Villio's homeless criminalization bill is basically an old timey vagrancy law. They're bringing back all of Jim Crow at once this year. #lalege legis.la.gov/Legis/BillIn...

It's important to understand this trick. Right wingers have been arguing for decades that "the administrative state" is a usurpation of the judicial branch. Want regulation against polluters? Just sue them, they say. But then they make it illegal to sue #lalege www.nola.com/news/environ...
If you had told me, after Katrina and the BP disaster, that the only politically feasible action the US can take on climate change will be to force the public to accept it and shield its perpetrators from its costs, I would have said... well actually I said that #lalege www.nola.com/news/environ...
Thanks to the various tax reforms enacted at the beginning of Landry's term, the state is projecting a $900 million deficit by 2030. They do this on purpose in order to favor friends. It's a systematic looting #lalege lailluminator.com/2026/03/12/n...
