So the feds can fund better enforcement in cities. Sending in untrained troops is unfair to troops, and is just a show of fascist power.
Has anyone seen a squad of ICE and ICE vehicles in the neighborhood, at workplaces, or coming and going from ICE facilities?

New Orleans is 1 of a handful of cities that Indivisible has chosen as an anchor city for No Kings 2.0 (red stars) on Oct.18th. That means they are allocating more resources to organizing and spreading the word so that we have an even bigger event than we'd have otherwise had.

Why aren't any #nolasky journalists talking about the fact that there is a person (Earl J. Schmitt Jr) running for Assessor who was convicted of $2.4 million theft? www.nytimes.com/1976/12/19/a...

Sure looks to me like Confederate states’ militias are preparing to invade Union states on behalf of our traitor-loving president…

Over a quarter of all homes sold in the first three months of 2025 were bought by real estate investors.

If we want to make housing affordable again, we must get Wall Street out of our homes. https://youtu.be/q9TOGxDJ0TE?feature=shared

#DYK that a recent Louisiana audit shows so-called Medicaid “fraud” isn’t about families or seniors abusing the system—it’s insurance companies being paid millions even after patients had passed away. #TuesdayTidbit #ProtectMedicaid Read my statement on this: troycarter.house.gov/media/press-...

Sometimes a society forms a new Government entirely. We the people, on our own, can launch state and national polling for policy direction and form of govt. alternatives. Ignore both parties and the electoral college, start forming representative bodies, rebuild from the ground up.
Every months first Sunday? Lakeshore? What time? Thanks
I understand the displacing homes is a problem, but otherwise, the project is needed for shipping, since the current lock impedes the ICWW. The flood walls will be even stronger once built.
If Trump wants to take over DC due to violent crime rates, according to 2024 data, 19 other cities need it more. Will the feds take over Houston, St Louis, Anchorage, and the others too?
Two things are clear about the tragic flooding in Kerr County. 1. Local R leaders applied to FEMA, forced a revision to flood maps so the camp could build in the hazard area. 2. Fed funds allocated for flood mitigation were redirected by local R leaders to spend on policing not a warning system.
Thank you, a powerful allegiance...

Resist! The federal govt. receives over 50%of its income from personal income taxes. What if we all revised our federal withholdings at work, no longer paying throughout the year, but at the end. We all need a way to affect change. Defund the tyrants! #resist #oligarchy #democracy
Brechtel Park in New Orleans has a large wooded area with trails maintained by neighbors. I used the Ramblr app to map it all and posted this on aluminum so that everyone can confidently ventur into the forest.
So the west and NE coasts should resist, maybe form new allegiances and trade agreements, and not share their commerce, tax revenue, workforce, or patents.
