    1.28.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: FBI Probes Georgia Election Office. GOP Cuts HBCU Voting. Judge Blocks Va. Map. AOC Takes on CVS. The FBI has searched a Georgia election office for evidence to support former President Trump's false claims that his 2020 election defeat was due to widespread voting fraud. In North Carolina, Republicans have reduced the number of voting sites at the nation's largest historically Black college and university, prompting students to file a lawsuit. In Virginia, a judge has blocked lawmakers' pro-Democratic voting map. We'll also bring you the results of a new poll revealing what issues matter most to Virginians. It seems that local and state police agencies are on a collision course with ICE agents.

In tonight's segment of Crocket Chronicles, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett will call out racial profiling, ICE overreach, and a government that continues to treat cruelty as policy.

    Crockett Senate Poll Questioned. Black Woman Fights Disenfranchisement. Assault on Black History.

    1.16.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Crockett Senate Poll Questioned. Black Woman Fights Disenfranchisement. Assault on Black History. A recent Emerson College poll in the Texas Senate primary is raising questions, with critics challenging its results. More on that ahead. Tennessee activist Pamela Moses is challenging the state's permanent disenfranchisement laws after she was charged and convicted of voter fraud. Moses eventually had the charges dropped. She and her attorney will be here to talk about the upcoming case. Another example of Black history being erased -- Frederick Douglass excluded from a U.S coin series honoring America's most celebrated leaders. Texas A&M University canceled a graduate Ethics course after a Black professor refused to comply with a discriminatory ban on certain subjects. We'll hear from him later.  #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://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.

    MLK’s Warning Comes Alive. ICE Terror in Minneapolis. Crockett Sets Jan. 6 Straight.

    1.15.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: MLK’s Warning Comes Alive. ICE Terror in Minneapolis. Trump Chaos Mounts. Crockett Sets Jan. 6 Straight. Tonight, as we head into the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend, the America Dr. King warned us about is on full display. Minnesota is currently under fire. Secretary Kristi Noem defends ICE as they intimidate residents. Immigration Attorney Yesenia Planco will join later with advice on what to do if stopped by ICE. And, speaking of ICE. A recent poll by CNN shows that America is afraid of ICE, and they aren't making cities feel safer. On Monday, a Minneapolis councilman feared for his life as ICE agents assaulted him for recording them, and just two days later, an ICE raid in the same city led to a second shooting of a man on Wednesday, following protestors and tear gas. We'll be covering it all. Trump's second term is already producing more chaos and corruption than the first, and the damage is compounding fast. The Center for American Progress is tracking it all with its new Trump Global Weakness Watch--and the senior vice president joins us to break it down. And, to add more injury, the Trump administration is laying off employees who are part of a civil rights agency founded in the 1960s with the U.S Department of Justice. While maga is trying to rewirte the history of January 6, Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett sets the record straight.  #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://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.

    Day of Truth Boycott vs. Trump. Africa-Targeted Visa Freeze. White Nationalist Agenda Exposed.

    1.14.2026 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Day of Truth Boycott vs. Trump. Africa-Targeted Visa Freeze. White Nationalist Agenda Exposed. Minneapolis faith leaders and community activists are calling for a Day of Truth and Freedom boycott in response to Trump's Operation Metro Surge.  I'll talk to one of the organizers about how boycotting work, schools, and shopping will help bring awareness. In an effort to maintain a predominantly white America, the Trump administration is pausing immigrant visa processing for 75 countries. I talk to an expert about this sweeping move, which is primarily targeted at African countries. The Trump administration has launched a campaign across various departments that utilizes images and ideas borrowed from right-wing and white nationalist circles. Heckling the convict-in-chief not only results in being flipped off by the orange man, but it can also lead to suspension. The Senate honors gospel icon Richard Smallwood.    #BlackStarNetwork partner: Fanbasehttps://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.
