One of the bills we'll be watching is Rep. Knox's anti-unhoused bill that bars open flames under bridges and overpasses. This bill could also be used against vendors under the Claiborne Bridge during second lines.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

We don’t yet know if Estefany Rodríguez’s detention was in retaliation for her reporting but we certainly wouldn’t be surprised.

ICE abductions of noncitizen journalists take the reporters best equipped to cover immigration enforcement off the beat.

ya know how Chrome will populate a new tab with links to frequently visited sites? I've always found it annoying and obtrusive but not enough to figure out how to stop it. Well now its loading the "funeral liturgy" site I used for pop's funeral last month and i'm really hating Chrome so much

I’m pretty positive sweet potatoes are a fine snack for pups, though there are a ton of different varieties so maybe some aren’t good. We give our pups sweet potato based homemade treats and they’re all good

New Orleans, landlord near deal to stave off Musicians' Village evictions for one year The Housing Authority of New Orleans hopes to finalize a deal this week with the new landlord of eight Musicians’ Village rentals to keep tenants in their apartments for the next year.

The Moreno administration says its close to a deal with a Metairie based landlord to stave off Musicians' Village evictions for one year -- though given Sam Madi's history nothing is certain until there's some sort of legally enforceable document in place

Sex workers are bad asses, excellent organizers and we’d all benefit greatly from paying attention to them — and frankly putting em in charge of a bunch of shit in this broken ass country.

yeah I've liked some of his work. I just find his weird views on masculinity and border communities super off putting. it prolly doesn't help that when I was writing about the border people kept insisting I should write books like his tbh
