Don't watch the Saints lose all by yourself this Sunday. Come out to the Broadside and enjoy some great Cajun music and good company with the game on in the background! I'll be on the drums - would love to see you there!

How much election rigging is ideal in a democracy?
Holy shit! This is what courage looks like. The American people are increasingly standing up to Trump's ICE Gestapo to protect their fellow brothers and sisters. ๐๐ช๐๐๐บ๐ธ๐
Last week at #ire25 I told fellow reporters to write off of documents โ and to implore editors to greenlight these stories, even without family narrative, because it opens the door.
We published this story this morning and have already been contacted by a family who experienced the same thing.
Boondoggle.
This entire River District thing is going to be a boondoggle, too. The last thing this city needs right now is more office space.
This is really cool from @sophiasgaler.bsky.social - a new app that helps you quickly translate longform work into snappy video content.
I just tried it out and it was simple and intuitive to use.
Who/Whom
If you can answer the question with "him" then you use โwhom.โ --> they both end in โmโ.
If you can answer the question with โhe,โ use โwho.โ
-Whom are you going to the concert with?
-I'm going with him.
-Who broke the toaster?
-He did.

Political elites regularly over-estimate the conservatism of their constituency: www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court allows Trump to deport migrants to countries they have never lived in, including places where they will likely be tortured.
โI cannot join so gross an abuse of this Courtโs equitable discretion,โ writes Justice Sotomayor in a blistering dissent.

My serious expression belies the joy I experienced playing live music again last night after a break of several months. A lovely wedding reception in Ruston, Louisiana, with a buffet featuring the best loaded mashed potatoes you ever tasted.
What have you done lately that brought you joy?
Donald Trump, a weak and dangerously reckless president, has put the United States on a path to a war in the Middle East that the country does not want, the law does not allow, and our security does not demand.
Nothing could be more perilous to American democracy than going to war under Donald Trump, Robert Kagan writes.
How many people remembered that the Shah was an early investor in Canal Place? Oh also Joe Canizaro died. www.nola.com/news/busines...
I said this as I quote-posted one of these individuals...
Maybe if we could all unfollow and not retweet all the progressive "influencers," the semi-famous folks whose job seems to be posting about politics 127 times a day. I'm trying.

This is so excellent. THE FIFTH CIRCUIT.

Oh, I love that song. It has some good suggestions.
Catching up on reading a lot of "sorry it's taken me forever to reply!" emails while thinking about all of the "sorry it's taken me forever to reply!" emails I need to write.
This is horrifying.
