Black Men and the Summer of Self

1 day ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Corey Richardson

I was recently asked to participate in a podcast. I declined. It’s not that I’m too good for a podcast or any negative sentiment. It’s just that there are way too many Black men out here right now with them hip-shooting hot takes instead of honing in on healing. Look, I get it. A homey just wants to be heard. We want our takes respected, our life stories understood, and our pain acknowledged.
Louisiana Lawmakers Vote Against Adding Rape Exception To Abortion Ban

1 day ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Joe Jurado

Louisiana is home to one of the strictest abortion bans in the country. State legislators have worked for the last three years to add an exception to the ban for underage children who were impregnated through sexual assault, and for the third year in a row the state legislature has rejected it. According to AP News, the bill was rejected on a 3-9 vote, with two Democrats joining their Republican colleagues in voting against it. The bill was authored by Democratic Rep.

10 hours agoNationals from twelve countries are barred from entering the U.S. as the White House deputy chief of staff demands 3,000 deportations a day.

2 days ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Joe Jurado

Earlier this year, President Trump signed an executive order to unseal documents related to the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. before their original court-appointed release date. Amidst pushback from the King family, a federal judge has stated he’s open to granting the Trump administration’s request.
Texas Is The Latest State To Censor Higher Education Over DEI Concerns

2 days ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Joe Jurado

In its ongoing race to beat Florida for the title of “America’s Most Inept State,” the Texas state legislature has passed a series of bills that would greatly censor the educational curriculum taught in the state’s universities and ban student-led groups centered around race, gender, or sexuality in public K-12 schools. Why? Well, because of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), of course.
Trump Revives Travel Ban, Targets 19 Countries In New Executive Order

2 days ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Tiffany Hamilton

In a sweeping move that marks the return of one of his most controversial first-term policies, President Donald Trump announced a new travel ban this week that bars nationals from 12 countries and imposes partial visa restrictions on seven others. Framing the order as a matter of national security, Trump signed the proclamation Wednesday, just five days before the policy takes effect.
Several Lawsuits Filed In Louisiana To Combat Environmental Racism

3 days ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Joe Jurado

Environmental racism has long been an issue in Louisiana. To drive home how big of an issue it’s been, there’s an 85-mile stretch of land called “Cancer Alley,” due to the number of petrochemical plants built in the area. Unsurprisingly, that stretch of land is filled with low-income, predominantly Black communities. In a much-needed win, a federal judge ruled that a lawsuit alleging Louisiana’s St James Parish engaged in racist land-use policies can proceed.

Job Corps ‘Pause’ Is MAGA’s Plan To Eliminate Poor Youth

4 days ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge

Donald Trump loves telling the country that we need more people in the trades instead of racking up college debt. Yet his administration is axing Job Corps — the very program that teaches the most vulnerable kids how to fix engines, wire houses, care for the sick, and build a life. Turns out the only trade Trump thinks poor kids should master is how to pack a trash bag, disappear, and die quietly. So much for making America great again, eh?
Trump Admin Abruptly Closes Job Corps Centers Nationwide

4 days ago | newsone.com | Monique Judge |Joe Jurado

Another day, another needlessly cruel move by the Trump administration. The targets this time are low-income, at-risk youth after the administration announced the sudden closure of the Job Corps program. The administration released a statement on May 29 announcing that all Job Corps centers will pause operations by June 30. Job Corps was a federally funded program that provided education, career-oriented skills training, and housing support for low-income, at-risk youth.
