The lesson repeats until it is learned, and the lesson gets harder each time.
Miss Simmons (@mssmmns.bsky.social) reply parent
Some lessons have to be learned the hard way. It will take more people to get sick or die because of this administration's neglect and gross incompetence before the rest of the people get it. In the meantime, let us look out for one another and protect ourselves.

There's money; where the ppl at the top choose to spend it and which industries get to come to MS to play ball is the issue. The #1 state lobby after Agri is Real Estate. The same ppl who run Agri own the land. It's old plantation money. And the feds subsidize them. They ain't giving that up.

The incessant desire to attract voters who haven't voted Democrat in 60 years is what always hurts the base of the Democratic Party. The cowardice shown in this post makes it clear that Tom Nichols and his ilk would do now what the GOP did to freedmen in 1875 and 1877.

Their incessant need to want to attract voters who haven't voted for Democrat in 60 years is what always hurts the base of the Democratic Party. This party of moderates will do to its base what the GOP did to freedmen in 1875 and 1877.

It's not poor. It never was. The people in power lock out competition and continue to employ people at depressed wages and those with land and property stay because the people in power will take it.
Miss Simmons (@mssmmns.bsky.social) reply parent
It's not poor. The people who have been in control of that state for the last 200 years consolidate their social, financial, and political power, and as long as they have what they want, they don't care about anyone else.

Quitting is absolutely an option. Why in hell would I want to live in a place that has shown me century after century that it doesn't want me here other than to oppress me? No. Nope. There are other places that Black people can go and find rest. Not just survive, but THRIVE.

And she's a little too gentle, IMO. And Ritchie Torres is a feckless coward for sitting there and not stopping Jillian Michaels in her tracks. He represents a district in the most diverse city in the country. A huge disappointment he is.

All of this. I'm tired. The US doesn't deserve us. I often wonder if the solution is to stop trying to save the US from itself. It doesn't want to be saved. Perhaps it should crash and burn so that something new can emerge from the wreckage. If only they would just leave us alone.

One half of me is hurt, angry, and fighting mad. The other half of me looks at history and wonders why anyone of African descent would want to remain in this country when it has shown us over and over that it is inhospitable and outright dangerous.

I hope that the DNC spends money in red states for the next 15 months, because they certainly didn't invest enough in Louisiana or Arkansas. I also hope that the people of Kentucky make better choices this time.

I don't put it past this administration to call Martial Law in time to pause federal elections. He's going to try to bait Black people out into the streets with unlimited immunity and cutting off funding to HBCUS. The rest will be outraged over Project Esther. Buckle up.

We'd have to get to November 2026 elections to make that happen, and I don't trust that we'll get there.

We did that. Those of us in red states are being gerrymandered. Entire city boards and school boards are voting to keep themselves in power. We vote, and then what? Black activists are having so secure private security because yt supremacist groups are threatening them.

We are inundated with every single horror this man and his administration commit. Being constant state of panic to the point where our central nervous systems are in overdrive isn't healthy. Scholars, attorneys, politicians, activists, journalists: Tell us how you want us to move.

Now that this BS Bill is law, I'm more disgusted at Schumer's failure this spring to let the GOP take responsibility for shutting down Medicaid so that the public could see how big of a failure MAGA policy is.

Contracting firms are offering $10k-20k less than the market value AND not offering health insurance or parking benefits. A lot of people are going to be hurt by this BS Bill that passed last week. It's going to be ugly. I mean 2008-2010 ugly. Get ready.

For all of his issues, Hogg may have been right about this one: it's time for Clyburn to go. Not because of his age, but because we have moved on from Clinton-era policies that in hindsight, were adversarial to Black communities, especially re: criminal justice.

It's up to the people. March, but there must be a call to action: relentless phone calls, emails, and letters to all House and Senate members. Every day. Pressure the GOP and demand that Dem reps and senators vote against all Trump nominees.

March, but wake up Monday morning committed to flooding GOP House and Senate members with emails, phone calls, and letters. Pressure House and Senate Democrats to refuse to vote for ANY executive appointments or GOP legislation. Do not let up.

Let's wake up Monday morning committed to flooding GOP House and Senate members with emails, calls, and letters. Don't let up. They are the weakest links, and the pressure should be on them. We should also pressure House and Senate Dems to vote against ANY executive appointments or GOP legislation.

In short, the answer to "What can we do?", is to spend the rest of this year with relentless emails, phone calls, requests for visitation, local town hall attendance, and local activism to put pressure on GOP House and Senate members. They are feckless and will bend if we apply pressure.

That's beside my point. My point is people want us to stand up for them, but it's not reciprocated. The gag is these policies affect them, too. They're either uninformed, misinformed, or thirsty for proximity or adjacency to whiteness to recognize.
