🧵 Yesterday, the oppressive HB 1020 bill was signed into law by Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves and it will not #SaveMississippi

Should we be thankful that the bill is a “watered down” version of the original attack on democracy? A bill meant to take authority away from the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Should we be thankful that the judges appointed by the Chief Justice, instead of being put to a vote by the people, will be for a set period of time (through 2026) instead of the originally planed lifetime appointment?

Should we be thankful that those convicted of misdemeanors will be sent to prison instead of serving time at local jails?

Should we be thankful that police protection paid for by all tax dollars will be concentrated in the whitest wealthiest part of Jackson while further… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
I would argue that we should STILL BE OUTRAGED that the white run Mississippi government tried & is still trying to unconstitutionally usurp authority in the largest Black population city in the nation.

I’m also thankful that this attack on democracy came to the attention of the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵 Jackson Mississippi’s lead poisoning is worse than Flint’s! And the boil water notices are compounding the problem.
#SaveMississippi

“We were blown away to learn that the levels in Jackson & the homes that were likely affected in Jackson were more than what it was in Flint”… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Making matters worse, the boil water notices Jackson residents have been following, due to the separate water contamination issue, are making the problem worse.

A practice that does not remove lead from water, but instead concentrates it.
#SaveMississippi Image
Jackson Mississippi’s residents are victims of unchecked lead poisoning and they’re suing.

🧵Something big happened yesterday that you might have missed. I did.

@RepPressley & @SenMarkey re-introduced legislation to END QUALIFIED IMMUNITY. Let’s support them on this fight. We can’t get justice for those brutalized & killed by police when police are protected from… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
Qualified immunity protections have been expanded. It’s time for it to end.
#EndQualifiedImmunity
What are cops afraid of? If they are doing their jobs properly, justly they have nothing to fear.

Qualified immunity protections have been abused.

🧵 Meanwhile, in Oklahoma…

Gazette publisher Bruce Willingham left a voice activated recorder in the McCurtain County official’s (including the Sheriff) meeting because he suspected they were illegally doing county business after the public meeting ended. What he uncovered was… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Read the Sheriff’s response then ponder this…

McCurtain County officials, including the Sheriff, were just caught on tape, discussing a murder plot of journalist & hanging Black people. The same Black people that are subject to the Sheriff’s authority. What could go wrong?… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… Image
The publisher of the McCurtain Gazette, Bruce Willingham and his son, also a reporter, were advised to temporarily leave town.

Gov Greg Abbott is about to pardon a man who shot a BLM protester. A man who clearly had racist motives. But that’s okay with Abbott.

📌 Much of the 2nd Amendment culture can be linked to racism. Did you know that the 2A was meant to stop slave insurrections? Now you do.… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

🧵 If you thought 2016 or 2020 was bad, pay attention to this. 7.3 million views on YouTube.

What’s actually being said is ridiculous so it probably wouldn’t fool you, but Biden’s voice sounds legit — it’s a DEEP FAKE.

What if the voice said something that sounded more… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Here’s a DEEP FAKE of the President mocking the trans community that went viral. Still a little too primitive to be convincing. But technology with AI is getting better.

Still not convinced you could be fooled? Continue…
Deep fakes can be photos too with stunning realism. This was funny and we knew it wasn’t legit because of real-time news.

🧵 There once was a kid who had to take 3 busses to get home from school. His mom was a single parent who had to work, so she couldn’t pick him up after school. He got home after dark, then his long night of homework began. Long day, long night.

His mom finally had the idea that her son should take only one bus to the public library, do his homework and she would pick him up from there. He usually finished his homework before she arrived so he would wander the aisles and pick out books to read.

So many books and they…
One day he found books about the history of fashion design. He was artistic so he started to sketch his version of what was in the books and soon fell in love with the world of fashion. Then he discovered books on entrepreneurship and starting a business.
