“Joe Biden’s vaccine mandates are one of the most shocking attacks on personal liberty in this country during my lifetime,” says Gov. Tate Reeves, who in 2015 presided over the passage of a bill to incarcerate tuberculosis patients who refuse treatment. mississippifreepress.org/17791/reeves-m…
With Tate Reeves as Mississippi Senate president, the chamber unanimously passed the 2015 bill to incarcerate tuberculosis patients who refuse treatment.
NEW: When a federal court redrew Mississippi's congressional maps to make it comply with the Voting Rights Act, plaintiffs say, it inadvertently helped kill direct democracy—and a medical marijuana law voters approved in 2020.
"Left to a state legislature unable to adopt a constitutionally compliant redistricting plan for the last thirty years …, the initiative petition rights of the people of Mississippi have been sideswiped and killed,” the motion says. mississippifreepress.org/17927/mississi…
On Nov. 3, 2020, about two-thirds of Mississippi voters approved Initiative 65. If their wishes had been fulfilled, patients would have been able to begin obtaining medical marijuana to treat various illnesses starting in August. mississippifreepress.org/17927/mississi…
"For too long, Black women have been holding their breath, caught between an upsetting and absurd mashup of 'waiting to exhale' & 'waiting for Godot.' The lines between the two are revealed in Black women’s overwhelming fortitude to 'just get things done.'"mississippifreepress.org/16773/no-more-…
"Black women are the matriarchal figures of their homes, families, communities, churches and work environments. They show up when no one else does, leaving little or no time for themselves to take a break or a breath," writes @JAPublisher. mississippifreepress.org/16773/no-more-…

Republicans in Virginia used a Lee Atwater-style Southern Strategy to drive white voters to the polls & it looks like it's paying off.
The Beltway Media has done Americans a huge disservice by ignoring the persistence of the Lost Cause & its descendants.google.com/amp/s/amp.theg…
This was predictable, though, especially during the last few months while serious people in the Beltway media (not all, though) treated the billionaire-backed astroturf "critical race theory" (aka actual American history) CRT panic as a legitimate debate.
This racial fear-mongering targeting white voters is longstanding tradition in Mississippi.
Many Mississippi Republicans have used these tactics in recent decades, like segregationist Democrats (aka Dixiecrats) did for 100 years before them.
On Oct. 12, Mississippi State Auditor Shad White gave Brett Favre 30 days to pay back $828,000 in Temporary Assistance For Needy Families funds he had received.
Favre could face a civil lawsuit if he does not return the remaining $228,000 in welfare dollars by Nov. 11. It would be up to Mississippi Attorney General Lynn Fitch to decide whether or not to pursue the funds in court. mississippifreepress.org/17417/brett-fa…
Brett Favre returned $500,000 in May 2020, but did not make any additional repayments until the auditor issued his demand letter this month.
