Apparently some folks have forgotten that phones can be used without using/blasting the speakerphone, you know by just holding it up to an ear and turning the speaker option off.

An amazing feature really.

In sworn testimony, the Treasury Department says it hasn't seen the money from Venezuela, and doesn't know where it's gone. Time to figure out who's pocketing it. In an overall kleptocracy, this may well be the most brazen act of embezzlement so far. www.ft.com/content/0588...

Do I have this right? #$DASH confirmed the driver ICE shot and abducted was one of theirs but absolutely nothing else on the matter?

I will continue to never use the service or own the stock.

And notice the group that’s paying the most for it, APS, opposed it.

Why give schools their money when we can take it and give it to developers to develop along the Eastside Beltline?

The Atlanta Way.

I hope this is missing key details, because 7% affordable
(at only 80% AMI) is < Beltline IZ & city’s subsidy ordinance requirements.

And why is Atlanta subsidizing (effectively) market-rate housing in one of the hottest parts of the city?

Rereading @tyredden.bsky.social's excellent piece, "Cop City in Wakanda" and hadn't noticed that Atlanta Mayor Andre Dicken's calling me a "classic gentrifier" (among other things) in his angry (someone else called it "unhinged") response to a Linked-In post is now memorialized in scholarship. 🤣

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal.

As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

While ICE agents were shooting Wilber Rafael Garces Perez in Austin on Sunday, their colleagues were violently detaining a US citizen in Evanston, IL who "resembled" a person they were seeking. The victim reported "injuries to his head, neck and teeth":

From me and @adambonica.bsky.social earlier this year

www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...
The pathologies of popularism are further evident in the retirement of Jared Golden. A moderate Democrat who won a Trump-leaning district in Maine, he is something like a LeBron James of politics for popularists. As we noted, however, by 2025 his favorability was deep in the red. In an apparent exception to the popularist principle that you must obey public opinion rather than try to change it, Yglesias did not counsel Golden to retire early due to his low favorability but rather claimed that "progressive criticism of Golden has driven him from office." To add insult to injury, Golden joined Suozzi as one of the seven House Democrats to vote to increase DHS funding two weeks ago - and he took this vote after he announced he wouldn't run again. So much for Ezra Klein's argument that Democrats must "learn from" Golden.

Y'all ready to do some good this week?

How I'd Fix Atlanta has once again partnered with Undue Medical Debt to help out a bunch of our neighbors.

As always, we need your help. Please give what you can and tell everyone you know.

How I’d Fix Atlanta was a free monthly essay series for four years. It’s been a couple of print zines and a performance on a stage a few times. Quite often, it’s stickers.

So in addition to being a former clerk to SCOTUS Justice Neil Gorsuch, Mike Davis’ lobbying clients include Hewlett Packard and Walmart. Have the CEOs of those companies been asked to “disavow” and “sever their relationships” with Mike Davis?? He is a grotesque racist.
