The Environmental Impact Statement for the massive Mid-Barataria Mississippi River Diversion project reveals devastating truths - Image
The project will be the final curtain call for one of the largest dolphin populations in the United States. Already reeling from the BP oil spill, the population of over 2000 mammals will be mercilessly driven to functional extinction from the polluted MS River water. Image
Furthermore, it spells certain doom for Louisiana’s shrimp & oyster industries, leaving coastal communities and the tourism/restaurant economies that depend on them completely destitute. ImageImageImage

Over all trends are consistent with #15DayTrends (based on sequences uploaded in the public databases)

XBB.1.5 is still at the top; followed by XBB.1.16 & XBB.1.9.1

As expected XBB.1.16, XBB.1.5.15* (FD.2) featured in the CDC nowcast today!

XBB.1.16* hotspots per CDC #Nowcast

As expected, hotspots are in regions 2, 3, 4, 9, 10

#Louisiana is in the top 3 states for gun violence.

Meanwhile, their legislators are doing just absolute moralizing nonsense.

It is not going to stop here.
2/ @RepSchlegel is behind #Louisiana's creepy moral panic legislation.

Yes, people will use VPNs...

But the bigger issue: this is the leading edge of efforts to insert the government deep into your web browsing. Image

2022 #Midterms Simulation: #ArtoftheGerrymander

A Republican House win will be built on gerrymanders (TX/GA/FL/TN/LA, etc.)

To illustrate the need for fair maps, I'm calculating the results using the 2022 votes, but if every state had a Democratic gerrymander. #ElectionTwitter ImageImageImageImage
Methodology:

I’ll apply the difference in Presidential margin to the House result. Thanks @davesredist @mikemathieu @vest_team + @DKElections @PoliticsWolf

Keen to see how my maps perform over the decade; tried to comply with state law if partisan intent were allowed to stand.
#ArtoftheGerrymander: #Alabama
Trump 62.0% - Biden 36.6%
Real delegation: 6R-1D
Gerrymandered: 5R-2D
Δ Share of D seats: 14% => 28%
Easy Democratic pick-up of a safe new African American seat.

Thank you @AOC I would not be silenced by @RepClayHiggins so let's talk about #petrochemicals in #Louisiana that are disproportionately killing Black people, shattering climate efforts and suffocating the world in plastic and other toxics. A thread.
#Petrochemicals, which are the toxic oil and gas products used to make plastics and pesticides, are #bigoil's big bet - set to be the main consumer of crude oil by 2050 they will shatter climate efforts like the #ParisAgreement: reuters.com/business/envir…
@RepClayHiggins' Louisiana is home to 150 #petrochemical plants - they are a part of the state’s ongoing legacy of #fossilfuelracism, and are killing Black and low-income residents. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…

@freep found that “a young patient was bitten, choked and taunted to kill herself," at a now-closed Detroit #troubledteenindustry facility that housed youth “who might otherwise end up in juvenile detention.”

We might not call it #incarceration but the #tti *IS* carceral.
In the #juvenilejustice system, things aren't any better. Youth in #Texas spend all but 30 minutes in #isolation and have resorted to using water bottles as toilets because there aren't enough staff to take them out of their cells. Texas' #childwelfare system is in shambles, too

1. On the passing of #BillRussell. I've been a @Celtics fan for a long time. Prior to that I was a kid in St Louis and my dad was the @AP photographer who covered the #StLouis, now @ATLHawks. My two favorite players were Bob Pettit and Cliff Hagen. I recall my dad bought me a
2. small giftshop basketball and got them to autograph it. I've long since lost it and it was the only autographs he ever got for us from St. Louis players. We would never ask for one though we were around the teams on several occasion. There was a story recounted by Bob Pettit
3. about a ride home from the @NBA Allstar game. Bill Russell had been picked and his dad travelled from #Louisiana to St. Louis to watch his son play. After the game the Pettits were driving back to their home in Louisiana and offered Bill Russell and his dad a ride.

What does Roe mean for women in #Louisiana?

First, the 3 clinics are now closed because of our #triggerban. While there is hope for litigation, I strongly suggest that anyone needing abortion care make plans to go out of state. 1
Luckily there are many pro choice states that have prepared for this, like California, Illinois, New York, & New Mexico to name a few. The closest by car is Illinois. It's rough. 2
Many, many women who seek abortion care have limited means. It will be even harder for them to seek this care if they have to fly out of state, get a hotel room, arrange for child care, etc. You can contact @NolaAbortionFnd @JanesDueProcess @AbortionFunds for info on funding. 3
