U.S. President Joe Biden has voiced deep concern over Georgia’s democratic regress and urged a transparent investigation into allegations of widespread violations during the October 26 elections that the ruling Georgian Dream party claims to have won with a majority.

      Aha, I lose. I was literally about to comment “urge? He’s the damn president, he should be doing more than urging them to look at it!” until you made me realise it wasn’t the Georgia that has to listen to him

        I’m honestly glad he wasn’t, because if the situation here in Atlanta could be accurately described as “backsliding” that’d be really fucking bad!

        But also, and I cannot stress this enough, fuuuuuuuck Cop City, though.

        (I live in Atlanta, not too far from it, and am pissed off not only about the militarized police bullshit but also how the site they chose for it fucked up my side of town. They stole what could’ve been the biggest park in southeast Atlanta!)
