time with some ridiculous religiousity thrown in.

Lastly, another Pride Month nugget - a reminder that today's LGbTQIA+ adults were once "hiding in the closet" LGBTQIA+ children, and it's our own insights into the struggles OF such a childhood that makes us uniquely attuned to their mental well-being. In short, we're only interested in their knowing there's a future of happiness and PRIDE for them, too, if they'll just hang in there.

Public comments abound - most of it (again) against the proposed public safety training facility. You wouldn't know that by following the official city of Atlanta Twitter account - which shared two pro-facility comments before removing those video shares.

Anyhow, you'll hear from Dr. Jackie Echols of the South River Watershed Alliance, along with representation from the NAACP and a passionate pushback from Shannon Cofrin Gaggaro - a close friend of Amy St. Pierre. Amy was a mass shooting victim in Atlanta recently, but was invoked (without name) in a recent op/ed penned by Mayor Andre Dickens. Shannon penned a response op/ed the Cox Media Group-owned AJC has opted not to publish, so the Atlanta Press Collective did. CMG, by the way, is an Atlanta Police Foundation corporate donor.

Both of Georgia's Senators have (finally) weighed in on #copcity in the aftermath of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund arrests, and I have their statements.

WATCH: Atlanta City Council public comments session HERE

More amazing economic news that OUGHT to be making the case for a Biden/Harris 2024 landslide - so WHY do polls not show that? I've some ideas.

Atlanta Solidarity Fund volunteers had their bond hearing today - and the way the judge reacted to the charges is quite telling.

Big updates coming to AmericaOne Radio's app and website, and that got me to waxing grateful.

Lastly, this being Pride month, allow me to share some opportunities for our straight allies to reconsider some things they may think or say (or once did).

Atlanta resident, former state & federal prosecutor Alex Joseph is on to explain the charges against three Atlanta Solidarity Fund volunteers.

Ooh, and HAPPY PRIDE! I'm also joined by Ari Drennen, LGBTQIA+ program director at Media Matters for America to discuss the disparate coverage Fox News has given Target's pride merch vs MORE Catholic sexual abuse allegations coming forward. Who, exactly, is "targeting kids" exactly?

I round out the show with some discussion about Governor Kemp's flex aimed at some Dems in the General Assembly next election cycle and why even I'M skeptical about spending $6.7 million on mass transit.

Whoa; a SWAT raid of the Atlanta Solidarity Fund "Teardown House" netted three arrests for ... "money laundering?" While the price tag for "Cop City" has doubled, this is latest salvo? Interesting. Local activist & writer Micah Herskind joins me to discuss. By the way, GREAT Twitter follow to stay on this: Atlanta Press Collective & MIcah, of course.

Also joining me today, Jeff Graham, executive director at Georgia Equality. Pride month begins tomorrow, but there's a lot of wound-locking going on in the LGBTQIA+ rights movement so he and I will take stock, and discuss their upcoming Evening for Equality gala this weekend, too.

"Dark Brandon" strikes again; staving off a debt default, you can TELL he won the poker match by hearing all the HOWLING from the right. Did Kevin McCarthy mislead the GOP base with these results? Was this the last bullet in the GOP chamber to try and "off" the Biden re-election bid?

Local tidbits about Ed Sheeran in local bars/clubs, a not-so-random Buckhead shooting, more than 15 dead on Georgia roads & waterways and a sad statement from the Carter family that brings "The Notebook" to mind.

On this Memorial Day, I share with you audio from ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, with remarks from Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, Joint Chiefs General Mark Milley, and President Joe Biden.

Mocking the disastrous DeSantis rollout is too easy, so I won't. What I will hone in on, however, is this dangerous "anti-woke" pushback targeting (pardon the pun) Target, Anheuser-Busch, Disney, et al; a WaPo op-ed (with some commentary additions from yours truly) gets us going today.

Been a minute since we've had an MTG update, but we've a doozie today. This 'un had the gall to call for decorum in the same chamber she screeched like a howler monkey during Biden's Sate of the Union. Just precious.

My guest today is Julie Bauke, founder & chief career strategist of the Bauke Group, back to discuss the job market outlook for 2023 grads. We cover a lot - from generational disconnect to the necessity (or is there?) for a college degree, what the debt ceiling (Republican-made) crisis could do to the jobs market and more. Her book, "Stop Peeing On Your Shoes: Avoiding the 7 Mistakes That Screw Up Your Job Search" is a worthy pickup.
