Is #Biden merely pretending to be defiant before he ultimately steps aside?

#Senate #Democrats are divided on how to handle the prospect of dealing with Biden on the campaign ticket with concerns about his age still hovering over his #campaign.

Biden should do what's best for America, not his family -- or his frail... ego.

A suspect was charged today in connection with the #homicide of a young Black woman whose body was found in a sleeping bag next to trash in #Manhattan #NewYork.

As the suspect was being transported out of a building flanked by police, emotions boiled over as multiple people could be seen attacking the man as he was wheeled to an ambulance on a gurney.

Police said the investigation is ongoing.

Dozens of masked white supremacists known as Patriot Front marched through #Nashville #Tennessee on Saturday without any #police presence in the area.

They vandalized a bridge leaving their "symbol" and carried upside down American flags.

These acts of #racism and #antisemitism are intended to invoke fear -- and a result of the #GOP embracing #fascism.

BLKNewsNow.com has reached out to Nashville Mayor's Office about why police were not present for our follow-up story.

Biden remains defiant in the face of more calls from #Democrats for him to withdraw from the nomination.

America already waited once for #Biden (remember Hillary?) If the stakes are as high as everyone knows they are, #Biden and his inner circle will pass the torch to #KamalaHarris, who is, unfortunately, the best shot Democrats have of retaining their seats and holding off the #MAGA #GOP in November.

Separation of #church and state has dissolved in #SouthCarolina as men will now decide what women can do to their bodies and when after stripping them of their voices on #abortion in the state #senate.

The #GOP turned on fellow Republicans and ousted the only 3 women serving in the upper chamber. It wasn't simply because of abortion -- they were in solidarity with Black women and that doesn't work for the #racist #GOP.

South Carolina is becoming "The "Handmaid's Tale." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM3L3dHn2S0

Yesterday, America learned how #corrupt our #justice system is.

However, Black America shrugs; the weight of being treated like the underclass is jarring for everyone else because Black Americans have been the poster children of systematic abuse in the United States since inception.

Welcome to the club.

#AOC said our conservative-leaning #SCOTUS is "corrupt."

She is correct.

This is the unraveling of #democracy in America if #Congress does not #impeach justices who value #Trump and his autocratic agenda over the #constitution and citizens of the United States.
