  1. Another great, in-depth report from Capital B News. This one's about the water system in Jackson, Mississippi, which, after two years of fighting between residents, Jackson officials, and state officials, is still in a state of disrepair, spitting contaminated, often tea-colored water out of residents' taps. Capital B reporters unearthed evidence that the EPA failed to act on its own reports about Jackson's water quality, thereby leaving a large amount of federal money, which could have been used to prevent the crisis, unspent.

  5. CW: ACAB, Jackson MS, "paupers graves"

    One of the defenses deployed by the cops in the case of people, mostly Black men, being buried in a field adjacent to the jail in #JacksonMS, was that they "didn't know who they were" or who to notify.

    And yet, "A wallet with Wade's ID card and his home address, a credit card and health insurance card was found in the jeans he was buried in."

    Via PBS News Hour: "The discovery of 215 bodies buried in unmarked graves behind a jail outside of Jackson, Mississippi, has left a community in disbelief."

    The total list of people buried in paupers graves between 2008 and 2023, that the #HindsCounty coroner is willing to admit to is 672.

    Inmates from #JacksonMS's county are forced to dig up these graves every so often, where the system hides its crimes with absolute impunity.

    You can't throw money at these people and expect it to fix generations of #Racism.

  17. CW: ACAB, Jackson MS, murdered Black men

    Up thread, in a post on October 25, I linked to this NBC News piece about Dexter Wade, who was killed by a cop car, then buried in a pauper's field without bothering to notify his family.

    nbcnews.com/news/us-news/bette

    Well, Dexter was but one of many victims of homicide whose families weren't notified of their deaths.

  18. CW: ACAB, racism, Jackson MS

    Cop car runs over a Black man.

    His mother reports him missing to the cops after he doesn't return home.

    The cops--who know the identity of the man that was killed--never tell her he's dead.

    Months later, the city buries him in an unmarked grave/pauper's field.

    Now they want her to pay them to recover his remains.
    MSM report highlights the victim's record.

    You can't reform this.

    "#JacksonMS is a city full of history and culture. It's also a city suffering from local, state, and national neglect.
    In August 2022 when newspapers announced that the city had issued a boil order for the city’s water, many were reminded of Flint, Michigan and other working class, primarily Black cities around the country who have been left without a vital service for days, weeks, months, and years.

    Safe drinking water is a human right."

  24. @alexwild @oh_that_courtney I think that #water control strategy is also going on in #jacksonms. Seems like there are parallels here, in demographics. Also to note that 2020 White House #votersuppression pressures were applied to similar demographics in must have #electoralcollege states. This #library suppression strategy also reeks of #JimCrow

  25. Who else is watching ‘We’re Here’?

    De'Bronski‘s performance was remarkable. And the costuming was brilliant: From someone who felt invisible to someone who filled the entire stage up to the rafters!
