It's a New New Orleans

😆

reading elsewhere in the news and it occurs to me if we were reporting on another country we would not be referring to ICE agents, we'd be referring to DHS paramilitaries. because that's what they are

New Orleans is culturally distinct from the greater Gulf Coast.

Ballast

Wasn't that a mighty storm?

It's MAGA that's severed themselves from political community, to set themselves above in judgement. Judge not lest you be judged,

What's on fire is my first question.

Entergy's investor's bank accounts.

I can't comment directly on this post but I can point out that the "Levee" police are in fact the private security force of everyone who lives north of Allen Toussaint.

another Boston massacre. all they wanted was a free education and the respect their father's had for serving. they remembered pictures of the Guard rescuing frightened people from a flood. like most people they did not follow the news except for scores, but saw the terrorizing crime stories out of the city which predators always put for clicks. they were frighten themselves by The angry crowd pressing forward trying to push them back when the order came to open fire

I believe the professional military, especially the senior officer corps, would never do anything out of bounds to support Trump. Ut's the part-timeers in the Guard operating under title 32 State direction, with authority to act as LEO, in places like New Orleans that frighten the fuck out of me

I'm not sure what the crisis will be but it will take some crisis for people to awaken to this fact. It's the anniversary of the Tlatelolco massacre in Mexico City in 1968. Let's hope it doesn't come go that.

AI and it's monstrous data centers recapitulate the history of the Americas. We are entering the mound/pyramid building stage right before the environmental collapse.

oh wait we need to know where now.

some parts of New Orleans are not below sea level. most parts of New Orleans are one to three or four feet below sea level. if you look at maps with ranges it's going to include the bottom of drainage canals. this is like discussing the elevation of New York including the subway system.

there is one map that shows a range of 1 to 4 M below sea level in the lakeside parts of New Orleans and in the east. but the 4 M would be at the bottom of a drainage canal. most places are one to three feet below sea level

Are the run logs still a public record under FCC rules? We need a list of local advertiisers of WGNO.

the only place New Orleans is 20 ft below sea level is at the bottom of a drainage canal. which you know is supposed to be deep

word is our next star on station May refuse to carry it. I don't normally watch but I'm going to check tonight

H1B is legalized slavery

a poem by Mark foles titled they themselves have no papers. they do not come in the night like the frights of childhood in broad daylight in masks in unmarked trucks and SUVs without insignia without badges without the necessary legal papers they themselves have no papers to sees people off the street for being Brown while employed for speaking Spanish in public it's as if they launched a program against the European honey bee for daring to exist in their America careless of how fruit and vegetables come to be in the groceries they would scrub the brown stain from their America scrub until what's left is scraped raw leaving bloody red stripes of racist fury across their White America

I think you have me confused with the mark folse who's a military historian.

right after the RICO prosecution collapsed in Atlanta

If people think the reaction to Charlie Kirk was ugly, and it wasn't really, wait till it's Trump. 🎉🍾🥂

we've kept the streetcars running for over 100 years, machining all new metal and wood parts

Go to every look people up site, look yourself up, and send them an email demanding you be removed from their published data. I know anybody who has my home address for example is colluding with someone who's abusing a government database.

there has been nothing reported except that he is to the far right of Kirk. so why are you spreading this nonsense? are you getting paid for it? by whom?

I wish for Charlie Kirk and all of his red-pilled followers what he wished for people of color, the queer community, immigrants and Palestine. That is true empathy: empathy for the oppressed. Sociopaths incapable of empathy or sympathy deserve none.
