Lauren Jewett is running for US House, LA-1. Louisianians deserve a representative who works for US. Who respects our dignity & knows that workers are the backbone of our state & country. Retire Scalise. Elect Lauren Jewett. Donate: secure.actblue.com/donate/laure... #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

I want to be more specific here because this hasn’t been a central issue in this election cycle and I find it alarming. Oliver Thomas, who is running for Mayor, is pushing this and if the key question of this moment is what your city will do when Trump’s goons come knocking, here’s Thomas’s answer.

On this ADA anniversary weekend, you should absolutely watch Crip Camp. It's a beautiful documentary from empowering kid summer camp to powerful activism at the Capitol.

Project Nola was spying on New Orleans when violent crime spiked in 2022, and Project Nola was watching during the NYE terrorist attack. Project Nola doesn’t prevent crime

So Mirriam Webster has announced that 'FRIDGE' is an official word in their dictionary now, and sited me as the concept's creator in the definition. Very cool, and weird at the same time. I got death threats over this, cool for it it to be recognized. www.merriam-webster.com/slang/fridge

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Lord, don’t have me spending my last weekend with JD Vance.

Happiest birthday to this smokeshow! @tuttlebean.bsky.social 😍🎈

“We realize how hard positive change can be to implement in a State that is conditioned for failure,” is a hell of a thing to say about the people of the state you’re supposed to serve as Governor, but I can understand why these kinds of numbers might make anyone nervous

This is how I’m entering Aries season ♈️

A growing group of content creators are trying to counteract misleading and false wellness claims online from influencers hawking supplements and unproven remedies.

In a sentence never before uttered by humans, I am delighted to share that an alligator stole my conservation instructor’s hat by jauntily walking into the water while wearing it 🐊

Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department. www.politico.com/live-updates...

Republicans ran into the room to SHEILD Elon Musk from having to come and speak to Congress. They want their billionaire takeover done behind closed doors. The people deserve transparency. No one elected Elon Musk.

Women deserve to know the TRUTH about the impact of Texas' total abortion ban. Today, I along with Rep. Gerry Connolly, Rep. Summer Lee, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley sent ANOTHER letter calling on Texas to explain why it won't release maternal mortality data from the past 2 years after Dobbs.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you keep everything a secret, don't allow any opportunity for public input, circumvent local zoning and taxing authority, ignore environmental experts, and create massive new corporate tax breaks behind closed doors www.nola.com/news/busines...

Favorite ring notification I received post snowstorm

Good chance my very light Amazon package blew away in yesterday’s wind

Deb Haaland, the country's first indigenous cabinet secretary, used her term at the Interior Department to make what activists say is irreversible impact in recognizing the painful history of the government's treatment Native Americans.

“An attitude that ‘the show must go on’ isn’t surprising. Still, it left some New Orleanians expressing a long-standing sorrow that what’s good for the people who visit this city is always prioritized over what’s good for the people who call it home.” www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

If you were like me yesterday, you were watching news nonstop for reports about the Bourbon Street attack. But I realized I needed a mental health break. And I put on this Spotify playlist I created. I share it with you in hopes it can help set your mind at ease:

Politicians whenever something bad happens in New Orleans

A shy rescue dog named Scrim has been on the run after jumping from a second floor window. It was his second escape and the jump was caught on surveillance camera. People have been posting sightings of the dog running around various neighborhoods of New Orleans ever since.

I love making this list, I love sharing this list, and I’m very grateful to have the editing and production support at NPR to make this list possible. www.npr.org/2024/12/26/n...

I really have a hard time looking at these newsletters with no mention of the school that is literally CLOSING TODAY.

Shawn Anglim is pastor of First Grace United Methodist Church in New Orleans. He's one of my heroes. We should all seek to be more like Shawn and his amazing congregation. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Employees of French immersion charter school Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans claim that school administrators have waged an aggressive, and illegal, intimidation campaign to squash a nascent unionization drive. Read More: https://buff.ly/4iA8lXS

Long ago, I saw someone on a political round table on TV say, “Justice is not supposed to be vengeance. It’s an intervention to prevent vengeance,” and I think about it *a lot*.

Took a series of shots about 10 minutes apart over the course of 40 minutes showing Io transiting and casting a shadow on Jupiter tonight. 🔭

Mary Tyler Moore accidentally nailed a perfect trick shot in *The Dick Van Dyke Show* (1962)—on the FIRST take. It was supposed to be done by a pro, but she shocked everyone and pulled it off herself. Absolute legend. 🎱✨ #ClassicTV #FunFacts

Grab your blanket, your cocoa, your snuggler of choice – holiday movie season has arrived. Here's a rundown of the standard and not-so-standard offerings you'll find on TV this year.

Ok here’s a thread of feeds that aren’t topic themed but utilitarian and do things like show you different versions of your timeline or provide services that should be official Bluesky features. 🧵

Now both Texas and Georgia, the states where Propublica reported five women have died from abortion bans, are essentially shutting down the vehicle through which we can learn how many more women died.

Like clockwork, here come the “actually, Wicked is not good and here’s why” takes. Saw it last night. 10/10

My election night stress bake (Spoiler: the cake layers were so over-mixed it was barely edible)

Last night, @louismonnig.bsky.social surprised me with a meet and greet 🤩 Jinkx Monsoon and BenDeLa Creme
