'Year in Hate' report outlines dangers of far-right takeover

1 week ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

If you’ve been paying attention, the federal government has been railing in every corner against DEI and has been voracious in trying to eliminate it in both the public and private sectors. But they’ve been quite silent when it comes to extremism from hate groups.
Start local, think national: What to do 5 years after George Floyd

1 week ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

Five years ago, on May 25, 2020, George Floyd, a Minneapolis part-time security guard, died in a police encounter. An officer knelt on his neck for almost nine minutes. The incident, caught by a teenager and posted on Facebook, set off months of massive protests across the country. But since then, justice seems to have taken a step backward, says Jami Hodge, Executive Director of Equal Justice USA, a nonprofit dedicated to addressing violence in the justice system.
What Queens owes Malcolm X on his centennial

2 weeks ago | url-media.com | S. Mitra Kalita

The legacy of Malcolm X seemingly grows more powerful over time. And yet his house in Queens—purchased by the Nation of Islam as a sanctuary for his family, only to be repeatedly firebombed—displays not even a reference to its most famous inhabitant. As the world celebrates the centennial birth anniversary of Malcolm X, it feels necessary to remind everyone: Malcolm X lived in Queens, the most diverse place on the planet.

According to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, the agency she leads is following the law, giving people due process, and ridding the country of undesirables who have no business on U.S. soil. Many would disagree with her. Many feel that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has transformed from the DHS sub-agency started in 2003 to fight cross-border crime into a league of secret police.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: Is she the next Democratic power player?

4 weeks ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

If you’ve been following Congress over the past few months, there’s no way you missed Rep. Jasmine Crockett. Even if you weren’t paying attention, she caught the eye of America’s politics watchers as a vocal agitator against not only Donald Trump’s policies, but his whole administration and legislative loyalists.
HBCUs: Trump’s Black college initiative is similar to Obama’s

1 month ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

If you were wondering when Donald Trump would get around to saying something about HBCUs, your wait is over. He recently released an executive order that, in his mind, bolsters Black colleges (since he thinks he can be Pope, does this order make him think he’s Booker T. Washington?).
Karmelo Anthony: Dispelling the misinformation

1 month ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

The controversy surrounding Karmelo Anthony and his family is increasing in the weeks following the allegations that the 17-year-old high schooler stabbed Austin Metcalf, also 17, to death at a track meet. But there is a lot of misinformation surrounding the story, much of it posted to social media by far-right trolls, or white supremacists out to convict Anthony without a trial and vilify his family.
Why Trump tariffs could mean especially rough waters for Black and Brown communities

1 month ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

It would be a good guess that if you’re not confused by all the news on Donald Trump’s tariff policies, you’re at least frustrated. Although he claims that America is profiting from imposing taxes on imports, there is no evidence of that, and the stock market is the most volatile it’s been in years, with the retirement accounts of millions at stake. But there’s also a cost where the rubber hits the road, namely Main Street, U.S.A. – or translated to Urban America, MLK Boulevard.
Could former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms crack the smoked glass ceiling?

1 month ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

It’s not a closely guarded secret that Keisha Lance Bottoms is floating toward announcing a run for governor of Georgia. Local station WXIA said the former Atlanta mayor pretty much confirmed her intention to seek the office in the 2026 race, and all that’s left is a formal announcement. But her race would also mark the third consecutive time a Black woman has gone up against a powerful Republican candidate.
Fair housing advocates claim a victory, for now, against HUD and DOGE

2 months ago | url-media.com | Madison Gray

Amid the turmoil since the Trump administration’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, began slashing funding and firing workers across the federal structure, housing has not received much media attention. In fact the most significant thing that has happened with the Department of Housing and Urban Development has been the reported plans to cut its staff by half.
