Kamala Harris says Trump’s comment on women ‘is offensive to everybody’

PHOENIX (AP) — Kamala Harris said Thursday that Donald Trump’s comment that he would protect women whether they “like it or not” shows that the Republican presidential nominee does not understand women’s rights “to make decisions about their own lives, including their own bodies.” “I think it’s offensive to everybody, by the way,” Harris said before she set out to spend the day campaigning in the Western battleground states of Arizona and Nevada. She followed up those remarks at her […]

Harris stood for workers like me on the picket line. Trump stood for the execution of innocent Black men. I’m standing with Harris.

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. When William Lucy and Martin Luther King Jr. led thousands of Black Memphis sanitation workers on strike in 1968, Lucy’s powerful statement defined a movement: “I am a MAN.” The movement demanded respect, better pay, safer working conditions, and the same opportunities as white men for a better life.  The same fight continues today. I am a father of […]

Inspired by Harris, many Black sorority and fraternity members are helping downballot races

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — U.S. Rep. Jahana Hayes isn’t a member of the historically Black sororities and fraternities known as the “Divine Nine.” But throughout her hotly contested reelection campaign this year, Hayes, the first Black woman to represent Connecticut in Congress, has sometimes felt like she’s a fellow soror, the term used by Black Greek organizations for sorority sisters. On their own, members have shown up to call voters, organize fundraisers, knock on doors, cheer Hayes on at campaign events and […]

Trump’s Madison Square Garden event features crude and racist insults

NEW YORK (AP) — Donald Trump hosted a rally featuring crude and racist insults at New York’s Madison Square Garden, turning what his campaign had dubbed as the event where he would deliver his closing message into an illustration of what turns off his critics. With just over a week before Election Day, speakers at the rally Sunday night labeled Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” called Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris “the devil,” and said the woman vying to become the first […]

Trump says his New York rally marked by crude and racist insults was ‘an absolute lovefest.’ He described Jan. 6 the same way.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Urged by some allies to apologize for racist comments made by speakers at his weekend rally, Donald Trump took the opposite approach on Tuesday, saying it was an “honor to be involved” in such an event and calling the scene a “lovefest” — the same term he has used to describe the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Trump gathered supporters and reporters to his Mar-a-Lago resort two days after a massive rally at Madison Square Garden featured a […]

A decade of racial justice activism transformed politics but landmark reforms remain elusive

WASHINGTON (AP) — Cori Bush went from helping to lead an informal movement for racial justice to winning two terms as a congresswoman from Missouri, with an office decorated with photographs of families who lost loved ones to police violence. One picture is of Michael Brown. Brown’s death 10 years ago in Ferguson, Missouri, was a defining moment for America’s racial justice movement. It cast a global spotlight on longtime demands for reforms to systems subjecting millions of people to everything from economic discrimination to murder. […]
