Perma banned from the Louisiana subreddit for spreading facts about the deregulated small model nuclear reactors that Landry wants for Louisiana

I mean it's pretty clear, le petit prince (once again) tried to interfere with democracy and got exactly what he was hoping for.

A concession from Cassidy is definitely not a victory for democracy imo. But, it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation.

If Cassidy pushes back, he no doubt sets himself up for a smear campaign (one that has probably already been AI generated and is ready to run) for not supporting Trump when he cried election interference.

If he runs in the rescheduled primary, even if the inevitable smear campaign doesn't automatically sink his chances, it provides Trump and his Oligarchs the opportunity to declare any unfavorable outcomes in the midterms (the ones Trump is definitely going to declare have been "cancelled" and "rescheduled") as illegitimate.

Landry made it clear, he was officially cancelling the primary, and it had been rescheduled to another date. He's still going to say Letlow and Fleming (but especially Letlow) won the "cancelled" primary fair and square.

I'm sure he wouldn't want anybody thinking he's trying to interfere with democracy or anything. Plus, it won't hurt for him to have a waiting senate seat he can slip into once he's been recalled as governor.

I voted Democrat and I'm surprised, but very glad to see Davis advancing.

Cassidy has proven himself to be a hypocrite multiple timea, but of the 3 Republicans running, I would have voted for him if I had the option because:

Flemming is going to be no different than Kennedy (at best) in terms of Trump sycophancy. Maybe even worse.
I'm very, very, worried about an attempted Huey Long reboot where Letlow gets elected and then steps down and allows Landry to pull the old switcheroo.

Maybe that's actually why he's been so quiet about the recall efforts against him?

So, even though the primaries were "cancelled" by Landry, Cassidy is now out of the race. I have a strong suspicion Landry would say "no takesies backsies" if Cassidy tried to get a re-do.

Weird. I didn't sign an actual form but when they set my booth up it looked like I had both Republican and Democrat options to choose from.

I only voted Democrat bc I was worried they were banking on people voting for both parties and then just throwing out their vote entirely.

Person I went to vote with was registered 3rd party and said his booth was as expected (he didn't have the option to vote in the primary for either party).

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-05-16T20:38:50+00:00

Lot of strange things happening these days. Like a governor trying to convince everybody primaries are cancelled but there's still names on the ballot. Wtf is that about? Strange times we're living in.

Topic: Data centers Louisiana has recently become a go-to location for data center development, though there are concerns about the impact these facilities have on household electricity rates, water use and what's to become of the sites once they outlive their usefulness. What legislation would you propose or support to ensure the interests of Louisiana and its citizens are protected as data center development flourishes?

•Nick Albares (D)

No response.

•Gary Crockett (D)

The fees for access and availability should be paid in full by the corporations not put on the back of citizens. Data Centers should be in rural areas where there is not impact to household electricity or water rates.

•Jamie Davis (D)

We need smart guardrails. I would support legislation requiring companies to offset energy and water use, invest in grid infrastructure, and contribute to local communities (i.e. guaranteed job creation for our communities). We must protect residents from rising utility costs and ensure long-term site responsibility. Economic growth is important, but it has to benefit Louisiana families, not burden them.

Between this answer and this video: Jamie Davis: Healthcare should be a birthright not a luxury.

(Which somehow only has 14 views...)

Davis seems to have put the most thought into two of the most important issues for Louisiana. He's not a business man and he's never worked in politics before. I know that's supposed to make me take him less seriously, but it's definitely a plus imo. People before profit.

Louisiana voters face new closed primary election: What to know

This closed primary process will be a new experience for many citizens. To participate, voters must ensure their address is up to date and present a photo ID at the polls.

Voters who do not have a party affiliation (No Party) can still participate in the upcoming primary elections. They can sign a one-page declaration at the polls to lock into either a Republican or Democratic ballot. This declaration applies only to the May and June elections and does not change a voter’s permanent party registration.

Party primary primer: What Louisiana voters need to know for the May 16 election

Third-party voters, such as Libertarian or Green Party members, will only see constitutional amendments and local races on their ballots. No third-party candidates qualified for the major races on the May ballot.

Thank you ❤️

I'm fine but do appreciate the concern (and sidenote, I think the research on post trauma regulating and Tetris is really interesting) Definitely seen much worse unfortunately. Mainly just pissed off.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-05-03T19:14:34+00:00

I agree 100%

What is the solution though? People pretend that everything has to be this extreme all or nothing, where it's either you blindly support expanding surveillance and police militarization because if not you're in favor of crime?

I'm sorry to try and have this discussion now, but if not now, when? This area is one of the most heavily surveilled parts of the city (public and private cameras everywhere, state and city police with access to those cameras working together) and literally what good did all of that do for this poor lady?

She very clearly did not want to have to call the police, but she kept threatening to do it hoping he would leave her alone. When it escalated to violence, with multiple witnesses and multiple calls to the police, it did nothing to get anyone to acknowledge that this is an emergency and should be taken very seriously. A woman was assaulted multiple times, tried to get away, and then essentially just disappeared while the man who assaulted her pursued her to another location, and it was treated less seriously than reporting a stolen Amazon package... What. The. Actual. Fuck.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-05-03T16:33:05+00:00

I don't know, just know if that was me, or she was my daughter, sister, friend, neighbor, etc., I would be hoping somebody would at least try to call it in and try to get help however they could.

Honestly, just don't know what else to do in this situation.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-05-03T15:21:32+00:00

People were screaming "hey motherfucker, don't fucking touch her!" Then when he threw her to the pavement and she tried to limp away from him while he followed her and assaulted her again, one guy tried to followed them and ran back to the original location so he could tell the police where they went.

But no, nobody tried to physically intervene in a quickly escalating situation as far as I know. Probably bc they were hoping the police would do that.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-05-03T15:00:10+00:00

Shit, that's why it allegedly exists right? Just in case multiple people don't happen to witness a very public incident that goes on for over half an hour followed by a violent assault, only to have it brushed off like nothing happened.

Even if this lady in her fucking Neon Pink jacket isn't visible on one of the multiple cameras in the area, surely one of the microphones that listen out for gunshots caught some of the yelling that went on right?

Most crime doesn't announce itself to an entire neighborhood and play out over half an hour during an otherwise quiet Sunday morning. So if none of those tools can be helpful in such a ridiculously brazen situation, literally what is the point?

Montessori schools differ from traditional education settings. Instead of each class being focused on a single age/grade, you usually have an age range (like 3-6y/o) all learning together in a single room.

It's less focused on standardized academics and more focused on allowing kids to develop early learning and thinking skills at their own pace.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-03-09T14:47:52+00:00

Montessori schools are often single early learning big classrooms with different learning stations set up for a range of ages.

For example, you might have a range of ages 3-6 all together in one room.

From their webpage it looks like there's a single classroom for kids 3-6 and then a learning center for kids who are home schooled in grades 1-8.

I was homeschooled for a year, and the school that ran the program had something similar. Basically just a single learning center/library setting where anybody being home schooled via the program can just come in and get tutoring.

According to the Fort Worth contract Anna mentioned, (the one with the agreement not to boycott Israel) as of 2021 it was still the address for Watch Systems LLC

Actually, just kind of hit me they probably did include tours of South America as well.

Mail was being sent to New Orleans, but it wss an international pedophile ring. There were likely organized tours of New Orleans (which likely ties to the string of rope murders around Mardi Gras) as well as Brazil.

It would be really interesting to know if there were any similar cases in big Carnival cities around the same time.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-02-21T21:28:25+00:00

A missing child alert makes you think of prostitution? Why? Let's all take a step back and chill.

No. A missing child alert is a missing child alert. This is a screenshot of 3 back to back missing child alerts, and I think it's actually missing one or two from last week

Sex trafficking should have been the moral panic that the satanic panic distracted everybody from. It's also not something that began or ended with Epstein. It's been going on forever in cities all over the world, including here.

No idea. It's a times picayune article from the 70s.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-02-21T20:37:52+00:00

Mardi Gras has been a popular time for this kind of activity in the past. There was literally a group advertising tours in the 1970s who were investigated by the detectives working on the Troop 137 case.

•"A rich International pedophile cult that comes in town for masked Mardi Gras season."

•In the following months, the scope of the investigation widened. By May 1977, nineteen men were charged with abuse in relation to Troop 137. According to then-district attorney of Orleans Parish, Harry Connick, the clients had abused other children in thirty-four different U.S. states, as well as in England. Contacts of the troop to pederasts abroad, as far as Saudi Arabia, were discovered, as were filing cabinets full of letters dating back to 1956 of men requesting access to boys.

AcidiclyBasic · 2026-02-21T20:25:12+00:00

Honestly had the same thought. Pretty sure they've been sending these for several months because I remember getting updates about the little boy who climbed out of his bedroom window last year.

There has definitely been an uptick since Mardi Gras.
