Convient outrage to push a tough on crime narrative when in fact Louisiana only knows incarceration as a tool and nothing else and still ranks last in every thing
Jeff Landry has been the chief law enforcement officer of Louisiana for over a decade — eight years as AG, three as governor. We are still ranked #50 in crime.
The governor stood at a podium today after a mass shooting at the Mall of Louisiana and offered nothing but the same failed playbook. More jails. More Angola. More dog whistles.
At some point the record has to speak louder than the rhetoric.
The data is clear — Jeff Landry’s policies cost us more money and they don’t make us safer.
I am praying for every family impacted by this act of violence and all the violence across our state. Too many families are carrying this grief because our leaders choose to be reactive instead of proactive.
Notice I’m not focused on his dog whistles and racism — that’s what he wants. His policies are far more racist than his rhetoric. Talk about how he’s failed as a leader. That’s how we remove him next year.

Mentoring is a holistic process. Using the phenomenological theory of change we work to ensure our process supports whole learning. Julienne Louis master curriculum instructor has worked to implement learning that is individualized to the needs of each mentee.

The administration created the environment and of its unhealthy the kids will act accordingly as well

Suspensions in schools disproportionately impact Black and brown students. The inequality of the system toward young people could negatively change the trajectory of their lives. It is time to hold the system accountable for this unfair treatment. #nomoreprisons, #investinkids

AND we don't do enough to protect folks around those issues. Instead we just punish our neighbors for having a hard time. The spirit to help our neighbors we all real proud of? It doesn't show up in our policy environment. Instead our policies are ever more just...mean.

Incredible the amount of people who have reading comprehension issues. We over incarcerate more than anywhere else. This is NOT because people are *born* with a bad character that leads them to jail. Things happen along the way that lead them there (poverty, abuse, education etc) – at New Orleans, LA

TLDR: the owner of @ChickfilA also owns a major movie studio (called “Trilith”) outside of Atlanta where @MarvelStudios has filmed a bunch of recent movies & series.
Both the @ChickfilA owner & the CEO of Trilith are on the Board of Directors for the Atlanta Police Foundation.
So @MarvelStudios films over 50% of their films at Trilith. Meanwhile, it’s increasingly clear that Marvel works closely with the Pentagon to produce propaganda for the U.S. military in exchange for access to expensive & cutting edge military equipment. movieweb.com/marvel-pentagon…

#NOLA's new police chief is off to a great start as NOPD looks to implement drones as a force multiplier – as if a surveillance network of 900+ cameras, the use of facial recognition tech and multiple LPRs wasn't enough.
Email [email protected] and tell them NO DRONES!
@EFF Hello, concerned citizen alerting you to an upcoming town hall on NOPD's use of UAS for domestic surveillance. Would love advice to help bring awareness of the crisis of privacy to this meeting- or if you have local reps in LA, DM me

They already bought the drones & trained 11 officers before they even made a policy or change the law
Last day to get your public comments in for NOPD's proposed policy and use of drones in #NOLA. Have you sent your email in opposition yet???
Sooooo I bet people think it’s because of police that crime is low huh ?

What are you learning this #BlackAugust about the Black freedom fighters who have fought for liberation and continued a radical tradition of resistance? Listen to what one of our youth members learned during FFLIC’s freedom summer school. #BLM #resist #blackjoy #nomoreprisons
