We may be in the darkest timeline right now, but there is one silver lining worth noting: VOTER TURNOUT 🗳️

Let's talk about voter turnout across the state for the May election, and why these numbers give me hope. https://t.co/NlxXN1XIjw

[jpmorrell @JPMorrell]

While it's not the results we were hoping for, there are some major highlights in both the majority and dissenting opinions worth discussing. As always, let's get into it, New Orleans.

Read the Supreme Court's ruling here: https://t.co/hiWORNqba0

#WATCH Today, the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled in a 4-3 split decision that the appointment of the Orleans Parish Clerk did not require a special election.

I'm proud that New Orleans is a safe haven for queer people, thanks to many years of advocacy from the community itself.

Happy Pride, Y'all! #YallMeansAll

Happy #PrideMonth, New Orleans! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Despite renewed attacks across the country, the LGBTQ+ community continues to be a bright light for the culture, especially in New Orleans.

I’ve played Destiny for years. Both Sony & former C-Suite have done this beloved community dirty.

If you’ve played D1 or D2 take 10 secs & sign the petition. It’s a Hail Mary but it’s all that left.

Petition Sony to develop D3 - Sign! https://t.co/EVUzoE05nN via @Change

So let’s do a deep dive into Louisiana’s usurper law: what is a usurper, the racist history behind the law from Reconstruction to the 1960s, and why it’s no coincidence that it’s being used to threaten your elected officials.

[jpmorrell @JPMorrell]

The State Attorney General is threatening to remove 5 City Councilmembers under Louisiana’s Usurper Law because of our vote on Monday.

Like many of us, you may be asking, What is a usurper?

But when you look at previous attempts by legislators to "study" SWBNO, all roads lead to nowhere.

SWBNO is broken. It's time for solutions, not roadblocks. Today was a good day for the City of New Orleans.

[jpmorrell @JPMorrell]

GOOD NEWS: Our SWBNO Reform bill unanimously passed out of committee today, but not without some fireworks 💥

The Bureau of Governmental Research spoke in committee today in an attempt to block HB 1243 and advocate for, you guessed it, another study. https://t.co/dThoITIada

[jpmorrell @JPMorrell]

So let's talk about Rep. Landry's report, how it's actually just a memo generated by a current SWBNO member, and my invitation to further debate the issue with Rep. Landry this Thursday in Baton Rouge.

[jpmorrell @JPMorrell]

When I posted my video last week, I figured that Rep. Landry would respond. I did not expect her to fully lie about her "study report."
