My gawd. Neither.
Should New Orleans build a new special needs jail? Or should the city invest in renovating the existing central jail to accommodate inmates?
The two candidates in the race for Orleans Parish sheriff have different thoughts: 🔻 nola.com/news/politics/elect…

Just a reminder that 10 years ago this summer, when mass arrests began in the Keystone fight, 93% of "insiders" said the project would be approved.
Today TC Energy threw in the towel for good. Never ever give up.

I salute the Republican Senators who voted their conscience and for our Country.
Other Senate Republicans’ refusal to hold Trump accountable will go down as one of the darkest days and most dishonorable acts in our nation’s history.

COVID did not cause a public health crises in our jails and prisons. By design those institutions have always been a public health crises, and it’s time to reimagine what accountability and healing should look like in our communities.

If Senate Republicans fail to convict Donald Trump, it won't be because the facts were with him or his lawyers mounted a competent defense. It will be because the jury includes his co-conspirators.
