Civil rights icon Fannie Lou Hamer's work at the Atlantic City convention in 1964 marked the beginning of the Dixiecrat element fleeing to the Republican Party. Thank you, Joe Biden for recognizing Hamer with a Presidential Medal of Freedom today! www.loveblackgirls.org/post/preside...

Under Trump, EPA scientists say managers encouraged them to delete evidence of chemicals’ harms, including cancer, miscarriage and neurological problems, from their reports. And in some cases, they said, their managers deleted the information themselves. By @fastlerner.bsky.social

WashPo didn't mention how one of those proposals in their article calls for turning Medicaid into a block grant. Mississippi officials have funneled more than $70 million in TANF block grant money to their GOP allies. Wait til they get their hands on Medicaid. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

This is a painful image to swallow considering the US only recently began to live up to its claim as a democracy after Black women organized, went door-to-door and risked their lives--and a burning cross--for everyone's right to vote in the 1960s. You are a free nation because of us.

Particulate matter of 2.5 microns (PM2.5) is nasty stuff that pierces the lungs and gets into the blood, and Black populations suffer the most exposure to it. A MS wood pellet plant now wants to be a "major" PM2.5 polluter. Guess what kind of town it's in. www.loveblackgirls.org/post/drax-fu...

Mississippi leaders used TANF block grant money to settle a civil suit against a white state employee for his alleged racist behavior. If they convert Medicaid to a block grant program they will use it for themselves, not beneficiaries. www.loveblackgirls.org/post/did-mis...
