My fellow cis Americans, I want you to look at this map. Really look at it. And I want you to imagine what it would feel like if those red states were threatening you and your family. Because, ultimately, they are.

This is what creeping fascism looks like. It will harm ALL OF US. And it will take all of us, together, to fight it.

We don't sacrifice people. We stand with our trans siblings. When their rights are threatened, all our rights are threatened.

ProPublica Partner Sues Mississippi County for Blocking Access to Search Warrants
==

The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal has sued Mississippi’s Union County, asking a judge to order that search warrants in its county-level justice court be made open for public inspection.

A joint investigation found many #Mississippi courts thwart public scrutiny of search #warrants. Experts say that violates long-standing norms of public access & the state’s public records law.

This is so ridiculously childish. And I checked and yes it’s real. At this point Musk is intentionally pushing news orgs away on Twitter by these kinds on antics. These labels are supposed to be to help users identify verified orgs, not for taking the piss.

Notice the line stating the government funding level.
