MNPD chief is going to make a request for funds to make a "state of the art" training facility in #Nashville. This is why #StopCopCity is important regardless of what city you live in, because it doesn't stop in #Atlanta.

The last thing our city needs is more cops. How about we try better public transit, affordable housing, anything else.

The arrest of the Atlanta Solidarity fund organizers is one of the most important escalations in the country. If #Georgia gets away with this, it will set a precedent for activists across the country.

Such overt authoritarianism can only be met by increased resistance and organizing.

Ughhh fuck them
Apparently the stop work order for Atlanta's cop city was released at 3:02PM and lifted at 4:43 PM. By the time the press release was published, the stop work order was no longer active. Fuck them. Even without the order we will work so Cop City is never built

COP CITY WILL NEVER BE BUILT 🔥

According to Atlanta Community Press Collective, at 8:25pm today, DeKalb County sent out a press release regarding a stop work order for cop city because of erosion concerns. I'm really freaking out right now!!

Stop Cop City everywhere, defend the land anywhere

"The civil rights attorney said the case to date bore similarities to one in which she defended Phoenix-area Black Lives Matter protesters. In that case, all criminal charges against protesters were dropped – including more than 100 felony rioting charges and attempts to tie defendants to what she called a “fake criminal street gang … that does not and has never existed, except as a boogeyman in the state’s head.”

Fallout in the case includes multiple resignations, demotions and even criminal investigations against prosecutors and police, after falsified evidence and other law enforcement abuses were revealed. “I heard all of the same things” at the bond hearing, she said. What happened in Phoenix, she said, “should serve as a warning as to what might happen in Atlanta."

during the recent week of action, i hiked the weelaunee forest. then i wrote about the life we find there https://www.thexylom.com/post/perspective-a-walk-through-weelaunee-forest #StopCopCity #DefendtheAtlantaForest

"What’s indisputable is that police repression has extended into all corners of this movement, amounting to a profoundly undemocratic exertion of state power. From the outset, the voices of the people have been marginalized and subsumed under deference to Atlanta’s police state.

As in the days of brutal repression of the civil rights movement, so too are the levers of state power aligned against the Stop Cop City movement. But there are also reasons for hope. Despite the best efforts of Atlanta authorities to contain the movement, to smear those standing in solidarity as outside agitators, this movement is both intersectional and multilocational.

Beyond the week of action, the battle to stop Cop City continues, in forms ranging from sabotage to legal battles over environmental permitting minutiae. Only time will tell how this movement resolves — whether it succumbs to police repression or whether Cop City will indeed never be built. But it’s been a hell of a fight so far, with the full force of state power brought against the protesters that dare to defy it."

This map from the Atlanta Journal Constitution shows the land swap property which covers the section of the park not covered by the executive order. The legality of access to that section of the park is determined by the outcome of the land swap lawsuit, not Dekalb County.

After checking the news from Georgia Public Broadcasting and reading a copy of an executive order closing (sections of) so-called Intrenchment Creek Park from the Dekalb County CEO that was posted on Friday I made a startling observation:

Weelaunee People’s Park parking lot, where police and contractors have destroyed memorials for Tortugita and posted “no trespassing” signs today (Monday March 27th), is not within any of the closed properties listed in Dekalb County Executive Order 2023-001, the order that is being used to justify today’s horrific actions. Policing and clear-cutting forests pose threats to all life in the Weelaunee forest and beyond.

The executive order can be found on Georgia Public Broadcasting’s website: https://www.gpb.org/sites/default/files/2023-03/dekalb_county_executive_order_03-24-23.pdf

Atlanta Cop City Protesters Charged With Domestic Terror for Having Mud on Their Shoes

The police’s guilt-by-association allegations aren’t designed to get convictions, but to break up a movement.
