Kamala Harris will accept the Democratic nomination 60 years to the day after Fannie Lou Hamer—a Black woman and sharecropper from rural Mississippi—rattled the DNC with her "Is This America?" speech about being brutalized for trying to register to vote.
mississippifreepress.org/kamala-harris-…
Fannie Lou Hamer, who helped organize Freedom Summer to register and educate Black voters, was one of the leaders of the Mississippi Democratic Freedom Party who traveled to the 1964 DNC in New Jersey to challenge the state's all-white delegation.

Fannie Lou Hamer was also an advocate for bodily autonomy.

A white doctor had performed a hysterectomy on her while removing a tumor in 1961.

Such treatment of Black women was so common in the South that Hamer called it a “Mississippi appendectomy.”

NEW: After discovering that some officials in Mississippi and nationwide were keeping unidentified bodies for "personal collections" and refusing to return them, Pascagoula Lt. Darren Versiga began pushing for a law to regulate how remains are handled.
mississippifreepress.org/40991/cold-cas…
Lt. Versiga told @Shaunicy_ that he uncovered the problems when he began looking into decades worth of unsolved cold cases in Pascagoula.

He said a new bill in the Mississippi Senate could prevent the mishandling of bodies in the future.
mississippifreepress.org/40991/cold-cas…
@Shaunicy_ Lt. Versiga also said the bill, introduced by Sen. Brice Wiggins, could also help prevent cases where counties bury bodies without ever informing families of a loved ones' death—as happened to at least seven families in Hinds County.

NEW: The Mississippi Senate stripped out the House Medicaid expansion bill and replaced it with one that could cost the State millions more while covering less people.

"This is not Obamacare" but "a very responsible and conservative bill," a senator said.
mississippifreepress.org/40893/senate-m…
Sen. Kevin Blackwell estimates that 80,000 Mississippians would qualify for Medicaid coverage under the Senate plan, but said he expects as few as 40,000 may actually enroll—significantly lower than the House’s estimation of up to 200,000 for its version.
mississippifreepress.org/40893/senate-m…
The House plan includes full Medicaid expansion under the ACA, allowing residents who make up to 138% of the federal poverty level ($20,120 for an individual) to qualify. The Senate plan only allows people making up to 100% (~$15k) to qualify.

You deplorable misogynist.

You're using photos of her from 10 years ago—when she had an eating disorder.

She was this thin because of hateful assholes like you making her feel bad about her body. Like she could never be thin enough.

You are NOT entitled to women's bodies.
To quote Taylor herself reflecting on her eating disorder:

“If you’re thin enough, then you don’t have that ass that everybody wants. But if you have enough weight on you to have an ass, your stomach isn’t flat enough. It’s all just f—ing impossible.”
variety.com/2020/music/new…
Here's how people reacted after she stopped starving herself (yes, she really did that).

People suck.

Our top story at the Mississippi Free Press today: "Trump Encourages Russia to Attack American Allies: ‘Do Whatever the Hell They Want’"

We may be a local Mississippi outlet, but this is important. It should be leading every newspaper in the country.

NEW: Brett Favre was interrogated by state attorneys for nine hours Monday during a secret deposition about the Mississippi welfare scandal and the millions in TANF funds that went to him, a volleyball stadium and a drug company he was heavily invested in.

Favre's deposition was originally scheduled for October, but the State rescheduled it for after the statewide elections.

It is unlikely that the transcript will become public anytime soon. In October, a judge agreed to a request from the State, Favre and other defendants to issue a protective order sealing certain discovery documents—like deposition transcript.

The order:
