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

Yes! Definitely later than usual for sure but it wasn’t too bad at last night. Maybe it was the snow that helped keep them down a bit? 🤔

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

Holy Cross!

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.

Jessie Hoffman is put to death with nitrogen gas, Louisiana's first execution in 15 years Louisiana executed a man convicted of murder with nitrogen gas on Tuesday evening, capping a raging legal battle that ended with a gas mask strapped over the man's face in the Angola State Penitentiar...

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

Oliver Thomas, veteran New Orleans councilmember, will run for mayor: 'We need a comeback' Oliver Thomas, a political veteran who rose through one of New Orleans' vaunted Black political groups, held two City Council seats and years later overcame scandal to win a third, is running for mayo...

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

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

Governor Landry aligns with Trump on Gulf renaming Landry's order directs state agencies, boards and officers to make the change to all published materials moving forward.

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

Also, it's only news in the 19th Century, pre-telegraph, news-traveling-by-ship sense... I was tweeting about this over 2 months ago...

Trump calls for impeachment of judge who tried to halt deportations It represents a significant escalation of the president’s attempts to push the boundaries of the separation of powers with the courts.

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...

New Orleans nonprofit grapples with grant loss for tree planting Orleans Parish lost roughly 200,000 trees due to Hurricane Katrina, Burley said. Now, it's SOUL's mission to restore its tree canopy.

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...

You're right - words do matter and that's why I called him a felon. He was convicted on federal corruption charges and also was arrested in 2018 for failing to appear in court.

Maybe for you that's not disqualifying for someone running for mayor, but it is for me along with many others. #NOLA

Last year, I notified S&WB that water was bubbling up through the street in front of my house. It took about 3 mos before they started working on it, then about 2 months to complete the project, during which time they would show up randomly without warning. It got fixed, just very inefficiently.
