Mississippi Students No Longer Required to Pass U.S. History Assessment to Graduate

In a move that should surprise nobody, you do not have to know our nation’s history to get out of high school in Mississippi.

Yes, there is a place for jokes here, but the important thing to consider here is that, unlike Oklahoma outright lying about our history, or Louisiana mandating a Ten Commandments statue in the middle of a walkway, Mississippi just gave up and pocketed the money they’d have to spend.

Which, if not admirable, is as least fiscally conscious I guess?

‘Panic industry’ surges as more Americans fortify their homes to prepare for the worst

Change is coming to America. Demographics, hopefully economic. Religion is losing popularity as it embraces pedophiles and damns people for just being their true selves.

Middle America is responding…by turning their houses into fortresses.

Yeah, that’s right. We “can’t afford DEI or free school lunches, but a panic room is TOTALLY on the budget now that womens and mud people are having a say.

This Week: Visas and Comic-Cons

A lot of folks overseas are afraid to come here now.

Let’s say it more clearly: citizens of other nations are fearful of what will happen when/if they come to visit the United States of America.

If you are fine with that sentence, you are a really shitty person and horrible at being an American citizen.

This starts with folks wondering if they want to come to cosplay at a convention. But in coming years we have the Olympics and the World Cup. Folks see how ICE and the FBI and police treat our citizens and have every right to be afraid. They see white nationalists in power and emboldened and pardoned by those in power.

Why would anyone come here to visit?

It’s Time to Start a Real Nationwide Resistance Movement

A few months have passed since this post, and other than organizing protests, I don’t see much action.

Where is a general strike? A concerted effort to list companies siding with Trump? Finding out who is building the camps, supporting ICE efforts? They are staying in hotels, eating at restaurants, driving rental vehicles. Name and shame and cut the spigot of cash heading to these organizations.

Getting folks together to speak out is fine. But if there is no cost, then what’s the point? Right now our police in Minnesota are, I guess, looking for a cosplay cop assassin. Considering they actually got into a shootout with them, he shouldn’t be that hard to find, right?

I mean, if it was a minority kid with a water pistol, he wouldn’t have gotten more than a block before they shot him dead.
