There's a whole swath of political media -- Semafor, Axios, Politico, etc. -- where the average piece reads like a press release commissioned by its subject rather than an objective and independent analysis of them.

This is just embarrassing.

Assuming this is related to Ben Smith I was honestly shocked by this, an astonishing bit of bootlicking from top to bottom

The Gaza protests not only “provoked intense political conflict.” Liberal and Dem leaders are still calling them antisemites for caring about liberal principles like human rights and international law…and they expect these same kids to come defend liberal democracy!

@brendannyhan.bsky.social is right: young people are reluctant to come to the defense of institutions that have excluded them, ignored them, and crushed their movements

www.nytimes.com/2025/11/24/o...
Consider the experiences of the last few years. The racial justice movement that peaked in 2020 ended in disappointment and backlash. The Gaza protests provoked intense conflict without delivering clear political or policy victories for their organizers. Maybe most important, Mr. Trump himself is back in the White House, suggesting a futility to opposition and activism among young people who have only ever known him as the central figure in our politics. He first took the oath of office when today's first-year college students were in elementary school. The electoral choices offered to young people are not much better. Given the realities of our dysfunctional two-party system, the only alternative to a Trump-dominated G.O.P. is the Democratic Party, which is dominated by a decadent gerontocracy whose elites were more likely to attend a wedding in the Hamptons than a No Kings protest on the same day.

Man, I am so sick of the “Atlanta is a group project” slogan.

Aren’t group projects universally despised (except the ones I gave of course)? And who are the folks in this one who didn’t do any of the work or even show up for project meetings?

Important piece by @tsilverstein.bsky.social

"Avoiding binary thinking will mean that we acknowledge that some cost-inducing policies reduce costs that would be borne elsewhere...It will mean that we look for ways of reducing costs that do not involve trade-offs with social justice implications"

Atlanta's Housing Justice League is calling on folks to "STOP THE TADS" (TADs=TIFs for folks not in Georgia) and this is about Mayor Dickens' proposal to extend 25+ year-old TIFs (many parts of which are in gentrifying nabes) until 2055.

Email councilmembers here:

There's evidence that localities that TIF don't see more growth than similar localities that don't TIF, suggesting zero-sum outcomes (or worse). Some state laws protect school funding (Georgia doesn't do this). Don't know if any states protect local GR budgets in any way.

New, by me, on why the City of Atlanta should not extend its TAD (TIF) districts and how it will hurt, not help, low-income Atlantans.

(Bracing for a new round of ad hominem attacks from Mayor Dickens or his staff/lobbyists, but I am traveling so may not see it.)

🧵1/N
Extending gentrifying Atlanta’s tax districts for 25 years makes little sense
Atlanta's Tax Allocation Districts (TADs) have run their course and we should find more novel ways to spur prosperity, build housing and assist low-income residents.

Oh, my oped against extending 25+ year old TIFs/TADs in Atlanta ran in print today. Nothing like irritating the powers-that-be be twice with the same piece.

Call and email your city council members to tell them to vote NO on extending the TAD.

Sign up for public comment! Sign up to speak out against the TAD extension at public comment at the Community Development/Human Services Committee meeting Tuesday, November 25 at 11 AM or the full Council meeting December 1 at 1 PM.

Stop the TAD Slush Fund! ❌💦🛑

Andre Dickens is trying to rush a vote on extending all 8 of Atlanta’s tax allocation districts BEFORE the new City Council is sworn in. This would mean 30 more years of siphoning money away from our public schools and into for-profit development.
