I grew up in the south - and I'm proud if it. There are just as many good people in the south as there are anywhere. We can do this.

Yesterday’s redistricting in Tennessee is crushing. Supreme Court opened the gate, and Tennessee Republicans rushed in. Jim Crow alive and well in the volunteer state. Heartbreaking. Rage making.
