Well, now that she’s made it official, I need to say something.
This woman is wrecking the state of Arkansas. There was some business about a lectern, but that is not what I am here to discuss. Feel free to look that up on your own, though; it’s probably a fun rabbit to chase.
No, my main point against Sarah Huckabee Sanders getting a second term has to do with a prison. On October 31, 2024, Governor Sanders announced that land had been purchased to build a large prison on in Franklin County. The aim is for this prison, with a capacity of about 3,000 beds, to solve a shortage of said beds in Arkansas.
Franklin County, I should mention, is a very rural county. Small towns are there. It’s farmland, ranch land. These people vote Republican by a very firm margin. There are not a lot of people who live here; those that do are, to put it politely, VERY angry about this announcement. They have organized to protest this prison. If you follow me closely enough you’ll see that I sometimes comment #MoveThePrison under the governor’s posts. I’m helping them out as best I can.
This whole debacle has only worsened with time. Aside from local officials having essentially no advance notice of the project, the Sanders administration has given the Franklin County residents the cold shoulder, refused to fulfill FOIA requests (something that has apparently been a problem in the past), and tried to smear Franklin County residents as low-IQ bumpkins or left-wing radicals.
To support Franklin County, I here submit several links where the situation is laid out far better than I could by people who have lived their whole lives there and have more to lose, whose accounts I have linked to as well. Go hear them out, and spread the word, please. Sanders has lost the trust of the people, and thus does not deserve a second term.

First ad to kick off my re-elect!
Arkansas is ranked #1 for lowest cost of living, #1 for economic growth, and the #1 state Americans are moving to.
We are not just moving in the right direction we are charging boldly ahead!
@sjeqthfc_fan@jtimsuggs There’s a meme that posits that speak backwards, Yoda does because he likes to mess with people.
Since Yaddle talks like a normal person, I’m starting to think that that meme was actually correct.
@Hotreloaded1 Sheldon SHOULD have said “I can’t wait to meet them”. Them is also gender-neutral and has the added bonus of not removing the personhood of Penny’s kid.
DS9 is a show that I view as a complement to TNG. TNG has all the hope and optimism of the future age in which it is set.
DS9 has those too, but it also asks “hey, what about these problems? How do we solve them?”
It doesn’t reject the hope and optimism. Indeed, without those the show doesn’t answer the problems it finds. But it doesn’t reject the premise nor lay waste to Trek lore as it goes.
