Justice for George Floyd isn’t done. ✊🏾🖤 We witnessed a man beg for his life. We marched. We organized. We pushed companies, institutions, and governments to acknowledge what we already knew: systemic racism kills. But five years later, those same systems are pushing back—with

Hope is alive—but it’s nothing without action. ✊🏾 When I spoke with CNN, I told them something I truly believe: I am still hopeful. Despite the chaos. Despite Trump and the MAGA movement working to erase progress. Despite the rollbacks, the bans, the silence from those who

THROWBACK to a story that still moves me. 🥰 On ‘Diva Defined’ with Sheryl Lee Ralph, I shared how my son Marty, who has autism, gave the most beautiful tribute at his grandfather’s funeral. I worried he wouldn’t be understood—but he blew us all away. The church stood up for him.

Trump’s latest pardons expose a brutal truth: The law only applies to the powerless. If you defraud banks like the Chrisleys—or misuse tax money like Walczak—but have the right political ties? You're untouchable.

Musk helped slash public service jobs thinking he was leading reform. Now he’s “disappointed” in Trump’s massive spending bill? Buddy, it was never about budgets. It was about clearing the way for authoritarian rule—and you were the eager intern who brought the ax.

Coercion is the keyword. 🛑 On CNN, I broke down how—even without physical violence—a threat alone can help build the sex trafficking case against Sean “Diddy” Combs under the Mann Act. The law doesn’t require physical force; it recognizes manipulation, intimidation, and control

You can’t claim to fiercely represent your clients while caving to political pressure. Law firms that folded to Trump didn’t just lose credibility—they lost trust. Now, predictably, they’re losing business and top talent. on.wsj.com/43sbnI9

Give it up for my sister in this fight, Congresswoman Lateefah Simon (Rep. Lateefah Simon)! 👏🏽 She’s bold, brilliant, and unapologetically for the people. Today’s meeting? Powerful. Period. 💪🏽🔥

You have more power than you know. 💫 The power to shift your life’s direction. The power to show up for your community when systems fall short. And the power to create lasting change—not just for you, but for everyone watching what’s possible. 🌟

Diddy’s former assistant gave graphic, emotional testimony—but the legal fight is just beginning. I joined WGN TV News to break down what’s coming in the weeks ahead.

They buried the story—but the people kept it alive. 🕊️✊🏽 For over 100 years, descendants of the Tulsa Race Massacre have demanded that their stories be heard and their losses be acknowledged. This reparations package isn’t a gift—it’s a response to stolen homes, stolen wealth,

Shoutout to Newark Mayor Ras J. Baraka for refusing to be intimidated—and suing Trump’s handpicked prosecutor for weaponizing the law. 💪🏽 And BIG props to my friend, attorney Nancy Erika Smith, for making sure this fight lands in a courtroom. Justice is coming. ⚖️

Removing Harvey Milk’s name is meant to break our spirit. But instead, it reminds us of what we’re up against — and why we can’t stop. The fight for civil rights didn’t end with Harvey Milk. It continues with us. 🏳️‍🌈✊🏽

Young. Black. Progressive. Elected in South Carolina. Don’t tell me the base is disengaged—we’re evolving. Congrats to Keishan Scott on a bold victory that proves change is coming from the ground up. ✊🏾🔥

No sirens. No power. Just panic. 🆘 On May 16, a tornado tore through North St. Louis with terrifying force—packing winds up to 152 miles per hour and leaving five people dead. Carla and her son took shelter in their basement as debris slammed into their home. On The Special

North St. Louis is still reeling. 🚨 When the tornado hit North St. Louis on May 16th, it devastated a predominantly Black community long overlooked by government systems. Carla’s house survived—but many others weren’t so lucky. 💔 On The Special Report, she shares the

Aid stalled—while families in crisis. 💔On The Special Report, I talk with Former St. Louis Mayor Tishaura O. Jones (she/her) about Trump’s administration dragging its feet on disaster relief after a devastating tornado tore through North St. Louis. Families are sleeping in tents—while the ones

Another victim steps forward. Another sickening account of Diddy’s abuse. 💔 No woman should EVER be used, coerced, controlled, or silenced. I applaud Jane’s courage—and demand justice for her and all survivors. bit.ly/43OD8t7
