“Intersex” is the “I” in LGBTQIA. Learned a lot, watching this.

Hey #nolasky #blacksky www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans...

Why in the world is Nicole wearing lace pants at work? Are dress codes or even simple decorum no longer a thing? #beyondthegates #btg

Even if there was theft, a pack of diapers in no way merits gunfire to recover it. This is appalling on so many levels I can’t even begin to calculate.

Just finished reading @hughryan.bsky.social's new memoir, My Bad: A Personal History of the Queer Nineties and Beyond. It is as excellent & more than I expected it to be. Is it weird to have a favorite historian? Ready to pass it on but don’t want to let it go. bookshop.org/p/books/my-b...

I was all disappointed to lose my Paramount hookup today of all days, but given what I’m reading here I’m not gonna bother to seek out an alternative. I don’t want to watch these developing storylines with Dani/Andre/Bill/Ashley. This isn’t entertaining to me. I’m out. #btg #beyondthegates

And why is Ted in these burgundy/red suits lately? #BeyondtheGates #btg

Why would Nicole tell Shanice that Martin's fundraiser wouldn’t be the same without her there?? That doesn’t even make sense. #BeyondtheGates #btg

First time since this show started I just couldn’t take the sounds of Jacob’s & Ashley’s bad-acting voices & fast-forwarded through all their scenes. When the Paramount+ subscription runs out in a couple of weeks, I think I’m done. This show could have been so much more. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

I don’t know who’s more unlikable at this point—Jacob or Naomi—but they can both go. I’d take Derek back in a heartbeat over either of them. #BeyondTheGates #btg

I dread to see what kind of drama they’ve cooked up for Donnell and possibly Deanna. Those characters have barely gotten to establish themselves. Plus, months of nothing and now everything is happening next week?? Jesus be a writer’s room that understands pacing. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

Even a poster of Martin Luther King was yanked from Cal's Multicultural Community Center. Student organizations are banned from hosting events.

Martin’s killing nightmares, Bill and Dani circling each other—did CBS/Paramount accidentally air a season 1 episode today?? #beyondthegates #btg

I've always admired Governor Moore's dedication to service and his willingness to stand up resolutely especially in the face of adversity (this administration thinking that they call bully Maryland into submission.) Great to be in St Mary's County. Im running be your next fighter in Congress!

Robert Brooks Taken to a prison infirmary at Marcy Correctional Facility Because of medical privacy, the officers thought the cameras were off. The footage captured a 10 minute brutal beating while Brooks was handcuffed WELCOME TO AMERICA

Come on, Louisiana: www.reddit.com/r/NewOrleans...

Calvin Duncan, a man imprisoned for 30 years before he was exonerated, won an election in New Orleans promising to fix a judicial system that failed him Now, Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry and the GOP-controlled Legislature are racing to eliminate his job before he can be sworn in

Why is Leslie carrying ChelseaKat? #BTG #BeyondtheGates

Naomi can’t just tell people Jacob’s tied up in “cop stuff” and let it be? Who who be scandalized to learn that there’s police business he can’t share? The lying instead is so transparent. #beyondthegates #btg

Bill is the least professional boss—cursing at Tomas and prioritizing the opinion of the employee he sleeps with. Tomas is a snooze but I can’t stand Bill. He’s a complete jackass. #beyondthegates

Why is Naomi sulking around like a newlywed who didn’t realize she married a cop? They don’t know what to do with her character. #beyondthegates

New Orleans friends, When I heard the Michael movie was a reality, I knew I wanted to create something for us. Michael Jackson forever. ✨ Fri, April 17 ➡️ Off the Wall: The All MICHAEL Party 📍Tipitina’s Fri, April 24 ➡️ Michael opens at the Broad Theater I’m hosting 7pm screening ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

The NY Times saves its harshest skepticism for progressives. Instead of being impressed by 3,000+ coordinated protests, NYT dismisses the value of “hitting a number” and asks if No Kings will be “a primal scream that fades into a whimper.” F off, NY Times. We'll defeat fascism w/o you. (Gift link)

If you want to get a sense of how fucked & racist this country is, come spend some time with me in the records, where today I happened upon the case of a free Black Marylander, Charles Lee, who purchased his own family from a Catholic college only to be prevented by law from freeing them.

This is shitty, New Orleans.

By refusing Oudone Lothirath permission to receiveve four out of five chemotherapy appointments while in ICE detention, ICE has given him what is essentially a death sentence. He will die from cancer imminently, just another ICE death in detention. www.startribune.com/how-ice-deta...

The Harvard Peabody Museum still holds 46% of the Native American ancestors in its collections, falling short of a 2022 pledge to repatriate all ancestors and their funerary belongings within 3 years. Shalini N. Ramchune reports. www.thecrimson.com/article/2026...

I hate the way Vernon, Dani, & Nicole are treating Anita’s decision. When my mother was diagnosed with renal failure she opted out of dialysis. Everyone told us to make her do it, but my sisters & I were all in agreement that it was her choice. I think it gave her a lot of peace. #beyondthegates

11. Read the story here. www.propublica.org/article/hugo...

2. Attorneys later found that Holland had failed to turn over a trove of evidence in that case. It wasn’t the first time. In two other death penalty cases, the courts found that Holland failed to turn over potentially exonerating evidence. veritenews.org/2026/03/24/h...

1. Louisiana prosecutor Hugo Holland has had a career mired in controversy: concealed evidence, alleged racism, false paperwork. He once compared a mentally disabled Black teen to a dog during a death penalty case and told the jury to “get rid of it.” 🧵 from @veritenews.org @propublica.org

First it’s the LA Public Service Commission approving a plan to abandon electrical service in Terrebonne Parish and now it’s Lake Tahoe getting its power snatched to fuel data centers. Where is that general strike folks speak of?? Is anything going to stop this rush to utter madness in this country?

HURREVAC, the hurricane planning tool that meteorologists and emergency managers use for making critical decisions, including ordering evacuations, is about to become inaccessible for an indefinite period following the lapse of the federal contract governing it.

It gets worse:
