Mr. President: If you force me to choose, you will lose

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. I vote in every election.

Donald Trump is the greatest N-word of all time

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. A racist called me the n-word today. Or, maybe, yesterday; I can’t be sure. As someone who’s publicly taught, discussed and written about race for more than two decades, I’ve been called more racial slurs than you can imagine. While “moon cricket” is my favorite, if we searched every inbox in Black America, I’d probably rank in the top […]

Obama could be Biden’s secret weapon with Black voters

As President Joe Biden navigates shaky terrain with Black voters ahead of the 2024 presidential election, he may have at least one secret weapon on the campaign trail: former President Barack Obama. “President Obama continues to be an asset for Democrats,” Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist, told theGrio. “Fundraising … [and] mobilizing Black voters is a place he can help.” “[Obama] was a key part of the closing crew in 2020 [and] … he was engaged in ’22 in some […]

House Democrats plan to put pressure on House Republicans to approve funding to rebuild the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. Rep. Kweisi Mfume, D-Md., told theGrio “When I’m back on the floor on Tuesday I will speak passionately about funding the bridge” and about why the actions of GOP members “are so counterproductive.” On March 26, the bridge collapsed after a massive cargo ship rammed into one of the bridge’s support beams and plunged the bridge into the Patapsco […]

Florida’s six-week ban will disproportionately harm Black Americans. Voters could change that in November

After Florida enacted one of the strictest abortion bans in the country earlier this week, lawmakers and advocates are decrying how it will disproportionately harm Black and brown Americans. The ban’s ultimate fate, however, lies in the hands of voters in November. On Monday, the majority-conservative Florida Supreme Court voted to keep in place the state’s 15-week abortion ban that Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law in 2022. The bill also triggered a six-week abortion ban that DeSantis signed […]

The dangers of health care workers reporting self-managed abortions to law enforcement

Abortion rights advocates fear women, especially those from marginalized communities, will stop seeking medical care due to health care workers alerting law enforcement about patients who have self-managed abortions. The practice will scare women “from feeling like they can confide in and share information with their doctors” who are there to “help them and take care of them,” Lauren Johnson, director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Abortion Criminal Defense Initiative, told theGrio. According to the National Institutes of Health […]

However, RNC’s research division credits the assessment to Quentin […]
