IT’S β€˜THE END OF THE LINE’ But not (yet) the end of The Machine

Excellent article by NJ Democrat on NJ's June 10 primary elections which marks an unprecedented shake-up with no candidates benefiting from the historically rigged party ballot β€œcounty line,” creating a competitive political landscape.

Tulsa announces reparations for the 1921 β€˜Black Wall Street’ massacre It took decades of research by historians and journalists β€” and reports by state and federal commissions β€” to uncover the violence that claimed more than 300 Black lives.

The city of Tulsa, home to one of the most horrifying racial-terror massacres in U.S. history and the people who tried to cover it up, has announced a $105 million reparations package.

Feds look to drop oversight of bank accused of discrimination in Newark β€’ New Jersey Monitor A judge ordered federal oversight after Lakeland Bank was accused of lending discrimination in 2022 in Newark. Feds now want to end oversight.

NJCA is pleased Provident Bank reaffirmed commitment to disburse $12M loan subsidy in 2022 DOJ consent order. But bigger concern is the message the Trump administration is sending to financial institutions.: bad actors in redlining may not be held accountable.

We have to put the public back in public safety. That means addressing root causes like poverty, housing insecurity, lack of healthcare access, and educational inequity. Appreciate the conversation, @VanLathan.
