So it turns out that airports in the US are deeply dependent on money from the federal govt and they basically can't exist without it. Socialism, man. It's where you least expect it, but you should expect it because private businesses don't fund shit. Taxpayers do.

Dude would have told Martin we gotta stop the bus boycott after a month. Probably still shops at Target. Straight up scab energy would have told everyone to stop picketing for better working conditions after a week.

I’m right there with you! My husband is a Veteran and is working without pay for the V.A. and our young adult son with Autism has no SNAP benefits, but we believe every American deserves affordable healthcare. I’m terribly disappointed in and pissed of by the 8 Dems that got us exactly nowhere! WTF?

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Political retribution and punishing dissent creates a culture of "Yes Men". The removal of Morris was political and maybe they should ask themselves why they scored poorly on a housing scorecard instead of lashing out at an affordable housing advocacy organization. www.nola.com/news/politic...
New Orleans council dismissed a housing board member. Critics call it 'political retribution'
The City Council's move smacks of revenge politics, some say.

Calvin Duncan is the CLEAR choice for Clerk.
Very disappointing to see Moreno support Lombard. People do not *deserve* high-powered roles simply bc they’re from a prominent family or know the right people. N.O. deserves better than Lombard.

This is beyond reform. We need to be talking dismantling, abolition, and prosecution.
Ellis turns to the testimony of U.S. Border Patrol chief Greg Bovino. How he denied using force against a man he tackled and said he didn't see the Rev. David Black hit by pepperballs.
"More telling," she says, "defendant Bovino admitted that he lied."

🚨NEW STORY 🚨
Last month, over 400 activists were imprisoned by Israel for trying to bring aid into Gaza. 1 of them was Zue, an army vet.
Here, me and Zue discuss her voyage to Gaza, imprisonment, NOLA's role in the ongoing genocide in Gaza, & more.

#nolasky this also was roughly the margin of defeat between Troy Glover and Councilmember Green the last election. Every vote matters! We're in early voting now so please please geaux vote early or on election day Saturday, November 15!
I need more people to understand the movement that could be brewing here in Georgia if this young man only lost by 87 votes in COBB COUNTY.
87 votes was the margin of victory in Marietta, GA.

It's not radical to want your taxes to actually work for you. Universal childcare, universal Healthcare, free trade school and college tuition, public transit, affordable housing, all normal. It's that bootstrap Reagan propaganda that's the real villain; not leftists or democratic socialiats.
"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."
Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’
Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

Looks like some FOIA letters dropped #nolasky about incumbent clerk of court not doing his job. Caused the illegal release of defendants due to carelessness with paperwork. They let a guy leave the state to Maine while in bond... not allowed without court permission.

Everyone should pay careful attention to the Maine voter ID ballot measure (Prop 1). It is on track to lose -- thereby proving that the GOP claims that voter ID laws are overwhelmingly popular is a lie. Perhaps now the legacy media will stop repeating that nonsense.
