Last week I took a look at trends in Gen Z voter registration, finding that since Trump took office last January, Dems have made massive gains with young voters across the country. Now I'll update that analysis with some breakdowns by race/ethnicity.

First up, PA - while Dems made gains in every group, the biggest swings were with AAPI voters, where Gen Z new registrants went from +11D in early 2025 to +40D now, followed by white voters, going from -11D to +13D, 29 and 24 pt swings, respectively.

I don't think there's a way to post really nasty and in my opinion unwarranted attacks on Jasmine Crockett without making it look like you're doing it for really bad reasons. She already endorsed Talarico way back when. She's not obligated to hold his hand all day everyday. You're not helping.

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1951: The Sojourners for Truth and Justice begin a three-day assembly in Washington, D.C., with a march and silent vigil on the White House lawn. More than 132 Black women from 14 states arrived in the capital to demand federal action against racial terror. /1
Members of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice gather during their initial mobilization, Sept. 29 to Oct. 2, 1951. More than 132 African American women from 14 states descended on the nation’s capital to demand an end to racial violence, Jim Crow laws and the systemic oppression of Black women. While the poor quality of the photo makes it difficult to pinpoint every face from left to right, several core organizers and notable figures are prominent in the center-front cluster: Louise Thompson Patterson, Charlotta Bass, Shirley Graham Du Bois and Eslanda Goode Robeson. Other trailblazing figures who participated in the Washington, D.C., delegation included legendary activist Mary Church Terrell, journalist Claudia Jones and a young Lorraine Hansberry, who read the group’s manifesto aloud during the convention.

It worked as intended. The constant threat of being blacklisted, losing employment, facing criminal charges and enduring relentless harassment caused the group’s ambitious plans to fall apart. Under immense pressure, the Sojourners for Truth and Justice were forced to dissolve by late 1952. /end
Louise Thompson Patterson, 1960. Patterson was the operational backbone, executive organizer and administrative engine of the Sojourners for Truth and Justice. After the initial Washington mobilization, the collective voted to establish a permanent national framework, appointing Patterson as the Executive Secretary. She took on the task of transforming a three-day protest into a sustained national movement. She traveled extensively to raise money and establish local Sojourners chapters. Because she was the administrative nerve center of the organization, the Department of Justice and the FBI subjected her to relentless surveillance. They eventually seized her passport to cut off her ability to connect with international leftist and anti-colonial organizations. However, Patterson never renounced her leftist commitments. She carried the same organizing blueprint into the 1970s, where she served as a leader in the successful international movement to Free Angela Davis.

I honestly don't know why this has to be said, but: A woman isn't ever "partially responsible" for her own rape. It doesn't matter what she's wearing. It doesn't matter what she was drinking. It doesn't matter how much she was drinking. The only person responsible for rape is the rapist. Period.

Thirty-Five Days Texas won't flip in one cycle. Republicans didn't take it overnight. But a 16–15 Senate takes the keys from Dan Patrick. A flipped House makes Republicans ask permission. Every seat won now is one we defend in 2028 instead of chase. Arlington was full of Dixie cups. Show up.
