I found a Black American Owned Beauty Manufacturing Company that we should all support and lock in with🔥🔥🔥
CMO of mSEED Group, the largest Black, woman-owned contract manufacturing facility in the U.S.
There’s no more excuses‼️
This is ABUSE. The President called ABC’s Rachel Scott a “horror show,” and “a disgrace to our country,” for asking ONE fair question about gas prices and the Iran war. Abby Phillip. April Ryan. Yamiche Alcindor & Rachel Scott. All experience ABUSE from this man!
Only two weeks ago, Israel and Max Makoka—honor‑roll students and high school basketball players in Mississippi—were detained by ICE on their way to school, taken from their bus stop in front of classmates and friends. Just one day ago, on April 30, 2026, they were released from ICE custody, but they are still fighting their immigration case and trying to stay in the country they’ve been building their lives in as students and athletes.
While the “big” headlines keep jumping from one crisis to the next, this is what immigration enforcement actually looks like right now: Black and brown immigrant teens can be taken from a school bus stop, separated across state lines, and pushed toward deportation over a visa‑status problem tied to a school transfer, even when no crime has been charged. Their school and community helped bring Israel and Max home, but the Makoka brothers’ case is still pending, and they are still fighting for the right to remain in this country.
ICE detain 2 teenage brothers— at high school bus stop.
10 carloads of agents surrounded kids—zip tied them in front of classmates.
15 and 18 year old brothers were then separated—sent to detention centers in different states.
Both were in U.S. legally with F-1 student visas.
ICE claims that their status changed because they transferred from a private to a public school.
Family says they were never alerted that the brothers fell out of status—and had no opportunity to fix the simple paperwork issue.
Israel Makoka and Max Makoka were both featured basketball stars at Hancock High in Diamondhead, Mississippi.

I run a small pizza shop. Deliveries mostly. Late nights. Got a call at 10 PM. Woman’s voice shaking. “Can you deliver to Sunset Motel?” “Yes ma’am. What would you like?” Long pause. “What can I get for six dollars? I have three kids.” Six dollars wouldn’t cover one pizza. “We have a special tonight. Family meal. Three pizzas, breadsticks, drinks. Six dollars.” No such special. She started crying. “Really?” Made the pizzas myself. Added wings. Cookies. Juice boxes. Drove it over.
She opened the door. Bruises on her neck. Three little kids behind her. Terrified. Quiet. “Thank you. You don’t understand.” I did understand. Started happening weekly. She’d call. I’d have a special ready. Month three she didn’t call anymore. Worried me. Two months later she walked in. Different person. Confident. Had a job. Apartment. Kids looked healthy. Happy. Handed me three hundred dollars. “For all the specials that weren’t real. I knew.” Tried to refuse. “Please. Let me pay forward.” That money started a fund. When someone calls from a shelter or motel desperate, we use it. Six years now. Over a thousand meals delivered. She’s a paralegal. Refers families to us constantly. Works with domestic violence survivors. Her oldest is in high school. Works at my shop weekends. “Because you fed us when we were running. Now I want to feed others.” Last Saturday she delivered to a family at that same motel. Came back crying. “That was us five years ago. Now I get to be you.”
I’m a HUGE Frankie Beverly fan and will forever miss him. The CommUnity ATL Choir sang “Before I Let You Go” in celebration of the reopening of National Center for Civil and Human Rights
This is beautiful. This is Black Culture.

South Mississippi is Outraged Over Not Guilty Verdict
Amite County
Yesterday, after only one hour of deliberations, the jury returned a not guilty verdict against Cody Rollinson.
On April 6, 2025, Cody was under the influence when he struck and killed 10 year old Jordan Hill. Cody left the scene of the accident, returning later to retrieve the side mirror that was knocked off his truck.
Jordan was out riding an ATV when the collision occurred.
Rollinson was eventually charged with felony DUI and felony leaving the scene of the accident.
What an absolutely disgraceful injustice.
Original post:

Happy birthday, Daddy. Thank you for being a bold purveyor of true peace. Thank you for living with purpose and for radically lifting the power of love. Thank you for believing that we can defeat injustice without destroying each other. Thank you for your courage and strategic, compassionate action. Thank you for teaching me so much, even now. I remember you today, on your 97th birthday. I remember you always.

Jeff Landry is an embarrassment to the state of Louisiana.
Shawn Wilson could be our governor right now, but too many people hedged, second-guessed, and stayed home—and we ended up with this goober.
Every time a Black leader is on the ballot, I hear all the reasons they’re “not the right one.” That critique comes from Black leaders and white leaders alike. Meanwhile, the math is clear: if Black voter turnout hits just over 60%, there are enough forward-thinking white voters willing to join us to win statewide.
We have to stop doubting whether Black leadership can do better than what we’re watching right now. This is the result of a system where 19% of registered voters get to decide who the governor is because turnout was only 36% statewide. Sixty-four percent of the state said F*** it, and now we’re stuck with a governor more interested in playing colonizer than governing.
This is some of the wildest work I’ve seen yet.
A single sloppy act by law enforcement blew open a whole racket of corruption and triggered a storm of litigation. Imagine if more federal attorneys took this kind of decisive action against local police who operate as if the law doesn’t apply to them.
