As per usual with Joe Biden the solution to police murdering unarmed black people is to give them more officers, more power, more money.
Joe Biden supports CopCity.

This comparison of $100M for CopCity vs the Atlanta TAD extension rhetoric is not to be missed.
If a city tells you they have $100M to construct the largest police training facility in the country in the middle of a global pandemic, but the only way to fund grocery stores, hospitals, transit, and schools is to borrow money from your children’s futures…it is OK to have questions and concerns.

HUGE WIN: LPL and @atlpresscollective.com WINS our challenge against the Atlanta Police Foundation. The APF held numerous records about its behind the scenes efforts to build #CopCity and those records must now be turned over to us.

Ah, more vitriol from the Mayor of Atlanta against folks who dare to question a multibillion dollar, multidecade tax increment financing plan. “CopCity era vibes indeed”
And @atlpresscollective.com recalls his tirade against me last year.

RED ALERT!
Israel with their 90-400 nuclear warheads w/ technology stolen from the U.S. (google it), now wants to combine our military with their military. This is just as Israel says they are taking over Gaza, the W. Bank, Lebanon & Syria. They are threatening Turkey & Egypt.
Trump & Bibi MAD MEN

Liberals don't understand the kind of solidarity we are witnessing in LA. Mexican flags, keffiyehs, Burkina Faso flags: these are protestors who understand the threat runs across state and racial lines.

First, not surprising given city leadership's horrible track record on how it treats protests and protesters.
Second, with all the corporate $ backing the pro-CopCity forces, what is with the home-made-looking surveillance boxes? Looks like the police chief made them in his basement or something.

More PR from Atlanta’s #CopCity lobbyists using feel-good inclusivity & mobility rhetoric that does *not* correspond to extending tax increment financing (TAD) districts to 2055 (!)
“We are all in this together”
(Except if you aren’t a developer, don’t live in a TAD, need truly affordable housing)

Bond’s & @atldemsoc.bsky.social ‘s work pushing back on the massive 30-year TIF/TAD extension was pivotal to mayor cutting it back by ~half by omitting the Beltline & Fulton opting out (but it is still bad).
Probably the best-organized opposition in the city since the anti-CopCity movement.

The socialist movement in Georgia is becoming hard to ignore. Read about how we’re fighting to win a Georgia for the 99% in AJC’s latest coverage 👇 www.ajc.com/politics/202...
Democratic socialists aren’t taking over. But their influence is growing.
The movement has more success nationally than in Georgia. But its members are working to push Democrats to the left at a moment when they are gaining momentum.

The likely reelection of Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, in spite of his government's suppressing the will of over 100k residents (>> # who voted for the mayor) who signed petition to put #CopCity on ballot is one that I'm afraid speaks to power of #TheAtlantaWay & corporate-led regime that runs city.
Atlanta Mayor @andreforatlanta.com really posted a "Cop City" video today bragging about how he lied to the public (go read my Atlanta Press Club Award-winning reporting for @thexylom.com) and tore up South River Forest for a $110 million parking lot with horses attached to it.
