notorious radical left communist rag says tax the rich

To hell with this

One thing that gets me is how lectury AI cheerleaders get toward others with less enthusiasm for it. Seeing more of that.

One of my favorites of social media.

BREAKING: The Department of Education has ended its directive that attempted to restrict diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts in schools nationwide. This is a victory for academic freedom and education equity.

Also, keep talking about Epstein files and victims.

This. Is. Nuts.

If so, this should surprise no one. I mean, efforts to cover/squelch both movements had Mossad involved.

Every state is Mississippi now.

What? We have one reporter up there daily. This is weird. Is it because it’s a “women’s bill”?

NEW: Providers who mail abortion pills to Mississippi could soon be prosecuted as felony drug traffickers under an amendment Mississippi House Republicans added to a drug trafficking bill at the last minute. The amended bill passed amid loud dissent from outraged Democrats.

I’m a journalism entrepreneur, but not one obsessed with killing “competition.” I believe in studying + visioning ways to fill gaps in local information and news ecosystems, then proving the concept and steadily growing the organization and a replicable model. It’s less flashy and more impactful. ⬇️

I was thinking exactly this.

New York State Gov. Kathy Hochul directed flags to be lowered at half-staff Tuesday to honor the life and public service legacy of civil rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4aBdH1I 

“Our flag is red, white, and blue, but our nation is a rainbow—red, yellow, brown, black, and white—and we’re all precious in God’s sight.” ~Rev. Jesse Jackson, 1984. Image: Library of Congress.

It’s not hard to see the quiet moves away from inclusion in so much media right now, not just these types.

ProPublica published children's letters and drawings documenting their sadness and suffering at Dilley. And Dilley staff are now retaliating by confiscating kids' letters and drawings. www.sacurrent.com/news/san-ant...

Seeing guys claim that AI is *already* intelligent and capable of original thought really gives the game away. It’s not about waiting for the technology to miraculously become better, it’s about convincing you it’s something that it’s not

NEW: After he was pardoned by Trump, former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández had his ICE detainer dropped and was whisked away to the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York City. @keribla.bsky.social

The Rev. Jesse Jackson got his start under the tutelage of Martin Luther King Jr. in the 1960s. Here are photos from Jackson's life of activism. www.mississippifreepress.org/photos-jesse...

The media alone was so racist to Jesse Jackson. I’m old enough to remember.

Former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant’s lawsuit against Mississippi Today will reach the Mississippi Supreme Court on Wednesday, as justices consider his allegations that the publication defamed him by suggesting he was involved in a massive welfare scandal that directed millions to sports stars.

Word of the year: slop

Don’t forget these political assassinations

Millions of files related to Jeffrey Epstein suggest the existence of a 'global criminal enterprise' that carried out acts meeting the legal threshold of crimes against humanity, a panel of independent experts appointed by the UN Human Rights Council says reut.rs/4rpxDfl

The FBI has not released all the evidence it has on this victim or her allegations against Trump. Her story was credible enough to be used to sue Epstein successfully and help convict Ghislaine Maxwell. Why can't the world see an unredacted 302 report?

Last call: I'm looking to speak with Mississippi voters who have had trouble voting due to unexpected polling place changes or due to errors with the polling place locator sending them to the wrong location on Election Day.

RIP to Jesse Jackson, who in this debate w/David Duke in 1977 delivered (until the host cut him off) a message of unity and against "national isolationism" that's important to hear today. He also ended the show w/one of the sickest burns ever directed at Duke: "You're not even a legitimate Klansman"

I. AM. SOMEBODY. ✊🏽 Rest in Power, Reverend Jesse Jackson. youtu.be/NTVwT3j_zqY?...

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is

Most people sound like this if you transcribe every uh, um and like. I know this because it's how interviews with sources look when I run them through a transcription tool. But most journalists clean it up. We don't quote people like this.

An investigation by Floodlight News shows xAI's gas plant in Southaven, Mississippi, is still burning gas despite a recent Environmental Protection Agency ruling reiterating that doing so requires a state permit in advance. www.mississippifreepress.org/a-different-...

Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre: “I was trafficked to a lot of types of different men — billionaires, royalty… he used me as a form of blackmail so these people would owe him favors.”

🚨

Now THIS is a headline. Saving to read.

Thought it was only me.

This.

Good young journalists out there dodging bad-editor bullets with this one. Let’s just say I’m the opposite. I teach promising journalists to write their damn faces off.

This column reads like regurgitated AI slop. See. Spot. Run. P.S. They have time to write.

We sure don’t allow AI slop—and it shows in our fantastic reporting and writing. Follow @mississippifreepress.org and other real journalism on this list.

NUTS thing to say

For nearly a year, the administration has said that DOGE had no unauthorized access to your Social Security data. A new government filing admits that was false.

I’m sure doing this during Black History Month is completely inadvertent.
