Jasmine Crockett UNLEASHED: Rips GOP Over ICE Raids, $221M Waste, and White Supremacy SILENCE Jun 20, 2025

Show notes

In a blistering congressional hearing, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett dismantled the GOP’s fear tactics, called out their silence on white supremacy, and demanded answers for the $221 million spent on a propaganda ICE operation no one asked for.

🔥 “This is a show for a reality TV president.”
🔥 “Not immigrants — it’s y’all making people unsafe.”
🔥 $221 million wasted on fear, not safety
🔥 ICE raids, Marines in the streets, and silence on real threats

This is what accountability sounds like.

6.17.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: NAACP Sues Musk’s xAI, Emanuel 9 Remembered, League’s Unite & Rise, InBooze Spotlight

The NAACP and the Southern Environmental Law Center have put billionaire Elon Musk's xAI on notice. They plan to file a lawsuit against his Memphis, Tennessee, company over air pollution from the AI startup's data center.

Ten years ago today, the 'Emanuel 9' were murdered in Charleston, South Carolina. We'll talk to a victim's family member about honoring their memory, uplifting their legacy, and reflecting on what's changed and what hasn't since that night shook the soul of America.

Also tonight, a new wave of resistance is rising. The League of Women Voters has launched Unite & Rise 8.5, mobilizing 8.5 million Americans to push back against anti-democratic policies. CEO Celina Stewart is here to break it down and tell you how to plug in.

Black Sheriff DEFIES Florida AG’s ICE Demands — 'We Won’t Snatch Kids From Daycare' Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

Florida’s Attorney General demanded more ICE raids. One Black sheriff stood up — and refused.

🔥 Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony refused to send deputies to help ICE
🔥 “We’re not knocking on doors. We’re not snatching kids from daycare.”
🔥 He shut down demands for dragnet-style enforcement
🔥 He backed his community — not the crackdown

This is what real leadership looks like. A sheriff who serves and protects — not one who obeys unjust orders.

Stunning Travel Ban TARGETED Black Nations — This Was PURE Hate Jun 16, 2025

Show notes

Trump’s travel ban didn’t just target Muslims — it disproportionately hit Black-majority nations across Africa. And the excuses didn’t hold up under scrutiny.

🔥 Roland and Dr. Khan break down the devastating human impact
🔥 Families separated, lives ruined — and for what?
🔥 The so-called “security” policy exposed as raw discrimination
🔥 A warning for what happens when racism gets wrapped in policy

This wasn’t protection. It was punishment — and the receipts are all here.

Grossly Unnecessary! ICE Invasion of California Blows Up in Congress — Hegseth Gets Grilled Jun 15, 2025

Show notes

Members of Congress aren't having it. Trump’s ICE raids and troop deployments in California sparked outrage — and Pete Hegseth got absolutely cooked trying to defend it.

🔥 $134 million spent on ICE and military operations — without California’s consent
🔥 Marines deployed, raids ordered, and a “birthday parade” for Trump?
🔥 Lawmakers torched Hegseth over militarized tactics and taxpayer waste
🔥 California said NO. Trump did it anyway.

This isn’t law and order. It’s an invasion.
