The poor polling in predicting Tallahassee Mayor Andrew Gillum's Florida Dem. gov primary win didn't take into consideration the Parkland students criss-crossing the state with a massive get out the vote effort among young people.

Bernie only endorsed the former Hillary supporter in the last month. Meanwhile, Parkland students were on the move with voter registration and barely received any recognition for turning out the votes last week. Big media and pollsters struggle with anything new that doesn't fit their narrative.

Vanity Fair Magazine is on the rocks financially, turning to an online subscription model, which I now have, along with my first print magazine in years. Getting the print magazine combo is cheaper than digital only, so I decided to read a real magazine.

Reflecting an editorial shift, yesterday, BLM co-founder DeRay Mckesson was featured online, w/his now iconic Patagonia blue vest. (Not sure if article is in print).
