In hindsight, Tatte Reeves had to know he hurt his state by rejecting Medicaid expansion because more rural hospitals are in jeopardy of closing or losing funding for inpatient care. #SaveMississippi

🧵 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

🧵 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

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.

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

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…
