[ad_1] Austin C. McCoy, Truthout Echoes of anti-slavery and civil rights struggles reverberate through the current uprising against ICE. It is difficult to find inspiration on this Juneteenth. We are still living in difficult times. In the last year, hundreds of thousands of African Americans have lost jobs. Some state legislatures in the South — Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Mississippi — have sought to dilute Black political power after the Supreme Court issued its Louisiana v. Callais decision.

States controlled by Democrats are, by and large, the worst offenders. For anyone who has followed the burgeoning and massive welfare fraud scandals in Minnesota and California, this trend is no surprise. And if my home state of Michigan is any indication,…
[ad_1] For all the talk of a “generation gap” between younger and older voters, Americans share an unignorable disillusionment with the state of today’s politics. Only 14% of baby boomers and 18% of the silent generation, alongside 15% of millennials and 19% of Generation Z, trust the government almost always or most of the time.
