The @Tulane professor said she was told that her work with communities fighting the petrochemical plants was affecting Tulane's ability to get state resources for a "redevelopment project." Story from @jack_brook96#lalege#lagov
(Maybe Tulane's Big Charity project?)
Tulane basically sacrificed the residents of Cancer Alley who depend on the work of its environmental law clinic in order to protect its vanity real estate projects like the Charity Hospital refurbishment https://t.co/xqibY47nVq
Congrats to @lsureveille, @lsutigertv, @KLSURadio and other student media outlets, who (starting Aug. 1) will no longer have to pay their own universities for public records #lalege#lagov
I want to reiterate that @nchrastil had to sue to get this PUBLIC legal contract because state officials did not want to turn it over. It shows the state is paying attorneys $1,000 per hour to defend state police. #lalege#lagov
Taylor Swift's new song "Florida!!!" depicts the state like an old frontier town -- disorderly and dark, with murder, binge drinking and drugs -- the opposite of Gov. Ron DeSantis' tough "Law and Order" stance on crime.

HGA is meeting to discuss new state Supreme Court maps and the provision of HB6 that would jail those that disclose the identity of those involved in the execution process (such as drug companies). That would also apply to journalists who published leaked info #lalege#lagov
The 5th Cir. just issued a terrible #FirstAmendment-crushing en banc decision in @TheFIREorg (@jtmorristx) case Villarreal v. Laredo. It reverses an excellent panel opinion by Judge Ho, and allows police to arrest journalists for asking questions. Here’s how it starts:
An attorney representing the @ulsystem in a Title IX lawsuit wants a court to force @USATODAY investigative reporter @kennyjacoby to turn over unpublished communications with a source, a move that raises press freedom concerns #lalege#lagov

A beautiful tribute to Mrs. Carter's legacy on mental health from @CarterFellows alum @CTHerman, and a beautiful example of how the Fellowship trains journalists to "report on mental health accurately and with compassion."
