I live, work, play, write and make good trouble in New Orleans.
I think I imagined this, but did the NYT’s article about how scared and sad Mike Johnson is quietly allude to the fact that Stephen Miller only eats mayonnaise?

Dr. Mary Edwards Walker was born 193 years ago today: Nov. 26, 1832.
She was a doctor, Civil War surgeon, and women's dress reform advocate, but is best known as America's only female Medal of Honor recipient. Here's a great 2019 We're History article about her from author R.E. Fulton.

Dr. Mary E. Walker: “Clothes Make the (Wo)man”

Folks, if your library doesn’t have a book you want to read, ask them to buy a copy. Most have a convenient form and will let you know when it comes in. If your library offers ILL, they can even borrow books from other libraries.

Everyone tell James Carville to go away.
My understanding is that James Carville is talking again. Let’s just skip to the end where we all agree that he’s terrible.

I love Bluesky because I get to enjoy birds, mushrooms, and sunsets with people who hate the Orange Menace as much as I do.

This part.
The left joins with right against the middle takes on the Trump/Mamdani meeting are way off. There is nothing substantive here. There will be no policy breakthroughs. That’s not what this is about. It’s about a young smart guy who knew how to play an old fool who worships stars.

After centuries of imperialism, colonialism, enslavement, and extraction, people in Europe and the United States claim to feel invaded? Sometimes you just have to marvel at the irony of it all. A long overdue bill is being presented for payment. Abolish all borders.

Are Andrew Cuomo and James Carville actually the same person? Has anyone seen them together in the same room? And if they are the same person, will they both go away and never come back?

The perverse pride of being the worst state of all was denied once again to LA. We usually have Mississippi to thank for making us #2 from the bottom, but this time shout out to Kentucky for treating old people even worse than the great state of Louisiana! #wearetheworst #bestworststate #louisiana

I stayed up until 2 am and got up at 5:30, and I feel like shit. I’m 58. The only reason I am gleeful is the thought of a 79 year-old overweight, unbalanced, dis-regulated, orange turd dealing with jet lag on a packed schedule. Run his ass ragged, please, nations of Asia.

I love to do a politically inflected Halloween display. I had a wrathful Dakini slaying trump in 2020 on my front porch and nothing in 2024 and I think that’s probably why he won. It’s my fault.
This is amazing. And it’s truly the stuff of nightmares.

Charter School Reckoning: Decline, Disillusionment and Cost - Network For Public Education
Part I: Decline, the first installment of a three-part report, Charter School Reckoning, presents sobering findings on the stagnation, retrenchment, and accelerating closures plaguing the charter school sector as it enters its fourth decade. The report, published by the National Center for Charter School Accountability, documents that in the first half of 2025 alone, 50 […]

I taught for 34 years in New Orleans and can verify this article tells no lies. Utter chaos, failure, incompetence, racism, discrimination, and instability is the legacy the charter system. Will any of the architects of and people who profited off this failed experiment admit it? Never!

The ‘Miracle’ of New Orleans School Reform Since Katrina Is Not What It Seems
The city’s all-charter school experiment is a cautionary tale about what happens when democracy is stripped from public education.
