5.6.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: DeSantis Map Sued in Florida. Tennessee Targets Black District. FBI Raids Louise Lucas Florida Democrats are suing over the congressional map that Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law. I will speak with the founder of the organization that filed the lawsuit. Tennessee's proposed map splits the state's 9th Congressional District and divides the only majority-Black congressional seat in Memphis. I will talk to two Tennessee lawmakers about this illegal gerrymandering effort. The FBI has executed a search warrant on the offices and business of Virginia lawmaker Louise Lucas, who led the state's redistricting effort. We will examine a new report highlighting that Tarrant County, Texas, sentences Black individuals to death at a disproportionate rate. A Black pastor claims he knows the real reason Christians disapprove of the twice-impeached, criminally convicted felon-in-chief, Donald "The Con" Trump. You will not believe his reasoning. And we will pay tribute to former Oklahoma State Representative and civil rights leader Don Ross. Download the Black Star Network app at http://www.blackstarnetwork.com!

This video should be shared across the country and around the world on every podcast in America because, Trump is vigorously coming after the snap programs while we are distracted

Thank you for saying we at war. Our people always wanna say we gonna pray. Thank you for saying it’s about more than thoughts and prayers!!!! We are at war and we need battlefield tactics. That’s why the people on the streets are frustrated with democrats, because they wanna always take the high road!!! Enough of that!!! If they go low, we must go lower!!! Start playing offense!!!!
