   We are shocked that Facebook would censor the king cake baby, one of the quintessential traditions of the Mardi Gras culture, obviously the folks at Facebook have never tasted the sweet deliciousness of a traditional or filled King Cake. If they had, they would understand the deep passion that runs in Louisiana for king cakes of all varieties, and the little babies that live inside them.

   We are happy to see the people of New Orleans finally able to return to normal and enjoy the Mardi Gras season, that is exactly what we have been advocating for.We are furious to see our so-called city leaders violating their own mask mandate all through the carnival season while demanding that ordinary citizens and children remain masked. The hypocrisy and privilege will no longer be tolerated. The silence from our state legislature is deafening. We see you, and we are coming for you.
