5.18.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Voting Rights Siege. Kemp Redistricting Push. Keisha Lance Bottoms Gov Bid. ICE Agent Charged The Supreme Court has instructed lower courts to revisit a pair of cases concerning whether private individuals and groups can sue to enforce a key provision of the Voting Rights Act that prohibits discriminatory voting practices. We'll be speaking with Georgia Congresswoman Nikema Williams about Governor Brian Kemp's decision to call a special session to redraw the state's political maps ahead of the 2028 election. Keisha Lance Bottoms is running for Georgia Governor, and she'll join us to discuss her campaign. An ICE agent has been charged with several counts of assault related to a Minneapolis shooting incident involving two Venezuelan immigrants. We'll also show you how Houston honored the late Sheila Jackson Lee at George Bush Intercontinental Airport. And we have a recap of Saturday's "All Roads Lead to the South" rally.

Trump, GOP, and The US Supreme Court Judges do NOT represent "We the People!" We need CHANGE in Leaders, Politicians and Judges who are NOT corrupt! We need All GOParty corrupted members to be voted OUT of US OFFICE!

People also need to care about local issues. And if their representatives are representing 300 mi of area that are not contiguous, then how are they supposed to coordinate and organize and ensure that their constituents are being heard. This is why we need independent redistricting for local purposes. Look at Memphis and what they did to Memphis. That makes absolutely no sense when we take race out of it. It's about local issues. I don't know if maybe that's an approach we can take to this.

Kentucky resident here, and voting when I get off today! The commonwealth here isn’t focused on this race as much as they are focused on November! Our people need support here because our people largely don’t care here! Please send intellectual help!
