I travel a lot for work and judge places by their sidewalks. Being outside is my favorite thing.

Recovering Saints & LSU fan. (No, I don’t know what the score is.)

May those who love us, love us.
And for those who do not love us, may god turn their hearts,
So that they may come to love us.
And if god cannot turn their hearts,
May he turn their ankles.
So that we may know them by their limping.

I know there were a lot of things about yesterday's election that were (choose your adjective 🤬) and there's going to have to be some real changes made, but also let's take a minute to celebrate Erica's VICTORY and the part that so many of you played in making it happen! #NOLAsky #Geauxvote

#DidYouKnow there is a special election today? This rare election is to elect a supervisor of the Crescent Soil and Water Conservation District.

There are only a handful of polling locations for today! Swipe to find the one nearest to you and re-elect Erica Johnson! (IG: @its.petit.jardin)

Excited to watch an old white guy pretend to reign as king of an imaginary empire tonight. Also the State of the Union is on.

🧵Okay, the weirdest fing thing happened to me today. Yes, I called 911, even though I'm still befuddled. I was finishing up a walk-and-talk with a coworker and walking home from City Park on N Henn at Orleans. I was minding my own business and not holding up traffic as I crossed...

It’s common sense that defunding $20M from our public schools is irresponsible and harmful. Full stop. 🛑

LOUISIANA PEOPLE!

I need you to call Senator Dr. Bill Cassidy, telling him to NOT confirm RFK Jr for Health Secretary.

He’s a swing vote!

It took 40 seconds of my time to call. I left a voicemail. His staff tallies the calls.

He’s a vote that can be flipped:

- he’s a doctor

- pro-vaccine🧵

Sen Tim Kaine (D-VA) speech about Trump Admin. "buyout" idea for federal workers

"He's tricked hundreds of people with that offer. If you accept that offer and resign, he'll stiff you just like he stiffed the contractors. He doesn't have any authority to do this. Do not be fooled by this guy"
