The Mississippi GOP's main project has been to roll back the civil rights movement, starting with the re-segregation of public schools. ProPublica identified 20 segregation academies in Mississippi that received almost $10 mn over 6 years from state coffers.
Segregation Academies in Mississippi Are Benefiting From Public Dollars, as They Did in the 1960s
ProPublica identified 20 schools in the state that likely opened as segregation academies and have received almost $10 million over the past six years from the state’s tax credit donation program.

The Supreme Court has decided that the most important identifier at border crossings is whether as an American you had a penis or a vagina at birth.
You can change, the name listed, you can change appearance with a new photo, but they insist that you must reveal your genitals to travel abroad.

Unforgivably disingenuous.
“Displaying passport holders’ sex at birth no more offends equal protection principles than displaying their country of birth — in both cases, the Government is merely attesting to a historical fact without subjecting anyone to differential treatment,” the majority wrote.”

During circle time today, my daughter's class processed seeing a man get detained by ICE outside of their school.
Last week ICE pulled guns outside of my 7 y.o school. Today, it was outside of my 10 y.o's school.
Repubs want us to fear adults in drag around kids, I'm afraid of ICE agents in masks.

I’m tired of watching hardworking folks beg for the basics while billionaires keep cashing in.
Being able to put food on your table should never be a luxury.
You can’t call yourself pro-life while letting families go hungry.
You can’t shout “America First” while putting Americans last.
