Re-writing the backend of a major global product in a red bull and adderall all nighter sounds like a CS301 student’s understanding of software engineering
Jeff Landry is abjectly cruel to poor Louisiana children. He’s cutting the Dept of Education by $900M. He’s refusing federal money to feed kids, and he’s fighting for the ability to execute them. Landry’s policies are designed to turn poor kids into antisocial criminals
What kind of governor attacks his own cities? New Orleans has more culture than anywhere in the world. We are the 4th biggest port in America. We have the most taxpayers in Louisiana. We’re an economic hub for the entire gulf and the only reason anyone visits Louisiana

Take a look at how the Crescent City Connection is set to look once that $20 million lighting project is complete around mid-December. Expect some traffic woes through the Summer. The story at 5 on

My ex wife, Jenny Tobin, died yesterday. She was grocery shopping, collapsed, and couldn’t be resuscitated. She didn’t have any known health problems. I don’t know how this is supposed to be processed. It’s very sad
Breaking News: The Supreme Court, in a surprise decision, ruled that Alabama diluted the power of Black voters in a congressional redistricting case. The map left a single district in which Black voters — 27% of the voting-age population — were a majority.
Jeff Landry is misleading Louisiana about crime in New Orleans to push racist and ineffective policies that waste taxpayer dollars. More guns lead to more gun deaths. No hope of parole builds more hardened criminals. We’re all worse off so that Landry can build rightwing clout
When you’re upset that business won’t invest in Louisiana and our population keeps decreasing: remember that the state has outlawed books, charity, education, and women’s healthcare

Whites in New Orleans still occupy former uptown plantations. The Treme is still cut in half by a highway. Angola is still worked by slave labor and minorities are denied fair representation. Denying diversity, equity, and inclusion is modern Jim Crow

I’ve been robbed at knife point twice. Luckily I was only cut enough to let me know the knife was on my rib. It was unpleasant. I’d be happy if he’d been caught but I also understand an addict robbing a relatively well-off drunk 20-something walking home via a dumb route
Louisiana House of Representatives passed

that gives the police the power to arrest ANYONE who can’t produce identification to the arresting officer and take them in for fingerprinting.

@SenJohnKennedy
I don't see the future of Louisiana. Kennedy conjures ghosts of Thanksgiving past when my racist old uncle lamented his lost youth with drunken stories of a greater America when women did what they were told and the 'wokes' knew their place
Louisiana understands that investing in college athletics builds championship teams. Why is it so hard to get them to understand that investing in college academics builds championship economies?
Louisiana is facing existential threats. Climate change is here. Our coast is disappearing. The likelihood of a big one hitting again is so high, insurance is insane. We sold out our education system after Katrina. We need solutions to real problems not manufactured culture wars
Breaking up a camp doesn’t “combat” homelessness. It’s an attack on the weakest among us that only pushes struggling people into more desperate situations
Jeff Landry is coming for New Orleans. He has a team planning to replace our elected leaders with his MAGA super donors. He’ll deputize every redneck in the state to “fix NOLA” with martial law. Everyone who loves the city needs to get on the same team to defend New Orleans
Jeff Landry cares so much about this Sportsmans paradise that he hired an utterly unqualified 26yr old out of state political hack to run the Dept of Wildlife
Who is Madison Sheahan, Jeff Landry's new pick to head the wildlife agency in Louisiana. Sheahan, 26, has a background in politics, not conservation, from South Dakota

New Orleans is amazing. It’s also the most fucked up city in America. It always has been. It always will be. Transplants aren’t the problem. Attacking folks who fell in love with New Orleans isn’t the fix
The lack of public schools in New Orleans is bad enough. A neighborhood without any schools is outrageous. If you want to fix crime in New Orleans we need strong public schools in every community

protect kids from pedophile priests who raped them?
According to the gospel of John, feeding poor Louisiana children teaches them dependence but using your tax dollars to feed big oil’s profits is as God intended
Hey “John” when you mail my wife a letter comparing food insecure kids to wild animals being fed, put your fucking last name and return address. Disrespectfully, all of Team Toups but mostly me.

points out the obvious: most of the insurance legislation filed this year was drafted alongside the insurance industry with the stated goal of benefiting the insurance industry.
Lower premiums for policyholders wasn’t even an afterthought.
