I don’t know who needs to hear this but the CDC is being eviscerated right now. America is not going to have any kind of outbreak response capacity after tonight. Americans’ health data is no longer secure. Say goodbye to federal public health in any capacity. It’s a disaster. We won’t recover.

Reminder: If Esperanza School on S. Carrollton was your polling place — you now vote at Thurgood Marshall School on Canal. (The Esperanza/Crossman campus closed in June)

New Orleanians, RTA is free tomorrow

But of course.

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat. For the crime of … complaining about government policy. Core 1A speech. With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

There are some very strange things going on at the Library of Congress. I’m doing searches for news articles from the Civil Rights Era. Political cartoons. That sort of thing. They used to be easily found. That stuff is VERY hard to find now. Things are missing, people.

I even let my picture be taken, willingly! Those who know me know what a commitment to this project is represented here! Sign up for the book release conversation, me and my pal and colleague Barrye Brown from the Schomburg! Oct 20 7pm EST luma.com/cyxih6zu

They still haven’t found all the missing children from the floods. Why are they more worried about Illinois than about the children in Texas?

Exactly!! New Orleans hospitality workers (well really management and owners) take note for when it's our time! Don't give aid and comfort!

A Texas megachurch pastor and GOP leader has been arrested for crimes against children. Not Robert Morris, a different one. Not Josiah Anthony, a different one. Not Luke Cunningham, a different one. Not Tony Evans, a different one. Not Scott Crenshaw, a different one. Not Steve Lawson, a different o

We can still see it.

The news cannot show what is happening in Chicago because the FAA banned all non-government drones for 12 days over a 15-mile radius (100s of square miles). They don't want anyone watching them disappearing our neighbors. They don't want anyone reporting what they're doing. Please, don't look away.

How bad are tariffs going? I paid for $32 of shaving cream from Canada. Unique stuff I’ve used for years, nothing like it in US. Small family business. UPS guy came to my door today with box and said I have to pay additional $120 before he can hand it to me. That makes it 5x more expensive!!! 🤯

Good morning, today is the last day to early vote. Next Saturday is Election Day are your normal polling locations

Please be safe in the Chicago area. Ice is detaining black women

🚨 “They put black people in one van and immigrants an another… Trucks and military style vans were used to separate children from their parents.” THIS. IS. HAPPENING. People need to see this. We all need to see it. Nobody gets a pass here. Please share with your networks. 1/2

A month after graduation in 2019, dozens of Kennedy High seniors learned they had not, in fact, earned a diploma. Adults had failed to track their credits. The kids lost scholarships, motivation and more. Now in their early 20s, they are still waiting for justice. thelensnola.org/2025/10/02/k...

I say this with every fiber of my being FUCK THAT DUSTY HEADED BITCH

I called Speaker Mike Johnson's office saying he needs to immediately swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.). The aide hung up on me! WOW!

Tomas is coming off as completely dimwitted trying to defend himself. Both of these women deserve so much better. Get him off this show. #beyondthegates

Another violent attack by an ICE officer on a civilian at 26 Federal Plaza—this time on a journalist, who had to be carried out on stretcher. Another attack on the First Amendment, our neighbors, and our democracy.

New Orleans has had the fewest murders this year since 1970. Carjackings are down 80% relative to 2022, vehicle burglaries are down 70%, shootings are down 63%. This is a wholly unnecessary stunt that will hurt local businesses.

Border patrol is out Uptown. A marked vehicle just passed Constance and Nashville.

On view at Tulane University, and it was a joy to work on this. But you don’t have to visit campus to see it. Check out the digitized collection of Black New Orleans nightlife posters, 1979-1980, newly published online via the Tulane University Digital Library: libguides.tulane.edu/BlackNightli...

So exhausting..

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

A man was just chased and arrested outside of the Broadview ICE facility in Chicago. When legal observers from the National Lawyers Guild asked why, an agent threatened to arrest them too.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

Law Roach is still the best thing to happen to #ProjectRunway in a long time.

NONE of the finalists had the ability to make a cohesive collection. #projectrunway really has to dial down the clownery & focus on the designing—cooking competitions do it. PR has long misread its core audience but ATP there have been enough seasons & rival shows that they should be past this.

This is amazing. We must create our own archives, now more than ever.

Or is he just trying to set up an autist registry for his eugenics project? Vile, dangerous man. If you're autistic, DO NOT give this man your name. For any reason.

Hope nobody has to call #911 today.

Reminder to anyone interested that tonight Thursday at the Alligator Festival in Luling is FREE admission and there are even more crazy good alligator food offerings than in years past. Don’t sleep on the sauce piquante; we always bring a big plastic container to bring some home.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

NEW: The trees in Roseland are turning brown. A month after an oil plant explosion coated this small Black town in toxic soot, experts say the forests are sick. If the land is poisoned — what about the people who call it home? capitalbnews.org/roseland-oil...

Let's rephrase: people held against their will in US concentration camps have been disappeared: www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Where are these men? As of the end of August, two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July can't be found. They were removed from federal tracking. The gulag shut down and the men vanished. Why isn't Congress demanding answers?
