Can't beat her on policy so dig up and trump up charges – at New Orleans, LA
A Democratic House candidate in North Carolina was hit with a felony criminal summons while attending her own campaign event earlier this month. Lakesha Womack, running to unseat Rep. Tim Moore in the state's 11th congressional district, was served by a Polk County sheriff's deputy on Oct. 11 for felony failure to return a hired motor vehicle — charges she says stem from a 2019 rental car she couldn't afford while homeless and living in a hotel with her son. Womack claims she had no idea the charges were pending until days before the event. Moore's campaign fired back, saying the situation "raises serious questions" and that Womack "owes voters an explanation, especially since her court date is one week after the election." If convicted, she faces up to 24 months behind bars. Story here: foxnews.com/politics/democra…

A GOP genuflecting to economic darwinists and crony capitalists drives voters toward candidates like this. – at New Orleans, LA
Louisiana U.S. Senate nominee Jamie Davis: "You can't take the hospitals from where I live... you cannot snatch our healthcare from people that need it. And you can see it in the turnout. People are mad." @rolandsmartin youtu.be/hxEDy6HcT48

He would definitely shift the power dynamic a little in a super majority White GOP LA congressional delegation. As an 'independent-independent', I'm watching this development. Black people shouldn't be lorded over by outsiders but he also will back Dem agenda - Catch 22 – at New Orleans, LA

Letlow has problematic ties to lobbyists and data centers. Conversely being called not conservative enough on DEI by the hard right, which may yield better policy than what we've seen from Republican senators lately.

Also checked on the two fisted pharmacy security officer I'd drop in on last year before I got sick. Gave him two granola bars, my traditional offering and after finding out he loves tuna fish salad too, gave him a box of it too.

Let Essence Fest leave. Its day is done – at New Orleans, LA
The Essence Fest may be finding a new home next year… The @HelenaMorenoLA administration is ensuring ALL parties benefit from the relationship. Great job. Keep in mind that an event of this size is a huge lift for public safety and the $10M-$12M in “subsidies” likely includes overtime. Ie, the department/city foots the bill.

Don't know if they voted for 'Her Highness' but the plan is to make this a big airbnb/hotel complex with its working class commuting in from red parishes who don't want them. This is corporate Dem subservience to tourism overlords (and it wouldn't be different under a GOP mayor)
Residents SHOWED UP! At City Council town halls, New Orleans residents voice concern with tax hikes: "I don't see the Super Bowl quality of life right now (referring to Mayor Moreno's core campaign promise)... We're at a breaking point where people can't afford the increase, it's already really hard to live here." Michelle Graci-Janusa • Lakeview "I'm not sure we know what services we're going to get if we give the city more money." Patrick Braud • Carrollton "If we push out everybody that is not wealthy, the middle class is crushed, man. Then who are we as a city?" Morgan Clevenger • New Orleans "My street was rated as a failure... 10 years ago. Nothing has been done to it, and there's nothing in the works to get it fixed."

This is true! – at New Orleans, LA
You can criticize me, disagree with my approach, or not like my tone. But one thing you can’t say is that I’m not doing the work. For over a decade, I’ve consistently shown up for our communities, and I’m going to keep showing up because building Black political power matters more than being liked. I’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for families, employed dozens of Black consultants, taught Civics for the People as a free class to help folks understand their government and their power, and made sacrifices to speak truth to power. And I’m still outside, even when my name isn’t on the ballot. This isn’t a trend for me. It’s a commitment. We also have to recognize when people don’t take our communities seriously and hold them accountable. You can’t improve a community you won’t engage. Black political power starts with showing up. Shoutout to @rolandsmartin for coming to Baton Rouge and creating a space where Hillar Moore finally showed up to answer questions from Black voters. Share if you care 🦾

Latino interventionism on the rogue descendants of African slaves in this hemisphere, clash of the aftermath of colonialism. – at New Orleans, LA
🇸🇻🇭🇹 BUKELE TO HAITI’S GANGS: GIVE THEM BACK ALIVE, OR ELSE El Salvador has deployed roughly 1,000 troops to Haiti after four Salvadoran aviation technicians were kidnapped following a gang ambush near Port-au-Prince. “Our kidnapped men are not combatants... Today’s attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive... We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too.” Bukele’s message could hardly be clearer: return the four Salvadorans unharmed, or prepare for a very different kind of visit.

I had the honor of meeting this beloved ancestor – at New Orleans, LA
It is my understanding that Kwame Turé used terms like “socialism” and “communism” as mnemonic device to explain what any African with common sense already observed. Like Dr. Amos said “Many of [our] conclusions may parallel Marx but the origin is not Marx and that means that those ideas are our possession”. This also means the solution must be one that comes from us even if we use the language of “socialism” to describe it.
