The tone of this post at the beginning reminded me of 2020 tweets about the problematic origin of, say, eenie meenie miny moe. Expected it to end with “really disappointed that people are platforming this galaxy”
“More accolades are needed for this research”

“Through science or magic”
Cities and schools are not powerless. Atlanta can improve supports for those facing eviction. The district can ease transfers and provide continuity of service even when a kid moves. But they're playing cards with a stacked deck, and the state has incredible leeway to lessen the crisis.
Few environmental factors are more disruptive to learning than housing instability. Atlanta doesn't have the power to raise minimum wage (because of preemption laws) or lower childcare costs (can't raise revenue through income tax to move the needle here because, again, preemption).
The other day a state senator took time to deride Atlanta's schools for low scores despite high funding. Articles like this help explain how state inaction (few housing protections, low minimum wage, no childcare supports) helps create the situation he mocked

Hmm. This will stick with me for a while. Ghoulish
But at least it’s also a huge bummer
Also I guess I should start crafting a "I undermined the rights of students with disabilities to seem more conservative in my governor run and all I got was this t-shirt" shirt for Chris Carr as my guy is DOA
Just took a look at polling and the fact that Bottoms (D) and Jones/Jackson (R) are the front runners of the election is making me question everything.

Why do I have to pretend that I'm going to print something in order to save it as a PDF. Why do I have to engage in a little ruse.
Greg why do you think Gov. Kemp is so bad at picking candidates?
Interesting! I had always heard that a lot of his solid political moves were due to his wife's instincts and connections. I think he's trying to find folks who are Trumpy enough without being too Trumpy and that's a really hard person to find in this climate in the Republican party.
Gov. Kemp is fascinating. He’s popular for being Trumpy (see: his initial run) but also for standing up to Trump (2020 election). He reads the winds well for himself (not running for senate rn) but can’t pick a good candidate to save his life (Loeffler and Dooley). www.ajc.com/politics/202...
It’s a Whiskey Friday with Tony Dokoupil miracle!
I feel like if I told you that I made a mistake and kissed a snake, your first question would not be to ask the size of the medical team that assisted me in my recovery

Georgia pol folks: how big is this First Liberty Building and Loan ponzi scheme as a scandal for political contributions to the Republican party?
Excuse me? The Dow is at 50,000
On days off like today you know what I wish wasn’t a legal monument to white supremacy? Stone Mountain

It will either bankrupt essential services, drive up the sales tax, or both.
“An analysis by the Georgia Budget and Policy Institute found the state would need to impose a 12% state sales tax — tripling the current 4% rate — to generate the same amount of revenue.”

Post Script: You cannot find Rev. Campbell's likeness in the Georgia state capitol. You will find, however, on the capitol grounds find a statue of one of his many tormentors: John Brown Gordon, former head of the KKK and Confederate General.
