Lela Moser just made history as the first Black valedictorian in Scottsboro High School’s 113 year history. 🎓
With a 4.45 GPA, she graduated at the top of the Class of 2026, delivered the valedictory address, and earned the prestigious Balfour Award — the school’s highest non-academic honor for a senior. A seven-time Alabama state track & field champion, she helped her 4x400m relay team set a new state record of 3:59.08 while breaking multiple school records along the way. She was named one of Alabama’s 52 Bryant-Jordan Scholar-Athletes, she also received the Auburn Football Letterman Club Scholarship and was accepted into Auburn University’s Samuel L. Ginn College of Engineering as a Ginn Scholar with a full-ride scholarship covering tuition, fees, room and board for up to 5 years.
She served as President of the National Honor Society and Interact Club, VP of Student Government and Beta Club, member of Junior Civitan, was crowned Prom Queen, and earned 29+ academic cords.
Proud to see this level of excellence break new ground. Congratulations, Lela, what a legacy! 👏🏾
one of my homies today asked me to imagine what jameis might say to dart about all this. i said “anything is on the board.”
here’s the board. as you can see, i was correct.
New York City just made history. 🗽
Proud of my friend @EdwinRaymondNYC 🙏🏾
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has appointed Edwin Raymond, former NYPD Lieutenant, whistleblower, and author of An Inconvenient Cop, as the new Sheriff of New York City.
Edwin Raymond didn’t just survive the system. He fought it from the inside. He led the largest civil rights lawsuit in NYPD history challenging illegal arrest quotas. He exposed racial profiling when it was career suicide to do so. And he wrote the book — literally — on what real accountability in policing looks like.
Now he’s running the office.
This is what it looks like when a mayor chooses justice over politics. Mayor Mamdani called him “principled, courageous and deeply committed to justice” and the record backs every word of that.
The city is watching. The country is watching. And for once, the right person is in the room. 👊🏾

Omygoooooooodnesss!!!!! WHY have i never seen this before?!? What an awesome idea!!!
Can you imagine as a prerequisite all seniors choose a kindergartners to mentor and teach....... teaching the seniors patience and pride, and the kindergartners have someone to look up to ( not in their family)
And when the seniors graduate, the kindergartners will graduate with them (into first grade)
That would be an AWESOME program!
LeBron James:
🔸 23 years in the NBA
🔸 Billionaire status
🔸 Access to every possible temptation, yet no scandals
🔸 No DUIs
🔸 No drug issues
🔸 No failed PED tests
🔸 No arrests
🔸 No gambling controversies or debts
🔸 No paternity disputes
🔸 No involvement in gun incidents
🔸 No courtroom drama
🔸 No public cheating scandals
🔸 Married to his high school sweetheart
🔸 Consistently respected the game
🔸 Maintains elite conditioning year-round
A model of consistency—as a husband, father, athlete, and businessman.
For over two decades, critics have searched for flaws and tried to tear him down from every angle, but nothing has stuck. Even his family hasn’t been spared from scrutiny.
Now, after all that sustained excellence, he simply says he doesn’t enjoy visiting Memphis—and suddenly it becomes a controversy?
Meanwhile, numerous other NBA players have said the same thing publicly, and even Stephen A. Smith once criticized the city on national TV.
Yet somehow, this minor comment is being used to question LeBron’s character.
Come on.
"A lie told once is questioned. A lie repeated often enough becomes accepted. And once it becomes 'common sense,' people stop investigating it. That is how deception survives."
