“Southern University taught me the real meaning of leadership."
As we prepare to celebrate Founders’ Day, hear from former SGA president, 1997 graduate and music icon @davidbanner on Southern’s impact🏆

James Talarico ran up the score in the whitest area of Texas. Meanwhile Harris County — home to a million Black people — only produced 189,000 total Democratic primary votes.
Talarico had a strategy to target white and Latino voters and the data shows that’s how he won.
Black people have to realize the power we have and maximize it. People don’t want to highlight raw numbers because they cut out the emotion. They paint a clear picture of how we got here.
Black communities in the Deep South aren’t being engaged at the level needed to turnout and flip states. That is the core issue with the Democratic Party. If @jamestalarico is going to be successful in the fall he’s going to need to engage Black voters in Texas with the same funding and energy he’s put into Hispanic voters. Beto lost chasing the middle while 900,000 Black voters in Texas stayed home when he ran.
I don’t apologize for wanting more Black leadership in America. We elect 80-85 white people to the U.S. Senate every term. I believe if we want something different we have to do something different, we have to send a different type of leader.
I’m going live to discuss this further, Black people we have the numbers to shift the landscape. We need a hyper focus on turning our people out. Doing so will increase our power, which unlocks wealth and will benefit the nation as a whole.
In God we trust, everybody else bring data!

Powerful: CJ Stroud on if God is blessing the Texans because of the testimony they give every game.
“ I don’t think God is like ‘the Texans are gunna win.’, but I think regardless, win or loss he gets the glory, and that’s up to us, that’s just worship. Him giving us our talents, abilities, & these jobs, he’s more than worthy of all the worship is really why we do what we do. It’s not because we want favor from the lord. In my opinion, you don’t just get favor from the lord just because you give him glory, he deserves it. It’s not because we follow Jesus that we win every game.”
Every NFL team needs to take notes 🙏
Trump exposed that @govjefflandry was lying about being asked to lead an envoy to Greenland. Jeff called the president and asked for the assignment.
Why would the governor of a state that ranks 50 out of 50 want that assignment? Diplomatic experience. Something that people who want to run for president try to get on their resume.
The reason I encourage you to share these videos is because we shouldn’t assume everyone knows what’s happening. Louisiana is impacting a lot in America today, so we should make sure that the country knows what Louisiana thinks about Jeff.
Often I’ve been seen as “too much” or “radical” for pushing for us to take care of ALL THE PEOPLE of Louisiana. Jeff out here chasing new states and hasn’t fixed ours. Conservatives keep failing us. Louisiana can do better than our current set of leaders.

Dear Undrafted Free agents,
I know this isn’t what you wanted. These moments aren’t the ones you dreamed of. You’ve dreamt of being the number 1 pick, hearing your name called by the commissioner, getting that phone call from your new head coach asking if your ready to fulfill your nfl dream… well that wasn’t meant to be your story.
You balled in college, you were one of the best players on your team but still the phone didn’t ring.
Your story doesn’t have to end here. You still have others chapters, You just need to remember, you are your own author. You can still make a team, win a Super Bowl, maybe you won’t be a hall of famer, but you can star in a lot of Hall of fame stories.
They need you. in fact, They’re more of us than there are first rounders. You just have to believe in you. Wipe the tears, flip the page and get back to the drawing board. It’s time to get a damn job. You never know you may look back 22 years from now and be on a stage, with people who were actually drafted themselves, yet, you’ve done so much along the way, that no one remembers that you didn’t get that call this weekend… your clock starts now… Even if it didn’t go the way you wanted. You got this. I look forward to telling your story… see y’all on the other side.
Undrafted Free Agent,
Ryan Clark
@HisfavoriteTing A ton of people went to Houston for the Saints game instead of voting. We should encourage one another to sign up for absentee voting. That way e can mail in ballots and our votes will still count.
