An old ‘IT outage’ alert confuses voters in Ga. county with largest number of Black voters, raises questions about ‘cheating’

Warnings of an “unexpected IT outage” Tuesday on the election website of Georgia’s most populous county prompted alarm on social media about potential problems with the state’s presidential primary, concerns election officials quickly dispelled. A red banner atop county webpages warning of a “System Outage” was actually related to a January cyberattack that temporarily crippled government services in Fulton County, which includes Atlanta. It did not indicate any problems with Tuesday’s voting, officials said. “Today has gone relatively uneventful, smooth,” Secretary of […]

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s co-opting of #SayHerName is egregious, but white people do this all the 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. They want our rhythm, but not our blues.  I say that a lot in my writing because a lot of my writing highlights the many ways in which (some) white people trip over themselves to co-opt and flat-out steal ideas, phrases, content, dances, music, and anything else Black people have. It is a founding principle of this country; it […]
