18-YEAR-OLD’S BLACK BODY FOUND IN LAKE RAY HUBBARD — 2 WHITE SUSPECTS TOSSED HIS CLOTHES & PHONE AS THEY FLED. 18-year-old Daniel Erving is dead. The only charge is tampering with evidence. Roper deleted every message with Erving because he knew an investigation was coming
Black Rules: Never be the only token black among whites; Never go anywhere as the only black person among whites; to avoid being set up for a crime, never go to a white person's house alone. Always record your interactions, including calls with whites; and stop befriending whites
For America's 250th, I read Frederick Douglass’ speech, “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” on the House floor—for the first time in history.
His speech endures as a mirror & mandate for us all—to confront our inequities while fighting for an America as good as its promise.
This Is Why I Could Never Fuck With This Shit! This Is Who America Has Always Been & Will Continue To Be. This Administration Is Who Has Embolden This Kinda Behavior & Has Become The Poster Child For It! This Administration Ain’t Shit Just Like Joe Rogan & Dana White Ain’t Shit!
Sixty-three years ago today, Medgar Evers returned home to his family only to be met with an assassin's bullet before he could even reach his front door.
The 37-year old father of three, husband, and NAACP leader's life and voice were stolen from us in a senseless act of racial violence.
Today, we honor his courage, his sacrifice, and his unwavering dedication to the fight for justice, equity, and voting rights.

After sentencing, Austin Metcalf’s father Jeff Metcalf went live on TikTok and was caught on a racist rant about Karmelo Anthony, including calling him a “watermelon felon,” saying Black people get “all the free sh*t we give you,” claiming “400 years ago someone sold you to us,” and attacking Black fathers for not being involved in their children’s lives.
This is the same man who stood in that courtroom and said “this was never about race.”
The prosecution struck every qualified Black juror from the panel. A gag order silenced public response for nearly a year. And the moment the muzzle came off, this is who he showed us he was.
Karmelo Anthony did not get a fair trial. And now the victim’s own father has confirmed in his own words what this community has known from the beginning.
