In Green Waves / Ruairidh MacLean

In Green Waves, by Ruairidh MacLean is one of three winning stories from 3d Wednesday’s annual flash fiction contest. Contest judge, John F. Buckley said, this tale of appetites and silence artfully charts an entire lifetime, from conception to death, without seeming either rushed or glib.You can read it HERE or in the autumn issue of the magazine.

In the early morning of Wednesday, May 31, a heavily armed joint task force of officers from the Atlanta Police Department and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation raided the Teardown House, a long-standing community center in Edgewood—a historically Black, rapidly gentrifying neighborhood in Atlanta—that doubles as a home for community organizers.

The police arrested Marlon Kautz, Adele Maclean, and Savannah Patterson, three activists who help run the Atlanta Solidarity Fund, a mutual aid and bail fund founded in 2016. Their arrests were predicated on allegations of “charity fraud” and money laundering—all connected, quite tenuously, to the effort to stop the building of the infamous police training center known as Cop City.

On Monday, Cop City took another step forward, as the Atlanta City Council voted 11-4 to spend an additional $30 million of public money on the project—bringing the city’s total funding to $67 million. The council did this after more than 14 consecutive hours of impassioned public comment against the project.

The one-two punch of the arrests and the vote can be viewed in tandem. The charges against Kautz, Maclean, and Patterson make a mockery of the notion of fair justice. They are so laughable that even the judge presiding over the three activists’ bail hearing pronounced himself skeptical about them. Similarly, the Atlanta government’s obvious contempt for its citizens makes a mockery of the notion of real democracy. And in both cases, that is the point: to send a message that anyone with the temerity to oppose Cop City will be crushed by the state, one way or the other.

For the better part of two years, a diverse group of Atlantans—from environmentalists to neighborhood groups to police abolitionists—have been organizing against Cop City, a massive, militarized so-called “Public Safety Training Facility” being built in the middle of the Weelaunee Forest. The forest is a critical natural resource, known as one of the four “lungs” of the city of Atlanta. The name Cop City reflects the project’s most ominous feature: a mock city where police will be trained to surveil, target, and kill citizens more effectively. The construction of Cop City would come at an enormous cost to Atlanta taxpayers and raze up to 381 acres of critically important forestland.

The dissent against the destruction of the forest is strong, but so too is the corporate and political heft behind Cop City. The Atlanta Police Foundation, the corporate-backed nonprofit that is funding much of the project, is widely viewed as one of the most powerful organizations of its kind in the country. When it tells City Hall to jump, City Hall usually asks how high. Elected officials have chosen to mostly ignore the widespread opposition, making the calculation that it will be easier to weather their constituents’ anger than risk running afoul of corporate and police interests. (It’s also easy to pose as above the fray if you know that the police and the legal system will do your dirty work for you.)

That Atlanta is gentrifying at a breakneck speed helps explain the fanatical insistence that Cop City be built. (It also explains the city’s hostility toward the Teardown, a bulwark of resistance that, among other things, gives out free food to its neighbors.) Since 1990, Atlanta’s Black population has decreased from 67 percent to 48 percent. In 2022, Money magazine named the city as the best place in the country to live. If you are Money’s target demographic, this is probably true. For everyone else, particularly Black Atlantans, it is a place of struggle and organized abandonment by the state.

The government’s escalating response to the movement against Cop City can be seen through this lens. Police protect capital and power, not ordinary citizens. A massive militarized police facility promises to quell dissent of the sort we saw grip the country in the summer of 2020. Cop City sends a clear message: Developers, your money is safe here; citizens, you are safe as long as you acquiesce to the demands of the police state.

Resistance to Cop City has been tireless and has been met with severe repression. In 2021, the Atlanta City Council ignored nearly 17 hours of public comment opposed to Cop City, voting in favor of funding the project. Police immediately arrested demonstrators outside of council member Natalyn Archibong’s home (the council was still meeting remotely because of the pandemic).

The state’s response has spiraled from there. On January 18, 2023, Manuel Esteban Paez Terán, known as Tortugita, was shot and killed by a group of Georgia State Patrol officers. They were left to die with 57 bullet wounds in their body. Tortugita was a forest defender who had been living in the trees they hoped to save when they were slain. Police immediately claimed that Tortugita had been firing a weapon at them, but the government’s official autopsy found no traces of gun residue on their hands, and a family autopsy determined that they actually had their hands raised at the time of their death. No police officers have been charged in connection with Tortugita’s death, nor are they likely to be.

In addition to Tortugita’s killing, 42 people have been charged with domestic terrorism, three with police intimidation and stalking for placing Stop Cop City flyers on mailboxes. Now we can add the Atlanta Solidarity Fund arrests to that list. These charges all have two things in common: wild disproportionality and a virtually nonexistent foundation in real evidence.

Len and Cub: A secret love

Len Keith and Cub Coates fell for each other in early 20th-century New Brunswick, Canada. MacLean's -- Canada’s premier current affairs magazine -- tells their story here.

[allthecanadianpolitics]

The Conservative Party of  Canada is launching a multimillion-dollar ad campaign that depicts its leader, Pierre Poilievre, as a family man who wants to fix the country — all while his party is soaring in the polls and his main rival is going through a public split with his spouse.

"This is not a branding campaign. This is an amplification of who Pierre is and always has been," said Regan Watts, a former senior adviser to the Conservative foreign affairs minister Lawrence Cannon.

"He's warm, he's kind, he's empathetic and he listens… It's important for people to delineate between Parliament Hill and the rest of the country, engaging with Canadians one-on-one. "

Two of the three ads focus on showing a more human side of Poilievre, whose aggressive, bulldog style has seen him spar with journalists and politicians alike, prompting Maclean's magazine to ask "Why is Pierre Poilievre so angry?"

A senior Conservative source confirmed to CBC News that the party will spend more than $3 million over three months to push three bilingual ads in every province and territory. [...]

Iconique et symbolique.

Peu de photographies obtiennent ce statut qui les fait passer à la postérité. C’est le cas de celle illustrant cet enfant juif et cet enfant palestinien, l’un portant une kippa, l’autre un keffieh. Ils sont bras dessus, bras dessous. Le geste innocent et sincère de deux "copains" que le conflit israélo-arabe fracasse depuis des dizaines d’années. Avec la recrudescence des hostilités depuis une semaine, cette photographie, celle de l’espoir d’une paix durable a rejailli sur les réseaux sociaux.

En 1993, le magazine Maclean’s, l’un des plus importants du Canada, lui commande une photo d’illustration. "Nous sommes en 1993, au moment des accords d’Oslo", ceux qui scellent une paix que beaucoup pensent durables entre Israéliens et Palestiniens, représentés par le Premier ministre Yitzhak Rabin d’un côté, Yasser Arafat de l’autre. "Le magazine souhaitait une image qui représente la paix, l’espoir de paix, ce long chemin vers la paix, après tant d’années de conflit."

the rocket man

“Doug,” he said, about five in the afternoon, as we were picking up our towels and heading back along the beach near the surf. “I want you to promise me something.

“Don’t ever be a rocket man.”

I stopped.

“I mean it,” he said, “because when you’re out there you want to be here, and when you’re here you want to be out there. Don’t start that. Don’t let it get hold of you.

“You don’t know what it is. Every time I’m out there I think, if I ever get back to Earth I’ll stay there, I’ll never go out again. But I go out and I guess I’ll always go out.”

“I’ve thought about being a Rocket Man for a long time,” I said.

He didn’t hear me. “I try to stay here. Last Saturday when I got home I started trying so damned hard to stay here.”

I remembered him in the garden, sweating, and all the traveling and doing and listening, and I knew that he did this to convince himself that the sea and the towns and the land and his family were the only real things and the good things. But I knew where he would be tonight: looking at the jewelry in Orion from our front porch.

“Promise me you won’t be like me,” he said.

Everyone kept calling him Tony Hadley.
