"These exchanges are not in early proposal stages. They include signed agreements and draft deeds that would privatize public land for residential development, allowing landowners to build luxury estates up to 15,000 square feet in size — an essential detail the NPS has otherwise failed to disclose to the public." https://georgiarecorder.com/2026/05/14/cumberland-at-a-crossroads-a-tipping-point-for-coastal-georgia/

Since at least 2008, tests have shown high levels of PFAS chemicals in the Conasauga River. Despite repeated warnings from scientists, other states, and the EPA, Georgia's Environmental Protection Division has done virtually nothing to confront the problem. https://apnews.com/article/pfas-water-contamination-georgia-alabama-f99eddb12d52583cf763613001e2eb8c

Georgia Lt. Gov candidate Greg Dolezal has decided that "stopping sharia law" is going to be a major facet of his campaign.
His campaign has put out an AI generated video that manages to invoke bigotry in every frame.

That polling data must be bleak as hell. Good riddance.

Just got a notification that the FBI has raided the Fulton County Georgia election office. They had previously demanded their voter data from 2020. Seems like they’ve decided since Fulton County denied their request Doofus has sent his goons to steal it. #GAPol #Lawlessness #Fascism #Resist

Keeping track of things at the back-in-session #Georgia Legislature, and this seems a little on the nose in our current environment.
-
I'm most of the way through creating the API for my #Georgia state legislature tracking.
There's still some cleanup, but it provides:
- list of sessions
- chamber summaries
- committee info
- legislation info
- votesI need to tie legislation to authors/sponsors. And then create a website for it. After that I will add RSS feeds and, finally, Fediverse bots to let you follow legislation and/or members in your feed.
It's just the API currently, and nothing is set in stone. You can see the FastAPI docs here: https://api.gacracker.us/docs
If you have suggestions or notices bugs, please let me know.

TL;DR: What are good methods for managing a few hundred bots on #GoToSocial?
I talked a couple weeks ago about my project tot make it easier to follow the work of the #Georgia state legislature.*
I'm hoping to take the initial API live in a couple of days. But now I'm thinking ahead to the Fediverse accounts I want to have.
In addition to the main, summary accounts, I intend to have accounts for each district, so "(at)GaSenate1" for Senate district 1 (no tags on those posts, you either follow or you don't.)
I've written number of bots, but handling bot overhead - not to mention authentication to get the tokens - seems a bit daunting when you're talking about 250is accounts.
What are some good ways to do this? Since I'll control the server and everything I'd like to script as much as possible. And I probably won't use actual bot code for the posts, just end point points directly.

I'm working on a new project to make it easier to follow the #Georgia state legislature.
Besides a website and RSS feeds, I'm thinking of mastodon account that posts legislative action.
I'm curious if it'd be worth it to make individual accounts for votes by each member. Partly that seems like overkill. But part of me thinks it be easier to just follow, say, your reps.
I'm interested in thoughts, and boosts appreciate

Just another example of #government officials abusing their office. #gapol #uspol

Petty little insecure man #Trump withdraws support for #MarjorieTaylorGreene
"I am withdrawing my support & endorsement of 'Congresswoman' Marjorie Taylor Greene, of the great state of #Georgia," Trump posted on Truth Social.
Greene, a member of the House of Representatives, has long been a reliable ally & fierce defender of Trump but in recent weeks she has taken positions at odds with the White House & some of her fellow #Republicans.

Btw, I expect all the angry anti-Trumpers in GA to turn out and flip these two statewide Public Service Commission seats today. Off-year elections go to the motivated party!

Tori Branum is the disgusting human who subjected immigrants to incarceration, many of whom were in the country legally just because she felt like it. MAGA KKKaren Tori Branum couldn’t just mind her business; she had to hurt other human beings to make herself feel good and boost her grift. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/trump-branum-republican-hyundai-georgia-immigration-raid-1235422245/ #uspol #gapol #georgia #hyundai

So a political consultancy called big dog strategies made an attack mailer against Jon Ossoff using grok.
But when they sent it to USPS for delivery, I think they sent the wrong image for USPS for display in informed delivery.
Instead of a copy of the mailer, it was a screenshot of the conversation they had with Grok.
And now it’s sitting in a ton of folks informed delivery summary.

Haven't talked about this a lot on here, but I've been outside knockin doors all year to support Kelsea Bond, who's running for Atlanta City Council District 2! They're a candidate who fights for working class folks in the city and helped organize Starbucks unions in across the Atlanta Metro. Their top issues are supporting affordable housing and building green mass #transit in #Atlanta!!
If this sounds like things you like, feel free to chip in to our campaign, or help us get out and canvas sometime. We don't take any corporate donations, so we're funded on grassroots supporters.

An elementary school principal (with review by the BOE) decided to send home a letter apologizing because a guest speaker mentioned that someone involved in the the topic he was speaking about was gay.
Just shockingly spineless.

Honestly, if you ever had been fearing Trump's shysters' efforts to move the election-manipulation case away from Georgia into to perceived safe haven of Trump-appointed federal judges — Don't be!
Moving Trump's case to federal courts ***will not*** eliminate the charges brought in Georgia, & Trump will never be able to pardon himself or be pardoned by a "Republican" co-conspirator in presidential office for what he set on foot & supported in Georgia!

@palmerreport For the US and UK I use #USPolitics and #UKPolitics. I don't know about other countries; maybe other people can suggest something.
For US states I suggest a variation on the Twitter convention using the Mastodon capitalization convention (for screen readers), e.g. #GAPol, #AKPol, #DCPol, etc.

Note to self: after paying attention to the Speaker of the House chaos for the first time last night, I gotta start calling my Representative and Senators on a regular basis.
The goal is to call at least once per month, but ideally, weekly.
The best resource for this is https://5calls.org/Easiest way is to call at night or weekends and just leave a voicemail to avoid awkwardness of speaking to an actual human clerk 🥲

Republican #Georgia Secretary of State Brad #Raffensperger renews his push to have the legislature end some* #runoffs in the state after a breakneck 4 week period led to long early voting lines and some issues with absentee voting. #gapol
*only general runoffs, not primary runoffs
