Also the home of slain civil rights activist Vernon Dahmer - famous for the “If You Don’t Vote, You Don’t Count” quote so the history here is layered. ALSO the home of The University of Southern Mississippi which has historically put up damn near HBCU numbers in Black enrollment
Scott Colom appears set to win Forrest County, named after Nathan Bedford Forrest, who founded the Ku Klux Klan

My politics will always be that no one, much less a survivor of 9/11, should have $190,000 in medical debt while living in the world’s richest country.
Marcy Borders, otherwise known as the "Dust Lady," accumulated about $190,000 in medical debt battling stomach cancer before passing away on August 24, 2015, at the age of 42. She couldn't afford vital prescription medications to manage her chemo and nausea, and she believed her cancer was triggered by the toxic smoke she inhaled. 25 years later, we know that her hunch was true.

Tulane didn't score a touchdown today for the first time in years and only mustered 3 points but imagine if they had USM's resources. Would have been 0 for sure. Maybe even negative points.

"Afraid of Asheville" is legitimately hilarious
A lot of people are clowning on this, but I live very close to Asheville and have several family members who are genuinely scared of going there. It’s absurd, but it’s also a very real fear for many evangelicals. Like this is a sentiment I’ve heard for over two decades now.

As we reflect on Drew Brees’ career since he’s a Pro Football Hall of Famer,I think about @ZachStrief’s retirement speech.He spoke about leadership & literally cried cause he wouldn’t be around Drew. Wins & records are important but also the standard you set for those around you

This gave me chills. Every Saints fan needs to see it.
Every generation has its standard. For New Orleans, it wore #9. @ProFootballHOF | @drewbrees
