  • Calif. Anti-Sex Trafficking Advocates Discuss Competing Bills, Strategies

    OAKLAND POST — “It is time to send a thorough message that if you seek to buy a child for sex, you will pay the highest criminal penalties in this state,” said the Rev. Shane Harris, a San Diego-based activist, former foster youth and founder of the Peoples Association of Justice Advocates, (PAJA), a national civil rights organization and policy think tank. Harris, who was speaking at a rally at the State Capitol earlier this month, was speaking in support of Senate Bill 1414, authored by Sen. Shannon Grove (D-Bakersfield), which calls for people who buy sex from minors to be punished with a felony. The punishment includes a two-year prison sentence and a $25,000 fine. The post Calif.

  • The TINA TURNER Musical Reveals Trials and Triumphs

    THE OKLAHOMA EAGLE — The 1993 movie “What’s Love Got to Do with It” portrayed the relationship between Ike and Tina Turner as abusive before their breakup.

  • OP-ED: To Fear a Protest: Columbia University’s Forceful Response to Peaceful and Legitimate Protest

    NEW YORK AMSTERDAM NEWS — True leaders come to the table prepared for discourse; cowards find something to hide behind. In an egregious display of weakness, the university affirmed that it feared the political views of its students. By arresting more than 100 peacefully assembled young adults, Columbia demonstrated just how vulnerable it is to the leaders they’ve created. What [Columbia University president Namet] Shafik fails to understand is that silencing protest through force only validates the need for protest and inspires more civil unrest.  The post OP-ED: To Fear a Protest: Columbia University’s Forceful Response to Peaceful and Legitimate Protest first appeared on BlackPressUSA.

  • Meat Alternatives

    On May 1, Governor Ron DeSantis signed into law a ban on the sale of lab-grown meat in Florida. (Alabama passed a similar bill on Tuesday; Arizona and Tennessee may soon follow suit.) The new law is meant to protect Florida's billion-dollar-per-year cattle industry, as DeSantis acknowledges, but he also chose to frame what was, in essence, a business decision in terms of an epic clash between ideologies.

  • The Great Crime Disconnect: Part 2

    Crime rates in the U.S. have been dropping since the 1990s. Criminologists and other experts sometimes call this the "great crime decline".
