We have yet to solve the problems that Carter confronted head-on as president.

When Sydney Jones arrived at Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto during a mental health crisis, her family assumed she would soon receive treatment. Instead, the hospital sent her to jail, though she was charged with no crime. Why did this happen? (THREAD) mississippitoday.org/2024/05…

Morley Musick is one of my favorite writers—everything he writes is totally idiosyncratic, old-school, and stratospherically funny and soulful. Psyched to have him writing a column at @nplusonemag: nplusonemag.com/online-only/…

1/ Tina Marie Marsden, a mother in her 40s, has a heart pump that runs on batteries that need to be frequently charged. If the batteries run out, Marsden could die. But recently, over the course of 3 years, her utility disconnected her power 5 times for nonpayment.

Anyone going through the involuntary commitment process should have a hearing within 7-10 days. Tatsch was jailed for 12, mostly in an isolation cell that had no TV. It's unclear whether he got a hearing or even an evaluation. Story for @MSTODAYnews mississippitoday.org/2024/01…
