Kentucky HBCU Threatened

A promoter in Seattle was caught RED-HANDED covering a Black Lives Matter mural of Rahwa Habte with concert posters. Local community member (and our guest for today), Omari Salisbury, confronted him in a video that’s since gone viral. 

 

Our host, Angela Rye, will talk to Omari about the confrontation, and why seeing Rahwa’s mural covered struck such a nerve, as part of the larger gentrification happening in his neighborhood. 

 

Check out the original video: https://www.instagram.com/reels/DWcPlQcAXgl/\

 

PLUS a state senate bill in Kentucky is threatening to end Kentucky State University as we know it, the state's only public HBCU. Kentucky senate candidate Charles Booker will join us to discuss this evolving situation.

How Does ICE Impact Black Americans?

ICE at the Polls

Our very own Andrew Gillum hosts a town hall with Black mayors to discuss how local leaders are responding to federal actions (and inactions), and what protections cities are able to provide to their residents.

Federal law enforcement actions are ramping up within our cities, directly impacting Black and immigrant communities. Residents are looking to mayors for leadership and protection while cities face legal constraints, political pressure, and public scrutiny. 

The Mayors will speak candidly about what local power truly looks like in practice, where their power starts and ends, and what strategies are currently in use. 

Guests Include: 

Mayor Frank Scott of Little Rock, AR

Mayor Van Johnson of Savannah, GA

Mayor Leonardo Williams of Durham, NC

Black Mayors Roundtable: Protecting Our Cities from Federal Overreach

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/e8aa40c8-852d-40b8-9512-b41d01614cc9/transcript

California Sheriff, and candidate for governor, Chad Bianco, is chasing clout with Republican voters by launching a phony investigation into California’s 2025 election. He’s confiscated more than 500K ballots from his own Riverside county.   

 

California’s 2025 election saw the passage of Prop 50, which redrew electoral maps in Democrats favor. The Sheriff says the confiscated ballots will show vote-count discrepancies. More likely, all they will show is how normalized undermining democracy has become amongst Republican candidates chasing viral fame. 

 

Join hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers, along with guest-host Cari Champion, for this segment from episode #124 that aired on 03-26-26

Solange’s son Julez Smith (21) was seen in a social media post on a date with reality star Tommie Lee (41). It has revived an age-old conversation: how young is too young? Is it any different for young men dating older women than vice-versa?
