AGs from 17 states suing the U.S. government, hoping that a judge will find one of the nation’s key disability laws unconstitutional.

Onstage tonight at Madison Square Garden and the piano microphones completely shut off mid song. Necessity is the mother of invention! I love being a performer and what it brings out of you. It's a beautiful parallel to life 🙏🏾❤️

Katy Reckdahl 's preferred piece from '24 was her report on the nation’s most conservative appellate court siding with the agricultural laborers at the Louisiana State Penitentiary. 📰: buff.ly/3Y5FcvS

MiZzY 's favorite article of 2024 is her Juneteenth article, which intricately weaves a historical narrative on how music has served as a powerful instrument in combating racial oppression. 📰: buff.ly/45rPJD9

In 2024, MiZzY believed that X 's article deserved more attention. It urged the city council to complete the street renaming project they initiated four years earlier. buff.ly/4ckH9s0 📰: buff.ly/4ckH9s0

Ignoring Katrina’s effects in the Lower 9 — as the Super Bowl committee had insinuated — is like going to Manhattan and not acknowledging that the Twin Towers fell, Green says.

The Lower 9 is characterized by Lionel Milton as both tragedy and comedy, with a history rich in musicians, athletes, artists, and Black homeowners before Katrina. Milton emphasizes the importance of this history for all visitors. buff.ly/4hg7pa3

My thoughts on Louisiana firing up the execution chamber again after 15 years thelensnola.org/2025/03/14/fir…

.Jarvis DeBerry has a perspective on the execution of Jessie Hoffman that I don't think any other journalist has. He covered Hoffman's trial 27 years ago. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-… #lalege

#TheLensNola🔍 People still say, ‘That’s not the Jessie I knew.’ But most didn’t know what he endured at home – and that’s likely what drove him on that day, psychiatrists say. ✍: @KatyReckdahl Click the 🔗 for the full article! buff.ly/z09VFV5
