/

One of the unmistakable throughlines of the second Trump administration is how it’s overhauling policies that directly affect African Americans, most notably by targeting programs and initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, or DEI.  For journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones, it’s an attempt to take the country back to an era before the civil rights movement.

The Haitians of Springfield Are Under Attack Yet Again

/

The people of Springfield, Ohio, are exhausted. It’s been one hit after another lately. Some of the trouble started back in 2024, when Donald Trump claimed during a presidential debate that Haitian immigrants in this small blue-collar city were eating their neighbors’ cats and dogs. It was a false, racist rumor, but it thrust the […]

The US Government Keeps Using Dangerous Chemicals on Protestors

On a rainy evening in early May, several armed ICE agents in tactical vests closed in on a small red sedan at a gas station in South Nashville.

Everybody Hates Cory

/

Over the past few months, I have spoken to over a dozen people who know Rep. Cory Mills. Nearly everyone, I found, dislikes him. Some outright despise him: “repulsive and vile,” “schmuck,” “little bitch.” Others were more formal. “I have no use for people with no honor,” an Idaho firearms instructor who worked with Mills […]
