Mayor Andre Dickens ‘Got Something To Say’ And Has 4 More Years To Say It After Election Victory

Mayor Andre Dickens will continue guiding the city of Atlanta after winning his reelection on Nov. 4.

Dickens secured more than 50% of the vote in his four-way race. The number of votes in such a crowded race is a testament to the mayor’s favorability and hard work over the past four years. During his acceptance speech posted to social media, Mayor Dickens gave a shoutout to his predecessors, Maynard Jackson, Andrew Young, Shirley Franklin, and Kaseem Reid.

Dickens credited staff, volunteers, and city workers for their contributions to the “group project of Atlanta” during his first term.

“Your hard work and dedication is what this group project is all about,” Dickens said.

The mayor spoke about more than just the issues at home in Georgia. He took a moment to acknowledge the instability residents are facing due to the current government shutdown. Dickens was highly critical of the current administration, condemning its decision to remodel the White House as citizens lost essential benefits such as SNAP. Still, Dickens says that even if the federal government refuses to consider the well-being of its people, cities like Atlanta will.

“Cities are being called upon to fill that gap, and Atlanta is coming together to take care of our people that are in need. When the federal government don’t stand up for the people of Atlanta, the people of Georgia, the people of America—just like we’ve always done, we will.”

While there are no guarantees in politics, Dickens ran his second campaign with a solid track record full of productive resident-centered initiatives. Under his tenure, Atlanta saw a 46% drop in violent crime from 2023 to 2024. More than half of Dickens’s targeted 20,000 affordable-housing units are already under construction or constructed. His housing initiatives for the unhoused have been successful. The mayor partnered with Invest Atlanta to open Azalea Fresh, the city’s first municipal grocery store, and more.

“The city got stabilized during my term, unified during my term, and is on a path that everybody can want to come here to raise a family,” he said.

Indeed, Atlanta has risen in desirability as it climbs the national superlatives lists: “No.1 Smartest City and No. 1 Most Educated City.”

No Limit Rapper Young Bleed Dies At 51 After Suffering Brain Aneurysm

The rapper's eldest son cleared up rumors behind his father's death.

Young Bleed, the famous No Limit Rapper from Baton Rouge, has died at 51.

The rapper, real name Glenn Clifton Jr., rose to fame as part of the Master P-founded No Limit Records. However, Young Bleed’s life took a tragic turn after attending the No Limit Records vs. Cash Money Records Verzuz battle in Las Vegas on Oct. 25.

Following the event celebrating the music and legacy of the Louisiana hip-hop labels, Young Bleed suffered a brain aneurysm at an after-party.

His eldest son, Ty’Gee Ramon Clifton, announced his death happened Nov. 1. He shared on Instagram two days after about the loss of the “biggest legend,” while clearing up rumors surrounding his death.

A post shared by Ty’Gee Ramon (@ty_gee_ramon)

“As of November First, my dad gained his wings. This is a tough topic for me, not sure how this is gonna go. But I’m here to clear up a lot of things that were said,” said Clifton in the video.

He then explained how his father dealt with high blood pressure, which “spiked” as he attended the Verzuz after-party. The eldest son deemed the death a “natural thing,” amid concerns from the public on what actually happened.

“So my dad, like most as you get his age, had high blood pressure. You know, he take his medicines and, you know, do what he do as a celebrity. So, not much. After his huge celebration of the Verzuz, he went to the after-party, and that’s where, you know, everything kind of spiked. I did want to clear up and let people know because they were thinking that it was deeper than that. But no, it was more of a natural thing that you know, caused this to happen to him.”

Young Bleed’s signature song with fellow collaborator C-Loc, “How Ya Do Dat,” became a new hit after Master P released a remix of the track. The track was released on the 1997 soundtrack of Master P’s film I’m Bout It. The hit song topped Billboard’s R&B/Hip Hop album charts, solidifying his legacy as a Baton Rouge rap legend. According to People, Young Bleed released nine studio albums throughout his career, debuting with his ‘My Balls & My Word’ LP in 1998 under Priority Records.

As the family grapples with his unexpected death, Clifton also mentioned a GoFundMe to help take care of burial expenses. As of Nov. 4, it has reached 80% of its $9,000 goal.

While Clifton assured that a greater tribute to the Louisiana rap legend will be released in due time, he also mentioned to keep their family and the memory of Young Bleed lifted up.

“My dad is a great man. I knew he was a great man through the things he’s shown me, but y’all have been giving me memories and moments. And I ask that y’all keep doing that, keep sending me those pictures and those photos and those songs, those videos, and let’s keep his legacy alive.”

Woman’s Gym Membership Allegedly Revoked For Confronting A Trans Woman In A Female Locker Room

A woman allegedly had her membership revoked after confronting a man inside the women's locker room.

A woman is calling for a gym boycott after her membership was allegedly revoked for confronting a transgender woman in the women’s locker room.

Los Angeles-based singer Tish Hyman shared on Instagram that she and several others confronted a man found inside the women’s locker room. Hyman says that following the incident, EOS Fitness, formerly Gold’s Gym, revoked her membership, a move she believes was punishment for speaking out.

Hyman claims this wasn’t the first time the man had been seen inside the women’s locker room and says gym staff repeatedly failed to take action.

“Multiple women and I have repeatedly made written reports on this man for coming into our women’s locker room, harassing us, and the gym staff has done absolutely nothing!!” Hyman wrote on Instagram.

In the video Hyman shared online, she’s heard confronting the unidentified individual, who was dressed in all black and wearing dangling earrings. At one point, an angry man joined in, repeatedly asking the person who they were before Hyman stepped in.

“Now he knows how to be a man, right? Now he knows how to be a man. Stay outta the women’s locker room! We don’t want it. He needs to have his gym membership revoked for that s–t!” Hyman shouted.

She went on to reference past complaints women in the gym have allegedly made about the man caught in the women’s locker room.

“We already filed reports. No, no, no! You can’t get rid of me for this! I’m a woman, and I have every right not to want a man in the restroom when I’m naked! There are girls naked in there!” Hyman exclaimed.

Despite the commotion, the man is seen returning to the women’s locker room, ignoring Hyman’s protests. Hyman says that although the man was eventually removed from the gym, her membership was also revoked—permanently.

“They removed him—but then they turned around and terminated my membership too, as if I was being punished for speaking up,” she wrote.

In her Instagram post, Hyman noted that the gym had recently undergone renovations and urged the chain to add “trans restrooms.” She also called on others to “take a stand” and join her in the “#BoycottGoldsGym” movement, despite the gym being an EoS Fitness location in California, among the 23 Gold’s Gym locations recently acquired by the company.

Jake Paul Cancels Exhibition Match Against Gervonta Davis After Domestic Violence Accusations

He calls Davis "an actual walking human piece of garbage."

Jake Paul and his company, Most Valuable Promotions, announced that the exhibition boxing match that was supposed to take place between Paul and Gervonta Davis has been canceled after Davis was hit with a civil lawsuit from his former girlfriend, Courtney Rossel. Paul eviscerated Davis via his social media account after the cancellation.

According to ESPN, the YouTuber-turned-boxer was gearing up to fight the undefeated Davis in Miami at the Kaseya Center, Nov. 14, but nixed the boxing match after Rossel filed her lawsuit against Davis. The WBA lightweight champion was hit with the suit accusing him of battery, aggravated battery, false imprisonment, kidnapping, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.

A report was filed on Nov. 3, with the Miami Gardens Police Department claiming that Davis allegedly assaulted the woman at her place of employment, a gentlemen’s club, Tootsie, where she worked as a VIP cocktail server. The alleged incident occurred in a back room of the club that lacked cameras. She stated that she was dragged through a stairwell, kitchen, and the back exit before being physically assaulted in the parking garage.

She also claims it wasn’t the first time he struck her, stating that during their five-month relationship, she suffered domestic violence several times and alleged that there were at least four previous incidents where he assaulted her.

This news comes less than three months after prosecutors dropped a domestic violence case (Aug. 12) against the boxer after he was arrested in July, when he was accused of striking the mother of his two children during a custody exchange. The misdemeanor battery charge was dismissed after she refused to press charges against the boxer.

The fight cancellation angered Paul, and he did not hold back in a post on his X account. He pointed out the difficulties he encountered leading up to the now-canceled exhibition match, citing unprofessionalism, among other matters. He apologized to the other fighters on the undercard while chastising Davis as a “woman abuser.”

“Gervonta Davis is an actual walking human piece of garbage. Working with him is an absolute nightmare. The unprofessionalism, the bizarre requests, the showing up hours late to shoots. To the numerous arrests, related accusations, and lawsuits. If you support this man you…

Paul is looking for someone else to fight on Netflix, where he has a multi-fight deal with the streaming giant.

NYC Principal Accused of Improperly Using School Funds To Buy Scores of Books Published By Affluent Friends

Aneesha Jacko reportedly bought hundreds of books by Damon Dash's wife, Rachel Horn.

New York City principal Aneesha Jacko is under investigation for allegedly misusing taxpayer funds, including buying hundreds and hundreds of books written by her friends, one of whom is married to a hip-hop icon.

Jacko, the principal at PS 35 Nathaniel Woodhull in Queens, who has been at the school since October 2020, is under investigation, Jason Brooks, a spokesman for the Special Commissioner of Investigation confirmed to the New York Post.

Brooks acknowledged that the office has been exploring complaints about Jacko’s spending for three years. However, “the case is still open, and therefore the SCI cannot comment,” he said.

Sources told the Post that Jacko used school funds to purchase approximately 500 copies of the paperback Dusko Goes to Sea. The book was written by Raquel Horn, the wife of Roc-a-Fella Records cofounder Damon Dash , who was at the school in February. (The book retails for $14.95.)

Three years ago, the school also purchased the first Dusko book, Dusko Goes to Space.

“There’s a budget for them to buy books. So why is it a problem?” Dash asked when he was contacted by the Post.

“I think it’s a racist thing that she’s even being looked at and scrutinized,” he added. “It’s just because she’s a Black woman who has good reading scores for her kids and gets more for her money. She’s trying to help these kids learn how to read.”

Jacko also authorized a $10,000 payment to Poppington LLC, Dash’s apparel company, on March 9, 2022, for T-shirts, according to records reviewed by The Post.

Other purchases are under scrutiny, include a payment of $26,877 to Young Faces Smiling, a non-profit by her friend, A. McClarty. She also bought about 100 copies of her book Reaching for the Stars: 10 Secret Steps to Connecting with Celebrities and Building Your Brand.

Jacko, the Post reports, also ordered 1,285 books by another friend, Brianna Greenspan: 435 copies of Everything is Right About You; 200 copies of I Am the Best Me; and 630 copies of The Miracle Morning Art of Affirmations, a $20 coloring book; and 35 copies in Spanish.

The principal also used school funds to pay Sussman Education Inc., which publishes those books, $61,000 in early 2022, records show.

Officials have stated that Jacko is not accused of any criminal wrongdoing.

BREAKING: DOT Announces Potential Airspace Closures If Air Traffic Controllers Don’t Show For Work

The Federal Aviation Administration said that on Oct. 31, 80% of New York area staff called out.

Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy sounded the alarm on the possibility of U.S. airspace closing if not enough air traffic controllers show up to work as the government shutdown continues, ABC News reports.

Duffy, an appointee of President Donald Trump, blamed the Democrats for potential airspace traffic being at risk if the shutdown stretches into the second week of November.

“So, if you bring us to a week from today, Democrats, you will see mass chaos,” Duffy said. “You will see mass flight delays. You’ll see mass cancellations, and you may see us close certain parts of the airspace, because we just cannot manage it, because we don’t have the air traffic controllers.”

Airports nationwide have suffered immensely as close to 50% of all major air traffic control facilities have faced staffing shortages. According to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) ,on Oct. 31, 80% of the New York area staff called out.

During the shutdown, officially the second-longest in U.S. history, air traffic controllers are required to show up for work without pay until the Republicans and Democrats reach an agreement.

In an Oct. 9 interview with Fox Business, Duffy said air traffic controllers could lose their jobs if they don’t show up to work. “When you come to work, you get paid,” Duffy said. “If you don’t come to work, you don’t get paid..If we have some on our staff that aren’t dedicated, we’re going to let them go.”

Data from the FAA shows close to 13,000 air traffic controllers are currently working without pay. According to CNN, in the early part of the shutdown, controllers received a partial paycheck but missed one entirely at the end of October.

Duffy said controllers will be sent another “$0” paystub, but said many can’t go without two paychecks. “They need support, they need money, they need a paycheck,” Duffy said, dialing back on his previous threats. “They don’t need to be fired.”

Controllers and other airspace workers, such as those working for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), are deemed essential employees, but those not showing up to work have caused massive security risks and lengthy wait times.

At Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport a mass of travelers were seen waiting to get through security.

“We delay flights, we cancel or tell airlines to cancel flights if we don’t have enough controllers to effectively and safely manage our skies,” Duffy said. “With this shutdown, it would be dishonest to say that more risk is not injected into the system. There is more risk in the system.”

CurlMix Founder Launches Community Campaign To Save Business

The CEO and founder of CurlMix, Kim Lewis, says they need 20,000 orders to stay open.

Another Black-owned haircare brand may have to shut its doors.

As a Black business owner, Kim Lewis, wants to keep her legacy alive and promote diverse entrepreneurship, but she needs her community to show up and help support CurlMix’s products.

She has launched a #ProtectCurlMix campaign to sustain the company, founded in Southside Chicago, that also employs local workers

On Instagram, Lewis got real about the circumstances that have threatened CurlMix’s survival. She said she has 60 days to get 20,000 orders of a signature bundle in order to keep going. Otherwise, the business will close on Dec. 31.

A post shared by Kim Lewis | Founder Curlmix.com (@kimlewisceo)

“This has been the most difficult year in business. This year in business was harder than COVID, with tariffs and taxes and ingredient costs going up and shipping time slowing down,” she said in a video shared on Instagram. “Our team went from a size 40 to 14, and that partially explains why, you know, we’ve had some delayed orders or longer replies and customer service. Everyone on my team is doing two to three different jobs.”

Curlmix is offering a $100 bundle of 10 full-sized products that can help the company stay alive. With flaxseed gels, leave-in conditioners, and curl creams, the products work to serve textured hair needs. Donations are also welcome.

The company first gained recognition for its 2019 appearance on ABC’s Shark Tank. Wanting to keep ownership in the community, the company’s founders rejected a $400,000 offer for a 20% stake in the company.

Instead, they raised $1.2 million while letting go of a 10% stake. They continued to offer equity for community members wanting to invest, earning another $3.6 million in 2021.

However, prior crowdfunding campaigns can no longer sustain operations.

“You guys invested in CurlMix, you bought equity in our company, and I want to continue to show up for you. So I’m not giving up…If we get 20,000 orders in the next 60 days, we can stay alive and thrive,” continued Lewis in the video. “We will have turned the business around, and we should be self-sufficient after that. I just need help one last time.”

Supportive customers can learn more about the company on its website.

Report: Black Memphis Residents Feel Unsafe In Presence Of Trump’s ‘Safe Task Force’

In September, President Donald Trump signed the executive order “Restoring Law and Order in Memphis.”

An investigation from ProPublica and local nonprofit news organization MLK50 paints a grim reality for Black residents in Memphis, who say they face harassment and racial profiling from President Donald Trump’s safety force.

On Oct. 14, Memphis resident Reggie Williams, who is Black, posted on Facebook that he was harassed by the Memphis Police Department and men claiming to be with Immigration and Customs Enforcement when he was walking to a store.

The incident occurred exactly one month after Trump signed an executive order titled “Restoring Law and Order in Memphis,” which established the “Memphis Safe Task Force,” deploying national guard units, FBI, DEA, and ATF agents along with state and local agencies to “combat violent and street crime in the city.”

In his executive order, Trump said FBI data show that Memphis had the highest rate of violent crime per capita in the U.S., involving murder, robberies, and aggravated assault.

Residents like Williams think the task force is racial profiling Black people. “If you are anything but white, you are an illegal. These people have lost their f*****g minds.”

His advice to Black Memphis residents: “Carry your ID, passport, birth certificate, and social security on you at all times.”

Williams is one of a few stories in ProPublica and MLK50′s investigation. A ride-share driver was stopped for not wearing a seatbelt, despite wearing one. A pastor was pulled over for “looking lost” after leaving a church function. Officers apprehended a 72-year-old man in his robe and underwear in a case of mistaken identity.

The U.S. Marshals Service, the organization leading the task force, denied the accounts from Black residents.

“The suggestion that our federal law enforcement officers are racially profiling citizens is not founded in reality and undermines the credibility and safety of the Task Force Officers who should be commended for the exceptional work they are doing to keep this community safe!” Ryan Guay, a spokesperson for the U.S. Marshals Service, wrote in a statement.

What’s happening in Memphis —a city with a history of poor policing —is not an anomaly under the Trump administration.

Not Just Memphis Black Residents

The Trump administration has deployed military and federal law enforcement agencies to various cities, many of which are heavily Democratic and have Black leaders.

Over the summer, Trump declared a crime emergency in Washington, D.C., which led to the temporary federal control of the Metropolitan Police Department and the deployment of National Guard members. Earlier, the Trump administration deployed nearly 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles in response to protests following federal immigration raids.

Both cities have Black women as mayors.

The Trump administration has targeted Chicago, whose mayor, Brandon Johnson, is Black. In one high-profile incident, ICE agents detained residents of an apartment building in Chicago for hours, even separating children from their parents, in an overnight raid. U.S. citizens, including Black residents, were apprehended during the immigration crackdown.

In the last few weeks, Trump deployed National Guard members to Portland, Oregon, a city that overwhelmingly supported Kamala Harris during the 2024 presidential election.

“Trump’s actions represent a disgusting abuse of power and a calculated attempt to intimidate Black and brown Americans,” Derrick Johnson, president and CEO of the NAACP, wrote in an October 16 statement. “Weaponizing the military and ICE against our communities is not about safety; it’s about control. The NAACP will not stand by as our communities are treated as enemy combatants in our own country.”

Fake News! Fox News Falls For Racist AI Video Of Black Woman Upset Over SNAP Funding Cuts

The article was revised with an editor's note despite being based on AI-generated content.

Fox News is facing backlash for wrongfully reporting on an AI video of a Black woman complaining about SNAP funding cuts.

The conservative-leaning news outlet originally reported on the video Oct. 31. The clip depicts the fake woman speaking on her “seven baby daddies” while feeling upset about paused SNAP benefits.

One CNN journalist, Andrew Kaczynski, pointed out the initial headline on X. The article read, “SNAP beneficiaries threaten to ransack stores over government shutdown.” Its subheadline added, “One mother claims taxpayers must feed her children as SNAP benefits face cuts.”

Not sure if I’ve seen anything like this before — Fox feel for an AI video and basically rewrote their whole story when called out https://t.co/L7bVMpb4Dw pic.twitter.com/tr0XgzCSQX
— Andrew Kaczynski (@KFILE) November 1, 2025

“Not sure if I’ve seen anything like this before — Fox fell for an AI video and basically rewrote their whole story when called out,” wrote Kaczynski.

As the mishap gained traction, Fox News corrected to note that the clip was actually artificially generated. The new headline now reads,” AI videos of SNAP beneficiaries complaining about cuts go viral.” At the end of the article, an editor’s note also highlighted the initial response.

It wrote, “This article previously reported on some videos that appear to have been generated by AI without noting that. This has been corrected.”

The viral video featured the fake AI woman talking about how the government shutdown impacted her SNAP benefits.

“Because of the government shutdown, now I can’t get my SNAPs for next month,” said the AI woman.

The fake person also said, “I have seven different baby daddies and none of ’em no good for me.”

The article’s edits also bled into the subheading, reflecting the ever-changing status of SNAP funding. However, critics slammed the news outlet for spreading misinformation. Although added edits affirmed that Fox News reported on the video before recognizing its fake-ness, others were quick to note that the article still covered the topic for real commentary.

Fox is now reporting on these AI videos as if they are real and is using them to smear Black Americans with racist, anti-SNAP propaganda. We are in a very dangerous and disturbing place. https://t.co/KXk1iP6Brm pic.twitter.com/bb7PCYo37X

“Fox is now reporting on these AI videos as if they are real and is using them to smear Black Americans with racist, anti-SNAP propaganda,” wrote another commentator. “We are in a very dangerous and disturbing place.

Left up, the article can still perpetuate racist stigmas against Black people, especially during this turbulent time of unstable SNAP funding.

As of Nov. 4, SNAP funding remains uncertain despite court orders for the administration to fund the program using contingency funds. Donald Trump recently posted on Truth Social about rejecting a federal court order.

Setti Warren, Who Broke Barriers As Massachusetts’ First Black Mayor, Dies At 55

Rep. Ayanna Pressley remembered her “dear friend” as a “dedicated public servant” who she had spoken with the night before his passing.

The state of Massachusetts is in mourning as news spread of Setti Warren, the first Black man elected as mayor of Newton, passing away at 55, The Boston Globe reports.

Leadership at Harvard University, where Warren served as director of the Kennedy School’s Institute of Politics, made the announcement Nov. 2 without disclosing a cause or time of death. “Setti was a beloved member of our community, and we are devastated by this heartbreaking news,” Jeremy Weinstein, Kennedy School Dean, and David Deming, Dean of Harvard College, said in a statement, corresponding with a post on X.

It's with profound sadness we share that Setti Warren, Director of the Institute of Politics, has passed away. Setti was a beloved member of our community, and we're devastated by this heartbreaking news. https://t.co/ijCzvyGFPP
— Harvard Kennedy School (@Kennedy_School) November 2, 2025

The statement continued, highlighting Warren “as an example to us all.” “Whenever he saw a challenge, he ran toward it –– not away from it –– and our university and country are better for it,” the statement continued. The Iraq War veteran served as a bold and prominent voice in politics at the local, state, and federal levels. According to WBUR, Warren broke barriers in the state after being elected Newton’s mayor in 2009, becoming the first Black elected mayor in Massachusetts.

U.S. Rep. Jake Auchincloss, who grew up in the city, remembers Warren as being a fighter at a time when Newton needed him most following a bitter battle over building a pricey high school. Auchincloss described his late friend as someone who made “ each person he was talking to feel like they mattered,” and followed through, honoring the door-knocking dynamic that inspired him to run for Congress. “Setti got out there and was just joyful. Just door-to-door, one-on-one conversations, knitting the city back together,” the congressman said.

“ Then Setti went to City Hall and he delivered; he did it,” Auchincloss said. “And that’s what we need more of … these, these gritty one-on-one conversations where we hear what people care about and then we go and do something about it.”

In an interview with The New York Times at the time of the election, Warren said his focus was to change the lives of those in his community. “What I feel most passionate about is making people’s lives better, and I wanted to do it right here in my own community,” he said in 2009.

Warren held the top spot for two years until 2018. Prior to that, he served as the deputy state director for Sen. John Kerry’s Massachusetts office from 2004 to 2008, and he also held positions in the Clinton administration.

At Harvard, he led the Institute of Politics from 2022 after serving as the executive director of Harvard’s Shorenstein Center on Media, Politics, and Public Policy.

Notes of sorrow were showcased on social media from state leaders, including Rep. Ayanna Pressley, who remembered her “dear friend” as a “dedicated public servant” whom she had spoken with the night before his passing. “I am heartbroken to learn of the sudden transition of my dear friend and former Kerry colleague, Setti Warren. There will be plenty of time to remember him as a proud Democrat, dedicated public servant, and convener, but for now, I just want to remember the decent, kind, and good man that he was,” she wrote on X.

“Setti was a loving son, brother, dedicated husband, and father. He was always ready with a hug, an easy and deep laugh, and kind eyes that twinkled. He is someone you were always happy to see coming your way. He radiated light and optimism. Setti had so much life left to live, milestones to experience, hearts to touch, and lives to change.”
