Face-down restraint, the position in which George Floyd died, on verge of returning to Minn. schools

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota lawmakers are on the verge of a compromise that will give police officers who work in schools clearer authority to use force. Minnesota reacted to the 2020 murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis officer with a series of police accountability measures that included restrictions on the use of force, such as ban on chokeholds. But a section of a broad education law enacted last year led around 40 police departments across the state […]

Everybody hates Biden – TheGrio

Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio. Everyone hates turnips.  The fact that turnips rank first among my siblings’ most hated vegetables should come as no surprise. No one likes them. Unfortunately, turnips were the main crop grown in my grandmother’s vegetable garden, which meant that we’d have to eat “angry collards” every winter. But when it comes to me and my siblings, our second-most hated […]

Supreme Court ruling to keep Trump on 2024 ballot goes ‘well beyond’ 14th Amendment case 

Former President Donald Trump will remain on all 2024 presidential primary ballots following the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling. Democratic strategist Ameshia Cross told theGrio that this decision “was expected” and that the court did the right thing. “If the court ruled any other way, what would have happened is patchwork,” she explained. “States would have decided maybe they would include Trump on the ballot, maybe they wouldn’t.” On the other hand, she added that states would have had the authority […]

Before delivering remarks commemorating Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, and the continued fight to preserve voting rights for Black Americans, Vice President Kamala Harris addressed the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and notably called for an “immediate ceasefire.”“People in Gaza are starving.

Chicago ‘mansion’ tax to fund homeless services faces legal limbo

CHICAGO (AP) — An unusual legal challenge may upend the future of a Chicago ballot measure that would hike a real estate tax on high-end property sales to fund services for homeless people. Such citywide ballot measures are rare in the nation’s third-largest city, but other cities, including Los Angeles, have approved similar so-called “mansion taxes.” A Cook County judge last month rejected the measure, but backers of the effort, called Bring Chicago Home, hope it will be overturned. Supporters of a […]
