Could former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms crack the smoked glass ceiling?

1 week 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 weeks 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.
A cop almost got a woman deported — but snitching was against the rules

As it turns out, the upending of immigration policy isn’t just a Washington thing. It extends to pretty much everywhere in this country we humans call home. In one case on Detroit’s Southwest side, it even resulted in a cop snitching on a woman who was an immigrant, violating police policy. Outlier Media reports that the woman walked into the Detroit Police’s Fourth Precinct station to report a crime, and while there she volunteered information about her immigration status.
Democratic Party leaders: Is Schumer backlash the party's Titanic?

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

It’s been quite a fortnight for Sen. Chuck Schumer. He was riding high as the leader of the Democratic opposition to the MAGA takeover of the U.S. government … until one choice led to him being reviled by colleagues and his party. On March 13, the minority leader of the U.S. Senate announced he’d vote to advance the Republican funding bill just 24 hours after he said he wouldn’t.
Trump administration upends Haitian lives with policy shift

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

Haitian immigrants are among the latest major targets of the Trump administration’s efforts to make life as hard as possible for people who’ve migrated to American shores. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security has reneged on the government’s pledge for Haitians in the country to live here under Temporary Protected Status, which meant that they would be free from the threat of deportation until February 2026. The government now says they can stay only until August under that designation.
How activists are fighting Trump’s ‘final mission’ assault on education

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

No surprises here. It was all there in Project 2025, the right-wing roadmap to governing that Donald Trump denied would have a role in his presidential administration: Education and people of color are the scapegoats for just about everything the president and his Republican Party think is wrong with America. We’ve already talked about the danger the administration poses to education funding writ large.
Professional organizations sound alarm on Trump-era hiring rollbacks

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

In the month since Donald Trump took office, it’s been hard to focus on any one thing that has come down as a result of his administration’s punitive policies. If it wasn’t DOGE hacking sensitive information, it’s been plane crashes in the wake of firings of key FAA staff, or immigrants being terrorized by the push to get rid of anyone who speaks Spanish, or fears of inflation since the price of eggs keeps rising.
Education funding is under threat and students of color are at risk

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

Donald Trump’s threats to education funding are real and threaten the upward mobility of millions of American students — and that’s the way the president and Republicans like it. The Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE) and his own executive orders put the Department of Education on the chopping block, with little or no regard to exactly how the changes will affect Americans.
The DEI decision: Why boycotting companies that ignore the Black dollar works…and why it’s risky

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

Summary: Companies are rolling back their diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives as they follow the elimination of it in the federal government, and activists and individuals are ready to respond. History teaches us there are strategic ways to go about it that work, but anyone engaged must be careful — and patient.
