@sravits did you tweet anything about stocks to buy this year, or who'd win the superbowl? — PolitiTweet.org

that protects the culture and history of the city, casts off the generations worth corruption and incompetence and unaccountability and makes all our lives better in a sustainable, meaningful way. that would be a much better legacy than a new city hall or anything else. — PolitiTweet.org

That puts her squarely in a position to influence the direction of the city for decades to come. That is an awesome and unenviable responsibility. She can't fix all of our problems in 4 years — no one could reasonably be expected to. But the mayor CAN put us on a new path — PolitiTweet.org

Given the field of candidates, Cantrell will win another term. we hope she abandons her often authoritarian approach and "this is how it's done" ideas, & instead embraces transparency and people-centered policies. We stand at a crossroads as a result of the pandemic and Ida. — PolitiTweet.org

We have decided to not endorse a candidate for mayor. Our decision was not easy. LaToya Cantrell has done a remarkable job of protecting the city from COVID but on issues from STRs to infrastructure her 1st term has been a disappointment https://t.co/2uMdb9E4FV — PolitiTweet.org

@nicolewdc The whole “SHINY NEW WORD WE CAN USE AS CODE FOR THE ONE WE CANT” impulse is so bananas! If the word “liberty” every becomes associated with a Black person of note Ted Cruz’ head will explode — PolitiTweet.org

is not only played out, it’s wildly offensive to the tens of thousands of people who have been born and raised and lived here. The totality of their existence ain’t the backdrop for our midlife crises/artistic origin stories/cultural colonizer nonsense. — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

Oh for sure! I literally get paid to do this, much to the chagrin of some bamas. ALL New Orleanians have a right to shit talk the city, should the feel the need. BUT the trite “the city itself has a spiritual will to make MY NEWLY ARRIVED ASS FEEL PAIN” thing — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

@gabrielmalor Lolol I’m just sayin! Like “oh yeah traffic is so much more fucked in Glendale” is a fine statement. HOWEVER “In LA we drive nine hours to get to a hot topic 2 miles away for a meet and greet with Paris Hilton you don’t know traffic” was always … a lot. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re born here, or even the general vicinity, and wanna go on, as far as I’m concerned the floor is yours. course, I reserve the right to clown on you mercilessly if you say wack ass nonsense about vaccines or use Teedy in a racist way. But you can still say that dumb shit. — PolitiTweet.org

Yeah sure it’s hard to live in New Orleans sometimes, in ways you may not be familiar with. But this city ain’t tryna get your pretty white ass, no matter how much you wish you were living a rock n roll stereotype. Living in Youngstown is hard as fuck too — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

I’m from the DC urea, and this nonsense is just as bad as hearing transplant New Yorkers bitch about the lack of bagels, Cali bamas PCHsplain “real traffic,” or crackers from general America bitch about the “lack of culture” while surrounded by gogo & livin off of black Broadway — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

As a non-native New Orleanian, I feel like we need an ordinance banning “let me tell you what New Orleans has taught me/New Orleans tests you and tries to kill you when you move here” utterances by transplants. Call it the “House of the Rising Cliche Prohibition Act.” — PolitiTweet.org
