@wesley for everything non-"Cop City", Mastodon received almost an entire order of magnitude more reactions, especially on Fridays. However, since a lot of "Cop City" coverage (and announcements from City of Atlanta) occurs on Twitter, we are still there to keep a pulse on things

Our highlight of the week is a data visual created by @alexip718 which puts into context the gun violence epidemic in the rural American South.

KFF Health News' Renuka Rayasam headed to Phillips County, Arkansas, which topped the country in per capita rate of gun homicides, to see how generational racism and disinvestment have led to dire outcomes:

For years, solar panels were too expensive for most churches and other nonprofits to consider. Federal tax credits that cut costs by up to 30% were available to homeowners but inaccessible to churches that don’t pay taxes.

The Inflation Reduction Act, passed in August 2022, changed that situation.

At a packed meeting in Darien, Georgia Thursday, officials failed to answer questions about the origin of a controversial zoning rewrite for the historic Hogg Hummock community on Sapelo. But the Gullah Geechee people who call the island their ancestral home know it didn’t come from them. They were excluded from the planning, they say.
