Summary
7.31.2025 #RolandMartinUnfiltered:Detroit Early Voting, TX Redistricting showdown, Trumpflation, Black Youth Mental Health Crisis
Early voting is underway in Detroit's high-stakes mayoral primary. Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield is here to explain why she should be the city's next leader.
In Texas, tensions are boiling over as Republicans push to redraw congressional maps that could give them five more seats. We'll take you to "ground zero" of this political power grab and talk to Tarrant County Commissioner Alisa Simmons, who's calling it out as racist and dangerous.
And a silent crisis is growing: the rise of mental health struggles among Black youth. We have a licensed psychotherapist joining us to discuss this urgent issue and why suicide is on the rise among our youth.
