Louisiana paroled nine prisoners to deport them.

We found that at least two have been deported, while two others are being held at a new immigration detention facility.

But neither ICE nor the Landry admin would answer questions about the other five.

With @veritenews.org
Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them.

Posse Comitatus is such a great episode.

And also, Posse Comitatus is a federal law enacted in 1878 prohibiting the use of the military in domestic law enforcement.

Has nobody in the republican party watched The West Wing?!

The good news:

1) Aftyn Behn moved a ruby red district 12 points more blue.

2) She can and should run again in the midterm election.

3) With real investment and good candidates, every R+ 7 or less seat is now in play.

The bad news:

Rural white voters are still the absolute worst.

All my favorite small businesses in walking distance from my house closed within 6 months of Trump’s stupid tariffs because they couldn’t absorb the 100% increase in prices, their supply chains collapsed, and they had to cut and run.

Shame on the GOP for pretending to support small business.

These two things are true:
1) Shooting National Guard members is horrific and criminal.
2) So is putting National Guard members in harm’s way to score political points.

Sorry, I went back to dance class in March and now its my entire personality. You know, the way it was from the ages of 5-25 (except the 3 years I was a horse girl).

Am I surprised? Yes. Should I be? No.

My adhd brain’s current hyperfocus is Irish dance. I’ve designed my dress, I’ve told my teacher to vote for Slip Jig/Jig for next year, I’m breaking in shoes, and I’m choreographing a set dance in my head that I could feasibly compete with early next year.

I just wanna get in the studio!

Teen Vogue was killing it. I was really looking forward to getting my niece hooked on y’all for the political coverage.

This is so stupid.
thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting.

now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I LOVE halloween.

I love that it is all about community. We’re connecting with our ancestors. With our neighbors. With our wild sides. With the sidhe.

I could have just been the house with big candy. But i am ALSO the Blue Ring Octopus and the girl with a little bonfire and a party speaker.
