🚨NEW STORY🚨 For Antigravity Magazine, I talked to Louisiana Political Hall of Famer, Bob Mann, about: - if a Zohran Mamdani-like candidate could win in Louisiana; - the failures of the state Democrats; - What's required to turn Louisiana blue, and more. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/we-g...

This is the transcript of an interview about the future of Louisiana politics -- particularly the Louisiana Democratic Party -- that I did with Antigravity Magazine's Danny Cherry. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/we-g...

My colleague Aaron Parsley just won a Pulitzer for this story, written days after he survived the July 4 floods that killed his nephew. It's one of the most gutwrenching and memorable things you'll ever read. Please do.

This is why the vibecession meme is so toxic. Centrists think that Biden did everything right and the voters failed him and must be punished. In reality it was a bunch of half measures that were pointed out to be half measures at the time. They're going to use that failure to not do shit next time.

YALL. We have a Republican supermajority of fascists in Louisiana and we still said NO at an almost 70% of the voting body in the state to this last year. VOTE NO ON THEM ALL AGAIN. noonall.org

Hello World, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We the workers of the Magic: The Gathering Arena team have come together to unionize as United Wizards of the Coast - CWA! 🧵 unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/announcing-united-wizards-coast-cwa

I know Jeff Landry wants us to believe that locking up more and more people will make us safer. But shouldn’t the state with the highest incarceration rate in the country be one of the safest places? And yet, we’re not. Filling our prisons isn’t working. How about we try something else?

Racist republicans just ignored and erased 68% of the vote for Calvin Duncan who was democratically elected.

BREAKING: Louisiana has advanced one of the cruelest anti-homeless bills in the country. It would force homeless people to choose between jail and involuntary treatment, make them pay for it, and if they can't pay, force them to perform unpaid labor. buff.ly/d6rXj5h

Louisiana Catholics have a lot to think about

For this week’s newsletter I revisited this clip and looked at the so called humane immigration legacies of Bill Clinton and Obama. Spoiler alert: they weren’t actually humane www.latimes.com/delos/newsle...

It’s official — we’re on the ballot in Louisiana’s 4th District. I believe government should work for working people — not political insiders. It’s time to hold Mike Johnson accountable and fight for real LA values. Now we get to work. 💪🌾 #Conrad4Congress #FireMikeJohnson #FarmerFromFarmerville

Here it is!!!! The Sandwich Fact!!!! Near guaranteed to make you go "huh I didn't know that" unless you did! buttondown.com/theswordandt...

“Within months, more than 1.4 million Black Louisianans could lose meaningful representation in Congress and at every level of government — not because they stopped voting, but because the U.S. Supreme Court may soon make it legal to erase their power.”

No cajun should support ICE

Kenner’s Latino community begins pushing public officials to address impact immigration enforcement At a community meeting, Jefferson Parish Councilwoman Arita Bohannan discussed fallout from recent immigration operations on residents of Kenner.

“It’s a zone set aside,” he said in a sanded-down country twang, “where they can come in and make money. It doesn’t matter that it’s going to destroy the local people.” www.theringer.com/2026/01/21/f...

'Where's Papi? Where's Papi?'

If he'd been savvy and not a moral coward, Bill Cassidy would be celebrated tonight as the guy who stood up to Trump and saved public health, and sacrificed his Senate seat to do the right thing. But, instead, he'll just be remembered as a cowardly loser with a lot of blood on his hands.

In a conservative state, a report from the New Orleans Health Department chronicles the new law's effects: As the new mother bled, the doctor asked for an update on the medication. “It should have been here by now,” the nurse said. The woman turned to her doctor. “Is this how I’m going to die?”

LSU conducted a 17 yr simulation that showed if Meta withdrew the maximum daily allowed water amount, groundwater levels could drop 65 feet beneath some areas of the facility. These low water levels could lead to land sinking and saltwater seeping into water supplies. www.wbrz.com/news/meta-s-...

Gov. Jeff Landry may wish to acknowledge that this envoy thing is just an honorary, made-up, BS thing. If he tries to pretend it’s a real job with serious responsibilities, 👇

Immigration crackdown leaves teens to care for siblings after parents get detained An immigration crackdown in Louisiana has forced some teenagers to grow up fast after their parents were arrested by federal agents.

Mark Zuckerberg is building a data center in Louisiana that will use 3x more electricity than all of New Orleans. Oligarchs want YOU to pay for these data centers with higher water & electric bills. Americans must fight back against billionaires who put profits over people.

Right now, every dollar you give to Mississippi Free Press is MATCHED. Let’s prove Mississippi stands for fearless journalism. Keep us reporting for Mississippi: buff.ly/mtbNKks

BREAKING: Mississippi Democrats have now flipped two state Senate seats—putting them on the verge of breaking the Mississippi GOP's supermajority. Theresa Gillespie Isom has defeated Republican opponent Charlie Hoots, who she leads in the current vote tally by about 2-1.

Red states stay red because of Dem inaction. Invest in the south, mobilize the electorate, and see what happens.

Good a time as any to remind everyone that @doitjewett.bsky.social is running to replace Steve Scalise and @conrad4congress.bsky.social is running to replace Mike Johnson next year: two huge MAGA targets

help get rid of Mike Johnson by supporting his opponent, an excellent young farmer @conrad4congress.bsky.social

It'd be kinda funny if all the techbros have destroyed their brains with lead from protein powders and microdosing psychadelics and their hard right turn is because only the fear and anger parts of their brains still work like, not funny for the rest of us having to live in the dystopia, but funny

Sounds like JD Vance shouldn't take communion until he's no longer in a state of grave sin

Chicago priest Fr. Larry Dowling describes procession to ICE facility: “No one had the courage to speak directly to us. No one from Homeland Security could stand in the presence of the Monstrance holding the Blessed Sacrament. No wonder. Evil is repelled, recoils in the presence of Christ.”

I would just like to clarify that Mike Johnson is from Shreveport and is most definitely not bayou-bred. Jeff Landry is from the bayou an is also a piece of shit.

Mark Zuckerberg’s company faces backlash after rowing back promises to create between 300 and 500 new jobs to man its subsidiary’s new data center. www.wired.com/story/louisi...

You can "honor" Kirk's memory by doing the thing he'd hate and donating to an organization that wants to help low-income trans adults receive gender affirming care: www.transincomeproject.org/donate (also read my interview with TIPs executive director in the original post)

You would think this would cause people to pause and consider why their movement is littered with racists and fascists.

If people from Louisiana want to donate somewhere closer to home, the Trans Income Project is providing hormones to low income people cut off by medicaid here. bsky.app/profile/deec...

NEW: Last week, oil literally rained down on a Black town in rural Louisiana where 60% of folks live in poverty. The company isn’t taking responsibility & the federal + state governments are saying residents have to clean it up themselves. capitalbnews.org/louisiana-oi...

‘They broke us down’: New Orleans teachers, fired after Katrina, reflect on lives upended More than 7,000 New Orleans public school teachers and support staff lost their jobs under a post-Katrina education overhaul — and became part of a narrative they couldn’t control.

The old river control structure is the most important thing no one thinks about www.nola.com/news/environ...

It's breaking my brain that the trailer for Battlefield 6 seemingly uses Bob Dylan singing Masters of War unironically as a badass pro-war anthem youtu.be/pgNCgJG0vnY

“Donna” Kashanian lived in the United States for 47 years, married a U.S. citizen and raised their daughter. She was gardening in the yard of her New Orleans home when U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers handcuffed and took her away. apnews.com/article/iran...

In Hurricane Katrina, mainstream media were more worried people might take stuff rom WalMart than that grandmothers were dying on rooftops of buildings surrounded by contaminated floodwater.

Uh, Republicans control the house and senate, do you expect Democrats can just wave a magic wand and not praise ICE and advise people to help them

Like how incompetent do you have to be to make Newsom look good.
