Mitch McConnell Says He'd 'Absolutely' Support Another Trump Presidency Despite Trump Calling Him a 'Political Hack'
That’s it: Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell shall henceforth be known by the name Trump’s-Lil’-Bitch McConnell. That’s all you can call him after ex-President Donald Trump referred to McConnell as “a dour, sullen, and unsmiling political hack,” and the Kentucky senator and senior citizen Yertle the Turtle cosplayer responded by telling Fox Snooze’s Bret Baier,…

Georgia High School Teacher Tells Class Breonna Taylor's Death Was Her 'Criminal' Boyfriend's and Her Own Fault
It’s about time we have a serious conversation about how a lot of white teachers have no business whatsoever teaching Black students. Earlier this Black History Month, The Root reported that a teacher in Florida—who must have gotten his doctorate in unmitigated caucasity long before he achieved the credentials that put him in charge of…

Las Vegas Police Say They Fatally Shot BLM Protester After He Raised Rifle. Video Appears to Show Something Different
As a news reporter, my rule of thumb is that the media shouldn’t take police accounts of incidents at face value. Law enforcement officers have every reason to lie just as the civilians they police do, and I’ve covered too many stories where video footage contradicted what officers said happened in their reports. Last June,…

Michigan Police Officer on Unpaid Leave After Being Accused of Sharing Racist George Floyd Meme
There’s a reason I generally never feel bad about the negative things I say and write about police officers. I’ve spent much of my life witnessing the disregard and even the contempt a lot of cops have for Black life. And that’s only based on what I’ve observed in person—I can only imagine what cops…

Wisconsin Group Tried to Purge Nearly 17,000 Eligible Voters Because Voter Suppression Is the Republican Way
Republicans don’t want non-Republicans voting. This statement is as factual as “Two plus two equals four.” Don’t get me wrong: I’m sure Democrats would also not fall into a deep depression if every Republican voter on Earth suddenly caught the Thanos snap, but they’re not the ones actively trying to limit voter access, delegitimize legally…

Alleged Capitol Rioter Identified After Ex-Girlfriend Shared Berating Texts Sent From the Capitol With the FBI
It’s been going on close to two months since the redneck Taliban attacked the U.S. Capitol building because the Republican mafia led them to believe the 2020 election had been stolen. But the FBI is still identifying and arresting people suspected of taking part in the whiney and wrong wypipo war on non-MAGA votes. A…

Black Oklahoma Student Says White Teacher Berated Him Over ‘Black King’ T-shirt, Called for White History Month
White fragility is a hell of a drug. It’s the origin story of “all lives matter.” It’s why white people who are just now discovering the existence of critical race theory—a thing that has existed in academia for decades and is backed by volumes of research—are now trying to ban it into oblivion without taking…

Black Lives Matter Global Network Reveals Its Finances Amid Criticism for Lack of Transparency
Black Lives Matter is multiple things; it’s a statement, a movement, a network of local organizations and a global network. Like anything that is a lot of things all at once, BLM has seen its share of messaging issues and clashes between activists and organizers with different visions of what the movement is and should…

‘Be Less White’: Coca-Cola Faces Backlash for Giving Wypipo Wonderful Advice in Diversity Training Program
“Be less white.” If it were up to me, this would be America’s motto. Instead of the Pledge of Allegiance, children in school should stand up before class, put their hands over their hearts and shout “BE LESS WHITE” at the flag for five minutes before beginning the day’s lessons. (I’m old AF and I…

Grand Jury Declines to Charge Rochester Police Officers in Daniel Prude’s Death
On Tuesday, Rochester, N.Y., continued America’s long-standing tradition of not holding police officers accountable for their careless actions when dealing with Black people. On March 23, last year, Rochester police officers encountered Daniel Prude while he was walking naked in the street. Prude was clearly in need of help, but instead of receiving the care…
