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.

Judged on sales, the Cybertruck is worse than Fords notorious automotive failure - the Edsel. Ford hoped to sell 200,000 Edsels a year, but managed just 63,000. Tesla predicted 250,000 Cybertruck sales per year but sold less than 40,000 in its first full year.

Elon Musk’s Epic Cybertruck Fail
Elon Musk’s polygonal pickup is a polarizing sales flop that's missed the billionaire’s volume goal by a staggering 84%. And there’s no sign that things are improving.

Trump's 3/27 executive order targets the Smithsonian for advancing "the view that race is not a biological reality but a social construct."
Trump argues that the exhibit's statement, below, is unscientific. He's wrong. As a biology professor and population geneticist, I agree with every word of it.

Biodiversity loss in all species and every ecosystem linked to humans – report

The exhaustive global analysis leaves no doubt about the devastating impact humans are having on Earth, according to researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology (Eawag) and the University of Zurich. The study – which accounted for nearly 100,000 sites across all continents – found that human activities had resulted in “unprecedented effects on biodiversity”, according to the paper, published in Nature.

Being snatched off the street for your opinions. I'll say it again. We are deciding, right now, whether the aspirations we hold for this country are finished. Whether we're going to let these hoodlums and grifters throw what's left of the American idea into the garbage for their own profit and gain.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.”
The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

Former Social Security Commissioner, Martin O'Malley, has been sounding the alarm that there are 2.7 trillion dollars in the social security fund. Trump and Musk want to steal it plain and simple our money.

There is no point in Senate Democrats voting to fund the government only to let Trump and Musk do whatever they see fit with those funds.
Dems should only vote for a continuing resolution if it stops DOGE pillaging and fully funds services.
