First, something fun: the folks at Wander North Georgia have their "March madness" bracket out - sixteen of the best state parks in North Georgia to visit. I cast my votes - and some were tough calls to make - so feel free to do the same. More importantly, try to visit as many of them as possible!

We learned today that Governor Brian Kemp - now in his second and final term as governor and free of repercussion - went ahead and blithely signed SB 140, making gender-affirming care illegal for minors in the state of Georgia. Facts, data, science, medical consensus be damned with this batch of bigotry now emboldened in the general assembly and governor's mansion. 

Meanwhile, I'm joined today by reporter Adam Federman with Type Investigations, who wrote "How the FBI Used 'Cop City' Protests to Snoop on Activists in Chicago." Shades of J. Edgar Hoover's regime during the height of the civil rights movement, no? 

Lastly, North Carolina's getting. Medicaid expansion while we might get more rural hospitals so our Lt. Governor's dad can enrich himself on a land sale. The "good ol' boy network" is alive and well. Cue Senator Randy "Cataula ain't Buckhead" Robertson who smears a Council on American Islamic Relations representative - in person - by insinuating her and her organization has ties to Hamas. Cringe.
