Meteorologists Get Death Threats as Hurricane Milton Conspiracy Theories Thrive
It's their job to warn residents about destructive storms — but political polarization has made them targets online.

Attempting to get news on #Florida through @X has become impossible. It's endless posts about woke mind viruses, election rigging, and geo-engineering storms - all linked back to #HurricanMilton. I can't find anything sensible anymore 🫠

A Mississippi Today investigation shows that more than $7 million in state taxpayer dollars flowed to improve the north Mississippi neighborhood — including a private country club golf course — where powerful lawmaker Trey Lamar lives.

i honestly believe this will be shown in sociology classes for years to come. this photo & everything it has come to signify says so much about our society & the insidious nature of racism.

The execution of Marcellus Williams is a horrible injustice. This didn’t have to happen. Just a couple weeks ago, prosecutors—with the support of the victim’s family—had reached a plea agreement with Marcellus that took death off the table.

What does it say about our legal system when the U.S. Supreme Court refuses to stop an execution even when the county prosecuting agency that handled the original trial files a brief in support of a stay and supports vacating the entire conviction? #MarcellusWilliams

The @NAACP is urgently calling on Gov. Mike Parson to stop the execution of #MarcellusWilliams. In an open letter, they warned that executing Marcellus would be a “horrible miscarriage of justice” and a reflection of Missouri’s troubling racial past. essence.com/news/naacp-marce…

Despite admissions of serious prosecutorial misconduct, including improper handling of evidence, #MarcellusWilliams is still facing execution in four days. His last chance is for @GovParsonMO to intervene. Call, tweet, and e-mail Gov. Parson now and urge him to stop the execution before it’s too late at 417-373-3400. shorturl.at/K7jDT

A key point missing in a lot of post debate analysis is that Trump’s claim about immigrants eating pets almost perfectly syncs up to the piano in the Peanuts theme song.

As the only person in the Mississippi House Congressional Delegation to vote for broadband expansion, I want to express my gratitude to the Biden-Harris administration for providing these life-changing funds, especially when others like @tatereeves have failed to do so.
