The League of Women Voters of Mississippi is extremely frustrated that registered voters in our state didn't have the ability to cast their ballots due to not printing enough ballots. Every voice matters. 1/2

Tomorrow is #WomensEqualityDay, commemorating the passage of the 19th Amendment giving women the right vote—though #WomenOfColor remained disenfranchised.
Join us in marking this day by urging Congress to affirm the #EqualRightsAmendment!

It took 70 years of grinding work to secure suffrage for women. Abigail Adams asked her husband “not to forget the ladies” when drafting the Constitution. #vote
#OnThisDay in 1920 the 19th Amendment was ratified, granting women the right to vote. This amendment prohibits the states and federal government from denying the right to vote to citizens of the United States on the basis of sex.

Life expectancy in Mississippi is now shorter than in Bangladesh. Infants are 70% more likely to die in the US than in other wealthy countries. Newborns in India and Venezuela have a longer life expectancy than newborn Native Americans. What's wrong? nytimes.com/2023/08/16/opini…

They don't care. They don't care that they wasted time. They don't care about taxpayer money. They don't care about Black people. They don't care about the US Supreme Court. al.com/news/2023/07/whitmire…

This Supreme Court's particular disorder isn't just issuing materially destructive decisions; it's the way it's reaching them. vntyfr.com/G5Z839V

BREAKING: U.S. Supreme Court declines to review Mississippi's Jim Crow-era law that strips the right to vote for life from individuals with certain felony convictions. The 1890 law will remain in place, disenfranchising tens of thousands of Mississippians.

The truth of history will remain, no matter what silly little resolutions these craven little Congress critters pass.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said he supports the idea of expunging the two impeachments of Donald Trump as hard-right Republican allies of the former president introduce a pair of proposals to declare it as though the historic charges never happened. apnews.com/article/mccarthy-…

Anyone who actually reads the plainly written indictment can grasp the reckless behavior and grasp Trump is in serious legal jeopardy. Anyone insisting he did nothing wrong or this indictment is an attack on the rule of law is not a serious person and lying to defend him. – at Chicago, IL

Want to know exactly what is being cut with the Republican budget? U.S. Army Veteran James Barry, a resident in Republican @RepJenKiggans district, lays out the cuts clear as day. Kiggans is a Veteran herself which makes this all the more frustrating. #VetsDeserveBetter

Protecting the right to vote is fundamental to ensuring the sanctity of our democracy. We should be making it easier to vote, not harder.

It should be no surprise that the "blue slip" process used by home-state senators to block judicial nominees started with a Mississippi senator. And it should be no surprise that it was started to discriminate against Black Americans. mississippitoday.org/2023/04…

Pathetic that lawmakers refuse to give people back the right to vote on ballot initiatives.
For the second straight year, the Mississippi Legislature could not agree on a plan to restore the state's ballot initiative process. djournal.com/news/state-news…
