In Mississippi, we have a word for this vague landmass "between New Orleans and Mobile." It& #39;s "Mississippi." cc: @CC_Yale
This ain& #39;t a new thing: https://twitter.com/lindseyrushing/status/239838933427552257">https://twitter.com/lindseyru...
Sally is going to "approach the coast between Louisiana and Alabama," according to Bloomberg.

What coast is that, Bloomberg? https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€”" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">
And yep, Katrina made landfall in Mississippi, bringing a 28-foot storm surge that swept many out to sea and killed hundreds of Mississippians. Most deaths in New Orleans resulted from the failure of the levee system. https://twitter.com/ChivoWhisperer/status/1305247024082812928">https://twitter.com/ChivoWhis...
Y& #39;all, there is an "official" FB page for "The Landmass Between NOLA and Mobile" and my post made it on there. https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😂" title="Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen" aria-label="Emoji: Gesicht mit FreudentrĂ€nen">

Another one! It is hitting MISSISSIPPI you fools.

Apparently the only way for our state& #39;s name to get mentioned is for one of us to do something super racist.
Meanwhile, USA Today has gifted us with... Alabama.

So I guess that make Mobile Mississippi now. https://twitter.com/usatoday/status/1305559943232262144">https://twitter.com/usatoday/...
FYI, here& #39;s how to write a tweet/headline about a hurricane hitting Mississippi: https://twitter.com/ashtonpittman/status/1305592890907856904">https://twitter.com/ashtonpit...

Twitter is now mocking me.
FFS, Mississippi has a name! I& #39;m not shocked that @nytimes is doing this, too, but really—can y& #39;all stop disrespecting Mississippi—which, I& #39;ll remind you, has more Black elected officials per capita than any other state.

Y& #39;all know our name when it& #39;s a story about racism. https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/1305561974445608961">https://twitter.com/nytimes/s...
"Louisiana to the Panhandle" is a new one (he did correct himself after being admonished, though!). https://twitter.com/msfishon/status/1305717653168893952">https://twitter.com/msfishon/...
