In 2016, as the chyrons rolled on the big-screen TVs and the CNN pundits pundited, the mood in the bar turned dark and somber. Two tables down from us, I heard a woman crying. My Brown friend leaned into me, like he was already afraid of being overheard:
“Jim, is your passport valid? You better get things in order. With my last name and history, they’re coming for me first. But you aren’t gonna be safe either. You mark my words.”

How Alabama's Republicans are disenfranchising Black voters – video
By Oliver Laughland, Tom Silverstone, Katie Lamborn, Jem Talbot, Ivan KuraevA battle for Alabama’s second congressional district is being fought against a backdrop of partisan gerrymandering and America’s ongoing civil rights struggle. Oliver Laughland and Tom Silverstone track down the Maga Republican Rhett Marques who is looking to unseat Democratic incumbent Shomari Figures but won’t answer questions about redistricting. Meanwhile, lower-income residents in rural parts of the district are still fighting for basic sanitation rights after Donald Trump ended federal assistance, which the administration described as 'illegal DEI'.

Is Trump going to steal the midterms? - Stateside with Kai and Carter
By Hosted by Carter Sherman and Kai Wright with Sam Levine and George Chidi . Produced by Monica Espitia, engineered by Ivan Kuraev, executive producer Rachel HumphreysThis week, the Department of Justice charged 28 green card holders in California over alleged voter fraud. It’s the latest move by the Trump administration to crack down on noncitizen voters, and part of a wider push to throw the results of the midterms into doubt. In today's episode, Carter Sherman and Kai Wright are joined by George Chidi and Sam Levine, two reporters who have spent years covering Donald Trump’s attacks on voting rights. They analyze the tactics being used to purge voter rolls, and look ahead to how Trump might react if the results on election day don’t go his way.
