Got my nails done at a black nail salon in Charleston. This was the first walk-in nail appointment in my life where the nail tech educated me on the different types of gels and what will keep my nails healthy. #polishedbyTrell
Two days of early voting are done in Louisiana.
Only 10,000 of the state’s 925,000 Black voters have shown up so far. That means more than 915,000 Black voters still can go do your part and vote.
Republicans are leading Democrats in early voting 22,000 to 14,000.
If you live in East Baton Rouge Parish, vote YES for the Council on Aging and YES for our libraries. In the Senate runoff, go vote for Jamie Davis.
Don’t tell me you’re paying attention if you aren’t participating.
Text 10 people and go vote.

They called it the “One Big Beautiful Bill”.
The popular ACA tax credits expired. Your premiums have quadrupled. And your $20 office visit copay became $60.
It's not beautiful, and Illinois families are feeling the costly effects of this Republican failure.

For 26 years, her killer had a name… but she didn’t.
16-year-old Tiffany Bradley from Allentown, Pennsylvania, was trafficked into the Boston area. She was murdered by Eugene McCollom in his room at the Lynn YMCA. He strangled her, decapitated and dismembered her body, dumped her torso in a Chelsea parking lot, and buried her head and hands at Nahant Beach.
For over two decades she was known only as “Chelsea Jane Doe.” McCollom even lied to police, calling her “Lisa,” an adult from Philadelphia.
Her family reported her missing in November 2000 and never gave up hope. This week in 2026, thanks to DNA and genetic genealogy, Tiffany finally has her name back.
She was a daughter, a niece, a cousin, a basketball player — a child who deserved to grow up.
Say her name: Tiffany Bradley. 💔
Rest in peace, sweet girl. 🙏
Tessa Thompson: As a Black American, there is a kind of bone-tired exhaustion in fighting the battles that we have fought so many times before, and insisting time and time again, generation after generation, that people have the right to exist even if they speak out against the state.
