@typinkins.bsky.social shares what he’s heard across all 82 Mississippi counties, where voters are rejecting “the same two parties saying the same things.” A Black combat veteran and Delta native, he’s emerging as a serious challenge to an entrenched MAGA incumbent.

Why is @mississippitoday.org, which is supposed to be a nonprofit newsroom, working so hard to erase Independents from the conversation?
They won’t host debates. They crown candidates before a single vote is cast. And they ignore the fastest-growing voting bloc in America. I'm calling it out.

Hi guys in Mississippi. Pinkins running as an Independent cuz the D party machine treated him like, well, you know. He's got good ideas and believe he's not taking PAC money. I applaud him for leaving the D party to run as an I. Visit his website and look for him in your state and go chat with him.
I’m officially on the ballot for U.S. Senate in 2026 — as an Independent.
Not because of a party machine. Not because of big donors. But because of over 1,000 Mississippians who believed enough to sign a petition... and hand me a shot.

Pinkins shares his compelling personal journey from the cotton fields to the campaign trail, discusses the failures of both parties, and lays out why Mississippi—and America—need true independent voices now more than ever.
And why independents can win where Democrats (and Republicans) can’t.

Let’s say the quiet part out loud: If the men who raped and trafficked underage girls weren’t rich and powerful, they’d already be locked up
This isn’t just about Jeffrey Epstein. He is but the tip of a much bigger blade, forged by wealth, protected by power, and sharpened by silence.

When the Powerful Rape, They Walk. When the Powerless Speak, They’re Silenced.
