NEW: "The Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act" failed twice in the US Senate in 2018 and 2020. It didn't even get a vote.

But in Mississippi this week, a state version is headed to Gov. @TateReeves' desk after passing #MSLeg unanimously in both houses. 1/ mississippifreepress.org/9924/dignity-f…
If @TateReeves signs it, The Dignity for Incarcerated Women Act will:
•Prioritize placing incarcerated mothers within a certain distance of their children
•Provide female hygiene products for indigent women
•Limit use of restraints on pregnant women 2/ mississippifreepress.org/9924/dignity-f…
The Dignity for Incarcerated Act won the support of every Democrat and every Republican in the Mississippi Legislature and has the support of state orgs across the spectrum including @EmpowerMS and @ACLU_MS. #MSLeg 3/ mississippifreepress.org/9924/dignity-f…

BREAKING: Gov. Tate Reeves will sign #SB2536, banning transgender athletes in K-12 and college from playing on teams that correspond to their gender.

A trans man, for example, will have to play on the women's team under the "Mississippi Fairness Act." 1/ mississippifreepress.org/9879/gov-reeve…
“As thousands die each day of COVID-19 and millions of Americans are out of work, some state legislatures have chosen to attack, demean & dehumanize their constituents rather than focus on delivering relief and assistance.”—@HRC President @AlphonsoDavid 2/
mississippifreepress.org/9879/gov-reeve…
“Today...Mississippi became the first state to take the plunge by passing legislation specifically attacking transgender children. Mississippi is so determined to be on the wrong side of history that it's defying the evidence in favor of discrimination.” 3/mississippifreepress.org/9879/gov-reeve…

Buckingham Palace will investigate Megan Markle for alleged "bullying," but not a peep about investigating Epstein buddy Prince Andrew for rape.
For context, here's the kind of scandalous behavior Megan Markle's staff has quietly accused her of in the past. ImageImage
She texts us 6 and 7 times a day!

She WRITES HER OWN SPEECHES.

She comes up with her OWN IDEAS for shaping her role.

Why does this American woman bully me so?

I can do this job no longer!

NEW: Investigators say they found "substantial evidence" that U.S. House Rep. Steven Palazzo, a Mississippi Republican, may have broken multiple laws with his use of campaign funds, federal dollars and "special favors." mississippifreepress.org/9860/investiga…
Investigators cite “a concerning pattern of campaign expenditures on a large riverfront home which Rep. Palazzo owned and rented to Palazzo for Congress as an ostensible campaign headquarters.” mississippifreepress.org/9860/investiga…
Palazzo's office calls the allegations "false" and says he "welcomes the opportunity to work through this process with the House Committee on Ethics & will fully cooperate with the Committee to show that he has complied with all relevant rules & standards."mississippifreepress.org/9860/investiga…

A chilling warning in Jackson's 3rd week with little running water:

"Parents of children 5 or younger should...(ensure) adequate lead screening or blood testing should be performed."

"Are they telling us that they’re poisoning our children with lead?” mississippifreepress.org/9824/lt-gov-ho…
Lt. Gov. Delbert Hosemann, the MS Senate president, on the capital city's water crisis:

"I’ve received no contact from the city at all. No, I have not. Neither the governor nor the city have contacted us at all about any of that.”

It's the third week!
mississippifreepress.org/9824/lt-gov-ho…
In spite of the grave threats to public health, Hosemann said the Legislature was already taking the burdens of Jackson in other ways & balked at the $1-billion price tag Mayor Lumumba previously raised to repair the city’s crumbling water infrastructure. mississippifreepress.org/9824/lt-gov-ho…
