  • U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley Calls on Biden-Harris Administration to Halt Deportations to Haiti 

    THE AFRO — The violence in the Caribbean nation comes as gang members have grown frustrated with the postponement of presidential elections following the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moïse.

  • SDSU Student Pushes for Human Dignity, Amidst Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    SAN DIEGO VOICE AND VIEWPOINT — Among their Jewish and Palestinian students, many campuses have been grappling with the intersection of free speech, censorship, and academic freedom in a way that does not marginalize any belief. Students in support of Palestine have made their reasoning to demonstrate clear: to call upon their institution to cut financial ties with funding sources supporting Israel. Meanwhile, in the wake of this heightened intensity, many Jewish students feel as if their safety is threatened and the demonstrations display antisemitic undertones.

  • First AME Pastor Defends Bankruptcy Filing for FAME Corp

    LOS ANGELES WAVE — “The last thing I wanted these entities to do was file for Bankruptcy protection, but the three involved FAME corporations had assets that were encumbered or otherwise transferred to other parties under questionable circumstances, creating an untenable financial situation for the church,” Pastor Robert Shaw of First AME Church said in a statement released by the church. “The perceived mismanagement and unfair business practices in the administration that came after Rev Murray sparked a chain of events that led the three involved Fame entities to where they are now.

  • 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". Surveys show that most Americans believe that crime is increasing. I call this the "great crime disconnect" because for nearly two decades, public perceptions have been out of step with the evidence.
