NEW: Lane Kiffin reportedly left Ole Miss because families were uncomfortable with Oxford’s racial history and lack of diversity… Kiffin took issue with symbols like the Confederate flag, Colonel Rebel, and the nickname "Ole Miss" itself. Via (@VanityFair)

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Today, the Mississippi Senate has amended House Bill 1395 to provide a $6,000 teacher pay raise, a $9,000 special education teacher pay raise, and a $2,000 pay raise for assistant teachers, community college instructors, and university professors. A teacher pay raise has been a priority of the Senate’s since day one of this legislative session. The educators who are shaping the future of our state are invaluable, and supporting their work is key. Visit ltgovhosemann.ms.gov/mississ… to read more.

BREAKING: Congressman Bennie Thompson just left this Trump appointee speechless after calling him out on his BS about “Antifa”. This is amazing.

Shout out to @BennieGThompson for wanting to have the conversation but got no answers. The operations director of the FBI's national security branch can't name a single fact about antifa, despite identifying it as the U.S.'s number one national security threat. #antifa #FBI #Trump #DOJ

Three Star U.S. Army Lieutenant General Russel Honoré (ret) delivers an unflinching warning about the state of American democracy and what it means when politicians talk about deploying troops against U.S. citizens.

More than a decade ago, I sat down with @MarcMaron in his garage to tape something new called a podcast. This time, he came to me to record his last episode. We talked about the power of conviction, decency in an age of division, and the true story of America. I’ll miss Marc’s voice, but I hope his legacy of deep conversation and connection will continue.

We must honor the full scope of our history—from the sacrifices of the Civil Rights Movement to the tragic death of Emmett Till that awakened a nation. Our path forward must be rooted in truth, justice, and equal opportunity for all Mississippians—not just selective remembrance.
