Good Morning Everybody! We now have just 5 days left to fight, to organize, to call, to email, to text, to rally, to pray to save the life of Rodney Reed – a man that experts across the world say is innocent of the crime that he now sits on death row for. In just […]
In just a few minutes I’ll give us an update on our efforts to stop the execution of Rodney Reed, but first I want to bring you all some great news from San Francisco. Several times over this past year I told the story of a young man who was running for District Attorney there […]
On this past Tuesday I told you about a man named Rodney Reed who is on death row in Texas for a crime he did not commit. We are now just 12 short days away from Rodney being executed and we’re doing anything and everything we can do to help save this man’s life. Just […]
Good Morning Everybody! In just 14 days, the State of Texas is scheduled to execute a man that I believe is factually innocent. His name is Rodney Reed and he has been framed for a rape and murder that he did not commit. All the way back in 1996, now 23 years ago, a white […]
I have a few news stories I wanna break down, but first I just wanted to take a quick moment to acknowledge the life and legacy of comedian John Witherspoon. I love comedians. It’s such a gift to be able to make people laugh and John Witherspoon had been cracking jokes for generations and had […]
All over social media I’ve seen several different videos of police brutality over this past week – sometimes it was fatal, other times not, but each and every time, like clockwork, the victims were Black or Latino, and the violence was completely unnecessary.

Good Morning Everybody! I have a few things I wanna cover so I’ll just jump right in. This weekend, HBO premiered a brand new television show that’s based on a comic book called The Watchmen. I love the comic and loved the movie based on it as well. But something deeply fascinating happened on the […]
Hey Good Morning Everybody! I’ve got a lot I hope to update you on so let’s jump right in. On this Saturday morning, Fort Worth Police Officer Aaron Dean shot and killed 28 year old Atatiana Jefferson from outside of her own bedroom window as she was playing video games with her 8 year old […]
Good Morning Everybody! Donald Trump should be impeached. As you may know, the majority of Americans now believe he should be impeached, but as always, Black folk, both in and out of Congress, were the very first folk to speak up and call out his illegal and unethical behaviors including Congressman Al Green and Congresswoman […]
If you are listening to TJMS, chances are you want to reform the thing most people call “The Criminal Justice System.” In our community, we’re beginning to call it “The Legal System,” because it’s not really just and everybody who enters into it is not a criminal, but whatever you call, whatever we call it, […]
When I was last on the air this past Tuesday, I had serious doubts as to whether or not Dallas Police Officer Amber Guyger would even been convicted of a crime after the instructions the judge gave the jury about the stand your ground laws in Texas, but later that day, to our surprise, the […]
