a big runoff last night, in New Orleans:
Calvin Duncan was exonerated after spending *28 years* in prison; he tried to get his own case records from the New Orleans city clerk—but the office dragged its feet.
So Duncan ran to become city clerk himself, and yesterday ousted the incumbent.

Ever since I read Letters from the Editor — the collected letters of The New Yorker’s founding editor, Harold Ross — back when I was starting out in journalism, I’ve had this more full understanding of E.B. White, so, yeah. Not on my watch.
When DHS dared to call its anti-immigrant racial profiling weekend in Charlotte, North Carolina, “Operation Charlotte’s Web,” I knew I was going to have to write about it.

Mike Johnson pearl-clutches while he says he's trying to protect girls/now women who were victimized, trafficked, and raped by Epstein, et. al., – but he's lying. The survivors' attorneys helped craft the Bill.

Come on! We moved Disney! Bet we could get her gone if enough folks canceled their Sirius subscriptions.
The fact that Megyn Kelly minimized raping 15 year olds and wasn't immediately canceled from every platform, including @siriusxmprog.bsky.social and YouTube, tells you EVERYTHING that is wrong with right wing media and this country in general.

Heartbreaking news out of Charlotte about the absolutely grotesque behavior by out of control federal agents.
Here’s a story for every national news outlet:
In N.C., churchgoers are literally running into the woods as federal agents descend on the property.
“Inside the church, women and children sobbed as they wondered whether their loved ones had been taken.”
