And we thought the former commission on UnAmerican activities was gone

So when is the National Guard arriving in Mississippi? If we're basing deployment on highesr per capita murder rates?

A great feature on the work DOCS' Matt Hiatt and some of his @lsu.bsky.social colleagues are doing in the Mississippi Delta

Places with homicide rates higher than DC: Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana and a long list of cities focused in the American southeast. Where is the national guard? Why haven't they been deployed?
