It sucks the variants eroded the vaccines’ ability to slow transmission.
But I fear the current “eh nothing matters” attitude toward arresting COVID in some corners has been conflated with the idea that the vaccines aren’t doing *anything* anymore.
Glasses are made to fit caucasian faces and bone structures. They aren’t made to fit wider noses or larger eyes because yt people don’t typically have those features. That’s why your glasses always fall off. ❤️ https://t.co/N09I59fCcfpic.twitter.com/69zVeG2LAW
For about a year now, I've been saying that in Mississippi, Black women are 75 times more likely to die by carrying a pregnancy to term than by having an abortion.
Goodwin provided new statistics.
It's 118.
Black women are 118 times more likely to die by giving birth.
118.

Thinking of somebody I know who’s kind of fringe-y but also not a COMPLETE lunatic who might very well vote Dem down-ballot but now might not vote at all.
There WERE a bunch of sketchy signatures, so the issue was “do we table this for further analysis and discussion, or just vote on it now?”
«[Republican] Tucker moved to vote on certification, rather than table the issue, resulting in the board rejecting the Green Party’s certification.
The state board’s investigation into potential fraud will continue. It’s unclear what avenues the Green Party may now have to appear on the ballot.
Love said the board does not have the statutory authority to extend the July 1 deadline, but a court possibly could. Love said the Green Party’s case had led staff to consider making recommendations for legislative changes to the General Assembly. Among these were the suggestion that it be illegal to pay petition gatherers by signature and requiring petition pages to identify the person gathering the signatures.»
