#WATCH You may have seen a recent news story about a potential AI data center opening in the East. There's a lot of technology on the horizon here in New Orleans, and we must ensure that new tech doesn't negatively impact our streets, our residents, and our city.

Today, the world honors Martin Luther King Jr,,, and every day Public Enemy honors him.

We was touring with U2 and they respected our desire to boycott playing in Arizona since they wouldnt recognize MLK Day. We just walked off stage.

#WATCH The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is under threat, and it’s up to us to protect that legacy.

Dr. King planted seeds knowing he might never live to see the fruit, and today we are standing in the shade of a tree built by sacrifice, courage, and persistence.

His legacy didn’t grow overnight, and it isn’t guaranteed to survive without care.

What a week, huh?

We have a new mayor, three new councilmembers, and new department heads. Let's talk about this new term and next steps as we transition into the Moreno Administration.

Have a good weekend, New Orleans!

For those who don’t know: in New Orleans high school marching bands practice after school on neighborhood streets and it’s a delight.

These students work so hard and are so talented. What a blessing on our community

As the first day of 2026 comes to an end, I want to pause and remember the 14 lives that were tragically lost just one year ago. My prayers are with the victims' families and the City of New Orleans as we continue to heal. 🕊️

We are officially in the #EndGame of the Cantrell Admin and the current mayor is hellbent on her scorched-earth exit strategy.

From vetoing budgets to pulling banners—and even attempting to deficit spending on JIRR, putting city employee payroll at risk... (cont'd)

My father passed July 1987, right when this hit cable. I played this scene many, many times. What more can he said about this amazing, almighty, beautiful scene that hasn’t been said? Rob Reiner is one of the Greats. youtu.be/kBC5Z_bH74U?...

COME AT ME BRO🕹️

This Saturday, I'm hosting a Marvel vs Capcom Tournament with @nordcommission and @nola.grown at the Milne Rec Center, and I challenge YOU to beat me. If you somehow manage to beat me at my own game, you get a chance to win a PS5.
