Was it necessary to point out that senator warren is on the right? Y’all be honest with me do I look like a lady senator from the back???

@angiecthomas omg!! I’m that student! I read The Hate U Give as a freshman at UM, and it’s been one of my favorite books ever since. Your writing has influenced me so much

[wesley @Wormeronie]

Oh! I wrote this column over two years ago, and I’m thrilled people are reading it.

We still owe Black people their money, yall.

[Leo Carney @chefcarney]

“We owe black Mississippians reparations for the historic and contemporary racism our state has put them through. Even if you had no part in the hurt caused, you do have a responsibility to help carry the consequences.”

If this pisses you off, you can usually donate money or time to your local library!! Your library system has a board, consider running for a spot!!

Let this remind you that most of us should focus our political energy on the local level!!

A couple years ago I interviewed a dozen librarians in and around jxn for my undergrad thesis.

I have some thoughts:

[Nick Judin @nickjudin]

BREAKING: Ridgeland Mayor Gene McGee is withholding $110,000 in funding from the Madison County Library System, allegedly demanding a full purge of Ridgeland Library's LGBTQ+ books before funding it.

The board's counsel says he is acting outside the law. https://t.co/YfvjHwCy5I

[wesley @Wormeronie]

My heart breaks for queer ppl and ppl who rely on the library in Ridgeland. The mayor is demanding that the library go against one of its most deeply held values or forego much needed funding. How horrific!

[wesley @Wormeronie]

Please consider donating to help Mkayla’s family pay for funeral expenses. Her mom’s Cashapp is $MykelRobinson

if you don’t have Cashapp, my Venmo is @ wesley-craft, and I will pass the money along

[Ashton Pittman @ashtonpittman]

On Aug. 6, Mkayla Robinson smiled for a photo with her arm around her little brother, both wearing backpacks.

It was her first day of 8th grade & his of kindergarten—in a mask-optional school district.

8 days later, Mkayla, 13, died with COVID-19.

BREAKING: An 8th grade Mississippi girl died this morning hours after testing positive for COVID-19. She attended classes throughout the week at a school that began with no mask mandate.

Yesterday, Gov. Tate Reeves downplayed the danger to schoolchildren. https://t.co/Hd3o0U6Di0

Hard to find a purer distillation of evil than QAnon people who have spent all day attacking Chrissy Teigen after losing her baby.

[Zito @_Zeets]

Southern leftists must hate politics on Twitter. You get no help and get blamed for everything, even though you suffer the most under evil politicians and everyone is well aware how the right has gamed the system.

Nobody is appropriately gauging how quickly QAnon (and Q by other names) has taken over among suburban and rural white women. It is everywhere.

[wesley @Wormeronie]

Many will read this and think Mississippians are selfish idiots (many are)

But my guess is that this mostly has to do with UI benefits. We have the most ppl living in poverty who can now buy basic needs, maybe for the first time ever.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

But there are dramatic differences among states.

In Mississippi, activity is now 17% higher than what it was a year ago.

In Massachusetts, a state that has moved cautiously, business visits overall are down 31%. https://t.co/pMCe417gId
