More than 25,000 Latinos have already died. More than 3 million are unemployed. Four in 10 Latino families with kids are going hungry, and 44 percent of Latino renters are unsure if they’ll be able to pay their bills.

Polling over the last seven months shows Latinos’ interest in the election fluctuating with the pandemic, and though a majority now say they plan to vote, historically more than half have sat out presidential elections.

Latinos are “literally under attack,”

Black women have the highest rates of homicide in the country, says Kimberlé Crenshaw, a professor of law at UCLA and Columbia Law School and the executive director of the African American Policy Forum.

In 2015, the 37-year-old was tasered to death in jail while she was experiencing a mental health crisis, Crenshaw says. The scene was captured on video and distributed, yet little national attention was focused on her horrific death, she says.

“We don't tell the stories about the disrespect that Black women experienced. So not too surprisingly, when the police treat Black women in ways that are continuous with that legacy, we don't have the stories,”

the police unit known as SARS, which has been linked to torture, unlawful imprisonment, extortion and murder.

By 1992, when SARS was founded, the precedent of controlling Nigerian people through excessive force had long been the norm:

Jide Babalola, a journalist who currently works as a legislative aide for the office of the Deputy Senate President, says there’s a reason why every promise of reform has ended in disappointment: officials have lacked the funding and organizational structure to see the changes through, and rampant corruption often leaves local precincts and individual officers severely underfunded and underpaid. “Only a tiny fraction of what is budgeted for the Nigerian police force ever gets to them,” he says. “How are they going to do anything serious?” Until that underlying situation changes, Babalola says, there’s little hope of stopping the SARS problem.

We’ve never backed a presidential candidate in our 175-year history—until now

Donald Trump has badly damaged the U.S. and its people—because he rejects evidence and science.

But Trump and his vice president flouted local mask rules, making it a point not to wear masks themselves in public appearances.

in Maryland, a district court vacated and enjoined a Trump administration rule that would have required separate insurance payments for abortion care and all other health care for people insured by certain plans under the Affordable Care Act.3

On August 7, the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals cited Roberts’ concurrence as justification to lift an injunction on multiple abortion restrictions in Arkansas.8 The laws ban the most common procedure for second-trimester abortions, require clinics to report to law enforcement the names of minors who have abortions, and treat fetal tissue as criminal evidence.

Restrictive abortion laws are nothing new. For decades, states have been passing laws designed to limit access to abortion care in an effort to make the right to abortion virtually meaningless.14 Since 2011 alone, state legislatures have passed more than 400 restrictive laws.15

In August, she became the first Black and South Asian woman, as well as the first graduate of a historically Black college or university, to be chosen as a major party candidate's running mate.

"Mr. Vice President, I'm speaking," Harris said. The moderator, Susan Page of USA Today, granted the senator an additional 15 seconds to talk.

"President Trump has — from Day 1 — pushed for repealing or overturning the ACA, and Joe Biden is pushing to build and expand on it,"

Biden would allow people to enroll in Medicare at age 60 and would also try to create a new federal health program similar to Medicare, which he calls a public option.

Biden has remarked often that he would "listen to science" in handling the pandemic, drawing a contrast with Trump, who has repeatedly contradicted his top health officials.

Every alternative to the Affordable Care Act that Republicans have offered relies on the same strategy—retrenching the many ACA provisions that require greater risk- and cost-sharing between healthy and sick Americans—to lower the cost of insurance for healthier consumers.

Before Barack Obama signed the ACA into law in 2010, people who were older or had greater health needs often found it impossible or unaffordable to buy coverage in the individual insurance market.

More recently, many Senate Republicans have rallied behind 2019 legislation from Senator Thom Tillis, who is facing a tough reelection fight in North Carolina

Most recently, Trump has called the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus the “Chinese virus” and “kung flu” —

From stereotyping a Black reporter to pandering to white supremacists after they held a violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, to making a joke about the Trail of Tears, Trump hasn’t stopped with racist acts after his 2016 election.

In a controversial case that’s been characterized as a modern-day lynching, four Black teenagers and one Latino teenager — the “Central Park Five” — were accused of attacking and raping a jogger in New York City. Trump immediately took charge in the case, running an ad in local papers demanding, “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” The teens’ convictions were later vacated after they spent seven to 13 years in prison, and the city paid $41 million in a settlement to the teens. But Trump in October 2016 said he still believes they’re guilty, despite the DNA evidence to the contrary.

If she is confirmed, she would move the court slightly but firmly to the right, making compromise less likely and putting at risk the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.

One area in which almost no one expects surprises is abortion. Mr. Trump has vowed to appoint justices ready to overrule Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that established a constitutional right to abortion.

“None of the court’s abortion decisions holds that states are powerless to prevent abortions designed to choose the sex, race and other attributes of children,” the dissent said. It added that the fetal remains law was entirely rational.

A small group of protesters gathered outside the 18th Police Precinct in West Philadelphia Wednesday night.

Police say looting along Aramingo Avenue in Philadelphia’s Port Richmond neighborhood Tuesday night was a “total loss.”

Two Philadelphia police officers shot and killed a 27-year-old Black man holding a knife on Monday afternoon as his mother watched nearby. Protests in the city have raged in the nights since.

Simpson said a person who he later learned was Wallace's mother told police that Wallace had mental health issues.

Wallace suffered from bipolar disorder and was in crisis during the time of the shooting, his family said.

“It will go away and as I say, we’re rounding the turn, we’re rounding the corner. It’s going away,” Trump said.

Trump has long said he would unveil a plan to replace Obamacare that would continue to protect those with pre-existing conditions. However, he has yet to do so.

“We can’t close our nation,” Trump said. “We can’t lock ourselves up in a basement like Joe does.”

Younger, healthier people are getting infected

"While Covid-19 remains a terrible disease, our efforts to improve treatment are probably working," said the NYU study's lead author Dr. Leora Horwitz,

This is partly down to different approaches to counting their Covid-19 cases.

Donald Trump - who as sitting president gets to select nominees - reportedly once said he was "saving her" for this moment: when elderly Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died and a vacancy on the nine-member court arose.

Mr Trump has succeeded in tipping the court make-up even further to the right, just ahead of the presidential election, when he could lose power.

However, her links to a particularly conservative Christian faith group, People of Praise, have been much discussed in the US press. LGBT groups have flagged the group's network of schools, which have guidelines stating a belief that sexual relations should only happen between heterosexual married couples.
