In a conservative state, a report from the New Orleans Health Department chronicles the new law's effects:
As the new mother bled, the doctor asked for an update on the medication. “It should have been here by now,” the nurse said.
The woman turned to her doctor. “Is this how I’m going to die?”
The incredible grassroots anti-ICE organizing in LA, Chicago, NC, and now New Orleans is probably the most hopeful political thing I’ve seen all year.

Broad Street, usually buzzing with activity, is quieter as people fear immigration raids
Broad Street has long been an epicenter of Black-owned business and is now a hub for the city's Latino community.
European Union regulators have fined Elon Musk's social media platform X 120 million euros for failing to comply with digital regulations.
A lot of elected officials have weighed in and congratulated the winners of the New Orleans election but Mayor LaToya Cantrell has not yet said anything about Helena Moreno’s win Saturday 🤨

Hey New Orleans bluesky, I’m looking to talk to some local folks in the autistic community in the next few days/early next week for a story. Shoot me a DM if ya’d like to chat or know somebody who might
It’s not perfect but New Orleans’ crime is way down and it is generally a city where strangers will call you “baby” and share food with you even when they’re broke, but I guess it’s a flex to beg an aspiring tyrant to approve the deployment of uniformed 20 yr olds to stand around looking confused
Notice he changed his tie to fit in with his hero’s gold fixation.
We take care of us. If you want alternative media to survive and thrive in New Orleans, we need your support.

Instead of “Alligator Alcatraz” or “Alligator Auschwitz”, let me suggest that we call it simply the Dade-Collier Concentration Camp.
Hang the name on Florida. Make them own this disgraceful moment in U.S. history. Make our grandchildren lobby to change the name of Dade County out of shame.

NYT headline: A.I. Is Getting More Powerful, but Its Hallucinations Are Getting Worse
AI is Getting Worse, but It's Getting Worse
A top coronavirus vaccine adviser at the CDC has resigned, citing concerns that she could no longer help vulnerable people after officials rescinded recommendations to immunize children and pregnant women.
There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.
Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.
