Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

A rare win in Florida:
Legislation (SB 814) that would allow guns to be carried on college campuses was voted down by the Senate Criminal Justice Committee in a rare out-in-the-open committee rejection of a majority party bill. The bill was sponsored by Randy Fine.

Thank you for common sense!

People in #Miami are waking up and speaking out.

At its peak today, organizers estimated over a thousand attendees, who also learned about local community organizations and how to get involved as a volunteer.

This movement is growing— and it belongs to all of us.
