For years, former Black Panthers have feared that the FBI is still keeping tabs on them decades after its notorious COINTELPRO program.
Malik Rahim had never been able to prove he was targeted. Now, government docs show he was correct.

The fact that we are four years into the pandemic and it never even came up in this campaign like…COVID really truly broke some brains and our collective unwillingness to acknowledge it by trying to force pre-COVID normalcy is just splintering us further.

Pregnant Kentucky woman cited for street camping while in labor
She told a police officer she was in labor. The Louisville Metro Police Department lieutenant cited her for unlawful camping as the ambulance arrived. She had a baby later that day.
