‘At What Cost’: Tobacco Bar Bill Is A Step Away From Improved Health For All

October 25, 2025

By Darryl Davidson I’m writing to express my opposition to the Wisconsin Assembly/Senate Bill 211, otherwise known as the Tobacco Bar Bill.

Shutdown and Shutout: No Longer A Government By the People

October 25, 2025

Say Something Real By Michelle Bryant With every passing day, the Trump administration’s disregard for democratic norms grows more audacious, and the consequences for ordinary Americans become more severe.

Healthcare Crisis: Government Shutdown Exposes America’s Moral Failure

October 25, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers As federal workers miss their paychecks and families wonder how they’ll feed their children this week, we must ask ourselves: How did we arrive at this moment?

Kweku’s Korner By Tiffany Taylor, LCSW BCD For the past eight years, I’ve spent countless hours on the sidelines, not as a clinician or scholar, but as a sports mom.

We Can’t Afford to Lose in 2026 – And We Can’t Risk Another Mandela Barnes Loss

October 21, 2025

By Milwaukee Courier Staff In 2022, Mandela Barnes had his shot. He was our Lieutenant Governor. He had every advantage. The primary field cleared for him to be the Democratic nominee for U.S. Senate. And still—he lost. By just over 26,000 votes. That alone might be forgivable. But let’s not forget the part that too […]

When the Government Shuts Down, Black Women Pay the Price

October 18, 2025

By LaKeshia N. Myers The ongoing federal government shutdown is not just a Washington crisis—it’s a family crisis, a community crisis, and most acutely, a Black women’s crisis. As Congress remains deadlocked and the Trump administration uses federal workers as political pawns, the human toll continues to mount. And once again, Black women are bearing […]

Trump’s “Beautiful Black Women” Lie and the Complicity That Betrays Us

October 18, 2025

Black Press USA Senior National Correspondent Donald Trump’s claim that “beautiful Black women” were begging him to come to Chicago was not flattery. It was a lie that weaponized race and gender to mask a long record of cruelty and contempt. It was a performance designed to seduce the uninformed and comfort those willing to […]

You Deserve to Win

October 18, 2025

Kweku’s Korner By Dr. Kweku Akyirefi Amoasi One of my favorite Old Testament stories includes the great Commander Naaman. Naaman was a great man, but he suffered from Leprosy. So, regardless of his earthly gains, his physical health prevented him from enjoying life to the fullest. There was a little servant girl in his house […]
