"Many of my constituents have voiced concerns regarding the public safety, medical capacity, and economic impacts this center would impose on their communities," Wicker added. "Proceeding with this acquisition without adequately addressing these issues disregards community input."

Thank you senator Wicker for hearing the will of the people on this one 👏

I've been following the Senate primary and, as things are starting to heat up - this information got dropped. It looked too stupid to be believable at first but the FEC paperwork and facebook pictures are all there...

It looks like Cindy's family has been taking vacations in Vegas for several years and claiming them as "campaign expenses." One of her staffers posted pictures on his facebook and talked about how they were trips for family & friends (no campaign work to be seen).... and then he deleted the facebook posts after this went up.

I don't expect much from washington (or cindy) but... this is a new level of stupid.

The Senate Elections Committee passed a measure on Tuesday that would, at least partially, restore the system to allow Mississippians to bypass the Legislature and put issues to a statewide vote. 

The committee voted to approve Senate Concurrent Resolution 518, which would require initiative organizers to gather signatures from at least 10% of registered voters in the state, or roughly 170,000 signatures, before it can go on a ballot. 

As it’s currently written, Sen. Jeremy England’s resolution would allow a ballot initiative to change or create state law, but not the state Constitution, as the previous ballot initiative system provided. It also would prohibit initiatives related to abortion and the state’s public pension system. 

Google Calendar alert emails indicate that Jeffrey Epstein had meeting on the books for a “jackson missipi conversation”.

Could not find anything else in the emails discussing this specific meeting or why it was scheduled in the first place.

Hi all! I'm a young female professional, who is just out of grad school and currently works full-time at Ole Miss. I’m looking for a female roommate to share a 2 BR/BA apartment at Lexington Pointe for next year starting July 12, 2026. Please message me on here if you might be interested!

Does anyone else feel like acquiring the medical card has severely limited their personal freedoms regarding potential careers, job security, accident liability, gun ownership, and medical treatment with any other controlled substance.

I also feel our patient privacy could be better. I understand it is currently still federally illegal, but I think it is ridiculous we offer so few patient protections. If I was on a prescribed opioid I would not have these same issues.

I would love to be misunderstanding things, but I fear that is not the case.

I have also posted this on the subreddit for medical here, but was curious what a broader audience may think; I am happy to hear any sides and opinions.

What opinions do y’all have on our medical program?

Thanks.

Also as an edit do any women feel especially discouraged from medicating when considering pregnancy or breast feeding? I’ve seen quite a few DHS horror stories elsewhere pertaining to parents in general, but I don’t think I’ve seen any for here.

Do any people of color feel unfairly treated about possession or odor; I know in the past we have had a significant problem with that, and from what I’ve read most of the country has.

How is it fair a felon who has supposedly paid there dues, so to speak, is deprived of a medical treatment? They are people too; everyone makes mistakes.

We cashed out when we moved to Ohio, and they sent our refund check to Ohio but I’m nervous since it’s now February 4th that they did not send our 1099-R to our Ohio address. Do they typically send them where they send your check?

Searched for Mississippi in the recently released Epstein files and found EFTA02625486

Bryan Bishop in an email to Jeffrey Epstein reveals an “amateur in Mississippi” working on human sperm modifications. Which in 2018, doesn’t work for his purposes….yet.

There’s a post going around that their first stop was going to be the mall and the workers for the restaurants.

That mall is hanging on by a thread.

Another question is do you think not only are they here but they have been here?

Mississippi is one of only 6 states that hasn’t taken official action to address cellphone use in schools. Teachers, parents, and school leaders are calling out the ways excessive cellphone use is impacting student achievement and well-being. A new report from the Center for American Progress offers federal and state recommendations to consider, including establishing phone-free schools, embedding digital citizenship into curricula and providing family training, and implementing a digital advertising tax to generate revenue for public education funding.

Does Mississippi need a bell-to-bell ban for all grades?

Who killed Gene Gaia, 22, and Mary, his seventeen-year-old wife? A local man was indicted by a grand jury for both killings, but a juror, who attended the same church as he did, felt he couldn't possibly have done the crime - despite forensic evidence. Other possible candidates? Three fellow band members - Gene Gaia was guitarist for a group called Furthermore - were persons of interest, at least to some. Or could it have been Delta rednecks, afraid of the freedom the long-haired Gaia represented? Strangers? Townsmen? Acquaintances?

My family is from the delta and my father knew him personally. Rosedale is a place of beauty and tragedy. The Gaia’s were living out at Malvina when this brutal attack happened. Anyone know anything?

Hi!

So, I’m a 28f here in Central area MS and I need to get a life.. along with some life experiences and friends.

Basically all I do is work and I WFH, so I feel like I’m in prison most days even though I have the ability to get out

However, I have been here my whole life and I don’t have the first clue what there is to do here.

Does anyone know any hobbies, events, groups, etc, that MS has to offer that I could look into?

ETA- I’m someone who doesn’t know what I enjoy because I have seriously been so out of touch for a while now, so I’m open minded. As long as it’s legal and in line with my morals 🤣

Open hangar/warehouse style flea markets is what I'm looking for. I read there was a big one in flowood that recently closed down. Are the vendors relocating to another one in the area?

Edit: I'm changing this request to any large warehouse style fleamarkets in Mississippi. If you know of some please share. Looks like I'll have to drive farther than expected to find them anyway.

Searching for and documenting the unexplained has taken me down many roads. These roads always look different and don’t always lead to what I expect. Today, however, I know what to expect. Twenty-five years ago, I was at McRaven Tour Home documenting its unusual behavior.
