Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

This shit doesn’t happen in France and I’ll tell you why: the rich went too far once and they cut all their heads off and now, when those in power fuck workers over, the French stop working. Don’t forget your real power Americans. They don’t let you have unions for a reason.

One Roberts clerk, one former Gorsuch clerk, and one future Gorsuch clerk. All working for DOGE to help Musk usurp the government. Like I wrote earlier today, the courts are not going to stop this.

When Cassidy decided not to run against Landry for governor he said that he could do more for Louisiana by serving in Washington. Well, today's that moment. Moreso for the whole country. Bill, I hope you do the right thing and sink this nut job's chances.

Second Harvest has been essential in supporting food insecure people in New Orleans and Acadiana. I've been a monthly donator for a long time. Today I canceled that recurring donation, with deep sadness. I don't want a penny to go toward bailing out the Archdiocese for its shameful behavior.

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

Heads up that those who think they’re clever in criticizing Mike Johnson—yes, a truly reprehensible person and leader—by claiming that Louisiana deserves to suffer from its natural disasters are, in fact, no better than reprehensible Mike Johnson.

Then there are the natural obstacles to organizing tenants. Renting isn't an identity element the way working is, and the preexisting relationships between tenants tend not to be as close as those between workers.

Impressive paternalism in New Orleans eviction court yesterday. Lots of landlords demanding judgments even though the tenant already vacated, to "teach them a lesson."

Justice Alito spoke with Trump to ask a favor—hiring a former law clerk—as Trump's request that the Court interfere with his sentencing in Manhattan hit the Court. Alito said he didn't know Trump was headed to SCOTUS, which is really odd, because the whole rest of the legal world knew it was coming.

A teacher friend of mine is worried about the future of education. Kids don’t read books anymore. They can’t write essays without ChatGPT. They gather behind the school to dig a big hole together. The deeper they tunnel the louder a sound from below grows, like a heartbeat
