The Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Is Detaining People for ICE www.wired.com/story/story/...

Ok y’all I need a Honduran food guide. Not sure why I haven’t been eating this here. Stopped in Los Catrachos on Tulane and ordered blind - I mean besides the flan. They’ve got doors locked but are open.

I had the flan from Norma’s for Thanksgiving and will be picking up another one today. All flan diet!

Yep. I took my chance and did the mail-in option earlier this year and it was fine. Just made sure to do it in advance as I could.

Be sure to tell the federales that the safest place to park during the rain in New Orleans is under any overpass.

We've been Tia Maria's regulars for a while. Standard order: Maduros Con Frijoles Y Crema, Pupusas Revueltas, and a couple orders of Queso Frito which are really good with their chimichurri. Anyway they and many local favs are basically under siege by the terror state. www.nola.com/entertainmen...

Update on the workshops! So, we're calling this a mask-making workshop rather than a paper mache workshop, and we'll be using paper clay during the session rather than torn-up paper and paste. This is an event for beginners to try the basics of mask making, starting with a flat cardboard base.

First early sketch for our Biodiversity Beers project is ready for a SNEAK PEEK. We’ve got 3 Philly artists designing pro-biodiversity messages that we’ll print on pint glasses, which will be hosted at bars around the city with seeds for pickup 👀 Kicking it off with @the666cat.bsky.social

New Orleans.

Inside you’ll also find a zine on how to report ICE along with instructions on how to fold it together. We keep each other safe.

Thank you, Man on a Bike.

Tonight! Join The Lens for a public records workshop. Reporters don't have any special privilege when it comes to public records requests — but we do have time and expertise. Lens reporters are eager to share our tips and tricks for accessing public records. www.eventbrite.com/e/a-public-r...

I use about 3kg of filament a week across two printers running 24/7 - it all just goes out, no sales - whistles use less than 2g of filament, so a 1kg roll of filament becomes about 600 whistles. Consider sending a roll of bright ugly filament (or 4) from my wishlist: www.amazon.com/registries/g...

Starting to see lots of activity reported in the various channels I'm following so I'm re-sharing these guidelines for sharing info and filming immigration enforcement actions

Anti-abortion groups are pushing to ban abortion coverage for anyone who gets tax credits to pay for health insurance through the Affordable Care Act. If Congress caves, this would be the first federal ban on private insurance coverage of abortion, and could push care out of reach for millions.

75% of all healthcare costs this man and his family incur for the rest of his life are paid for by American taxpayers. He won’t ever have to “bargain shop” for medical treatment.

If new proposals detailed in an FDA memo are put into place, experts told me it would mean the end of annual flu shots. And end of most vaccines for pregnant people. And maybe the end of updates to pneumonia vaccines. And more. www.cidrap.umn.edu/childhood-va...

Exclusive: The Department of Veterans Affairs is creating an urgent and massive new internal database of non-US citizens who are “employed or affiliated” with the government department, a sensitive memo leaked to the Guardian has revealed.

Saturday in New Orleans.

Good read on New Orleans now. www.irishtimes.com/world/us/202...

We also spend significantly more money gatekeeping benefits to make sure there are no bad actors than if we just wrote off a few bad actors, who likely need help anyway! It's fare evasion overtime for cops to spent $100m to collect $100k but for everything.

One of my problems with the slogan is that dems refuse to define and build a strong floor What is it? Universal basic income? Universal healthcare? Reliable social benefits? Ensuring due process? No nazis or oligarchs? Because they’re not doing any of these things. The floor is quicksand

It's Giving Tuesday! NOWCS houses in-tact families and help them get on their feet long-term, including offering resources for years after to prevent them falling back into homelessness (98% never fall back!). Plus, they're the only family shelter in the area that includes Dad. nowcs.org/support/

As New Orleans braces for the arrival of ICE, there is a particular stain that comes with hunting Mexicans and Central Americans in that city. These are the same folks who arrived en masse to help rebuild the city after Katrina and have since become a vibrant part of its renewal. Fuck ICE to hell.

These are such fun local songs! Do I need more Christmas music … well …

In the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Starbucks workers kept working as digital orders expanded. I spoke with Starbucks workers back in early 2021 about what they were being put through www.theguardian.com/business/202...

“The National AIDS Memorial, through a partnership with the AIDS Quilt Touch team, presents all 50,000 panels of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in an interactive experience so people around the world can experience the beauty of the Quilt and witness the love and stories stitched into each panel.”

This is important news.

American Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices is meeting later this week to - likely - ignore science and take away the Hepatitis B vaccine given at birth. (btw, parents can already refuse vaccines. So why block it from families who want protection?) 🎁🔗 👇

good evening all.

For World AIDS Day, which is Dec. 1 and which is being ignored by the Trump administration because they dislike the World Health Organization, other countries, science, and queer people, I'm reposting a piece I wrote earlier this year. (They also hate history.) www.vulture.com/article/hiv-...
