Sheesh, talk about a (Republican macho) man who relies really heavily on makeup.

Make sure you give Mindy enough space to scream at the top of her lungs about this happening in Georgia
Gwinnett County officials announced on Friday that they will not use eminent domain after all to take more than 10 acres of land that has belong to a prominent Black family in south Gwinnett for more than 100 years.
The decision to not go through the courts to force the Livsey family into selling two properties, known as the “lake property” and the “apartment property,” comes after a public backlash. After news broke earlier his week that Gwinnett planned to use eminent domain to take the land, it was quickly panned on social media.
The county wanted to add the land to a planned historical park that would have included, among other things, recreations of antebellum slave quarters. The park is being put on property the county has already acquired from the Livsey family.

I heard about this in a headline on the radio last night, and wanted to read more about it! Thanks for the reminder!
[ETA] More on the history of this land and how it intersects with Gone With the Wind…

They were trying to force a current-day Black family to lose their family land in order to (performatively) put re-creations of slave quarters for 18th and 19th century Blacks on the land instead?

That sounds terrifying for him. I am very glad it worked out ok.
But shows that there are allies out there and chances to demonstrate allyship abound if we straight white folks would pull our heads out and be alert for them.

Sure. It’s the schools that are to blame.
They don’t offer any policies, ideas or solutions that will help young voters. All they have going for them are authoritarian candidates who will protect rich, white men and corporations.
Get ready for a campaign to repeal the 26th Amendment.

I have to believe that many to most of the people in the Californian influx are due to living costs rather than political alignment, so over time I would think they’d make the state more purple, not more red.
