New Orleans: This is the Brown Pogrom. Will you wait for the Brown Holocaust to say something? It wasn't me? I didn't know? What will you tell your grandchildren? Your grandparents and great grandparents are watching you, wearing a marksman badge, a postumous Purple Heart or a red cross.

Taking down my earlier post and adding this from Reddit r/ New Orleans.

New Orleans needs to shun the feds, State Police and National Guard,. no food no drinks no bathroom no cigarettes no chewing gum. not a candy bar. Make them drive to Metairie if they need to piss.

Congress or the Deems won't save us. Lawyers & judges won't save us. We have only We Ourselves. Ashley Morris adopted Sinn Fein (We Ourselves) as a response to The Federal Flood in New Orleans. It's time to resurrect that cry of self-reliant solidarity.

Hey New Orleans

This is the Brown Pogrom, the American Kristillnacht. Will you wait for the Brown Holocaust to say something? It wasn't me? I didn't know? What will you tell your grandchildren? Your grandparents and great grandparents are watching you, wearing a marksman badge or a red cross.

Year ago on Canal Street waiting for the street car.

Older Woman: Look they putting up the Christmas decorations already.

walking in the front of city park in New Orleans and just heard a very loud low frequency noise that sounded like something blew up or fell down

Sound level 5:30am off Florida boulevard in West Navarre inn New Orleans NOLA 200 ft from the i-610. LaDOT says they measures and we don't qualify for a sound wall. bullshit. this would be worse if a crotch rocket or custom exhaust had gone screaming past like they do at night.

We need to be ready for them.
“Bovino and his officers are expected to head to Charlotte, North Carolina, then continue to New Orleans, according to two of the officials, who stressed plans are still being finalized. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is expected to continue operations in Chicago.”

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

If you've eaten fast food or shopped at WalMart yes the government is subsidizing *your* food.

The appropriate response to Landry's threat to the New Orleans finance and independent governance is to have S&WB shut off the water to all state buildings.

The reason colonizers are so afraid of immigrants is because they make the mistake of thinking that because all colonizers are immigrants, all immigrants are also colonizers. They think immigrants come with evil in their hearts, because colonizers come with evil in their hearts.

reading elsewhere in the news and it occurs to me if we were reporting on another country we would not be referring to ICE agents, we'd be referring to DHS paramilitaries. because that's what they are

I can't comment directly on this post but I can point out that the "Levee" police are in fact the private security force of everyone who lives north of Allen Toussaint.
The New Orleans what police?
New Orleans’ levee authority is starting a SWAT-style police unit with rifles equipped with sound suppressors. Critics question whether that’s an appropriate use of the agency’s funds.

I believe the professional military, especially the senior officer corps, would never do anything out of bounds to support Trump. Ut's the part-timeers in the Guard operating under title 32 State direction, with authority to act as LEO, in places like New Orleans that frighten the fuck out of me
