The Far-right Louisiana Attorney General who threatened to 'take out' Democratic New Orleans Mayor in a coup
has been indicted on 16 felonies.
In the weeks prior to MAGA’s April 30th coup in Louisiana
(When a 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 was declared to cancel elections
-- all to remove a Black Congressman)
MAGA did something awful that received far less attention…

Jamie Davis for U.S. Senate — Opportunity In Unity. One Louisiana.
Jamie Davis won the Democratic primary with 47% and carried all 64 parishes. The runoff is June 27 — chip in and get involved.

"One proves political maturity by not banging on about injustice, by not troubling too much the rich and powerful. To try it out, simply stand in front of a mirror and slowly declare yourself to be “pro-business and pro-worker”. If you can do that without flinching at the obvious contradiction, then congratulations! You too can be prime minister"
This isn't my analysis of why #Starmer

All the talks in sync at 30 minute intervals. This is too short really. They either have to dive in with jargon I don't get to explain in depth, or barely manage to summarize before the time runs out. No time for Q&A at all which leaves you wondering why not just watch it on youtube?
There's a hall full of stands from corporations of varying evilness giving out useless tat with trademarks on it. People go mad for the loot. Seems to make people quite excited to get a pair of socks or a fidget toy. I leave them to it. Don't like talking to salespeople even if you get free socks with trademarks on them. I don't wear logos in general anyway.
The AI bootsterism is strong, but not omnipresent. Plenty of talks on team management or deployment or progress in non-amazon cloud systems or whatever. Even if they can only be quite surface-detail and lacking depth due to shortness.

Short break before street party now.

I am one of only 4 Black men to ever represent Louisiana in Congress.
If MAGA successfully passes all white districts, I will be the last. 
Following the suspension of our elections, fmr. Reps. Jefferson & Richmond,
along w/ current Rep Carter, and I,
-- the only four black men to ever represent LA,

Want the world to change? That's easy from the couch.
But do you actually enjoy the changing part when it shows up in your own life?
The uncertainty we fight against is the same thing as the possibility we want. They're not separate. They're one thing felt from both sides.
What if the falling apart is the doorway?

The mega-merger is "unlikely to have the effect of substantially lessening competition in relation to the wholesale supply of films for theatrical release in Australia."

“We are a nation of laws.
You can't just make up things whole piece,”
said Senator Bill Cassidy,
following his primary loss.
“People are concerned about making ends meet, not about putting a slush fund together without a legal precedent.”
It’s not clear yet what approach Cassidy will take in his final months in office,
but he’s got plenty of opportunities to make his voice heard,
including on the effort to limit U.S. hostilities against Iran wi…

Bill Cassidy Is Done Holding Back What He Thinks
The Louisiana Republican is already speaking out against the president's “weaponization” fund and money for a White House ballroom.
