Description

10.13.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Jailed Black Mailman’s Death Sparks Lawsuit, Day 14 Shutdown Pain, Crockett vs GOP, NOLA Makes History A Minnesota police department and county are being accused of ignoring clear signs of a medical emergency involving a jailed Black mailman, which ultimately led to his death. We'll be speaking with one of the attorneys who filed the wrongful death lawsuit for Kingsley Bimpong. Today marks day 14 of the government shutdown, with no end in sight. Over 4,000 federal employees have lost their jobs, while those who have the power to stop the shutdown continue to receive their paychecks. In today's Crockett Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett calls out Republican hypocrisy during a heated House hearing. She surprisingly admits that she and Marjorie Taylor Greene actually share similar views on healthcare. New Orleans elects its first Latino Mayor. Houston's historic 18th Congressional District is currently without representation following the passing of both Sheila Jackson Lee and her successor, Sylvester Turner. We'll talk with one of the candidates vying to fill that seat. A small town in Mississippi has taken on a UK-based company and emerged victorious. Residents of Gloster claim that DRAX wants to increase pollution from its wood pellet plant in their town. We'll speak with a community organizer fighting to keep the air clean. #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbase https://www.startengine.com/offering/fanbase This Reg A+ offering is made available through StartEngine Primary, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC.  This investment is speculative, illiquid, and involves a high degree of risk, including the possible loss of your entire investment.

Thank You Roland, if it were not for you I would not know about either story regarding the deceased mailman or the Black woman detained and brutally arrested by the racist cop. Yes, that was an upside down flag on his watch....I noticed it immediately. The children and staff that had to endure the trauma of this event was wrong. We, Black people, truly need to grow your network. Information is power and your network is powerful!!❤🖤💚
