Yes call Dem elected officials to turn up the heat, but we should be overwhelming the phone lines of every gop member of house & senate, too. And if you voted for the cheetoh & regret it, tell your reps to reign in their fascist man-baby or not a 1 of them will ever be elected again

I feel like if we all stopped spending money for one week it could cause a true revolution. We have what they crave - our money

In New Orleans. Heading into snowmaggedon 2025. The French quarter is expecting 5 to 8 inches of snow starting tomorrow morning. Airports already closed tomorrow. Restaurants and grocery stores empty. Getting some food now and then hunkering down for 24 hrs.

It is weirdly helpful hearing from you and others who confirm that I am not losing my mind to feel this way

N. West Moss @nwestmoss.bsky.social · Jan 18

Slow streetcar due to construction and rain. Still I made it to Mandina's out on Canal #neworleansfood (live oaks and Hancock Whitney bank in photos)
