from #DisabilityRightsMississippi (#DRMS):

"The anti-voter bill applies harsh criminal penalties to Mississippians who help members of their communities vote by absentee ballot. It blocks anyone — including a friend, neighbor or volunteer of a voter services group — from helping a Mississippi voter submit an absentee ballot unless they are an election official, postal worker, family member or caregiver. Since the term caregiver isn’t defined, staff of healthcare institutions are also chilled from helping residents with voting."

"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."

2) #BrandonPresley’s campaign video makes the case for a shift to better governance where incumbent governor #TateReeves is a man with “zero conviction and maximum corruption”. That’s a tag line that could be attached to many #GOP candidates

The New York Times - Opinion | Can Brandon Presley Help Mississippi Break from the Past?

Can a #Democrat win the governor’s race in one of America’s reddest states?

Will a focus on #Mississippi’s regressive grocery tax, #GOP refusal to adopt #Obamacare and the scandal surrounding current #Republican governor #TateReeves create a space for #BrandonPresley to overcome traditional political divides in the #DeepSouth state?

A matter of perspective—rather than #BrandonPresley being held back by the #ToxicD, perhaps the toxic-D gets pulled forward by Brandon Presley. Rather than terrible #TateR #TateReeves giving the other party license to be their own sort of terrible, perhaps he creates an opportunity for the other party to be inclusive, making it feasible for sensible folk, of all stripes to reject & root out the corruption that's taken hold in #Mississippi.

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.
