Dueling Harris, Trump rallies in Atlanta arena show nation’s divides

ATLANTA (AP) — Two rallies. Two Americas. Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump stood in the same arena four days apart, each looking over capacity crowds like concert stars or prizefighters. The competing events were staged three months before Election Day in the state that produced the closest margin of the 2020 race for the White House. On policy, tone, the types of voters in attendance and even the music playlists, the rallies offered not just opposing visions of the country […]

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was short in stature, but friends and colleagues of the longtime congresswoman remember her as someone who was a giant in her hometown of Houston, Texas, and in the nation’s capital. “She had no peer. There was no one you could compare her to. She was in a class by herself,” said Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., who grew close with Jackson Lee while they served together in the Congressional Black Caucus and through their shared membership […]

Trump questioning Harris’ race shows ignorance of code-switching

Kamala Harris has range. She can grill nominees for the Supreme Court or meet with foreign dignitaries, then pivot to hosting a Diwali celebration or dancing enthusiastically alongside an HBCU-styled marching band. It is a dexterity that Harris, the first Black woman and Asian American to serve as vice president, developed as a person of color to navigate the corridors of power or Main Street in a nation where race and identity influence how one is received or embraced. Harris, […]

A pro-Israel super PAC helped defeat one Squad member. Now it’s going after another, Cori Bush

ST. LOUIS (AP) — A deep-pocketed pro-Israel super PAC that helped defeat one member of the congressional group known as the Squad is now pushing to oust another — Missouri Democrat Cori Bush. Bush, of St. Louis, has been a vocal critic of how Israel responded when attacked by Hamas in October, calling the Israeli retaliation an “ethnic cleansing campaign,” and she was among the few House members who opposed a resolution supporting Israel. She boycotted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech before Congress last week, calling […]

The burden of working for racial justice is laid on the very people bearing the brunt of the injustice and not the powerful people who maintain it. I say to you:  I refuse. — NIkole Hannah-Jones On April 23, 1899, Georgia’s Caucasian citizenry gathered in Newnan to participate in one of white America’s greatest traditions: They were going to lynch Sam Hose.  Hose was a Black man who was accused of brutally murdering his employer, the employer’s wife and the […]

TV Judge Lauren Lake used to argue in courtrooms against prosecutors as a criminal defense attorney, but today, she’s calling on voters everywhere to give former prosecutor Vice President Kamala Harris a shot. Lake, who hosts “Paternity Matters” and “We The People” (produced by theGrio’s parent company Allen Media Group), says in the era of Donald Trump and Supreme Court rulings protecting presidents from criminal prosecution, voters shouldn’t dismiss Harris because she once worked in a flawed justice system. “As […]

Watch: Would Biden honor Sheila Jackson Lee with executive action on reparations?

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee was laid to rest this week in Houston after losing her battle with cancer on July 19. The 74-year-old longtime congresswoman’s signature bill in recent years was HR 40, which would create a U.S. commission to study reparations for African-American citizens. Jackson Lee took up the mantle of introducing the bill every session of Congress after the late Rep. John Conyers of Michigan left office. But after more than 30 years, the legislation has yet to […]
