6 lives…so far. History lover (esp. American), science lover, attorney, mother, local activist, former actor-producer. So much to learn; so little time. New Orleans—a curse and a blessing.

When will the press stop identifying these thugs as “federal agents”? Who are they—ICE? Border Patrol? Their insignia specifies only “police” and “SNA.”

Pay attention.
Meta is building 2 AI centers each the size of Manhattan (yes, Manhattan)—one near Albany, NY, and one in NW Louisiana.
Watch: the power utilities are building huge new electric power plants for those respective grids.
Who do you think is going to pay those costs?

The impact of the “MAGA Murder” Bill (now, Act) will be devastating and, yes, murderous in New Orleans, and across Louisiana.*
Our Rep. Senators voted for it nonetheless.

This is exactly what Netanyahu has said about Israel’s operations in Gaza…again and again…for over a year. “Very close to achieving our objectives”
And we still have only Netanhayu’s word that “Iran is on the brink of having a nuclear weapon”. For 20+ years.
