1/3 Democrat Scott Colom will become Mississippi’s first Black U.S. senator since 1881, following his projected victory over Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith.

Mississippi’s last Black senator was Blanche K. Bruce, who served from 1875 to 1881.

3/3 Revels and Bruce were chosen by the state legislature, before the constitutional change establishing direct Senate elections. He is also the first Democrat elected to the Senate from Mississippi since 1982.

2/3 Before him, Hiram Revels served from 1870 to 1871 as the first Black senator in U.S. history.

Colom will be the third Black senator to represent Mississippi, and the first elected directly by voters.

@GeoRebekah @RepNancyMace Somehow, I think I care less than not caring...

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan No biggie. I fact-check everything I see interesting any more and it's amazing how many items are stale - but presented as "BREAKING." 🙃

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan Yeah, I got lost with all the flip flops. DOJ can request ballot segregation, but the ruling doesn’t force states to comply.

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@GeoRebekah @SpeakerPelosi Agreed. We need someone capable of doing more than expressing concern (see Susan Collins) or writing letters.

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@GeoRebekah @PabloReports I'm guessing they'll express "concerns" next.

@GeoRebekah From the frontlines of human rights to environmental justice and global policy—thank you for your vital, tireless work.

@VivienDuzan True story

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan Relying on a single private contractor to "protect elections" is a national security nightmare. Musk already proved in Ukraine he will cut off Starlink access on a whim. Giving a partisan billionaire control over polling infrastructure invites interference.

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan A "morally binding" AI pact with no penalties or statutory teeth is just letting tech giants grade their own homework. You cannot rely on boardroom oversight to stop a multi-trillion-dollar race—history from Theranos to the 2008 crash proves corporate self-policing fails.

@VivienDuzan ... or rise up and start kicking some butt! 🙃

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan I did an immediate face-palm when I saw that post. 🤦‍♂️Good call pointing out it's nonsense. 🎉

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan 😅😂

[Samuel W. Warde is on Blsky 😜 @SamWardeWriter]

@VivienDuzan I wasn't correcting you. I was remarking on the original post -- which, basically, makes you double-correct. :-)

@VivienDuzan @BiondiniCesar Milei wants to be Trump when he grows up. He's like "Mini Me" from the Austin Powers movies.
