Aggregated Open Records Requests in GA. Previously (& sometimes still) sharing ATL city council/politics inoperablesink elsewhere

Joined July 2021
This account is transitioning to focus on posting open records received from requests submitted by the public. We believe that open records are for everyone and that you don't have to be a journalist to submit them.

In May 2019, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced a plan to close and repurpose the city jail, following a years-long campaign by local abolitionists pressured her to do so. However, the city's 2020 budget proposal included $18 million for the facility. scalawagmagazine.org/2020/06…

and it’s not just me saying it, everybody’s saying it (the articles in this thread were published as far back as 2018, and detail Keisha’s bullshit from as early as 2016)
We heard Keisha Lance Bottoms, the Atlanta mayor who originally championed Cop City, is running for governor of Georgia. Her list of offenses extends far beyond the police training facility and these evergreen piece highlight a few 🧵 scalawagmagazine.org/2019/05…

People weren’t paying attention to the cop city shit at its inception, so many prolly don’t even know KLBs role in kicking that off and giving the alley oop to Andre Bc when people they trust are in office, they stop paying attention. they tellin ppl who were aware to shut up rn
Keisha Lance Bottoms started the militarized cop city project after we were protesting against Black bodies being brutalized by police departments so I’m extremely unmoved by the representational politics of her win

Today I accepted a plea and was sentenced for my Emory University Palestine protest arrest. I'm asking you to provide my pro bono attorney with some donations in gratitude for her support over the last 2.5 years. Please donate and share! Thank you! gofund.me/bc6a142c4

Say it with me folks - every camera is a cop. Yours. Mine. A journo's. (Yes, no matter what take they give while reporting.) Every. One. These folks don't give a fuck about your freedom, don't let them steer you into cop behavior. You can't be for the pigs and for the people.
Y'all, this is performative af, also, don't do this

We've been experience this too
Newish fad is agencies trying to get out of doing the work of processing FOIAs by refusing to accept them as early as possible. But claiming language stating "any documents..." or "all documents... " automatically makes a request overly broad is a new level of insulting.

New: USPS is to put cameras in its trucks that continuously record. To gather data on roads, signage, and to improve "community safety," the agency tells me. The cameras are marketed to capture passing license plates too, but don't run ALPR software 404media.co/usps-to-put-came…
