Thousands advised to stay inside in Mississippi

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Residents in Jackson and its surrounding areas in Mississippi face potentially harmful air pollution levels as of early Sunday morning, according to monitoring resource AirNow.

As of approximately 2:20 a.m. CST, AirNow shows an area of fine particle (PM2.5) pollution in the “unhealthy” category centered over the city.

According to the AirNow map, this zone also extends west over Vicksburg, north over Durant, east over Forest, and south over Brookhaven.

At these levels of air pollution, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that sensitive groups avoid long or intense outdoor activities and consider rescheduling moving them indoors.

Trump's EPA believes clean air is overrated.

1. EPA? I thought the skeleton clearing crew was all that's left.

I did write "cleaning crew" but realized that wouldn't be possible.

3. With the exception of Oxford (where Ole Miss is), Mississippi is the American Third World

And Governor Tater Tot is doing his darndest to turn it into a Fourth World outright.

6. HeartbreIaking.. just heartbreaking..

This is what we saw in the south when we transferred to North Carolina in 1958.. looks the same.

look at these homes, allowed to rot.. so depressing. I blame the state, the country and god!!!!

7. Very much so. Most Mississippi Republicans see Jackson in the same way Bibi sees Gaza:

As a place with "demographic problems" that needs to be "ethnically cleansed."

They very much see Black people as a burden - and which can only be shed by way of making their lives as hellish as possible, such they'll either leave or die.

4. We don't need no stinkin' clean air. So sayeth the king.

5. Drumpf will justify it somehow; or not even. I am so enraged with the total rollback of any environmental protections.
