My gas bill is now almost $300 per month—Entergy nearly drove me out of New Orleans at my first house & now Delta is going to force me out at this one. I am 1 person in a small house without even a gas stove. WTF with these skyrocketing utilities & how are people supposed to absorb this? #Nolasky

Wishing former Capitol police officer Harry Dunn the best in his run for Congress. If anyone deserves to win, it's him. time.com/7368907/harr...

I hope lawyers, secretaries of state, and state attorneys general are preparing for what’s coming.

The looming return of Jim Crow to America’s second Blackest state Louisiana’s political system could soon look more like 1966, the end of the Jim Crow Era, than 2026, and it’s time to acknowledge the full extent of the greatest threat to the American Experiment in decades.

Floored by this story. A man wrote a pollite email to a federal prosecutor objecting to the deportation of an Afghan seeking asylum. DHS responded with an administrative warrant to get the man's info from Google, then visited his home to intimidate him.

happening this morning in Minneapolis -- ICE agents drawing guns on observers. I reiterate again that it is only a matter of time before DHS kills more innocent people in Minnesota. Congress needs to shut this shit down right now.

Media coverage of Gaza has plummeted. So today on @thenation.com, we're doing something pretty special: we're only running pieces by people in and from Gaza. We're calling it "A Day for Gaza." You can find links to all of the incredible pieces here. Please read! www.thenation.com/article/worl...

I think about this often, the criminalization of Black people NOT doing labor. #thisisamerica

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: The Houston Chronicle article below, titled “Texas A&M ends women and gender studies, modifies hundreds of courses in race, gender ban,” speaks for itself. You can access the article by clicking the link here: eedition.houstonchronicle.com/infinity/art...

journalist georgia fort was arrested by the feds this morning for filming the church protest in st. paul where an ICE agent is the pastor. nekima levy-armstrong and chauntyll allen were already arrested for organizing it she went live on facebook about it, @jasonderusha.com has recording on twitter

These are all Black people. The regime is betting that you wont care Jamael & Trahern the way you care about Alex & Renée

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

less famous than Don Lemon but arrested just the same for being a journalist DOING HER JOB.

I went to the vagina museum for the first time last December. It was great! I tend to think I'm fairly educated on the female anatomy and then I learned I had always called uterine tubes ovaries. This place is great and important and it needs cash to exist. Throw in a penny if you can.

I endorse today’s National Shutdown, but if you’re like me and can’t shut down, I like this list of alternative actions suggested by Bright Black Candle. I also advocate for shopping w/local & small biz. 1/2

Why not reshare a thing of beauty such as this!

Today’s ep. sealed it—I really don’t like Vernon. He’s always going on about how perfect his family is but no matter how many times he says it he’s not selling it. Yes, he loves his family, but it’s tedious & corny & it’s a friggin’ soap opera—they’re not supposed to be perfect & no one’s buying it.

The number of Mississippians that still do not have power today is roughly equal to the population of Jackson, its state capital and largest city. Let that sink in for a moment.

Saturday! Calling all allies of Union Migrante! Mass Meeting! for non-immigrant English speakers! Build the resistance with us! Come get trained and get plugged into campaigns led by impacted community members. First Grace United Methodist Church, 3401 Canal St, New Orleans. Saturday Jan 31. 1pm.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Okay I am LOVING the potential of Kat and Shanice bonding! #beyondthegates

I’m really surprised the writers thought to have Ted include the part about him being impaired when talking to Shanice about the night Leslie raped him but still no one will acknowledge that that means he was assaulted. #beyondthegates

hey #nolasky #nolatwitter, if you're looking for ways to get involved in the fight against ICE and to connect more with your neighbors and community, join us tonight for @indivisiblenola.org's monthly red beans and resistance meeting: www.mobilize.us/indivisiblen...

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

Emergency protest tomorrow, Sunday 3pm at Lafayette Square. #nolasky #nolatwitter #solidaritywithMinneapolis

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him. White. Hot. Rage.

It boils down to this: They want the founding without the violence that made it possible.

If anyone has these in their collection, I’d like them for my archive 🥰

there are a bunch of big names on this list, including multiple beard award winners, and some places i never would have guessed in a hundred years (the malt shop?!) and i'm genuinely floored and delighted to see so many participants bringmethenews.com/minnesota-li...

New— An American citizen boarding flight from Boston to Lisbon just now told me after showing boarding pass, every passenger stopped on jetway by two ICE agents demanding to take their photo. When passenger asked why, ICE threatened to detain them. If they said no photo, couldn't board/TBD detained.

If you are, or know anyone, in the Austin… Lookout for freezing temps

I’m not sure people outside the Twin Cites realize the prevalence and the fear ICE is causing in Twin Cities. They are dining undercover pretending to be couples at restaurants, they are going to businesses and checking the license plates of cars to find employees. Every public place is compromised.

NEW: Wage garnishment for student debt is now paused. A reporter asks Secretary of Education Linda McMahon if she has any concerns about garnishing student loan borrowers' wages. Sec McMahon: "Well actually there is a pause on that at the moment."

It’s been reported locally, but I’m not sure how much national notice this has gotten. As part of this invasion by shithead goons, they are putting ICE agents in jetbridges and other parts of the airport at Minneapolis-Saint Paul. If you are flying Delta via MSP, you are putting yourself at risk.

From Sesame Street

I have it on good authority that Cantrell didn’t leave the actual keys to the office, and Moreno’s people had to hire a locksmith. Not kidding and wondering if it will be reported.

We are looking forward to seeing everyone on Thursday night, January 15, 2026, at 7:00pm at the East Bank Regional Library for "An Affair of Honor," an in-depth look at the history of dueling in New Orleans and some of the more unusual duels. #nolasky #nola #neworleans #History

This slogan adopted by Kristi Noem, "One of Ours, All of Yours," is taken from the Nazis, who retaliated for the killing of an SS officer by murdering all the inhabitants of the Czech village of Lidice, apparently none of whom had anything to do with it, and razing the village to the ground.

This happened here in Chicago, opposite an elementary school. They zip-tied up children in pajamas in the middle of the night as they threw them into the back of a U-Haul during a midnight raid. This is systematic.

Of note: their goal in the New Orleans metro was to arrest 5,000. By their own numbers, they managed 370.

The pistachio ice cream thing is confusing but this is a must-watch. Right outta the Nazi playbook—trans and queer people first...

Good morning. I'd like to invite anyone who is interested to make a small gesture of kindness today. It's up to you to decide what that can be. The key is for you to act on the idea. With so much out of our control, we can choose how to be with each other today and every day.
