The ‘New Georgia’ Points to America’s Future Atlanta’s rapidly diversifying suburbs might provide a road map for coexistence in the rest of the country

Georgia has seen dramatic political and cultural changes over the past decade. Metro Atlanta, the epicenter of that transformation, may well be a harbinger of America’s future, @zjilani.bsky.social reports for @newlinesmag.bsky.social

The ‘New Georgia’ Points to America’s Future Atlanta’s rapidly diversifying suburbs might provide a road map for coexistence in the rest of the country

For @NewAmerica
I spent a year exploring how Georgias evolution provides a window into Americas future — how conservatives and liberals are working together to build something totally different.

I hope you read and enjoy my latest in @newlinesmag: newlinesmag.com/reportage/th...

A deeply-reported, richly-textured portrait by @zjilani.bsky.social of Atlanta's rapidly diversifying suburbs, “where white people and minorities, conservatives and liberals, retired suburbanites and young urbanists, transplants and natives are learning to build new types of communities together.” ⤵️

Why is the Department of Homeland Security Cribbing from a White Nationalist? Conservatives have long argued that their calls for immigration restriction are race-neutral. Someone in the administration is making this hard to believe.

The Department of Homeland Security posted an anti-immigrant propaganda poster that was created by a white nationalist who says Members of Congress are "jew owned" and proudly refers to blacks with the N-word. And wait until you see their response to me.

YouTube video by Ojasv Jain The U.S vs. John Lennon - Full Documentary - HD (With Subs)

Before the case of Mahmoud Khalil, there was "The U.S. vs. John Lennon" -- that's the name of the documentary about how the Nixon administration was so angry at John Lennon's antiwar activism that they wanted him deported from the country. www.youtube.com/watch?v=G4Rz...

Many of the protesters are themselves Jewish. Now does this mean that they represent the “Jewish” position? Of course not. There’s a big debate going on. But it does demonstrate the problem with “protecting” people from speech and the government deciding what can be said via censorship.

Conservative Values are Being Destroyed, and It's An Inside Job The Republican Party of Donald Trump and Elon Musk no longer seems to care about basic conservative values. What is America losing in the process?

NEW: The leaders of the current conservative movement seem more guided by 4chan than church. Piety is out, adultery is in. Loyalty to your children is second to loyalty to your social media. Conservative values are being destroyed, and it's an inside job. www.theamericansaga.com/p/conservati...

Wow, finally happened: The average wholesale price for a dozen large white eggs has now broken $8, per USDA.

Should People Be Fired for Social Media Posts? What JD Vance Gets Right and Wrong. The brouhaha around an Elon Musk staffer raises questions that are harder to answer than you might think.

Trump shut down the entire refugee resettlement system. Except for white Afrikaners, apparently

This very stupid story feels important to me. The fact that lots of government workers pay for subscription news sites, and that this is a work expense, was not secret. The spending was public (on USASpending.gov).

What changed? Elon's reply guys raised a ruckus and he RT'd them.

The Anti-Vaccine Propaganda of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., does not want you to think of him as an anti-vaxxer. I have yet to meet an anti-vaxxer—someone who spreads misinformation about all vaccines being harmful—who is comfortable wi...

If you’re just discovering that RFK Jr thinks Black people have special vaccine needs, he made a movie about it.

“We are told that Black people have a very powerful immune system and that vaccines overstimulate it.”

Rep. Rich McCormick (R-GA) says kids should get jobs instead of receiving free school lunches. The school lunch program serves grades preK-12, meaning it includes children as young as 4. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Got more clarity on this after some calls - admin is pointing to some canceled contracts that included family planning, none of it adding up to $50m in condoms though (that would be 1 billion condoms at the rate USAid gets)

DEI Is a Failure Because the Civil Rights Movement Wasn’t About Elite Diversity The tide is turning against modern diversity bureaucracies. But that's not necessarily bad news for progressives, at least if they believe in the goals of the civil rights movement.

DEI was a failure. It was a failure not because it wasn't implemented properly or because we didn't try hard enough.

It was a failure because the civil rights movement wasn't about elite diversity in the first place -- it was about lifting up the poor.

The Telepathy Tapes gets the characteristically empathetic treatment from @matthewremski.bsky.social, w/ really good commentary by @julianwalker.bsky.social.

Happy to have been interviewed for it, but esp. that Beals & Boynton are featured.

Highly recommended.

DEI was an active impediment to the project of building a multiracial working class movement capable of taking on corporate and oligarch power. Rufo did the left a favor in nuking it.

RFK Jr. is a big believer in spelling 2 communicate just as telepathy tapes is. It tends to draw the most support from people on the periphery of autism activism.

RFK Jr. Sought to Stop Covid Vaccinations 6 Months After Rollout Robert F. Kennedy Jr. petitioned the F.D.A. to revoke authorization of the shots at a time when they were in high demand and considered life-saving.

"The Telepathy Tapes" is Taking America by Storm. But it Has its Roots in Old Autism Controversies. "The Telepathy Tapes" is a very well-produced podcast. But even the top expert it relies on has her doubts.

I encourage you to read this interview with Dr. Powell www.theamericansaga.com/p/the-telepa...

Wouldn’t meeting with the president be a pretty normal way for a big city mayor to look out for their people?

What’s David Lynch’s best work?

1/ Telepathy Tapes - Dr Diane Powell working with the Father of Child Psychiatry in the UK, Sir Michael Rutter.

FACT: Powell’s claim at the antivax event of working with him for 6 months in 1987 is true, as per her presentation.

Nonprofit Founded by Stacey Abrams Admits Secretly Aiding Her 2018 Campaign The New Georgia Project, whose leaders also included Raphael Warnock, now a senator, admitted violating campaign finance laws. It agreed to a $300,000 penalty.

The New Georgia Project, a nonprofit founded by Stacey Abrams, said it had violated state law by hiding that it had campaigned for her during her 2018 run for governor. A related nonprofit, the New Georgia Project Action Fund, admitted the same. Both groups have agreed to pay a $300,000 penalty.

Which is the story I broke. Read more here on the #telepathytapes.

I feel the right thing for Ky Dickens and Dr Powell to do is address antivax beliefs, both on a Telepathy Tapes podcast, and on their website & socials.

I hope these kids aren’t being tokenized to lend emotional weight to push an agenda.

Transparency please.
