Spies of Mississippi (2014) ⭐ 7.3 | Documentary 53m | TV-PG

I know Black History Month has ended, but this proposed Florida political surveillance apparatus wouldn’t be β€œa national first CIA structure at the state level.” The Mississippi State Sovereignty Commission preceded it @seth-stern.bsky.social @laurenleharper.bsky.social www.imdb.com/title/tt2691...

Florida wants its own CIA. That could lead to unchecked domestic surveillance | Seth Stern, Lauren Harper and Bobby Block A bill to create a state intelligence operation would allow scrutiny based on β€˜opinions’ – and could prompt other states to follow

β€œThe bill’s language allows scrutiny based on β€˜views’ and β€˜opinions’, a standard that echoes some of the darkest chapters of American surveillance history.”

No country should send teams to the World Cup or summer Olympics. The U.S. government should be treated like a pariah state like South Africa under apartheid.

I'm amazed that I've seen or heard no mention of this all day, but 75 years of chaos -- and often killing -- in and around Iran and, arguably, around the Middle East all started when the United States caused regime change in Iran! www.history.com/this-day-in-...

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem β€œ9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

β€œDolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure β€˜every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON

On top of all the reporting that this war of aggression was planned well in advance, it seems that the reporting also indicates that the US political leadership are quite literally too stupid to understand basic diplomacy. I mean literally not smart enough.

Yeah in FL the Nader vote exceeded W’s margin of victory. 😫 Though the Brooks Brothers Riot and SCOTUS are ultimately to blame, of course. A case for organizing to make the margin too big to rig.
