Well, @realDonaldTrump -- I think @Outkast probably said it best: "The South Got Somethin' To Say" #DefendThe5th @BigBoi

DEKALB COUNTY: If you vote at the North DeKalb Senior Center or the Briarwood Rec Center, you can still go vote until 8:22p & 8:29p! Make your voice heard—and stay in line!

Replying to @Delta
@Delta we need to have a talk about DL582. Crew was as good as they could have been - don’t make a crew that started at MSY at 5 AM do a down and back to ARUBA? Let them stay. I have no complaints about service that aren’t justified by this ham handed turnaround. Do better.

Oh. And retire the 757-200s. Or use them for non-vacation routes - like you used to from ATL-EWR. This plane is done.

My overall experience with @VirginAtlantic has been spectacular, definitely will fly again. A warning tho: if you upgrade to “Economy Delight,” you’ll be unable to later move to an exit row should it become open! Big bummer. Agent was super friendly and apologetic.

For me, this is Jimmy Buffett’s greatest moment. 3.5 minute story of a man searching for meaning in life to come to the end with the knowledge that experiences and connections with family and friends are what make life so rich. Masterful songwriting. RIP. youtu.be/bwaqJOsm9Lk?si=NESi…

For a hub to hub flight it sure is amazing how often @Delta has to wait for a gate going in to Seattle.

Have y’all ever opened up @ForeFlight after an update on a commercial flight with headphones in? Because wow that sound is confusing. IYKYK.

The realities of Atlanta United were on display last night and the world was watching. Six coaches since launch in 2017. Multiple roster rebuilds, unmet expectations, inconsistent/naive tactics, mediocre results.

Hey @ajc I respect your “contribution” to local journalism. But this sort of behavior means you’ll never see another dime from me.

This. Right. Here. I’m not even talking about the merits of the facility - just the audacity of our city council members to stare in the face of their constituents and say “you don’t know what you’re talking about. I know best.” Thanks to @LilianaforATL for having a spine

It’s weird how so many cite the Bible to justify their homophobia, yet they ignore sooo many other rules in the book. Not to mention that the Leviticus verse being cited forbade men with young boys, not other men, until it was bigot-translated in the RSV version in 1946. #pride

What’s the point of representative democracy if the people show up for hours to represent themselves and are still ignored by their elected officials? Especially disappointed in @WestmorelandATL
shoutout to my council member @LilianaforATL for being a real one every day

Rather than looking at the November numbers result and imposing some kind of self-limiting narrative about the scope of their mandate, MN Dems looked at their priorities and said “How much of the list can we get done?” Turns out the answer was “Almost everything.”

Do police and fire fighters need training? Yes. Does this facility provide that in a way that could cost less on more appropriate land? Yes. Did it need to cost someone their life? No. Stop this insanity and start asking questions @andreforatlanta and let it go. /end

This will do nothing for recruitment or retention of police officers. Anything you read about that is officer morale based on pay, pensions, and public perception of the police. There aren't recruits out there saying, "Dude, I chose Atlanta because they had new white boards!" /11

I have a lot of thoughts on #CopCity but the biggest question I have is this. The @atlpolicefdn says that the training center is needed b/c the old facilities are in disrepair and out of date. So why, before we cut down a forest and give them $30M of Atlantan's money /1

I cannot say enough good things about @SenatorWarnock on CNN etc tonight. I feel like my elected representative is… representing me? This is weird.
