Laughably, Abrams took to social media after the ruling to claim victory. Abrams thought she had one trick left up her sleeve. Namely, a lawsuit filed by her “voting rights” organization seeking to strike down parts of Georgia’s election system under the guise of “voter suppression.” Unfortunately for her, a federal judge appointed by Barack Obama ruled that nothing about Georgia’s election system violates the US Constitution or the Voting Rights Act.....]

One of Atlanta’s newest city council members continues to break glass ceilings — even the ones that not many people know or care about.

He shuffles when he walks, blank stare, shaking hands with people who don’t exist. He’s talking to dead people now.
