Surprised I haven’t seen MattY or some @theatlantic.com “centrist” write a piece about how ICE raiding a homeless shelter in Chicago is “sensible policy, actually”

May have missed it of course.

This is not a border crossing.
There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior.

This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

I still dislike her intensely, but I did not have on my 2025 bingo card that Marjorie Taylor Greene would be one of the first members of "Maybe we actually shouldn't eat our own faces" wing of the Republican party.

Bill Torpy @ajc.com with home truths about the mayor's TAD grab.
As @danimmergluck.bsky.social and I have been saying to anyone who'll listen, it's a very bad idea.

Mayor Dickens big plan would ultimately cost taxpayers more

Dickens recently said he wants to extend the city’s tax allocation districts to fund revitalization in under-served neighborhoods. But schools and the city stand to lose.

sorry...

Dan Immergluck @danimmergluck.bsky.social · 1d

Yes, and the biggie is of course “Despite massively rising property values over the last 13 years, city government and its TADs have still managed to leave its lower-residents behind. But trust us now by letting us keep doing what we’ve been doing.”

Well the City of Atlanta may be paying its pro-CopCity lobbyist to try to trash me publicly, but at least I am not a Philadelphia sports fan this morning.

My favorite part is the person who says “I don’t mean to be horribly offensive” just before they say something horribly offensive.

2/3 ...at the link below. (My responses are in boxes in blue text.) This group's name, "Atlantans for Safety," rang a bell. Per it's email, it is "affiliated with Atlantans for Effective Government," apparently led by someone who worked on Mayor Dickens' 2021 campaign & worked to support #CopCity,

3/3... & this group worked to oppose putting #CopCity on the ballot, including seeking the names of everyone who signed petition.

Anyway, I responded as you can see. But sometimes just seeing who is behind something can be answer enough. #TheAtlantaWay

I've argued against a 25-year extension of all the (already) 20+year-old tax increment financing districts (TADs) in Atlanta. Someone sent me an email from "Atlantans for Safety" arguing against my explanation for why extending the TADs is a bad idea. Their email & my responses are (next)...
