@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms i don't mind typing it out publicly; as i do so multi-times daily 'else it damn near disappears😅:

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms i also ran for mayor in 2017. keisha won~in my opinion~via having the most money in the race. had the democratic establishment behind her as the news media assumed the frontrunners for us.
anyway during this undemocratic election-cycle keisha repeatedly sat my as i was left out..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms ..of debates, town halls and the entire narrative of who was running. what was a sick side effect of this is there was essentially 0 reporting on the why these 10+ peoples were running-allowing it to be simplified to a pony race rather than something dignant, equitable..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms ..democratic.

anyways during the campaign; keisha blocked me on twitter.

easier to ignore valid criticisms and contrasting interactions-except the fact that as a city council member she could not legally do do..do so she did..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms ..after the @KeishaBottoms "victory" her @CityofAtlanta administration began likewise illicitly blocking me on here; instagram; other social medias(medium)

many of her staff-public officials-are also repeatedly blocking me & multiple variations of my 30 so sock-puppet accounts..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms @CityofAtlanta as per 'knight institute v. trump' wheren it were decided that legally; public officials and entities are barred from blocking their constituents on social media; as here technically is a virtual public square-and them restricting your protected speech suchly is prohibited..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms @CityofAtlanta ..after a year of getting blocked for speaking truths on this matter-i decided to submit an open records request for the block lists of @CityofAtlanta + @KeishaBottoms - the contents of which did show proof of their repeated systematic illegal acts of repeated blockings..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms @CityofAtlanta This record request; sent in Feb of this year went unanswered; i got in contact with her office via phone on multiple occasions for an update & got no help there.

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms @CityofAtlanta i cc'd a bunch of news-reporters in an email i sent to [e-mail] on august 22nd asking again for an update on my open records request; as it is supposed to not take 6+ months to be acknowledged or filled..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @wsbtv @KeishaBottoms @CityofAtlanta ..so i went on the local news: 👁‍🗨👁
cbs46.com/news/man-fight…

+ an attorney with the state of GA also stepped in and informed city hall that; yeah; you can't be blocking your citizens on social media. the public square is for elevating voices not silencing them!

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB ..after the state stepping in & informed bottoms/city hall of the law; i received an email saying that the record would be released..at that point~curious and completely inexplicably outtheblue both @CityofAtlanta & @KeishaBottoms mysteriously unblocked me and my 30 some alts..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @CityofAtlanta @KeishaBottoms on oct 4th the records were released..at last; though they were - surprise surprise - scrubbed of their contents completely (blank)🤔

being that the public record - between my request submission to right before their release - would contain my account aswellas many many alts..

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @CityofAtlanta @KeishaBottoms now it's subtle-but conspiring to tamper with / falsify a public record is actually probably as big of a legal pantsshitting, ethically, as the repeated censorship when directly faced with the legal reasoning of it on the near daily.

i don't believe these are actions of a leader

@Kmc96241610 @AaronDiamantWSB @CityofAtlanta @KeishaBottoms i believe these to be the actions of a power abusing coward.

(but iam **slightly** soured by the steadfast ignoration & a society which stomps on the vulnerable while engorging theyselve)
