@WBRZ Cleo Fields’ district has been abolished, and that of all other districts in the state. How do you run in a primary race for a seat that does not exist?

@HunterMrs7888 @queenie4rmnola New Orleans thinks it’s the only part of the state. Keep your politicians to yourselves. We don’t want them.
English
@Wednesday1776 @queenie4rmnola New Orleans is not Louisiana’s problem. It is one of the only reasons Louisiana still has an economy worth talking about.
Oil and gas may make up a major share of the state’s economy, but pretending New Orleans is irrelevant is economically illiterate.
English
New Orleans generates $10 billion annually from our tourism industry. Our port generates $31.8 billion, over 8% of Louisiana’s GDP. Yet, we’re being politically disenfranchised, punished for being a majority Black city. This is exploitation
English
The oil and gas industry supplies Louisiana with about 25 percent of our economy. None of that is generated by New Orleans, largely bc of the utter corruption and crime that’s endemic in the city. Clean that mess up, and I’d be willing to consider having any member of its government represent me.
English
@Wednesday1776 @queenie4rmnola New Orleans generates a huge amount of the money. Calling New Orleans a ‘drain’ is politically emotional, not economically honest. Louisiana is happy to take the tax revenue, tourism dollars, and port money, just not honest enough to give the city credit for generating it.

I have friends that never recovered from “how I met your mother” syndrome.
Girls watched those shows too, and it had the same effect — if not more damage.
Under-discussed aspect of current gender wars is the role these shows played in shaping feelings about gender dynamics

@MeghanMcCain Oh how projection of grief exploitation creates a bitter irony. Got any more friends with “foundations” you can give $$$$ to so that you can say you’re helping fire victims, Karen?
English
How the hell is Spencer Pratt is “exploiting grief”? He, his wife, children and parents lost their homes and everything in it in a fire because of Karen Bass and her failed policies.

LA Mayor Karen Bass: Well, honestly, before this, I had never heard of Spencer Pratt. But the thing I am concerned about is that I feel like he’s exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades. And I think that’s reprehensible.

@SuzieQSnowflake @marceelias Do you live here? Nobody voted. Until today. The congressional districts have to be redrawn per court order. How on earth can you vote for a person to fill a seat that does not exist?
English
@Wednesday1776 @marceelias The election was already taking place. People had already voted. That wasn’t a violation of a court order.
English
Can someone let the AP know that violating court orders is not a sign of "executive power. " It is a sign of contempt, lawlessness and authoritarianism.

I am 51 and deeply regret not having kids.
I was stringently brainwashed into believing that I should never have children.
I’ve never even been pregnant as far as I know. I was on birth control from age 16 through age 49.
Larissa Phillips@larissaphillip
I feel so disgusted with the generational vibe that told us that having kids wasn’t a priority and that being a mom was kind of a lesser path. Dealing right now with someone close to me who completely missed the life she should have had, which would have made her very happy— as a mom of a bunch of kids. She believed the social justice messages and made other choices. Materialistic superficial choices btw. She’s traveled extensively and has fancy appliances and a nice (huge, empty) house — and a bunch of social justice bona fides. She was misled. This isn’t someone who was always a bit salty and never wanted kids. She wanted them, but it seemed lame and selfish and not as important as her SJW pursuits. (Which amounted to what? Nothing. The whole thing was a vibe.) I have the same life advice.

@simar7124 @queenie4rmnola It even smells like that

@Wednesday1776 @queenie4rmnola Yea, N.O. Much of Louisiana has had its share of corruption. The last 2 decades N.O. Has become like a crap filled toilet in a truck stop restroom.

At this point I think we should just let state legislatures appoint representatives and let the Senate be the popularly elected chamber

🚨 HUGE: Gov. Mikie Sherrill announces plan to redistrict New Jersey, in order to offset new right-wing gerrymanders in the South. This could net Democrats 2 new seats in Congress.

@shagbark_hick I pay gargantuan property taxes to fund public schools that everyone I know goes to private schools to avoid. Homeschooling is the only viable option for families who want educated children but who cannot afford private school education.
English
Look, pro-homeschooling people are piling on this guy but he's not wrong at all.
I know of families who are straight-up failing to teach their children beyond a 2nd-grade education. Like 16-year-old kids who don't know what the Capital of the US is, have never heard of Toronto, and could not perform a basic algebra problem.
While it's true that there are many excellent homeschooling families whose instruction far exceeds that of any public school, the fact is that the American system of "school your kids however you want" does also yield a lot of severely stunted kids who get stuck playing "catch-up" for the rest of their lives.
My wife was homeschooled, we might homeschool, I'm not averse to the practice per se, but it's a fact that there's a whole world of multi-generational homeschoolers who are not and will not rise above a 2nd or 3rd grade education level by their own volition.
Should the state intervene in these cases? I dunno, the answer to the question is not as "easy" as many make it out to be. The idea of barely getting through 'Mary Had a Little Lamb' at the age of 16 should be appalling, and it IS happening in some American homeschooler families.
Just Jim@JimsTweets
Do Homeschool kids just like, not have to take tests or exams or get grades? How does the government know if the child is actually getting an education and not just like, being neglected
English
And how much of that is going to prop up an utterly failed City Government that fails to recognize that the rest of the state even exists. There are so many poor rural areas that don’t even have a quality water supply. I actually want New Orleans to have its own congressional district so its poor governance and corruption touches me as little as possible. It’s revolting what 2 centuries of Democrat rule has done to that city.

@queenie4rmnola $77.7 billion comes from the oil industry which is centered around Lafayette.
Go ahead as you where saying.
