DOJ broke the law today by refusing to produce all the Epstein files. It also broke the law by redacting information other than to protect victims. Yet, the corporate media is acting that DOJ did us a huge favor. Now, more than ever, help build independent, pro-democracy media. hubs.ly/Q03CbHTt0

Cam Spencer’s breakout season is taking shape as the Memphis Grizzlies guard turns preparation, shooting, and opportunity into real impact. www.memphisflyer.com/cam-spencers...

From 4–11 to belief. The Grizzlies earned a December road win in Minnesota that reflected growth, patience, and a team learning how to win together. www.memphisflyer.com/why-this-dec...

The Memphis Grizzlies fall 130–126 to the Utah Jazz in a game that felt within reach. Strong shooting and Ja Morant’s return weren’t enough as rebounding, physicality, and late defensive breakdowns swung the outcome at FedExForum. #GrindCity🐻 #NBA🏀 #Memphis〽️ #WordsByShy✍️🏾

The Grizzlies found their fight again. Memphis has something to believe in. 💙🐻✨ www.memphisflyer.com/a-break-in-t...

Jock Landale didn’t come to Memphis for headlines. He came to work. And that calm, steady presence has become exactly what the Grizzlies needed. A role found. A fit earned. A story still being written. www.memphisflyer.com/jock-landale...

Some matchup rankings headed into Grizzlies at LA for Black Friday Clippers defense catches a theoretical break since Grizzlies are missing all of their volume guards. Key matchup will be with how well Ivica Zubac deals with Zach Edey.

Dug out of a 17-point hole and finally looked like a team growing together. Jaren steady, Edey tough, Vince Williams Jr. with 17 assists, and Jaylen Wells still blazing. Memphis now 2–1 in the NBA Cup #GrindCity   #NBACup www.memphisflyer.com/the-night-th...

The Grizzlies fell 111-101 to the Spurs after a late 11-0 run, dropping their fifth straight. Cedric Coward and Vince Williams Jr. shined, but Memphis faltered in the fourth as Jaren Jackson Jr. took accountability. www.memphisflyer.com/grizzlies-dr...

🚨🚨🚨Words by Shy🚨🚨🚨 Turnovers, stalled offense, shifting roles. The issues are bigger than the numbers. This is what’s really going on with the Grizzlies. www.memphisflyer.com/fourteen-gam...

Stop chasing perfect — peace comes when you start trusting the process 💛✨

Late breakdowns again in the Bay. Memphis remains winless at Chase Center since 2021. Morant 23 & 9 | JJJ 16 & 7 #MemphisGrizzlies #GoldenStateWarriors #NBA #ChaseCenter #NBAGameRecap www.memphisflyer.com/grizzlies-fa...

🚨🚨🚨 Words by Shy 🚨🚨🚨 Calm. Confident. Efficient. Cedric Coward looks like a rookie built for Memphis. www.memphisflyer.com/how-memphis-...

Coward’s breakout. Morant’s leadership. Small’s poise. 💪🏽 Memphis bounced back in style after the Miami loss — a statement win that showed heart, chemistry, and growth. 🏀 Read the full story ⬇️ memphisflyer.com/coward-shines-…#GrizzNationo#NBAB#MemphisGrizzliese#CedricCowardr#Postgameme

Happy Friday 💛 Whatever storm you’re facing, don’t give up — brighter days are on the way. 🌤 #FridayMotivation #KeepGoing

Morant shut down any talk of rivalry with Zion, instead showing respect and brotherhood. The two share roots in South Carolina, and Morant emphasized how proud he is of both their journeys — calling it “love for good hoops,” not competition.

A star making history, a perfect debut, and a comeback— Memphis couldn’t have scripted a better home opener. www.memphisflyer.com/grizzlies-ra...

✨ Monday Moment ✨ Take a breath & ease into the week—there’s no need to rush. It’s okay if your steps feel small or your pace is slow. What matters is that you’re still moving forward. Trust that everything is unfolding the way it’s meant to and give yourself grace as you grow.

Updated: We found a transportation service that’s much cheaper — $130 for 5 days — and she just started a new job closer to home. She’ll still need help with transportation for about one more month as she gets back on her feet. Any support means the world. ❤️

No matter your situation — new to the Bluff City, facing a tough time, or helping a neighbor — you’re not alone. Memphis has a big heart and plenty of places offering free meals, groceries, and support. Most welcome you with open arms — no ID needed. choose901.com/where-to-get...

Tonya relies solely on rideshare to get to work and appointments, costing over $40 a day with no public transportation available. Your support can help lighten the load and keep her moving forward. ❤️

Happy Monday ✨ May this day mark the start of a week overflowing with peace, unexpected blessings, and quiet moments that make you smile. Whatever challenges come your way, may you meet them with strength, grace, and unshakable faith. 💚 God bless your journey ahead. 🌿

Memphis Grizzlies 🏀 Media Day | NBA Season 2025-26 I asked Ja Morant about what he wants his legacy to be in Memphis. #NBA #MemphisGrizzlies #Memphis #MediaDay #JaMorant

Storms Fade, Strength Stays 🙏🏾

🙏🏾 Grateful to God for allowing me to see this day. Life is a book, and I’ve just turned the page to a fresh chapter. Happy 2nd anniversary to my 50th birthday! 🎉 #926Baby #TeamLibra ♎ #ShyDay #Friday

✨♎ Libra Season is here, and it’s giving balance, beauty, and fresh energy. This is the time to realign, glow in your own lane, and move with peace. Let the good vibes flow, let your spirit feel lighter, and watch the blessings open up. 🌌💫

Can anyone recommend companies currently hiring caregivers in the Whitehaven area?

ChatGPT rated my lunch 9/10. Green beans w/ham, center cut lean pork chop (air fryer) and strawberries.

Monday is your launchpad. Shake off the excuses, lean into the grind, and set the pace for the week. The energy you bring today can fuel every victory ahead. #MondayMotivation 🚀 #NoExcuses 💪🏾 #StayConsistent 📈 #PositiveEnergy 🌞 #NewWeekNewGoals 🎯 #Inspiration 🌸

Pardon my handwriting but this white board summarizes team input from my relaunch today of my reporting-writing workshop series today for @mississippifreepress.org reporters and editors. From right to left, defining how our “systemic reporting” is different than usual; then how to report it (left).

Weird that the FCC Chair had no issue with Kilmeade wanting to euthanize homeless people.

There has never been a more urgent time for independent media to rise and lead.

The following is a statement from the WGA on ABC’s decision to pull ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’

UPDATE: We now have a photo of the real Cory Zukatis, the homeless man found hanging from a tree in Vicksburg, Mississippi. There's also heartbreaking reporting from The Vicksburg Post: Zukatis was recently devastated after authorities took his dog from him and carried it to the pound. 1/3

Maybe Jimmy Kimmel should have just called for the killing of mentally ill homeless people. Oh wait, that was Brian Kilmeade, who is still on air...

Still no resolution

EDITOR'S NOTE: "Last week, the Mississippi Free Press was proud to welcome Kevin Edwards to the team as our new assistant editor," Ashton Pittman writes.

We've been retained by the family of Demartravion "Trey" Reed — the 21-yo Delta State University student whose body was found hanging from a tree. Trey was a young man full of promise and warmth, deeply loved and respected by all who knew him.

The family of Demartravion “Trey” Reed is seeking an independent autopsy following the Delta State University student’s death on Monday, when his body was found hanging in a tree on campus. buff.ly/4tv2FgO

This needs some serious attention!!

Happy Friday, ya’ll ☀️

✨ Still get chills seeing my name in a byline. Forever humbled & grateful. 💜 Grab a copy of the The Memphis Flyer and share this moment with me 📰 🙏🏾 Thanks to Trey Draper for this incredible story and for the way you continue to pour into Memphis.

🌞✨ Saturdays feel like a breath of fresh air. A chance to reset, enjoy the beauty around us, and appreciate how far we’ve come. I’m leaning into peace, choosing joy, and thanking God for the blessings in front of me. Wishing you the same today. 💛🌸 #HappySaturday #SaturdayBlessings #StayBlessed

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users. While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.

Might as well call us the Wing Capital of the World, Craig!! 200 spots though…#Choose901

🚨🚨🚨 Words by Shy🚨🚨🚨 The Memphis Grizzlies are betting on Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. to lead them as veterans, after a tough offseason of change and hard choices. www.memphisflyer.com/grizzlies-go...

We often forget that just waking up is a blessing. Every sunrise is God quietly reminding us—you get another chance. Another chance to slow down and actually enjoy life. Another chance to forgive, to heal, and to love.

Thousands without power AGAIN after this storm. MLGW should be embarrassed. Enough with the excuses and scare tactics about costs—just DO BETTER. Folks are TIRED. It’s too dang hot to be sitting in the dark with no POWER!

💭 Sometimes we confuse failing with being a failure. But they’re not the same thing. Failing is simply a moment in time, a lesson, a step along the path. It doesn’t define who you are.
