“The Boondocks”

It’s truly never a dull moment when watching “The Boondocks.” The animated series hilariously follows the comedic relationship of the Freeman family: cynical, revolutionary ten-year-old Huey, and his rambunctious younger brother, Riley, who live with their old-school grandfather, Robert “Granddad.” Their move from Chicago to a predominantly white, suburban neighborhood of Woodcrest sets the stage for the show’s brilliant blend of laugh-out-loud moments that occur in American society.

Don Lemon is moving forward with his lawsuit against Elon Musk. This week a San Francisco judge ruled that the former CNN journalist’s lawsuit against Musk and X (formerly known as Twitter) for breach of contract can proceed to trial. In his ruling Judge Harold Kahn declared that Lemon and his legal team plausiby showcased that X and Musk committed “fraud by false promise” and the presence of “an implied contract” in their case, per CNBC. 

“The ruling means Don can hold X and Musk accountable in open court,”Lemon’s attorney, Carney Shegerian, said in a statement to Deadline. “Musk is subject to the legal process, just like everyone else, and that’s important. There’s no question about Musk’s motives and liability, as documented in his own texts and on X for millions to see.” 

In 2024, Lemon launched an exclusive talk show on X. However, shortly after taping the first episode, which featured a tense interview with Musk, Lemon claims Musk terminated his contract via text. In August 2024, he filed a lawsuit against the tech billionaire and his social media platform. In the filing, Lemon claims that Brett Weitz, X’s former head of content, talent and brand sales told him that the platform is “not going to pay him or follow through with the promises and representations made to him because there was no signed agreement, despite Musk previously representing to Lemon that there would be no need for a formal written agreement or to ‘fill out paperwork.’”

While the judge dismissed Lemon’s claims of negligent misrepresentation, defamation, retaliation, negligence, and harassment, he did confirm the journalist’s claims of fraud, misappropriation of name and likeness, and breach of implied contract. Lemon’s lawsuit is only one of many Musk and X face for failing to provide severance after layoffs and non-payment to vendors. 

A date has not been set for the journalist’s case against the Tesla mogul.

Olivia Rodrigo has officially added her voice to the growing chorus of celebrities speaking out on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and she’s not holding back.

In a raw and emotional Instagram story posted Saturday, the Guts singer addressed the suffering of Palestinian civilians with unflinching clarity, writing:

“There are no words to describe the heartbreak I feel witnessing the devastation that is being inflicted upon innocent people in Palestine. Mothers, fathers, and children in Gaza are starving, dehydrated, and being denied access to basic medical care and humanitarian aid.”

Rodrigo continued, calling out the global failure to protect innocent lives:

“There is no child in Israel, Palestine, or anywhere in the world who deserves to suffer through what we’re seeing these children have to endure. It is horrific and completely unacceptable. To give up on them is to give up on our shared humanity.”

The 21-year-old pop phenomenon concluded her statement with a call to action, revealing that she had made a donation to UNICEF USA and encouraged her 36 million followers to do the same:

“I have made a donation to UNICEF to help support the victims of this horrifying situation and encourage you to do the same if you have the means.”

Alongside her statement, Rodrigo included a swipe-up link to the UNICEF USA website, an organization that has been providing humanitarian aid to Palestinian children in Gaza and the West Bank since the early 1980s.

According to UNICEF, their work in the region includes access to clean water and sanitation, education, medical care, psychosocial support, and emergency relief. Since the escalation of the conflict, their staff in Gaza and Jerusalem have been working under dire circumstances to deliver aid and protect children amid what the UN has repeatedly described as “a humanitarian catastrophe.”

A Legacy of Advocacy

This isn’t the first time Rodrigo has taken a bold stance on human rights. Her growing reputation as one of Gen Z’s most socially aware celebrities is rooted in a long list of activism that spans reproductive justice, education access, immigrant rights, and racial justice.

Rodrigo has:

• Advocated for reproductive freedom after the overturning of Roe v. Wade






• Promoted girls’ education and immigrant rights through multiple nonprofit partnerships






• Urged fans to get vaccinated during the COVID-19 pandemic






• Publicly supported the Black Lives Matter movement






• Participated in the viral #NoKings protest against the monarchy in 2025






• Partnered with HeadCount to promote voter registration at her concerts

Now, she’s adding Palestinian children to that list.

Mixed but Powerful Reactions

Rodrigo’s statement immediately lit social media ablaze, sparking praise, criticism, and heartfelt reactions across platforms. Her decision to speak up, while cautiously worded to acknowledge children on both sides of the conflict, received a wide spectrum of responses.

Some fans were moved by her courage:

“Olivia Rodrigo always knew u were the realest bitch in the industry,” one user tweeted.

“I don’t want to hear anyone again speak on Olivia Rodrigo’s name that she isn’t a good person or do anything,” wrote another.

Others, however, criticized the timing and phrasing of her message:

“It’s been a year and a half since Israel began their genocide in Gaza. It’s disappointing that it took Olivia Rodrigo this long to speak out and she still had to mention Israel in her post,” one user commented, reflecting ongoing tensions over celebrity silence and “bothsidesism.”

But many also pointed out the significance of a mainstream American pop star with Rodrigo’s level of fame taking any stance at all:

“Olivia Rodrigo making her humanitarian stance known at her very young age in an industry of so-called activists and bullies. THIS IS THE NEW GENERATION,” one user tweeted emphatically.

How Many People Have Died in Gaza since October 7, 2023?

Information about the number of deaths in the Gaza war varies depending on the source and date of the report. The Gaza Health Ministry, which is administered by Hamas, reports that at least 57,762 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza between October 7, 2023, and July 9, 2025. Independent scholars estimate that 80% of these deaths are civilians.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported a similar toll, citing at least 57,680 deaths over the same period.

When it comes to child casualties, UNICEF stated that more than 14,500 children have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war. The Gaza Ministry of Health places that number even higher, reporting that at least 17,400 children have died in Israeli attacks since October 2023.

Rodrigo’s statement arrives at a moment when silence is no longer an option for public figures with global platforms, especially those idolized by millions of young fans.

July 13, 2025

One Black Texas father is grieving the loss of his whole world after catastrophic flash flooding occurred July 4th weekend. After telling a reporter how he lost his wife and son in a TV interview, what happened next made many viewers go from heartbroken to downright angry.

“Your son has been found? How’s he doing?” an unidentified reporter asks J.J. Jarmon, a flood survivor who lives near Big Sandy Creek, from behind the camera in a now viral TikTok. Jarmon somberly answered, “He is no longer.” The CBS Austin reporter repeated the man’s words– loaded with embarrassment– admitting how he “must’ve misunderstood you earlier. I’m so sorry.”

Jarmon began to tell the interviewer how his son, wife, and “daughter fell through the tracks of the plywood when it fell into the rill. It was one-by-one; Braxton went first—” before he was rudely interrupted. As he was talking, the reporter asked him how old his son was. If that wasn’t enough, he repeated Jarmon’s son’s name, “Braxton or…,” as he was seemingly confused on the pronunciation, prompting Jarmon to spell it out for him.

“I’m so sorry for your losses,” the interviewer continued, before asking what folks called the most redundant, and insensitive, question ever: “How are you feeling today?” The Black man took the out-of-line question in stride, answering how “he’s managing the past few days since this has happened.” He also mentioned how he has the support of his friends and how his mother plead the blood of Jesus over him.

The reporter’s questioning didn’t stop there. He asked Jarmon how old his daughter Felicity was and how his “anxiety” is “as a parent” since she’s still missing. “The anxiety of it is really crazy because I’m not really happy with the fact that she hasn’t been found. I’m happy for all the support, and I do understand there’s a lot of circumstances, debris,” Jarmon answered.

In an even more unbelievable twist, the reporter, stuttering, admits he “doesn’t want to ask an insensitive question,” but goes on to do just that. “As a parent still missing a child, is there any hope at all at this point?” The father confessed how he does not have hope “if she is alive. […] But from what I saw in here and what I lived through, I really don’t think so. There’s no way.”

Folks were up in ARMS about the “incredibly ignorant” reporter’s questions, and let him have it in the comments.

“What in the WORLD are these questions from the interviewer?!,” one person wrote.

Another added, “Whoever is interviewing needs to step back and leave that broken man alone.. tf? How do you think he’s feeling,” while a third person commented, “I am genuinely blown away by these questions from the interviewer.”

Other ruthless comments called the reporter “stupid,” asked, “Why are they interviewing survivors,” and writing how, “These questions are off. Where’s the sympathy for the guy who lost his whole family?”

Additional comments called for the reporter’s need for “a lesson in sympathy” because “people who are grieving still have not yet processed their own feelings.” One person wrote how that reporter should “NOT interview ANYONE ELSE.”

A handful of others didn’t quite agree, sharing how “it’s a journalists job to document history” and to “get first hand accounts.” Another defended the reporter, saying he was allowing the survivor a “chance to express his grief.”

Watch the full interview for yourself.

The Texas Hill Country was inundated with rain causing massive flooding early July 4. The Guadalupe River rose over 20 feet in less than 45 minutes, resulting in over 100 deaths and over 160 people still missing.

Venus Williams accepted a wild-card invitation to play singles at this month’s DC Open, which would be the seven-time Grand Slam champion’s first tournament in more than a year.

Williams, who turned 45 in June, is listed as “inactive” on the WTA Tour’s website.

She hasn’t competed in an official match since the Miami Open in 2024.

“There’s something truly special about D.C.: the energy, the fans, the history,” Williams said in a statement released Friday by organizers of the hard-court tournament, which begins with qualifying next weekend. “This city has always shown me so much love, and I can’t wait to compete there again.”

Williams also played in the nation’s capital in 2022.

“She has inspired people around the world with her accomplishments on the court and her visionary impact off the court,” said Mark Ein, chairman of the Mubadala Citi DC Open. “I know how much it means to our D.C. fans and community to be able to watch her compete in person this summer.”

In February, the tournament in Indian Wells, California, announced that Williams would be making her return to the tour by playing there, then later backtracked and said it turned out she wouldn’t.

Williams’ most recent Grand Slam appearances came in 2023, when she exited in the first round at Wimbledon — after slipping in the first set and hurting her right knee — and the U.S. Open.

Her five championships in singles at the All England Club came in 2000, 2001, 2005, 2007, 2008 and she won the 2000 and 2001 U.S. Open singles trophies, too. She also won 14 Grand Slam doubles titles alongside her younger sister, Serena, whose last tournament was the 2022 U.S. Open, and a total of four Olympic gold medals.

The older Williams said in 2011 that she had been diagnosed with Sjögren’s syndrome, an energy-sapping auto-immune disease that can cause joint pain.

In what can only be described as an all-time “caught in 4K” moment, Kyle Forgeard from the Nelk Boys may have just revealed a little too much during a recent Kick livestream and now fans are speculating that Drake is thirsting hard over OnlyFans model Leila Santese.

The viral moment happened live from London as Kyle was showing support for Drake, who was headlining Wireless Festival for three consecutive nights. What was supposed to be a casual stream turned into a pop culture moment when Kyle, apparently forgetting he was live, recounted a spicy private exchange between himself and the OVO boss.

The Slip-Up Heard Around the World

“He basically said, like, he. He was hitting me all day, so thanks for the plane. Like, really appreciate it. Stream was lit. Show was lit. Thank you,” Kyle began, before casually dropping the real bombshell.

“Then he’s like, like, you’re welcome, blah, blah, blah. And then he’s like, blah, blah, blah. And then he was watching the stream at the beginning before you got there, and he said, he’s like, Leila’s so fucking hot. He’s like, I’d fold that girl’s clothes for six months. He’s like, I’d quit rap for that.”

Yes. You read that correctly. Drake allegedly said he would “quit rap” for Leila Santese. The 38-year-old rap icon has long been known for his emotional lyrics and borderline Shakespearean thirst, but this off-the-record moment took fans by surprise and sent the internet into a tailspin.

Who Is Leila Santese?

Leila Santese is no stranger to the digital limelight. The bombshell brunette and rising OnlyFans model gained broader attention after appearing on FaZe Clan’s livestream earlier this year, where her looks and presence drew instant reaction from thirsty fans and collaborators alike. Santese has since amassed a loyal fanbase across Instagram, TikTok, and OF where her exclusive content is reportedly bringing in serious coin.

But even among the sea of beautiful women that populate Drake’s orbit, Santese stands out. And clearly, she made an impression on the Canadian rapper.

Social Media Reacts: Horny or Honest?

Once the clip of Kyle’s accidental confession hit X (formerly Twitter), users came out in full force, some dragging Drake, others defending him, and a few just marveling at the transparency of it all.

“Bro really a 38 year old hornball behind all this rap shit,” one user tweeted, summing up the general vibe with surgical precision.

Another wrote

“She was so fine when she popped up on Faze stream I was distraught finding out she was a OF girl smh.”

While others had different takes altogether

“Man that’s not being exposed lol that’s just shooting the shit with the bros.”

And then there was this gem

“Gooning over a bihh you should easily be able to acquire as the ovh03🦉 is diabolical like this bihh ain’t selling 🐱…”

Yet another user commented

“He’s definitely got that type.”

From simping to skepticism, fans are reading between every line and thirst trap.

Noir Nation, the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) is standing on business as they prepare for their annual convention and confirming that they will NOT be extending an invitiation to President Donald Trump!

———

NABJ President Ken Lemon spoke with Black Press USA, emphasizing the decision came after careful consideration—and not from obligation.

“At this point, there is not a reason to invite President Trump this year,” he said, noting that while journalists once vetted him as a candidate in 2024, this year requires a different focus—highlighting celebration over controversy.

The organization, which has historically invited both Democratic and Republican candidates to speak, says the decision was made due to concerns over safety, accountability, and Trump’s past rhetoric targeting journalists—especially Black members of the press.

With the association celebrating its 50th anniversary, Lemon made it known the event is about uplifting Black journalism, not political theater.

———

NABJ board member Dion Rebouin, a candidate for the group’s presidency, backed the choice, stating, “It makes sense, the way this administration has operated and the way it has dealt with Black journalists and Black people overall”

———

✊ NABJ Joins Other Black Groups in Rejecting Trump

Trump’s exclusion comes amid a broader trend within Black institutions:

The NAACP has made history by not inviting him to its 2025 convention, the first time in 116 years for a sitting president to be omitted.

The National Urban League has also withheld an invite, citing Trump’s policy stances and refusal to engage.

———

Deputy Press Secretary Harrison Fields criticized NABJ’s decision, calling it “petty and unprofessional antics” and insinuating the move leaned too political. Fields defended Trump’s continued support among Black voters and labeled the association’s actions as “bias and Democrat talking points” .

Despite Trump capturing 15% of the Black vote in 2024—a rise from 8% in 2020—NABJ opted to prioritize its mission over optic

🚀 Why This Matters Now

As the media landscape strains under “infotainment” and partisanship, NABJ leaders are reclaiming space by focusing on its core mission: supporting Black journalists, centering journalism over politics, and steering clear of platforms that conflict with that mission.

Their stance reflects a growing sentiment among Black advocacy groups: celebrating progress doesn’t require lending platforms to political figures whose track records challenge the ideals of equity and representation.

Noir Nation, what do you think? Is this a brave stand—or did NABJ miss an opportunity for dialogue?

President Donald Trump has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize… again. But this time, the official tap was done by Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu. If you are Black, it’s hard to think that anyone could look at Trump’s track record as a president and businessman and deem his reputation fit to join the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who won the Peace Prize in 1964. But clearly, there are others who disagree.

President Donald Trump boasts being the “greatest president since Abraham Lincoln,” despite growing disapproval of his handling of the U.S. immigration crisis, race relations in the country, international diplomacy or simply his temperament with other world leaders.

To his credit, Trump has been nominated for the international honor several times over the years, and obviously, he didn’t meet the criteria enough to be given the award. The reason why? Well, there’s plenty…

His ‘Peace’ Efforts in the Middle East Have Failed

What President Netanyahu fails to acknowledge is despite Trump’s “attempted” diplomacy in the Middle East, all of his efforts have ended tragically. In regards to Israel and Gaza, Trump facilitated many ceasefire talks, but none of them have stuck. The war in Gaza has not slowed, regardless of Trump’s claims otherwise. And what’s worse is Israel, America’s close ally, is also at war with other nations nearby.

Just two weeks ago, Trump told reporters both Iranian and Israeli leaders “don’t know what the f*ck they’re doing” after both sides violated his peace order. The president was confident that under his leadership, the two warring nations would end the violence, but his plan didn’t go accordingly.

Threatening War with Our Allies

At the very beginning of his second term, the 47th president blindsided America’s closest allies– China, Mexico and Canada– with harsh tariffs which only weakened relations and rocked the stock market. His trade war with China reached an all-time high with Trump even threatening to go to war with the Asian country.

The threats and tensions championed by Trump haven’t slowed down either. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney declared the once neighborly relationship between the U.S. and Canada “is over.” And with looming uncertainty over previously strong allies, America is becoming increasingly vulnerable. With that, Experts say Trump has proven to be more of a threat to America’s peace than ever before.

Trump Orders Will Results in International Deaths

Experts claim under Trump, cuts to Medicaid, SNAP benefits and the dismantling of U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) will result in millions of deaths and rises in health issues globally. It’s estimated around 70 million Americans will be affected by Medicaid changes, many of which are the poorest Americans, according to statistics.

As far as USAID goes, experts also estimate 14 million people, including 4.5 million children, will die by 2030 without the program. Even Obama and former President George W. Bush came out against the dismantling of the agency, which has been historically supported by liberals and conservatives.

Sending Military Against American Protesters

Protesters have flooded American streets in cities nation-wide since Trump’s reelection. From “No Kings Day” protests to anti-ICE demonstrations in Los Angeles, many Americans point the finger at Trump as the culprit of the internal division.

Tensions obviously didn’t settle after Trump deployed thousands of military troops to LA without permission from the city Mayor Karen Bass or the governor. Most recently, Bass condemned Trump’s efforts after federal agents raided a neighborhood park. Bass shared footage of the National Guard officers on foot, calling the spectacle, “Absolutely outrageous.”

If Trump finally wins a Peace Prize, observers worry the reputation of the honor will be forever impacted.

Robert Griffin III (known as RGIII) and Ryan Clark are in yet another debate centered around Angel Reese, except this time, the WNBA star chimed in. On July 10, RGIII appeared to be coming to Reese’s defense in a lengthy tweet condemning the racist recreation of the Chicago Sky player’s 2K26 cover, which replaced Reese with the image of a monkey playing basketball. 

“Alright. This has got to stop. There is no place for racism in this world,” Griffin wrote on X, which included an image of the racist meme. “Whether you like a player or not. Angel Reese should never be called or depicted as a Monkey.”

However, his message took a turn when the sports commentator not only accused the WNBA star of sharing a video that led to his family and friends receiving death threats but also claimed that unnamed “people in Angel’s inner circle” told him that he was correct about his previous speculation that Reese hates fellow WNBA player Caitlin Clark “because of the media always asking her about Caitlin and being constantly compared to her.” 

His tweet prompted responses from both Reese, her mother and fellow sports commentator Ryan Clark. 

“Man, stop with the 🧢 My daughter’s ‘circle’ is so small & tight, so I’d be interested [to] know who called U Whomever U say “called” U 🤔 is not in her circle [to] speak on her feelings towards a media/fandom made up beef. Just stay on that side bc the doors are closed over here,” Reese’s mother tweeted in response to his claim. 

Reese later wrote: “Lying on this app when everybody know the first and last name of everybody in my circle for clout is nastyyyy work,” in a tweet addressing RGIII’s comments. 

Clark, who got into a social media feud with RGIII in May for pushing the narrative that Reese hates Caitlin Clark, took to Instagram to share his take. 

“RGIII seems to have a strange fascination with Angel Reese or connection to the spotlight that it brings,” the Pivot podcast host shared. “Angel Reese, this young, beautiful, talented, hard working, successful, black woman who is on an absolute tear in the WNBA  has an opportunity now to unveil her own shoe is depicted as a monkey in this graphic –– a graphic I only saw on [RGIII’s] page, so now his millions of followers can see this. And it should be easy to defend her against such deplorable hate, racism, bigotry, and evil. But he couldn’t do that. He had to make himself both the victim and the hero of this story.” 

“He had to mention that Angel Reese did something to him instead of acknowledging what he initially did to her; he had to be the champion again for Caitlin Clark, I guess, against the young, angry Black woman by lying on her and her inner circle,” he continued. “So now Angel Reese, who should be in a celebration and trying to ignore the noise of all the evil and attacks that she feels every single day, has to come out, along with her mother, to shut down these lies and accusations from RGIII.”

A few months ago, Clark and RGIII got into a public sports feud that turned personal after RGIII dropped a lengthy anti-Reese video, inciting a narrative that Reese was jealous and resentful of Caitlin Clark’s popularity, which was riddled with racial undertones. While Clark abstained from making any comments about RGIII’s Blackness and wife this time, he did call out the way in which the former ESPN analyst uses his platform. 

“We have to stop this. Because, by his own admission, he says, ‘if you don’t support people that don’t look like you, then you’re a part of the problem.’ Let me be clear, if you never support people who look like you, you are also a part of the problem,” Clark concluded. “God made us with the responsibility for inclusion, compassion, empathy, and love for all people. We also have that same responsibility for our people.”
