In Atlanta, the George Floyd demonstrators are being prosecuted as gang members. The activists of today could be next.

A great writeup on Atlanta's Cop City protests, and the political establishment's wider response to protests in a post-BLM world (hint: it's not to listen to protestors' concerns).

They are building a foundation (both infrastructural and legal) for the future they envision, make no mistake.
