Karen Bass isn’t the only mayor facing revenue problems. (Bloomberg Opinion) -- The mayors of many of America’s largest cities are worried.

I'm sure this will make more heads 🤯 on the political right. But as someone with Creole roots, this is fascinating. "Robert Francis Prevost, the Chicago-born cardinal selected as the new pope, is descended from Creole people of color from New Orleans." https://t.co/0Fp3dEVyfp
