Carlos Piccata, who says he is a combat vet, to the Shasta, CA county commission: “It’s not going to be peaceful much longer. We’re building, we’re organizing. You won’t stop us when the time comes. This is a warning for what’s coming. There’s a million people just like me.”

Tater has basically abdicated his position.

Yesterday, leaders at our state’s only hospital with a level 1 trauma center said Mississippi's hospital system could be 5-10 days away from collapse.

The governor today:

@diana4candor @natalie_allison Who do they go crying to when the get sick? And I don’t mean just for Covid. For anything. Drs Nurses. And they have the gall to treat them this way???? They need to post their pictures on every hospital admitting wall and emergency room.

Gov Cuomo resigned because his party wasn't tolerating his conduct. Biden and national Dems called on him to resign. NY State Dems were about to impeach him.

The reason Republicans don’t resign for similar or worse allegations is because their party tolerates it. Simple as that.

White House said today that Florida has not distributed any of the money set aside for the state in the American Rescue Plan to help schools reopen safely.

BREAKING NEWS: Dr. Fauci comes out in favor of vaccination mandates for businesses and colleges, blames the unvaccinated for the rapid spread of the deadly Delta variant. RT IF YOU AGREE WITH DR. FAUCI!

It would be hilarious if the people who say "do your own research about vaccines" actually meant it and were like, in their basements testing effects of various mRNA sequences on building antibodies.

But nah, it's just reading conspiracy theories on facebook posted in all caps.

I know MISSISSIPPI'S GOVERNOR HAS COMPLETELY CHECKED OUT OF THE PANDEMIC since declaring "Mission accomplished!" on June 18, but could someone PLEASE tell him health care workers don't have that option?!

This is infuriating for anyone who gives a damn about Mississippians.

The state Government (legislature, lt Gov, and Governor) all couldn’t wait for a chance to prevent the citizens vote to be ignored. A sign of things to come.

[Caleb Bedillion @CalebBedillion]

The fact that there's a category on the map legend just for Mississippi sure is special.

[A.R. Moxon 🦋 @JuliusGoat]

I genuinely dread the point in the near future of our media where republican (and only republican) attempts to overturn each election are simply read as an expected, natural and given part of the horserace, which any democrat (and only the democrat) must overcome for legitimacy

[berial @berial]

But we don't need a mask mandate or any leadership at all from the Governor. Other than lining his own pockets is Reeves doing ANYTHING for MS?

After one week without masks, COVID outbreak forces two Mississippi high schools to close and go virtual. https://t.co/e1JW1z7vO0

[Heather Cox Richardson (TDPR) @HC_Richardson]

A must-read from @JaneMayerNYer. What slays me is that we have traveled this road before, turning the South into an anti-democratic one-party state. The loss of the rule of law destroyed the region. And now people want to make that destruction national. https://t.co/yHHmEFv3Ys

@justharryb The Mississippi Free Press is the paper really covering that story.

@justharryb Have you been reading about the Ole Miss donors having very racist effects on the school?

When people talk about why the pandemic spread so rapidly, no one seems to mention that America is the only advanced country with no guaranteed paid sick days.

How many of the 35 million cases were the result of people having to work while sick to avoid poverty?

It's always bizarre to hear terms like "housing crisis" when there is no shortage of housing.

It would be like if you heard there was a "water crisis" but found out the "crisis" was global finance buying up all the water and deciding they can make more if only rich people drink.
