I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg... Her confounding behavior in regards to the Wisner Trust and FQ sanitation contract raises a lot of questions as well. www.nola.com/news/politic... #NOLA

Me after hearing the news that Latoya Cantrell has been indicted by a federal grand jury... #NOLA #ChristmasInAugust

If we’ve learned anything from The Great Escape and events like this, it’s that NOLA Ready texts ain’t worth sh*t if the system can’t share pictures or at least share **LINKS** to pictures. There are a lot of pre-teen Hispanic boys in the world… A picture would help. 🤯 #NOLA

Finally getting a termite swarm in Holy Cross… Been wondering when they would rear their ugly heads. #NOLA

Heavily-armed SWAT roll from LASP just drove over the St Claude bridge into Lower 9. Another escapee about to get caught? 🤔 #NOLA

On the 50th anniversary of the Fall of #Saigon and the end of the wars in Indochina, read this account by James Fenton of his experience riding on North Vietnamese tanks as they rolled through the city on April 30th 1975: share.evernote.com/note/ba53838...

This is the 6200 blk of Douglas Street in Holy Cross - I’ve never seen it flooded like this before. #NOLA

I haven’t seen water like this in a long time. Storm water is up to my front steps, which almost never happens… #NOLA

Lower Nine is completely without power on a literally perfect day with no weather, low winds, low AC use… #NOLA

Good news for Jacksonians looking for move past Lumumba and his shadiness... #politics

#Louisiana just called @JeffLandry's bullsh*t. #LaLege #LaGov #politics

The state’s teachers unions are not progressive. They will sell out their purported allies at the drop of a hat… The fact that they’re throwing their PAC money behind this is shameful. #NOLAed #LaEd #LaLege #LaGov

Good morning from the best neighborhood in town… #NOLA

NEW: The Supreme Court *will not* take up casino mogul Steve Wynn's bid to overturn the landmark free press ruling in New York Times v. Sullivan. The case, Wynn v. Associated Press, No. 24-829, was denied with no noted dissents or statements. #SCOTUS

Bald Eagle spotted in Holy Cross this morning… 🦅 #NOLA

This point doesn't get emphasized enough. Just a few years ago Roosevelt Blvd was a top-5 deadliest road in the country. Now it isn't even the deadliest in Philly

One of the great gags of the moment is the DHS spox using the Berkeley Free Speech movement as the banner on her account, where she posts about deporting academics.

Reading of how it went reminds me of the execution of Eduard Delacroix from The Green Mile. It was botched, there was suffering, but was called a success because he died

The cruelty is the point, Louisiana style. The shame.

The State of Louisiana executed a man tonight by suffocating him for 19 minutes just so @JeffLandry could burnish his tough-on-crime credentials, which is pretty f*cking dark. www.nola.com/news/courts/... #LaLege #LaGov

over my dead body. He would be *awful*.

I am now told THERE WILL BE SANDWICHES at this. C'mon.

It's pretty depressing when you realize you live in a state with a governor whose two main policy priorities are renaming the #GulfofMexico & restarting executions. As if #Louisiana has no other pressing issues to address... #NOLA #LaLege #LaGov www.wwltv.com/article/news...

Now is the time to start speaking out because we are rapidly approaching a constitutional crisis. Trying to impeach a federal judge or deciding to defy a court order would put us in very dangerous territory. #politics www.politico.com/news/2025/03...

I've seen first hand the great work that SOUL has been doing to reforest our neighborhoods. They have planted scores of trees throughout Holy Cross (I have one in my backyard as we speak). No question they've been exemplary stewards of their federal funding. #NOLA www.wwltv.com/article/news...

If you wouldn't vote for a felon before, why would you vote for a felon now? #NOLA

Shoutout to never—EVER—getting a voice-activated speaker from Amazon, Apple, et al.

I kept bees until last summer when we went to Oregon for 2 months & our colony flew off after the hive openings got covered by overgrowth & vines. 10 mins ago a huge swarm of bees flew into my backyard & is in the process of occupying the empty hive. Crazy to watch. #NOLA

Not sure why so many people seem surprised that LFT & LAE are engaging in blatantly self-serving behavior while claiming to work for the greater good. If you're surprised, you haven't been paying attention. #NOLAed #LaEd #LaLege #LaGov #NOLA www.nola.com/news/educati...

Water pressure seems low in Holy Cross… How long before that boil water advisory? #NOLA

Stupid: hurting others while hurting yourself.

Nearly a third of U.S. Department of Education staff laid off https://www.chalkbeat.org/2025/03/11/education-department-lays-off-nearly-one-third-of-its-staff/

I remember when The Lens provided legitimate, much-needed news for our city. Now it’s an agenda-driven publication taking sides on issues instead of presenting readers with the facts. When you’re posting things like this on Nextdoor it’s not journalism; it’s activism. #NOLA #media

It is early in the year and not inherently indicative of how the year will go, but we are seeing massive declines in pretty much all types of crime in America's biggest cities.

And it's negative for the first time

No, AI can't fix our pothole problem because it's human capital - the feckless people running and working for the city - that is the problem. Let's be real: unless AI can physically go out and fill potholes with asphalt, it's ain't fixing sh*t. www.nola.com/news/matt-wi... #NOLA

Foggy AF on the levee this morning… #NOLA

I’m actually pretty sad about this one… Gene Hackman was one of my favorites. He was one-of-a-kind… www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/o...

This @the74.bsky.social story about the ways in which chronic absenteeism hurts *all* students is your must-read of the week. www.the74million.org/article/high...

These people don't represent the views of most residents in Holy Cross, no matter how loudly they scream. #NOLA

[email protected]: Don't ally yourself with the NIMBY Stop The Grain Train group. They are spreading lies about the Alabo Street grain terminal and fundraising off those lies. Do not give their misinformation campaign oxygen. Really disappointing. www.nola.com/news/new-orl... #NOLA

NYC Mayor Eric Adams debuts his new look.

Our state can't help but embarrass itself time and time again... JFC. 🤯 wwno.org/public-healt... #NOLA #LaGov #LaLege #clownshow

Best throw from Krewe du Vieux last night… 😂🤣😂 #NOLA #NOLAed #LaEd

These folks are wasting everyone’s time and donors’ money filing lawsuits trying to catch Port NOLA on a legal technicality that will have no impact on the Alabo Wharf project… and still lose. They don’t have a legal leg to stand on in this fight. www.nola.com/news/port-of... #NOLA

Cindy Van Dam was a fellow 2002 Teach For America corps member here in #NOLA. Unlike most of us who were recent college grads, Cindy joined TFA mid-career. She was caring, passionate about social justice & dedicated to her students. She deserved better. www.nola.com/news/crime_p...

Hey @wdsu6.bsky.social: Stop carrying water for what is obviously a political attack masquerading as an organization called "United Front" (no such org exists) backed by sketchy & incompetent politicos like Tyrell Morris & Susan Hutson. Try doing actual journalism. #NOLA

This is how you do a resignation letter.
