We're on the ground in Mississippi, and we're not backing down.

Today, we sent a letter to the County Election Clerk on behalf of voters, because every vote must be counted according to the law.

Mississippi showed up. Now, we're showing up for Mississippi.

Mississippi voters who cast an affidavit ballot because they forgot photo ID have until Nov. 10 to show an acceptable ID at their county circuit clerk's office. Here's how the NAACP is helping. 👇🏿

The NAACP said on Thursday that it is sending "national legal, policy, and field staff to Mississippi," to "help voters navigate ballot cure requirements and ensure every eligible vote is counted and certified."

“They’re trying to create a chilling effect.”

@DerrickNAACP isn’t mincing words about Senate Republicans’ demand that Mississippi election officials separate and preserve affidavit ballots.

We sat down with him at the Mississippi @NAACP headquarters in Jackson to talk about what’s at stake for voters as the count continues.

NAACP General Counsel Kristen Clarke:

Organizations like the NAACP and others do a lot of work on voter education to make sure that communities understand the rules and requirements for voting.

What they don't deserve is the risk of encountering people on behalf of the United States Department of Justice who are there to intimidate or create an atmosphere that would discourage people from freely exercising their right to vote.

People over profits. Period.

NAACP just intervened in the $67B energy deal reshaping Virginia's "data center alley" because Black communities have borne the brunt of problematic energy issues far too long.

Civil rights and environmental justice must be front and center when fossil fuel use is being discussed, and the cost of utilities is on the line.

We've advocated against shutoffs, for renewable energy projects, and for low-income energy assistance, and we're just getting started.

[NAACP @NAACP]

Are we going to act like this is normal?

When a sitting president boasts about the "very bad things" he could have done to his political rivals, that's not bravado. It's unchecked power and, quite frankly, threatening.

[Aaron Rupar @atrupar]

Trump: "I could've done very bad things to Hillary Clinton. I could've done very very bad things to Joe Biden. I could've done very bad things to Barack Hussein Obama ... I can do whatever I want, if I want."

President Trump's recent remarks suggesting Iran could "take out" Los Angeles and San Diego are unconscionable and cannot be laughed off as a joke or explained away.

For a president to invite another country to attack his own citizens is disqualifying, disgraceful, and shameful.

To say this, then turn around and come to Baltimore to praise the Navy? We are witnessing a president completely disconnected from the very military service members and families he is inciting violence against.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

President Trump defended the war with Iran during a campaign rally in Nebraska, calling its economic impact a “small price to pay” for keeping the U.S. and the world safe.

“They can take out a city. Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego,” Trump said while discussing the threat he says Iran poses to the U.S. He also called the war “artificial” and said he expects it to end “very soon.” Trump was in Nebraska campaigning for Republican Sen. Pete Ricketts ahead of the November midterms.

.@Foxworth24 opened today's episode with thoughts on the Protect College Sports Act and what it's really about 👀

"The core of it is about re-establishing the power the NCAA had in the past – that the court system determined was illegal."

[Justin Tinsley @JustinTinsley]

If a coach creates so much revenue, how much do those who actually play?

Let's be for real here. No one is saying coaches shouldn't be paid. It's about giving players — who actually create the revenue — a seat at the actual negotiating table.
