Incredible reporting by the team at WSJ. The government is covering up its crackdown on political opposition with bogus charges and claims of assaults. They are defaming hundreds of people and erasing the first amendment

@ganjadin @_ghost_____ @dbessner These are fair critiques of the question that should be answered: 1) what is the criteria for "canonical" and 2) if it includes cultural impact, how is that measured?

@FordFischer @FordFischer I'm a fan of yours. Kenner is a city in Jefferson Parish, adjacent to New Orleans. It's an important distinction in the local political dynamics that national followers should understand. Glad you're here covering.

VIDEO THREAD: Border Patrol agents patrolled the New Orleans neighborhood of Kenner Saturday afternoon, with Commander Greg Bovino knocking on a door with backup agents' hands on their guns as activists blew whistles, warning people of the feds' presence nearby.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

@antigravitymag @Holly_Devon7 @cabrasted Bottom line: Antigravity can survive with recovering ad revenue. That can happen if its readers spend at businesses that advertise in it. Make it a point to voice your support with every transaction.

@antigravitymag has impossibly survived on local ads for 21 years, fiercely committed to its independence and voice. It is sustained by loyal readers who reward local businesses. But this rare gem is close to death as biz pulls back in uncertain economy. See links in comments.

A controversial state law that creates criminal penalties for law enforcement officers who do not cooperate with federal immigration investigations is set to go into effect, putting the Orleans Parish Sheriff’s Office in a legal quagmire. @veritenewsnola shorturl.at/WTagu

Physical confrontation, head spinning accusations and all sorts of chaos at East Bank flood authority as bad blood gets worse between Gov. Landry's appointed board president and other members.

A year after GOP leaders passed a pro-industry package of bills aimed at addressing Louisiana's home insurance crisis, is anything improving? My story:

NEW: We recently heard that the Trump administration was leaning on the government of Gambia to help Elon Musk. For weeks, we made phone calls, wrote letters and knocked on folks’ doors to try to confirm it. But we were stuck. So @js_kaplan and I got on a plane to Banjul. 1/
