Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Brown dog standing on a gray living room rug, straining toward an unseen front door. Her pink leash stretches taut behind her, anchored by a tabby cat who is biting, clasping and wrapping herself around it.

Frankie just wants to reach me at the front door. Ida is having a ball.

Half of the people who reacted to this sign laughed and complimented the maker. The other half looked venomous and reaffirmed that the speaker is horrible and repulsive person. No one hates him more than Louisianans. #NoKings, #Nola

Capitalism means even the spooky scary skeletons in New Orleans have jobs.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.
