: The state tried to execute her. She survived. Can they legally try again? 👀👀

She survived a lethal injection. Now what?

Tennessee attempted to execute Christa Pike. Two doses of the ex*****on drug were administered, and she survived.

Now comes the constitutional question: Can the state try again, or would a second attempt violate the Eighth Amendment’s prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment?

The Supreme Court has addressed failed ex*****ons before. But the facts of this case raise interesting legal questions.

: Stop assigning blame. Start asking the legal questions

One-year-old Kohen Wiley was killed by a police officer, and Mississippi ruled the shooting justified.

But the newly released body-camera footage raises serious questions.

Was every shot objectively reasonable? Were other potential criminal charges considered? And where is the detailed explanation for the Attorney General’s decision?

Blaming Kohen’s mother doesn’t answer those questions. Don’t lose sight of the baby while you’re busy assigning blame.

: CMPD Officer Names Released: What Happens Next? 👀

CMPD released the names, but that’s not the end of the story.

Seven officers identified. Five resignations. Two still facing termination proceedings.

The investigation addressed individual traffic stops, but questions remain about the scope of that review and the long-term plan to rebuild community trust.

Transparency is an important step. So are continued answers, engagement, and accountability. Share and follow for more.

🎤🗳️ Young voters are showing up — but do they believe their votes can bring real change? 👀

After students from NC A&T and UNC Greensboro marched to the polls despite losing campus voting locations, I asked former Governor Roy Cooper about the energy, awareness, and skepticism of younger voters.

💬 His perspective adds to an important conversation about youth engagement and the power of their voices.

🎬 Part 2 snippet of my one-on-one interview!

🔥 Full interview drops Monday! Stay tuned!

“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!

: 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?

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. 💛🦁✨
