So how exactly did "Stop Cop City" folks get all those signatures? A good in-depth AJC piece dove into that, plus gave some dismaying estimates from a (not hardly impartial) firm prepping to validate the petitions.
Also, noteworthy the relative relief many Cobb County residents are feeling with the hopes they'll be drawn out of Marjorie Taylor Greene's district. We think.
In my attempt to implore that "local elections matter," going into what'll be a low-turnout Tuesday, I can't stress enough the importance of weighing in on local school board races (ask a Cobb County voter how important that is).
Speaking of local races; I can hear the dogwhistle being blown into by the likes of one GOP backer in Johns Creek who's concerned about "riffraff" coming to her community if "Democrats" come there or are in power there.
Okay, fine; I reached out to the candidate her comments not-so-subtly allude to: Devon Dabney, city council post 2 candidate in Johns Creek. She and I bemoan dogwhistle politicking and concerns about housing affordability and the opioid epidemic, there, too.
But wait, there's more! A GOP-led effort to carve out a new Gwinnett County city is all about fending off mixed use (read: apartment) housing. I mean, where exactly are the retail minions going to live?
Oh, I also went "meme-busting," this time busting a meme targeting anyone who dares show empathy to Gaza citizens and/or Palestinians in general.
