Line of the night. Also, Collins keeps bringing up Hasan Piker, and I can tell you from personal experience looking that not one person in 20 in Georgia could identify Piker with a gun to their head.

We have reached the place where Ukraine is justified in attacking an American oil tanker at a Russian fuel port, using American munitions, to prevent a diesel sale in US dollars that would be used to fund the purchase of Russian weapons that might predictably be used against Ukraine or NATO allies.

President Donald Trump has few options to reduce diesel prices given the destruction done to refineries by the wars in Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

CEO Lorraine Cochran-Johnson just cold-called half of DeKalb County in Georgia to an online town hall meeting about voting in the midterms. As in, there's a town hall, right now, and you're joining it live in progress unless you hang up. Something like 40,000 people stayed on the call.

The rush to accuse, without anything approaching due diligence, artists of using "AI," should be treated with contempt. An artist gets their work *ripped off* to train a plagiarism machine, which then shits out inferior versions of that work, so then you accuse the artist of using "AI"? Fuck you.

I write about democracy. I have been following the president's public comments about elections closely. At a recent rally, he told his followers to "cheat like hell." We've been looking for some grand plot at the top to interfere with the midterms. Suppose it's simpler than that. Pardons. Again.

ICE is arresting a record number of pregnant women and teenagers, according to government documents obtained by the Guardian. At the same time, the agency appears to have lost count of how many suffered a miscarriage. 🧵

Two charts side by side. The first shows the number of pregnant people in ICE detention, which peaks in November 2025. The second shows the number of miscarriages recorded by ICE, until October 2025, when ICE said it has no updated information on the number of miscarriages.

INBOX: with the departure of Drew Kann from the Atlanta Journal constitution, by my count, there are no longer any full-time print or digital climate reporters dedicated to serving Atlanta, the 7th-largest US media market, with control of the Georgia Public Service Commission on the line this fall.

Drew Kann

Award-winning digital storyteller, reporter and editor covering the effects of climate change and the energy transition.

7h Edited

I suppose it's time to share some news about me:

Today is my last day at the Atlanta

Journal-Constitution and, for now at least, my last as a working journalist.

I'm not going to lie. It was a really tough decision to leave my role and this business, but I'm really excited about the opportunity I have in front of me come on that soon. more to

I spent a lot of time this week reflecting on what I've enjoyed most over the last ~5 years covering climate, environment and energy in Georgia, my home state. Without a doubt, it's 1) the places I got to experience here 2) the people I got to meet that I will miss the most.

I've spent most of my life in Georgia, but the opportunity to cover environmental issues here opened my eyes to just how rich it is in natural beauty. I'd encourage you to hit the road and experience the Peach State's wild places for yourself.

To my soon-to-be former colleagues: These are difficult times, but the journalism you produce is vital to the health of our city, state and country. Don't ever forget that and I'll be cheering you on from afar.
