Last week, I went to Jackson, Mississippi, to report a story about the hostile takeover of the 83% Black city by the majority white Republican state Senate. They're appointing new judges, rather than allowing Jackson's residents to vote for them, as is the norm. And they're expanding the state-controlled Capitol police force to all of Jackson. In the six months since their juristiction was extended to the area around the Capitol building, they've shot four Black people, killing 25-year-old Jaylen Lewis during a traffic stop.
