Every generation has talented people, artists who break barriers and create their own brand of music that inspires! #NowPlaying "Sexuality" by Prince on @Sonos.
For me, Prince made me think outside the box. I love that he wasn't afraid to be himself. I have my original album.
Hope young people have artists that allow them to do the same. Btw, did Prince ever go to The Met Gala? I need to see that outfit! This song is my clapback to prudes & Republicans trying to regulate everyone else's sex life bc they ain't getting none.
🎼Prince Scream Ow woo🎼
🎼I'm okay as long as you are here with me
Sexuality is all we ever need🎶
Reproduction of a new breed, leaders, stand up, organize.🎶🎶🎶
Don't let your children watch television until they know how to read
Or else all they'll know how to do is cuss, fight and breed!🎶🎶🎶

Mississippians, please don't dismiss Brandon Presley because he is not frat-boy savvy.
Presley has a proven service record and has more integrity than the entire MSGOP.
I see US expecting him to be perfect and polished. Let's not 2016 ourselves by eating one another
and letting the snake back in our house.
Reeves is inept, divisive and caters to his rich constituents.
Mississippi is dying on his watch. He's a ruler not a governor of the people. He's a chaos agent and no work is getting done. Meanwhile, he distracts, deflects and denies!
And young people are leaving the state, hospitals are closing, we can't attract decent jobs bc our education is poor. The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Tate out here saying the liberals are coming while we can't find federal money meant for the poor.

It didn’t matter that she spent the last years of her life mostly in hiding, or that she had terminal cancer. The only thing that would end the pursuit of her was her death. yazooherald.net/editorials-opi…

Still, that did not end the hounding to which Donham was subjected for the last decades of her life.
Me: imagine defending a complicit murderer who lived a full life and suggesting those who wanted justice, were out of character. This is what we mean when we say it's interpersonal, with generational white privilege.
Lawmakers were wrong to call critical race theory “Marxist,” she learned, because the framework was actually a rejection of legal theories that had centered class and sidelined race. mississippitoday.org/2022/02/02/mis…
They also learned about “interest convergence,” a core tenet of critical race theory that argues communities of color only achieve progress when white communities also benefit.
Interest convergence, Jones said, helped her better understand why the Mississippi Legislature voted to change the state flag in 2020 — because “they were about to lose a lot of money with the NCAA.”
President Jimmy Carter is an icon, activist, warrior, humanitarian and a true example of the qualities of historical Jesus.
I praise God for President Carter and pray for him and his family.
I was 10 years old in 1978 when he was President.
I remembered gas prices were high and people were blaming him.
We didn't own a car.
I overheard adults talking, saying things like: they treat him like they treat Black people.
It stayed with me that our church had a picture of him with Coretta Scott King
and said he was truly doing God's will and he wasn't afraid.
It also stayed with me that doing right and having the power to do right were not necessarily the same thing.
It stayed with me that it was dangerous to go against the system
After viewing the video as well as the autopsy report and the photos, renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden concluded the death was a homicide. “They killed him by piling on top of him,” he said. “He absolutely died from some kind of asphyxia.” mississippitoday.org/2023/03/13/rob…
Since 2000, at least 342 deaths have taken place across the country after police restrained people, according to FatalEncounters.org. Many of those deaths were due to asphyxia.
In some of those deaths, officers used restraints condemned by the U.S. Department of Justice. The agency, along with the International Association of Chiefs of Police, warned officers that keeping restrained people face down increases the risk of death from asphyxia.
Update:
My family had Ian's intake this morning. The Juvenile Court prosecutor is not pursuing a case against him.@PoliceSouthaven lied on my minor child.
Ian did not make the call and NEVER posed a threat to Southaven schools.@darrenmuss
got on this app and defamed my son.
Let me tell about my 17-year-old son. Ian was diagnosed with PDD, Pervasive Developmental Delay when he was 18 months old. A team of 12 doctors tested him for an entire day at @uthsc. I waited six months for the appointment and we came out of pocket with 2k.
Insurance would not cover it.
Ian was non-verbal, socially awkward and ADHD. Doctors told me he may never fully talk or become independent. We started Ian with ABA therapy. Applied Behavioral Analysis. The recommendation at the time was 40 hours a week. We could only afford 20.
