This Mississippi mom talking about what Scott Colom winning means for parents and kids across Mississippi is so powerful and represents what so many parents in “deep red” states feel.

RFK on Black poverty he saw during visit to Mississippi Delta, April 1967: "I've been to third-world countries and I've never seen anything like this."

A country where the two parties compete over the Sunbelt (NV, NC, AZ, GA, TX, etc.) is a much better one than a country where the two parties compete over the Rustbelt.

[Lyndon Baines Johnson @lyndonbajohnson]

A Liberal Democrat now sits in Strom Thurmond's seat, a Black officer of the courts sits in James O. Eastland's seat, and Democrats have taken back LBJ's seat. The moral arc of the universe is long but bends toward justice. -OS

Washington Sun: Senate Democrats are holding their caucus lunch in a larger room today because there is not enough space to accommodate them and their new members.

My whole life the story of the South has been about rising racial polarization; it got so high it basically became the case that if you were white you voted GOP and if you were Black you voted Dem.

2026 *shattered* this, driven by a MASSIVE Dem surge with young whites.
