Whoever is the target of a particular sticky type of stereotype, particularly a fear-inducing one, you'll see that particular group spike, says hate crime expert Brian Levin. Overall hate-crime incidents fell 11% in 2025 from the previous year, but anti-Latino hate crimes rose 18% to a record 1,014 incidents.

A group of 12 Republicans in the South Carolina House of Representatives introduced H-5501, a concurrent resolution that calls on the state to 'reject the Supreme Court of the United States' Obergefell decision and to call on the Supreme Court to reverse Obergefell and restore the natural law definition of marriage.'

"Latetia was beautifully brilliant. She was essential to our family, her friends, and colleagues."

The federal government is pursuing a multi-layered detention expansion plan that has already pushed the number of people held in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) custody past 70,000, with stated goals of reaching more than 100,000.

Supporters of the bill describe it as a privacy safeguard, while opponents warn it could stigmatize transgender students and expose them to harassment or forced outing.

The moment a case is ruled a suicide, it's no longer investigated as a potential homicide. It defies logic to assume someone climbed eight or nine feet into a tree with a noose around their neck and hanged themselves. These cases deserve thorough homicide investigations from the start to ensure justice and accountability.

On Thursday, Mississippi Today reported that several officials, who requested anonymity out of fear of retribution, said NPS told them to remove visitor brochures from the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument and edit out details about Beckwith. Among the details reportedly flagged for removal: that Evers was found lying in a pool of blood after he was shot. The brochures referred to Beckwith as "a member of the racist and segregationist White Citizens' Council."

Jackson led seven Black high school students into that segregated branch, where they sat down and read books and magazines until they were arrested. The branches closed, then quietly reopened for all. With that action, Jackson launched his career and crusade fighting for equality for all.

The Georgia jury was not so forgiving of a parent who gave an AR-15 to a 14-year-old child. They are only the second jury in American history to find a parent guilty after their child went on a shooting spree at a school. It is an important step forward in what CNN calls a growing nationwide effort 'to hold more people accountable for a school shooting, including the shooter's parents and responding law enforcement officers.'

Yet while "Abolish ICE" serves as a unifying chant in the streets, Democrats are once again seeking to temper and co-opt people's demands into a narrow version of reform. The demands outlined by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer could not be more toothless: requiring ICE agents to unmask, wear body cameras, and to follow a code of conduct modeled on other law enforcement agencies.

David Hutchinson set out for South Carolina late last year in hopes of striking it rich, his family said. But the Massachusetts man vanished soon after, only to be found dead inside a trash can behind an abandoned house. Now, Hutchinson's family is left searching for answers as police in South Carolina investigate his death as a homicide. The 32-year-old former Oakham, Massachusetts, resident

Two amendments were ultimately added to the bill following the debate on the House floor: One would threaten up to life in prison for giving abortion pills to a pregnant person without their knowledge. (Administering drugs without consent is already a crime, but this amendment dramatically escalates the penalty.) The other makes it illegal to raise funds or distribute money to buy abortion pills, potentially destroying the crucial and life-saving work of abortion funds.

Yeah, what's the difference? I mean, it must be exhausting with these people's mental gymnastics. Like, okay, okay. Let's use for the sake of argument, let's use their logic. And then that anybody that interferes or MP with law enforcement will meet the consequences. Let's use that logic. Okay. By that logic, every single person at January 6th should have been shot dead! By their logic! I'm not suggesting that let's be a hundred percent clear.
