Are you not familiar with Phil Oachs? I wasn't until Lady Gaga sang The War is Over in 2016.

He describes exactly what kind of an injust klan infested stuck in time racist hell hole Mississippi is.

Why would you infer this as being anti Black? I did not say anything about Sen. Scott Colon. Of course we will dunk on anyone who does support horrific things.

We dunk on war criminal Deporter in Chief obama-drone part-of-history

You asked when was the last time Mississppi was talked about on this site. I felt that we do post when injustices like what Phil Oachs sang about made the news. There is a search function. .

    Two police officers were reportedly hurt and a dog was shot after an incident Monday night in Detroit.

    The Detroit News reports officers responded to a home on the northwest side of the city around 8:40 p.m. Monday. When the woman who requested help exited the home, her pet broke free from its leash and charged toward the officers.

    There were three officers on scene. One of them was bitten by the dog and a second officer was struck in the leg by one of the gunshots.

    The two officers were treated at a hospital and listed in stable condition.

    Police did not confirm whether the dog was shot or in what condition it is in.

    US charges three 'Iranian operatives' over RAF Fairford terror plot

    made-it-the-fuck-up And it was all plotted by a guy that's been in jail since May.

    • A US charging document states that Al-Hassani, a 35-year-old Iraqi national, directed unnamed individuals to drive to the base in the vans, some of which contained barrels of fuel.

    • It claims that he earlier paid the group to buy metallic objects that could be used as shrapnel, and to disguise the vehicles as being engaged in fuel delivery services. 

    • Al-Saadi, 32, a dual Iranian-Iraqi national already jailed in New York on terrorism charges, allegedly passed coded messages to Al-Hassani and Mohajeri, 48, an Iranian national, to coordinate ahead of the plot.

    The Bahraini regime is set to sentence 60 Shia clerics, who could be given the death penalty, in a move that has been widely condemned by human rights groups. Manama is ruled by a U.S.-backed Sunni Monarchy, which regularly cracks down upon its Shia majority population.

    A grassroots revolution just broke through in Hawaii and it is reshaping what is possible for our movement nationwide.

    Pāʻele Kiakona didn't just run; he shattered the status quo and won Hawaii House District 14! Kiakona was raised in Lahaina taro patches and majored in environmental studies. He became a leader in the Lahaina Strong initiative after the 2023 wildfire, camping on Kāʻanapali Beach for almost six months, taking a stand for long-term housing for displaced fire survivors. Pāʻele Kiakona’s election victory demonstrates that when you show up for your community, your community will show up for you

    🎶Go find yourself another country to be part of 🎵

    And here's to the government of Mississippi In the swamp of their bureaucracy they're always bogging down And criminals are posing as the mayors of the towns And they hope that no one sees the sights and no one hears the sounds And the speeches of the governor are the ravings of a clown

     

    There is a cynical bill / plan going around called Medicare for America which is NOT Medicare for All.

    It is a poison pill designed to offset elderly and sick people to a Public Option (socialize losses) , while keeping the healthy and young in the private system (privatize gains). It is designed to bankrupt the public option, make more profits and destroy the notion of what would truly be a single payer for all system.

    El-Sayed lost Jewish support over Israel, antisemitism, but got over 50% of Jewish votes - report ...

    Jewish voters make up approximately 1.4% of Michigan and typically show substantial support for the Democrats, Politico added. The divisive issue of support for Israel and concerns regarding rising antisemitism have shaken Jewish voters.

    A majority of Jewish early voters still supported El-Sayed, Politico found, but about 25% of those who supported the previous Democratic candidate in 2024 had switched to Mike Rogers over El-Sayed.

    Zio-WimpLo zionist-despair Even though he still had the large majority of Jewish votes, Hard core Zionazis cost him 0.35% of the vote making isntrael the real winner.
