“This is bigger than a racist group chat.”

This is bigger than offensive texts that have been unearthed by a group of CMPD officers

If officers were allegedly targeting Black drivers, the legal questions don’t end with discipline.

What happens to the cases they touched?
What about credibility?
What about Giglio disclosures?
And what if that bias showed up in actual police action?

I broke that down today on The Don Lemon Show. Don Lemon

Because an ugly group chat can become a courtroom problem.

: ⚠️⚠️ NC Peeps: NC voters pay attention! 3 amendments are on your ballot
The fine print matters👀

North Carolina — don’t stop at the candidates.

There are three constitutional amendments on your ballot involving voter ID, property taxes, and the state income-tax ceiling.

And some of the biggest questions aren’t obvious from the wording.

What’s actually changing? Who is affected? And what happens once it’s written into the Constitution?

I broke all three down in plain English.

Share this with your NC people before early voting starts — and pull your sample ballot.

; NC Peeps! 🚨 NORTH CAROLINA VOTER TIP!

Missed the registration deadline? Eligible voters can still register and vote at an early voting site in their county.

Bring proof of residence AND acceptable photo ID—they are two separate requirements.

College students and people who recently moved to North Carolina should know about this option, too.

📌 Save this information and share it with someone who may need it!

Check the requirements and locations at NCSBE.gov.

: CMPD Group Chat Scandal: Race, Trust, and Accountability

Public trust doesn’t disappear in a vacuum.

Culture is what people do when they think nobody outside the group chat is watching.

And now the question is whether that culture ever became police action.

: Did the grand jury report help set the stage for this defamation lawsuit?

The grand jury didn’t just return a no true bill.

It also condemned some of the public accusations using unusually pointed language you don’t often see in a grand jury report.

Now three of the men who were with Nolan are suing Terrell Owens for defamation.

Did that language help set the stage for what came next?

: 🛑 So NC peeps…he came to North Carolina… to insult North Carolina? Here’s the receipts.

Come to North Carolina. Call the state violent. Joke about withholding disaster money if voters don’t elect your candidate.

Okay.

Now let’s look at the actual crime numbers, who actually governs this state, and what the law says about FEMA funding.

Because if you’re going to talk about North Carolina, bring receipts.

: 👉🏾👉🏾BREAKING NEWS Supreme Court Blocks New Mail Ballot Rules for 2026 🗳️

The Supreme Court just hit pause on new USPS mail-ballot rules for the 2026 election.

North Carolina ballots are already in the mail, and the Court declined to let the rules change midstream.

Not forever. Not necessarily unconstitutional. But for this election, the existing procedures stay in place.

: He’s not accused of pulling the trigger, so how is he on trial for Tupac’s murder?

Nearly 30 years after Tupac Shakur was killed, a man is finally on trial for his murder—and prosecutors are NOT saying he pulled the trigger.

So how can he still be held legally responsible?

This is Episode 1 of my coverage of the Tupac trial. We’re following the testimony, breaking down the evidence, and explaining what the law actually requires prosecutors to prove.

Share this with somebody following the case. ⚖️

Chapter 52. A whole Leo. 🦁✨

This birthday isn’t about pretending the road has been easy. It’s about honoring the woman who kept walking anyway.

Every challenge refined me. Every blessing reminded me. Every season grew me.

I’m deeply grateful for the family I was born into and the family I chose. My tribe has been my greatest gift—not because they celebrated me last night, but because they choose to show up for me every day.

At 52, I’m not chasing perfection. I’m walking in purpose, leading with gratitude, and embracing every lesson that brought me here.

Here’s to another year of faith, joy, courage, laughter, and living unapologetically.

Cheers to 52. My heart is full. My spirit is grateful. The best is still ahead. 💛🦁✨

🚨 😮 A federal judge didn’t just reject an IRS settlement…she practically set it on fire.

A federal judge just reminded everyone what courts are actually for.

Courts do not exist to create legitimacy. They exist to determine legality.
