Earlier this year, the world was changed forever when the video of George Floyd being murdered by police circulated online. The video sparked protests across the world for weeks straight and through family and friends, we came to know George Floyd as a person, son, father, and so much more. Floyd was taken from his daughter Gianna’s life while she was just six years old. For her birthday, Ericka and William Platt of Restaurant Ten pulled out all the stops to give her an unforgettable birthday party. According to TMZ, Lil Baby used the proceeds from “The Bigger Picture” to help throw the party for Floyd’s daughter, Gianna, in Atlanta.

Video from the bash shows a huge playroom decked out with tons of colorful balloons, birthday signs and a bunch of food. The venue looks pretty big, it’s at least 2 stories, and there are other areas where Gianna and the girls are getting their hair done, plus manicures and foot spas.

Lil Baby stopped to take a couple pictures with the birthday girl … and Gianna says she was totally surprised. LB’s not the only celeb in attendance showing love to George’s little girl — former NBA star Stephen Jackson is there too. Remember, Stephen made a promise to George’s family to do everything he can to be like a father figure to Gianna.

Jackson, who was super close to Floyd and often called him his “twin,” promised to take care of Gianna and her family following his tragic passing.

“I think I adopted another child, God put me into this position,” shared the retired NBA star during an interview with Forbes. “I’m going to do the best that I can.”

The former Golden State Warriors player also revealed that he is working to advocate for social justice across the country in light of Floyd’s death.

“I have dedicated my life to going to all 50 states and visiting areas that need resources and letting them know they have a voice,” he says. “When I went to Minnesota to speak up for my brother, I inherited other people’s pain, who lost loved ones to police brutality and racism or who do not have a voice to speak.”

Gianna’s mother Roxie Washington expressed her gratitude towards Lil Baby for supporting Gianna during this “difficult time.”

“This is a very difficult time for my daughter, so we’re very grateful that our extended family is creating such a special experience for Gianna on her first birthday without her father,” she shared.

Since the passing of George Floyd, the Platt family has also stepped in and been an emotional support system to Gianna and her mother Roxie Washington. We are glad they could come together and bring smiles to their faces during such a difficult time. Through the “Love to all who have a love for all” organization created by Stephen Jackson; you can support children who have experienced the loss of a parent.

This week in politics, the vibes are messy, alarming, and straight-up confusing. From late night TV being snatched off the air to vaccine policies getting hijacked, it’s giving “WTF is going on?” Let’s break down the headlines everyone’s talking about inside. First Amendment on the Chopping Block Jimmy Kimmel’s late night show has been pulled from ABC, and Stephen Colbert’s show? Cancelled completely. The official line is murky, but the bigger picture is loud. Free speech is being tested under the Trump administration. While Trump once said he’d “honor” the First Amendment, recent moves suggest he’s working off a remix version that only benefits him. Case in point? The Guardian reports his $15 billion lawsuit against The New York Times. A judge already tossed it out, saying Trump’s claims about “false content” violated federal rules. Still, the fact that these lawsuits and cancellations keep happening has people questioning the future of free expression in America. CDC Shake-Up Sparks Health Concerns Meanwhile, over at the CDC, things are getting political fast. Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has basically turned the agency upside down, firing all 17 members of the vaccine advisory committee and replacing them with appointees that include vaccine skeptics. On top of that, the CDC director is out, high-level staffers are resigning, and decisions about vaccine safety are suddenly more about politics than science. Public health leaders are calling this move dangerous, saying it dismantles independent oversight just when Americans need clarity most. According to California’s government website, they are one of the few states pushing back on the federal government’s stance. California, Washington, and Hawaii aren’t taking it lying down. The states have formed an alliance pushing back on the feds, promising to keep vaccine guidance rooted in science, safety, and transparency. Their health officers are reviewing guidelines from trusted medical groups like the AAP and ACOG to ensure communities still have access to clinically recommended vaccines. Trump & Xi Meet About US TikTok’s Next Chapter And then there’s TikTok. After years of “will they, won’t they?” drama, Trump announced that he and Chinese Premier Xi Jinping approved a deal for TikTok’s U.S. operations. According to BBC, the plan reportedly hands control to a group of U.S. investors, sidestepping a shutdown. Trump called the call with Xi “productive” on Truth Social, and even, teased a face-to-face meetup at the APEC summit in South Korea this fall. From free speech battles to vaccine wars and TikTok drama, this week in politics has us all asking the same thing: WTFGO?
