A country club that kicked out a law-abiding porn shop owner has just admitted Marjorie Taylor Greene. A morality play, set in Rome, Georgia, for next week's @newyorkernewyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
“They ran Craton off for 'pornography,’" the former Coosa Country Club member said. “But they don’t seem to have a problem with an adulteress who promotes insurrection?” newyorker.com/magazine/2022/…
Notable detail: Greene’s admission to the Coosa Country Club was never put before its membership committee, as is standard for a controversial figure, according to a committee member I spoke to. (He first learned of her admission to the club on Twitter.)

I just read the scorching 5-page letter recently "written on behalf of thousands of parents, alumnae, community supporters & financial donors of Westminster," the most elite of Atlanta's private schools. It's a doozy of a document, signed by "The No Longer Silent Majority." 1/
It takes issue with how "Westminster has gone secular & is being led down a distinct political and ideological track," ie. how an old and conservative bastion of civic power has begun to evolve, under pressure, in ways uncomfortable to those it has historically served best... 2/
....ie. rich white Atlantans. A few selections from the letter follow. This one focuses on the removal of the word "Christian" from school letterhead, as well as concern about teachers criticizing Donald Trump in their personal tweets. 3/
