We struck to win back — among other things — our health care. You just voted to take health care away from thousands of people, many of whom you know will die as a result. You have much more in common w/ the Blocks than us. Keep our name far, far away from your murderous mouth.

@cmclymer Curious who you are talking about. I would agree that criticizing these politicians from the left is foolhardy and self-defeating

Let this moment be a wakeup call to stop taking some of the far-left seriously. Mamdani isn't good enough for them. Nor is Rep. AOC. Nor is Sen. Sanders. No one is good enough for them. Because their driving motivation isn't progress; it's preserving space for their performative, narcissistic self-righteousness. Here you have a dream candidate who is about to have the biggest constituency any democratic socialist has served in the history of this country, and he did it by bringing people into the fold with exceptional comms and organizing. He went into tough spaces and had hard conversations with people who disagree with him and/or just don't like him and he refused to get off-message that working class people deserve more from their government and he did it with a joyful, optimistic attitude. And because of all that, he's on track to win in a landslide. Some on the far-left look at all that and still have the audacity to claim he's a sell-out. These people are unserious. They have no idea what they're doing. They have no idea how to talk to people who don't agree with them. They believe politics boils down to "winning" an online debate when it's actually about how you make people feel. They would rather demand purity because it absolves them of the hard work necessary to build a winning coalition. It's why they're ineffective and always spinning their wheels. It would be kinda funny if it weren't so tragic. Just ignore them. They're silly individuals.

I'm still waiting for @JeffLandry, @TimTtemple, and @BlakeMiguezLA to give me the name of one, just one, large automobile insurance company in Louisiana that agrees to reduce their rates if any of your laws pass. Remember, NO state in America has ever been able to reduce insurance rates by passing tort reform laws. Good luck!!!

Carnival is about misrule and the reversal of power structures. A parade of military and cops is completely antithetical to the spirit of the season. Cops kill culture.

Get the fuck out of my city and leave my neighbors alone

Don’t worry, Entergy has learned from their past mistakes and has it all together this time folks!

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

@martajewson In front of Thurgood Marshall- lights on a full hour after the posted times

Get your reading glasses out kids! New school zone speed enforcement times are going up across the city. This zone near Wheatley on Orleans between Miro and Rocheblave is now enforced between 7:30-9:30 a.m. and 3:15-5:15 p.m. It’s 4:45. No lights.

Whether it’s Republicans storming the Capitol on January 6 or a Republican trying to shoot Donald Trump on July 13, both sides have a violence problem.

@GailSimone Made me think of this line from 30 rock. Lois Lane as a Claremont Dame 😍

It was like hearing a great story around a campfire, instead of in the country's most crowded, noisy convention. It was a Lois-focused story, but it had all the earmarks of his classic X-Men stuff. My understanding is that DC did not pick it up for whatever reason. 3/

One time, at New York Comic Con, I was busy the entire weekend, long lines and lots of meetings. And Chris Claremont, whom I'd really only met once, stopped by to say hello, which was very gracious and of course, a bit of a thrill for me. Then... 1/

My favorite Disney character is Moana’s gramma.

Never a dull moment in New Orleans

This is disgusting. This is a full admission of wanting to keep people imprisoned for slave labor.

Today: Educators at Lycée Français De La Nouvelle-Orléans Demand Recognition of their Union! We are excited to have another school join the UTNO family and fight for collective bargaining to improve their school for themselves, their colleagues, and their students.

UPDATE: The CDC just updated its COVID wastewater data. COVID wastewater levels continue to rise, exceeding levels at the same time last year. COVID wastewater levels in the U.S. are at their highest since Omicron in 2021-22.

According to the latest CDC COVID-19 wastewater data, we are currently in the second-biggest surge of the pandemic. It will peak in the next week, with ~2 million infections per day. During this surge, ~100 million people total (~1 in 3 people in the US) will likely get COVID.

you were so loved this year. through the grandiose acts you can see & the hidden prayers you didn’t get to hear. you were so thoroughly missed, and so deeply treasured this year. and you will be, too, next year. and the next. and the next. i hope you feel every second of it.
