The public outcry over the mistreatment of the women led to Congressional hearings and the eventual firing of the D.C. Superintendent of Police. The massive publicity reinvigorated the suffrage movement, helping to create momentum for the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. /end

Hostile, mostly male crowds blocked the parade route, shouting insults and physically attacking marchers. More than 100 women were hospitalized. Local police largely stood by or joined in the jeering. Order was only restored when U.S. Army cavalry troops were called in to clear the street. /5

A primary float carried a banner demanding a constitutional amendment to enfranchise women. To avoid alienating Southern supporters, organizers initially asked Black suffragists to march at the back. Ida B. Wells-Barnett refused, waiting in the crowd to join her Illinois delegation mid-march. /4

Between 5,000 and 8,000 suffragists joined the march led by labor lawyer Inez Milholland, who rode a white horse named Grey Dawn while wearing a white cape and a golden "star of hope" tiara. The marchers wore the movement's official colors: purple for loyalty, white for purity and gold for hope. /3

Organized by Alice Paul and Lucy Burns for the National American Woman Suffrage Association, the Woman Suffrage Procession was held the day before President Woodrow Wilson’s inauguration to gain national attention. It featured nine bands, four mounted brigades and more than 20 elaborate floats. /2

Of course there's a cover-up.
Drumpf2.0 has allowed over 50 ICE/CPB in-custody deaths--a 20 years high. Ice/CPB has killed at least 8 people not in custody.

Call Senators. No DHS funding until ICE changes. Their illegal, unwarranted war changes nothing.

Harris County Early Vote Share by Race, 
2026 Texas Democratic Primary

2020 BIDEN COALITION vs 
FIRST 8 DAYS, 2026 PRIMARY
                                       2020.  2026
White Voters A +8pts.  26%.   34%

Hispanic Voters -8 pts. 32%.   24%

Asian Voters T.  -3pts.     7%.     4%

METHODOLOGY
We estimate voters' likely race using Bayesian Improved Surname Geocoding (BISG), a probabilistic method that combines surname information with the demographic composition of a voter's geographic area. BISG applies Bayes' rule to update the baseline racial distribution of a precinct using the racial distribution associated with a given surname, producing individualized race probability estimates rather than fixed classifications. These modeled probabilities allow us to analyze aggregate racial patterns while acknowledging uncertainty at the individual level.

Crockett will need to win Harris County by at least +6 or +7 to win the Senate race.

We’re expecting her to dominate the Black vote, keep enough consolidation elsewhere, and win by mobilization.

And in places like Dallas County/DFW, that β€œBlack share in the 30s” estimate is no small detail.

Here’s something to report. As I was on the steps leading to the entry of Tobin Library in Sam Antonio to vote this morning, a poll worker jammed a political β€œvote for” flyer in my face. I said, β€œYou can’t do this. I’m entering the building.”
