I'm sure this is just the tip of the iceberg... Her confounding behavior in regards to the Wisner Trust and FQ sanitation contract raises a lot of questions as well. www.nola.com/news/politic... #NOLA

Me after hearing the news that Latoya Cantrell has been indicted by a federal grand jury... #NOLA #ChristmasInAugust

If we’ve learned anything from The Great Escape and events like this, it’s that NOLA Ready texts ain’t worth sh*t if the system can’t share pictures or at least share **LINKS** to pictures.

There are a lot of pre-teen Hispanic boys in the world… A picture would help. 🤯 #NOLA

On the 50th anniversary of the Fall of #Saigon and the end of the wars in Indochina, read this account by James Fenton of his experience riding on North Vietnamese tanks as they rolled through the city on April 30th 1975: share.evernote.com/note/ba53838...

This is the 6200 blk of Douglas Street in Holy Cross - I’ve never seen it flooded like this before. #NOLA

I haven’t seen water like this in a long time. Storm water is up to my front steps, which almost never happens… #NOLA

The state’s teachers unions are not progressive. They will sell out their purported allies at the drop of a hat… The fact that they’re throwing their PAC money behind this is shameful. #NOLAed #LaEd #LaLege #LaGov

Good morning from the best neighborhood in town… #NOLA

Also, it's only news in the 19th Century, pre-telegraph, news-traveling-by-ship sense... I was tweeting about this over 2 months ago...

If you wouldn't vote for a felon before, why would you vote for a felon now? #NOLA

I kept bees until last summer when we went to Oregon for 2 months & our colony flew off after the hive openings got covered by overgrowth & vines.

10 mins ago a huge swarm of bees flew into my backyard & is in the process of occupying the empty hive. Crazy to watch. #NOLA

I remember when The Lens provided legitimate, much-needed news for our city. Now it’s an agenda-driven publication taking sides on issues instead of presenting readers with the facts.

When you’re posting things like this on Nextdoor it’s not journalism; it’s activism. #NOLA #media

Foggy AF on the levee this morning… #NOLA

.@helenamorenola.bsky.social: Don't ally yourself with the NIMBY Stop The Grain Train group. They are spreading lies about the Alabo Street grain terminal and fundraising off those lies. Do not give their misinformation campaign oxygen. Really disappointing. www.nola.com/news/new-orl... #NOLA

These folks are wasting everyone’s time and donors’ money filing lawsuits trying to catch Port NOLA on a legal technicality that will have no impact on the Alabo Wharf project… and still lose. They don’t have a legal leg to stand on in this fight. www.nola.com/news/port-of... #NOLA

Cindy Van Dam was a fellow 2002 Teach For America corps member here in #NOLA. Unlike most of us who were recent college grads, Cindy joined TFA mid-career. She was caring, passionate about social justice & dedicated to her students. She deserved better. www.nola.com/news/crime_p...

Hey @wdsu6.bsky.social: Stop carrying water for what is obviously a political attack masquerading as an organization called "United Front" (no such org exists) backed by sketchy & incompetent politicos like Tyrell Morris & Susan Hutson. Try doing actual journalism. #NOLA

Uh-oh... westbound lanes of Claiborne Ave bridge is closed due to police activity... #NOLA

I could very clearly see and smell the smoke from the fires southwest of city when I was on the levee in Holy Cross a few minutes ago (the dark cloud over the CCC below). #NOLA

The National Weather Service is now warning of a potential Super Fog developing due to smoke from fires southwest of the city... #NOLA

Y'all might be my neighbors, but you are in no way representative of this neighborhood as the picture from one of the news pieces you shared makes quite clear... 😂🤣😂

You also didn't provide any evidence to support the lies I initially called out below because you don't have it.

Have a good day.
