"When the end of the world comes, I want to be in Mississippi because it's always 50 years behind." Native born/raised Mississippian. I suffer not trolls nor fools, gladly or otherwise.

@warondumb.bsky.social Said it before but, as much as I rail against "malleable principles" Roger Wicker & "Trump cheerleader/professional Christian hypocrite/Confederate apologist" Cindy Hyde-Smith, this native Mississippian is grateful for not having America's Dumbest US Senator representing MS.

If local law enforcement is arresting people for pregnancy loss or self-managed abortion, members of that community have a compelling need to know. But why would they need to know their name, or what they look like? The public safety threat is the cops, not the people in handcuffs @autonomynews.co

Journalists Need to Stop Treating Pregnancy Criminalization Like Tabloid Fodder

Just told my 10 yr old daughter about Jeanine Pirro. She had tears in her eyes. And then she did the Wakanda pose and said "#Franziakanda Forever"—which is the kind of pop culture crossover event I can celebrate.

corruption is going to be endemic to any economic system and any government, because it’s not about either of those, it’s about *people* and what we are and who we are and what we are willing to do and what we are not willing to do to enforce behavioral, legal and moral standards amongst ourselves

That's what taxes are, man. That's the definition of taxes. "You are subsidizing things you might never use" man shut the fuck up. My taxes currently subsidize like oil company exec private jets, you think I'm upset at low-income people eating inexpensive bananas?
