Tyrants thrive in a public culture characterised by the demonization of those we disagree with or the blaming of those we identify as contributing to our woes. When international rivals see such a situation, it can be tempting to give the process a push and intervene to stoke the Caesarist fire.

And what is anyone doing about it? Nothing. Our city is full of complainers. Not doers. So we will get more of the same.
“… a question we know too well: why do so many critical systems and the leaders responsible for them fail us when we need them most?” 👏 Neutral Ground News nailed it with this piece. Our city leadership *must* be fixed. It’s totally broken. #nolasky neutralgroundnews.com/new-orleans-...
New Orleans Deserves Better. Much Better.
New Orleans deserves better. A heartfelt reflection on systemic failures, the lives lost in the New Year's tragedy, and the urgent need for action to protect our beloved city and its people.

My first principle for the new year: When it comes to issues involving democracy, I do not seek compromise with Republicans. There is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist.

@marcelias.bsky.social I'm an attorney who has litigated criminal cases in state and federal courts for years. I'm willing to join the opposition. What can I do? No one has ever reached out asking for help. I guess I have to put myself out there somehow.

The media as an institution has crumbled. Blame social media, corporate greed, low education levels, whatever. But we can’t make excuses. We need people to take the lead in investigating the Trump administration over the next four years. How will we do this?
