‘I’m Done, I’m Not in That F*cking Political Party’: James Carville Freaks Out After Progressives Win Big in Democratic Primaries

Well that was a helluva wake up this morning. And I was hoping I could sleep in since I had a late night. Oh well, guess I’m just gonna be a zombie today cuz too much adrenaline to go back to sleep. #earlymorningtornadowarning

I hear those winds whipping out there. It’s on top of us right now. I haven’t lost power though so that’s good.

congrats to all the knicks fans! i honestly don’t really follow basketball much but i’ve been following this final series and watched the last 5 minutes of this game and i’m really happy for them. #knicksinfive

hey y'all, El Pueblo Nola is popping up at Skeeta Hawk Brewery on Thursday night this week during Trivia Night! if you've been wanting to grab some guillotine earrings/necklace or one of our sidewalk tile RESIST shirts (or buttons or stickers) for a donation, come find us tomorrow night! (1/3)

i am totally annoyed that i somehow let a fly in when i came home just now, but also realizing it is THE BEST cat toy ever! my cats are really needy and do bad things when i sit at the computer for long periods of time ignoring them - maybe i need to let a fly in every day to keep them occupied! lol

accepted a donation of two big bags of dog food yesterday for el pueblo (elpueblonola.org) and was delighted to discover the donor was collecting nominating petition signatures for @doitjewett.bsky.social so i was finally able to sign! serendipity!

so i'm going to this and bringing friends so that the radical dykes of the 90s/2000's are represented. not as a speaker, cuz they didn't ask, but just to be there. we seem to always be left out of these things. i think the young queers should know all of their herstory. #lesbianavengers #dykemarch

i am so not ready for hurricane season this year. many rough financial months in the first quarter made me spend all my hurricane emergency money to just survive, and though business has picked up, i'm still digging my way out of a financial hole. i pray it's a quiet season.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

somewhere to sign the recall petition(s) tonight from 4-7pm. Gasa Gasa on Freret.

so, um, everybody in #nola #neworleans has voted right? you still got plenty of time to get there if you haven't. polls close at 8. just do it. those fucking fascists are working extra hard to take your #vote away - don't let them!

Louisiana voters: Next Election is THIS SATURDAY May 16th. Your vote matters: they wouldn’t work so hard to dilute and suppress your vote if it didn’t matter. Look at what’s on the ballot! Call 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683) if you have problems voting at the polls on Election Day. #GeauxVote

NEW: U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson's "reign of terror" in Mississippi "is over," Gov. Tate Reeves says, urging the ousting of the state's only Black member of Congress through redistricting before the end of 2027. He made that pronouncement even as he canceled a special session on redistricting.

ok, so I think a lot more of the U.S. needs to be paying attention to what is happening in Louisiana. where apparently today the (R) state AG threatened to remove the (D) Mayor and the majority of the city council. www.nola.com/news/politic...

Attorney General threatens 8 New Orleans leaders with removal from office in court clerk battle

The AG warned Mayor Helena Moreno, District Attorney Jason Williams and five City Council members they were at risk of violating state "usurper" statutes.
