My book "The Crime Without a Name: Ethnocide and the Erasure of Culture in America" is published today! This is an incredible feeling. I'm struggling to find the words to express my feelings. You can buy it everywhere thecrimewithoutaname.com @CounterpointLLC @penguinrandom

I've seen enough. I'm calling it. Scott Colom will be Mississippi's first Black senator since Reconstruction.
And with this, the Democrats have rewritten our national electoral strategy running right through the South.

Important folks know the backstory of this ad. My twin brother, Andrew Robert Colom, @andrewcolom, wrote, directed, and produced this ad, and starred alongside me in it. (He's not AI). 😂
Kayland Partee (@KaylandPartee) did the cinematographer and helped with a lot of my great content. These 2 are another example of the awesome talent from and in the Sip!

Louisiana’s Jamie Davis lost by less than 2 points.
Yet he was the only Democratic candidate in a close Senate race to get $0 in national ad money.

Thank you, Florida.
We didn’t get the result we fought for tonight. I’m not going to pretend that it doesn’t hurt.
But I want y’all to hear me. What we built together is REAL. Every door you knocked, every call you made, every dollar you gave and every friend you brought to the polls proved that working people in this state are ready for something better.
That movement isn’t going anywhere, and neither am I.
The fight continues.
Love, Angie 💗

One big question that is starting to emerge tonight.. did national Democrats miss a massive opportunity to invest in Florida?

Imagine if anyone in Democratic leadership had lifted a finger to help Angie Nixon in Florida.

Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.
He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

Complete cultural victory for DC.
DoorDash says it is pulling its support for a Republican bill in Congress that would have limited D.C.’s ability to write its own tax laws, walking back a position that angered the city’s elected officials and prompted widespread calls for residents to boycott the service.

The most consistent theme of conservatism is being completely unable/unwilling to understand how a thing is bad until it happens to you.
Milo Yiannopoulos: "I didn't really understand the physical reality of how institutionalized the brutality is in America. The manner in which they arrest you, they put you in manacles, everybody is arrested like an MS 13 gang member.
It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

To save America, we need to amend the Constitution and continue the spirit and ideals of Reconstruction. We just draft a 28th Amendment. Check it out. open.substack.com/pub/therec…

Amistad means “friendship” in Spanish. Crazy that Europeans named slave shops “The Friendship.”
Happy Amistad Slave Revolt Day! On this day in 1839, a rice farmer named Sengbe Pieh—also known as Joseph Cinqué—led the African captives aboard the slave ship La Amistad in a revolt, breaking free from their chains and seizing the ship. Let’s get into some slave resistance!
