Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
if bovino is out and conservatives are turning on noem then there is a real opportunity to demand that miller resign too.

Huge turnout at the #NoKings rally in Hattiesburg, Missisisppi today, wrapping up and down both sides of the streets around City Hall.
I'd estimate that about 300 people showed up, along with 2 pro-Trump counter-protesters.
