Of the 38 people arrested by ICE here in New Orleans, only 9 had "criminal histories". This is pure, blatantly evil racism and I can't believe conservatives don't see that. #Nazis

Look, I'm just gonna tell cishet white people right now--Newsom ain't the one. You got Walz and Pritzker out here. You do not need a Bill Clinton clone wearing Mitt Romney's skin.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said on Thursday that the Democratic Party needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.”

If y’all know anyone who doesn’t feel safe leaving home due to the 🧊 crap, Ideal markets are offering free delivery. Share with your networks.

And if you are out shopping consider doing some of it at these markets.

Cc: NOLA restaurant owners and managers

I know of a few restaurants that have taken steps by: informing all staff of the policy and labeling all private areas "private"
ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.

There is a massive effort underway to educate the people of New Orleans on their rights and best practices. The more of us who have this education, the safer we all are. It's a numbers game. Please please try to make time for one of these sessions and bring people with you!
Other upcoming Ojos trainings in addition to that one

Like the German public in the 1940s and the Belgian public in the 1860s and the English public in the 1840s and (insert government atrocity here), we are all responsible for the things we pretend not to know or refuse to know.

I want to hear Bill Cassidy say he regrets voting for RFK Jr. If not, I’ll assume he just regrets the political discomfort this is causing him.

So many good people in this city showing up and out for our community. Shout out to all the organizers too. So many needs, including helping those less tech savvy figure out all this new fangled communicating (& that might include me too).
