Since it's the 12th of December, I have to share the "12 Yats of Christmas." Yats are folks in New Orleans, especially in neighborhoods with a strong New Orleans accent. It comes from the stock NOLA greeting, "Where yat?" #MusicSky #holidays #Christmas #NOLA

Attorney General Concedes Act 399 Cannot Be Used to Target Speech This morning at 7 am, the AG’s Office filed a response to our client ISLA’s Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order.

Today, we sued Attorney General Liz Murrill for violating our client’s first amendment rights by broadly wielding Act 399 to silence anyone who stands against the government’s cruel and inhumane immigration crackdown. #ice #neworleans #louisiana

With the AG’s concession in hand, we’ve secured assurance that Act 399 will not target speech or protected first amendment actions. For that reason, we’re happy to announce that we are dismissing our lawsuit without prejudice.
