Listen. I ain’t never had an abortion in my life (and hopefully never will). But I voted yesterday because God forbid I need care and my Dr refuses to save my life because she’s scared to go to prison.
Reproductive rights are more than just abortions. Hope this helps.
Scott Colom would’ve been a lifetime federal judge in Mississippi if Cindy Hyde-Smith hadn’t blocked his confirmation - freeing him to very possibly defeat her in the Senate race.
Basically what happened is.. Colom started separating due to outstanding votes in Hinds and Holmes County and so now the affidavit ballots are going to be counted and absentee votes. Over 130,000 votes outstanding.
The South is not a "lost cause". It's underorganized, underfunded, and relentlessly suppressed & gerrymandered. And despite it all, Black Southern voters have shown up anyway to be the conscience of this country throughout our history. I hope people realize that.
FUN FACT: Joe Biden nominated Scott Colom to serve on the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, his nomination was blocked by........Sen. Cindy Hyde Smith.
