Calvin Duncan wins Orleans clerk of court race - Verite News New Orleans Duncan, a political newcomer and former prisoner, defeated incumbent Darren Lombard by a wide margin in Saturday's runoff.

a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:

Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.

So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

"In less than 36 hours since we announced that we will be sending payments to disabled SNAP recipients in the South—$100 to individuals and $250 to households—we have received more than 12,400 applications, totaling $2.7 million in requests." - they have to close the form tomorrow... no way to cover

'Uncharted territory': Ongoing shutdown threatens food aid for 42 million people SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

No one wants to hear your damn dissertation about why you are right but everyone else is ridiculous because they aren't taking your preferred line of action. YOU DO IT and stop writing fucking social media dissertations.

Exclusive: USDA says it won't use emergency funds for food stamps States also won't be reimbursed if they cover SNAP expenses on their own, the memo says.

Food aid has never been cut off during a shut down.

Secretary Rollins is refusing to use USDA emergency funds for SNAP.

She was also the one who said no amnesty for farm workers because all the “able bodied” Medicaid recipients can do their jobs.

They want us sick, hungry, scared & poor.

FYI, Greystar +other corporate landlords are trying to distract from the real story: their recent settlement in a class action lawsuit that alleged they conspired to inflate rental prices using RealPage software.

The 'rental fraud' claims come out like clockwork after every corporate landlord L

White words on a black background read: 50+ Immigration agents have the authority to detain whom they reasonably suspect are in the country illegally. We found more than 50 Americans who were held after agents questioned their citizenship. They were almost all Latino. ~130 Agents also can arrest citizens who allegedly interfered with or assaulted officers. We compiled cases of about 130 Americans, including a dozen elected officials, accused of assaulting or impeding officers. ~20 Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

I did it because the government isn’t.

This is what I found.

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

They do not have enough popular support.

So they are trying to outlaw / silence opposition.

And that’s where we are.

Pushing back has never mattered more.

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

While the EO on "antifa" does not have the force of law, it does provide an opening for local law enforcement -- who have banded together in their dislike of any reform or critique -- to harass, prosecute, and jail people they do not like, namely anyone who tries to hold them accountable.

Jacksonville firm with $78 million ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ contract has obscure origins Information about Critical Response Strategies LLC - including who runs it - has been scrubbed from its website in recent months.

Scam central! jaxtrib.org/2025/07/16/j...

Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isn’t an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesn’t like can be branded a terrorist.

ACLU Demands US Court Release Journalist From ICE Detention ACLU filed habeas petition demanding the immediate release of Mario Guevara from ICE detention in Georgia. He's been in solitary for two months.

In case you didn’t know, journalist Mario Guevara has been in ICE custody since June. The specific reason?

They claim Guevara “presents a danger to the community because he films and records [police] activities and shares his reporting with the public.”

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

Once again: the military takeover of U.S. cities is not a distraction from the thing, it is the the thing

So shines a good deed in a weary world.

Politics may have spurred August purge of 5 veteran FBI agents Details are emerging about the possible motivation behind the firing of five senior FBI agents.

Extraordinary new detail about the FBI purge.
*Senior officials were asked to fire lower level officials tagged by online right wingers as being anti-Trump.
*When they asked for a reason - required by law - they were not given any. They refused. Then they were fired.

They are using this to test the waters & set a precedent before they go after HBCUs

‘Alligator Alcatraz’ Is a Moral Stain Kristi Noem said it will be used to “lock up some of the worst scumbags”—but its inmates haven’t been convicted of violating any laws.

"The existence of and conditions of confinement at the Everglades facility are a national disgrace. It should be closed immediately." No notes.
