From Gov.-elect Tate Reeves' "For All Mississippi" inaugural events list:

•All Mississippins who donate $250k to his shindig will enjoy an inaugural dinner.

•All the upper-peasants who can only spare $25k can attend his inaugural breakfast, where he'll let them eat pancakes.
If you're a total pauper and could only send the Governor-elect $5,000, well, there's a nice little reception waiting for you. You can even go to the ball, Cinderella.

Truly something for all Mississippians who have at least a mere five grand to spare. 💰 #MSGov

A black man will spend 12 years in prison because, while he was in a county jail for a misdemeanor, guards caught him sending texts on his phone—a felony that can apparently carry between 3 to 15 years in prison. The MS Supreme Court upheld the sentence.
deepsouthvoice.com/index.php/2020…
In a concurrence with the ruling, Presiding Mississippi Supreme Court Justice Leslie King admits that Nash's "crime was victimless, and the facts of the case lend themselves to an interpretation that his crime was accidental and likely caused by a failure of booking procedures."
Notably, both the prosecutor and the initial trial court judge who handed down the sentence were first appointed to their positions by Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant, who just this past week claimed Mississippi "just got out of racism."

Gov. Phil Bryant's claim that Mississippi "just got out of racism that existed til the 70s" is interesting, considering he graduated from a seg academy in 1971 that the white supremacist Citizens Council (colloquially: White Citizens Council) set up to combat integration. 👇🏻
JFP: "Dewey Phillip Bryant attended Council McCluer High School his junior and senior years.

Council McCluer was a segregationist academy founded after the U.S. Supreme Court forced schools to desegregate with its 1969 Alexander v. Holmes decisions." 👇🏻
jacksonfreepress.com/news/2017/feb/…
Here's what WJ Simmons, a CC leader who operated Phil Bryant's seg academy, said about McCluer High in 1985:

"Race was a motivating factor ... admitting blacks lowers educational standards. Racial mixing is wrong when it's forced. If it's not forced, it's not likely to occur."

Don't say "don't make this about politics."

We are on the brink of war BECAUSE of politics.

Because Trump hated Barack Obama and tore up the US-Iran nuclear peace deal.

Because Trump chose to risk war with an assassination to distract from impeachment. 1/ #IranAttacks
Because political cowards put their careers first and bowed to and carried water for a man who they KNEW was unfit, erratic, and unstable.

Focus on the people now in harm's way, yes.

But don't say, "Don't make this about politics." They are in harm's way BECAUSE of politics. 2/
AND bc of a national news media that was so f***ing determined to prove how "objective" & "balanced" they are, they harped on "emails!" relentlessly to try to equalize Trump's extreme inexperience & unfitness with Hillary's high qualifications & thoughtfulness. You all knew, too.

#Mississippi fanatically attacked its voter rolls using #KrisKobach’s #InterstateCrosscheck list which targeted 146,054 voters in the state. From our #Georgia experience, about 29,000 voters would have been purged in 2017, just before the election.
We cannot give the exact number because the state is withholding the info. So, my attorneys have notified the state they will be facing a lawsuit under the National Voter Registration Act — the same lawsuit that forced #BrianKemp to cough up the #Georgia purge list.

#Mississippi: Ugly Old Trick Targets #MikeEspy Voters gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi… #MississippiRunoff #MississippiSenateRace
Mike Espy, US Senate candidate, reveals the return of an outlawed #VoteSuppression tactic aimed at elderly voters. In the vote-stealing biz it’s called "push polling" in which a fake pollster cons a voter out of their vote. gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi…
Push-polling was infamously successful in elections in years past. For example, in 1996, supporters of Republican Sam Brownback, posing as pollsters, used it against Democrat Jill Docking. Funds for the “push polls” were traced back to Koch Industries. gregpalast.com/mississippi-mi…
