#Louisiana parish election results. Thoughts?

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

In #Louisiana we vote to give teacher/support staff raises. An idea “We” the people should have to vote for state senators, representatives, & the governor to get raises too. #idea #ideasforchange #AccountabilityInGovernment

Which states get more federal money than they send Only 13 U.S. states send more money to the federal government than they receive.

On Voting Rights, Eight Legal Battles to Watch in 2025  From the continued threats against the Voting Rights Act to new restrictions on mail ballots and voter registration, courts will have a lot of opportunities to shape democracy this year.

The U.S. Supreme Court announced today that it would hold oral arguments in the case surrounding Louisiana's congressional map on March 24.

At stake, Quinn Yeargain wrote in Bolts last month, is whether the court further weakens the Voting Rights Act. boltsmag.org/voting-...

His seat is on the ballot next year, Louisiana. Let's make sure he has credible opposition, and make sure we talk about racist statements like this one

A must read during #Superbowl boredom. Gov of Louisiana forcibly stowing homeless people in NOLA away in sub par shelters - far from employment, services, and the Superdome ofc.

The political environment in Louisiana is so demoralizing and overwhelming. Topped with a Constitutional Crisis. Please, someone tell me how I can contribute. What can I do in Louisiana to make this world the kind of place the MAJORITY wants to live in?

If the kid trying out can do 30 push-ups, then he, she or they get put on the A-Team and if they can only do 5, he or they get put on the B team.

Why is taking trans youth out of sports the only solution or option that’s on the table? Why not also have coed teams? Why not divide sports teams up by skill, stamina, and strength alone?

Prince’s wife, my great great grandmother, Isabella Ewing was one of the first Black women to vote in the state of Tennessee. She was also born enslaved and was freed after the Civil War. Here is her voter registration card from October 1920. #BlackHistory

The image shows a black and white photograph of a man in a laboratory setting. The man is wearing a light-colored lab coat over a shirt and tie. He is holding a clipboard and looking directly at the camera. The background features various laboratory equipment, including glass tubes and apparatus, suggesting a scientific or research environment. The setting appears to be an older laboratory, given the style of the equipment and the brick wall in the background. The man has a serious expression and is standing in front of the lab equipment.
