Trump’s executive order on homelessness, which disproportionately impacts Black Americans, slammed as ‘cruel and inhumane’

Advocates and elected officials are slamming President Donald Trump‘s executive order cracking down on homelessness. Under the guise of protecting “citizens vulnerable to public safety threats,” the “Ending Crime and Disorder on America’s Streets” order enforces involuntary civil commitment for individuals living on the streets. The order calls for unhoused people suffering from mental illness or addiction to be admitted into mental health institutions or drug treatment centers without their consent. “Forcibly removing people from the streets and institutionalizing them […]

“Sordid… Scandalous. Corrupt.”  House of Representatives Democratic Leader U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., is on the offensive over the Epstein files. After President Donald Trump and Republicans did a rhetorical about-face on releasing the files, many of their right-leaning supporters are angry—and it’s created an opening for Democrats to slam GOP leaders and share their message. “I support transparency,” Jeffries said at a recent press conference. “The far right, Donald Trump, right-wing conspiracy theorists, and others are the ones who […]

The Science of Delineation, Special FBA Freedmen Message

In the beginning, writing was a personal method of releasing toxic emotions, stress, anger, and tension. A self-healing exercise recommended to me by my therapist, I used writing to deal with emotions in a quiet and healthy way. But then one day, without warning, I watched the pen be mightier than the sword right in front of my eyes and I was hooked. Since then writing has become a passion, a purpose, a hobby, and even a side hustle. No […]

Trump’s EPA repeal of climate change rule will result in ‘slow suffocation’ of Black communities

The Trump administration has taken steps to undo a key federal scientific finding that has been used to combat the climate change crisis in the United States for more than 15 years. The move stands to exacerbate the vulnerabilities of a warming planet and pollution, most especially Black and Brown communities, which are disproportionately exposed to environmental harms. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reportedly drafted a proposal to rescind a 2009 rule that has been used to regulate air pollution. […]
