MAULED BY POLICE K-9
On January 5th, DeAndre Givhan says he was beaten during a traffic stop by Grand Rapids Police after his tires were spiked and a K 9 was deployed. Look at his face Look at the scars This is the same department involved in the killing of Daquan Trey Johnson. How many incidents does it take before there is real accountability? Release the full body cam footage from January 5. Release the K 9 deployment records. Release the truth. The community deserves transparency. Black men d

Remembering Malcolm X
Today I honor my spiritual father, Malcolm X. 🖤 His courage, his fire, his discipline, and his unapologetic love for Black people shaped generations including me. He taught us to think for ourselves, to stand on truth, and to defend our dignity by any means necessary. February 21 is not just a date. It is a reminder. A reminder that our voices matter. Our lives matter. Our liberation matters. I’m asking everyone to pause today and remember Brother Malcolm. Study him. Quote h

ENOUGH DELAYS
Ella Goodie has been gone too long. If it has been stated that her location is known, then why is her family still waiting? Why are her remains not home? Why is this taking so long? A grieving family should not have to beg for closure. If information has been provided, then law enforcement must act with urgency. Delays only deepen the pain. Silence only increases questions. Enough excuses. Enough waiting. Enough heartbreak. It is time to bring Ella Goodie home to her family.

Rest In Paradise Reverend Jesse Jackson
Rest in Paradise to a giant in the fight for justice. Rainbow PUSH Coalition was where I first learned that activism is not just emotion, it’s strategy, unity, and commitment. That experience helped mold the activist I am today. Thank you for opening doors and setting an example of leadership, courage, and consistency. The work continues. ✊🏾🕊️ #JesseJackson #mscelinacharles #purposedforthepeople

THIS IS NOT JUSTICE
Read this carefully. This is the State’s Omnibus Opposition filed by ADA Lance Beal in Dwight Celestine’s case. Instead of addressing Brady violations, discovery failures, and conflicts of interest, the State labels Dwight’s motions as “frivolous” and accuses him of delaying the process. Let’s be clear. Dwight has been asking for discovery on an amended bill. His court appointed attorney refused to adopt or argue his motions. A motion questioning Dwight’s competency was filed

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
This is Dwight Celestine’s court appointed attorney Jarvis Claiborne. On the record, Mr. Claiborne told the court he would not adopt or argue any motions Dwight filed, even motions requesting discovery for a newly amended bill. He admitted Dwight asked him over a month earlier to file for discovery and he did not do it. Instead, without Dwight’s consent, he filed a motion claiming Dwight was incompetent and requested a sanity commission, while simultaneously stating in open c

ILLEGAL 15JDC RAILROADING
⛔️⛔️ TOP OF THE MORNING On January 29, 2026 ADA Lance Beal the prosecutor admitted on the record that the State amended the charge against Dwight Celestine and said: “There is no different discovery. The State just amended the charge more appropriately.” Let that sink in. How can a charge be changed years later and the State claim nothing new is required? A different charge means different elements. Different elements require different proof. Different proof requires disclosu

DELAYED MEDICAL ATTENTION
When Jaiondrick Lovely told law enforcement that he had been shot and needed medical attention, that should have triggered immediate aid once the scene was safe. Minutes matter. Bleeding control matters. Delay can be deadly. We are asking for transparency and accountability. The public deserves to know when medical aid was requested, when it was provided, and whether proper protocols were followed. This is not about opinions or assumptions. It is about duty, procedure, and hu
