"The imagery tied directly into the history of the modern-day Republican Party, which rose on the image of the cowboy who would cut through the “socialism' of a government that used tax money to keep the playing field level and restore individual men to power.

But that was always just an image, and now, shown up against the reality of the complicated and hard work of governance, it has become cartoonish."

"Today, Mississippi governor Tate Reeves illustrated the Republicans’ simplistic approach to governance when he announced his reelection campaign with a 12-second campaign video of his face superimposed on cowboy actor Clint Eastwood, shooting at Mexican 'bandits.'"

Governor #TateReeves of #Mississipi signed a bill that, in his words, "bans experimental gender reassignment procedures for children in Mississippi"

That's not even a thing. No doctor in the #UnitedStates performs gender confirmation surgery on minors.

He finished by saying "We will always protect the kids of our state."

This isn't about protecting kids. It's about spreading #disinformation based on #conspiracytheories to restrict rights of a vulnerable minority through fear and intimidation.

SMH, politics over policy… typical.

“Residents of Jackson, Mississippi; Flint, Michigan; and parts of New York City, Baltimore and the state of Hawaii have all dealt with contaminated water supply over the years. Why are so many cities having problems with their drinking water? Shannon Marquez, dean of global engagement and professor of water, sanitation and hygiene at Columbia University, joins John Yang to discuss."https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/why-american-cities-are-struggling-to-supply-safe-drinking-water

@UnicornRiot ok #mississipi. Let’s figure this out. Time for some justice.

@toxtethogrady I believe you're correct, at least the black citizens of Mississippi got some value for their federal tax dollars, if they didn't for all their state tax dollars. #Mississipi
