Well, IDK what they’re going to do about that, they’re the poorest state in the Union, but they hate liberals, and liberal states like California pay their bills.

The old Confederacy never really stopped fighting the Civil War. With Trump in power, the South may finally win

What an unnecessary tragedy. If only states would embrace good, proven policies, that improve people’s lives. But what improves all lives, improves Black and Brown lives, and they refuse to have that.

Sadly, this is acceptable in MS.

Except that black infant mortality is almost 2x that for whites in the state. www.marchofdimes.org/peristats/re...

While at the same time eliminating maternal care and birth control resources. Dunnhh.

You think that’s tragic? Look at the infant and maternal rates for the whole USA. Look at where it’s been for decades. It’s hypocritical to isolate one state for being the worst of 50 that essentially share the policies that keep the whole country in last place in this category.

Republikkklansmen love dead kids, from Jackson to Gaza, or in school shootings to defunding healthcare. George Carlin said it about them in 1992: "If you're 'preborn,' you're fine; if you're preschool, you're fucked."

I don’t know what would help the rural south, they vote against their own best interests; how do you get businesses to move there with an uneducated workforce, terrible schools, healthcare, infrastructure, etc. They are getting left behind, so they wallow in their hatred & racism.

But somehow in the midst of all that tragedy MS proudly sends their sons/daughters to a city full of educated, professional citizens to ‘protect’ them from their neighbors???? Wonder what those Nat Guardsmen could be doing in their own neighborhoods?

It’s tragic that they didn't realize how much they rely on federal funding as they were burned by their dear leader and little Mike Johnson.

Literally just a few days ago a MAGA idiot was telling me about Mississippi being so great because of the low gas prices. Maybe a gas tax and you could fund the healthcare there? Less oil subsidies? I’m not sure the exact issue, but I know who ISN’T hurting down there.

They had one clinic before Dobbs. Mississippi originated Dobbs. Smart people who know things said this would happen. What do you know, it happened. The Republican party promotes suffering. It's all they have.
