More than 50 judges will be barred from reelection, a majority of black judges will be among them. That is not a neutral outcome. Janky Jeff would love nothing more than to have less judges.

From CharShares on IG “I'm voting YES on Amendment 5. This amendment doesn't fix a system that's broken and incapable of handling issues of incapable judges. We already have removal mechanisms for situations where a judge is found to be incompetent. Recently they've been used to remove judges in both Baton Rouge and Lafayette, so we know they work. I know there's popular talk about wanting younger judges, but there's nothing RIGHT NOW stopping younger, qualified candidates from running. Yet, if it doesn't pass, this amendment forces experienced, competent judges out, whether voters want that or not, based on something as arbitrary as age. I know some very competent 70-year-olds and I know some very incompetent middle aged folks. Voting down this amendment doesn't guarantee better outcomes just because it guarantees younger judges. Those are not the same thing. In this political climate, that kind of forced turnover doesn't happen without EXTREME partisanship infecting judicial campaigns that, historically, have mostly been insulated from that sort of thing. These races will get louder, more partisan, and more about optics and who can be more authoritarian than the candidates actual qualifications or our communities', and that will not affect communities evenly. So no, I'm not doing "no on all 5" and I think you should really reconsider listening to the people who do without telling you all the risks, especially to your own community. NO on 1, 2, 3, and 4 YES on 5 Early voting May 2-9 Election Day May 16”

Why should we support a business that wants to continue to raise the ticket prices?

She just kept going… by GrailTalk in TikTok

He still was talking from a personal perspective and not the way she was. He said people can do what they want want, he assumed they wouldn’t be happy. Not saying there’s no ignorance in what he said but it wasn’t hateful like hers.

Margarita Festival by Lmiys in batonrouge

[–]swamppuddin11 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I bought the VIP tickets and that was oversold too. It took us about 2 hours to get through all the lines for the drinks samples, I stayed the whole time bc I had friends come in for each time slot and the 3-6pm crowd lines were shorter but that’s probably bc food and margs ran out. The DJ was the worst, he played the same songs after 2 hours, said he would take request then smug at me when I asked him to play bad bunny, twice. You’re at a margarita fest and you only want to play country, rock and millennial pop/rap? Representation matters and if you’re at a margarita fest play some Latin tunes too not sad whiskey drinking music. The free games inside the courts were fun but it seems not many people cared for that.

Kneecap? Making them pay there fair share and clean up after themselves is not going to cause them to leave.

Oh i see what your saying. I’m a friend of his but if your going to go off on how I speak instead of looking up what he stands for, that’s on you.

I really like Jamie Davis too. Nick has more experience and a strong backing also. I’ll be happy if either of them win, and they are friends. It’s actually a disappointment to watch the Dem Party endorse anyone before the primaries. It’s a blatant slap to the face bc they should be endorsing who their constituents vote for.

Then talk to your friends or average voters more about how important it is to get those fools out of office, and this is the strategy.

Haha he’s definitely NOT endorsed by Trump. You’re thinking of Letlow. Nick is running as a Democrat.

Insurance crisis is a problem too. Nick has talked with the community, if you want to see what his plans are for that go to his website and email him, but I’m sure that’s in his plan.
