Spending my birthday thinking about who would be on the board for black excellence. Pick your 7. For me, so far: Jay Z, Oprah, Robert F. Smith, Michelle Obama, Lebron, Ta-Nehisi Coates, & @DeionSanders. #ibelieve
You need 5 million votes to win in Texas. In Mississippi, you need 400,000. In Louisiana, 750,000–800,000.
If 80–90% of Black voters already support Democrats, why not invest where the population is smaller and the path to victory is clearer?
When I ran for Senate, I raised $1.4 million against John Kennedy’s $40 million and still outperformed the white Democrat backed by the governor. Imagine what happens if real resources met real strategy in the Deep South.
This isn’t theory — it’s math. And the Democratic Party keeps ignoring it.
Great convo with @JoyAnnReid — watch the full segment on her YouTube. Follow @scott_colom running for the U.S. Senate in Mississippi.
It’s not personal to me. As a Christian, I forgive Sen. Hyde-Smith for stopping my judicial nomination.
As a Mississippian, I’m just frustrated that she votes against the best interests of our state based on what people like Ted Cruz tell her in D.C.
So the principal of Brighton High School BANNED the Memphis Central High School band from performing at their game because they play “too loud”? Little did he know he was dealing with a @SonicBoomOTS alumni. The band showed up anyway and played kazoos. AND Central won the game.
"If a Democrat got within 24,000 votes of winning the governorship in Texas, we'd be talking about Texas as a purple state." —@scott_colom 💯
I could say some stuff about why Mississippi is treated differently, but I will just bite my tongue for now.
Our commitment to justice and equality is unwavering — and it’s stronger because of allies like you.
This #GivingTuesday, help us keep advancing by donating to the @NAACP and doubling your impact. Together, we can push forward.

The good thing about all the finger pointing at Jay Z for the Lil Wayne snub for the SB is were definitely going to get a verse responding to it ALL. That’s always how HOV’s moved.
We’ve given y’all a break (😂), but we really want to hit 10K followers this week. If you think Mississippi is a place that the voice of Democrats should be heard, help us out with a follow and retweet this! The Republicans and their boss Trump have had the mic long enough in MS!
I'm thrilled to be uniting most of the institutions in my district to provide them with tools and information on civic engagement. It's important to educate in every area, otherwise the struggles of our predecessors would have been in vain. Education is key to advancement!
The @msdemocrats are too accustomed to letting him get away with it.
Tate knows state media outlets rush stories out when releases come from official sources. Democrats need a media strategy both for putting stories out and for responding. @RepRJohnson@SenDTSimmons
Trump's criminal convictions don't make me happy because they are contrary to my principles—they're a tangled web of overbreadth, victimless punishment, procedural injustice, and selective prosecution.
Celebrating these convictions is a bad day for Democrats.
@dissectpodcast@charlesxholmes@doxellis Part 1 was so BIASED. Just straight Drizzy hate & K-Dot love fest. Also, dude is a vulture. Stop eating off the culture.
Perhaps the contract extension last year made letting Sam go impossible for @zacselmon but all these departures are why I said we should. It’s clear Sam is in over his head. The departures of the coaches & players show it.
I pray the glory days return one day.
I’ll say what many may be scared to accept. Sam is a bust. Nice guy. Decent recruiter. Not a head coach.
Novak did better with a lot less talent.
@zacselmon, please move on before it’s too late and we are back in the dark years. Go get @CoachTReed. She’s a proven winner.
Happy Paperback Pub Day to EMOTIONAL LABOR by @rosehackman!
Rose Hackman takes a deep dive into the invisible, uncompensated work women perform every day, illustrating the importance of recognizing its value and sharing its responsibility.

That could very well close the book on MSU's tournament chances though they'll have to wait another week to find out.
If so, State finished the year 1-6 and they were outscored by an average of 13 pt. Five losses by double digits, three against teams with a losing SEC record.
