Racism comes from the parents.
The apple doesnt fall far from the tree...
Meet Alaina Kunes, the University of Mississippi student at the center of intense public backlash after a viral Ring doorbell video captured her and a fellow classmate making racist gestures and monkey sounds outside a Black student's apartment. The video has triggered a formal university investigation and ignited a massive corporate firestorm for Kunes Auto Group, a prominent Midwest dealership network with over 40 locations.
Public records, archived social media posts, and internal whistleblowers make a strong case that Alaina Kunes is the daughter of the company's Chief Operating Officer and MAGAt Scott Kunes, and the granddaughter of its founder, Gregg Kunes. In an attempt to mitigate the fallout, Kunes Auto Group issued a statement asserting that she has no employment, ownership, or professional affiliation with the company. However, corporate representatives notably refused to deny her direct family ties to top executive leadership when pressed by local news outlets.
This high-profile family scandal has significantly amplified scrutiny over Kunes Auto Group's corporate culture, which is already embroiled in active federal litigation. The dealership network is currently facing a federal discrimination lawsuit filed in August 2026 after a Black customer found a racial slur printed on her oil change reminder sticker at a Wisconsin location. Another incident in March 2026 involved a salesman sending a racist text message and an ape meme to a repeat customer.
Civil rights attorneys representing the victims of these past incidents argue that Alaina Kunes' behavior reflects a top-down, systemic culture of racism permeating the founding family and executive suite. As the university's investigation into the viral footage continues, the direct connection to the ownership family has re-energized public calls for boycotts across the automotive group's Midwest footprint.

Gary Chambers of Louisiana deserves accolades for the years of advocacy and organizing in the Black community to galvanize political power and turnout the vote. He has pointed out there should be a new Southern strategy with a call to action for the National Democratic Party. With 30-40% Black population in the Southern States these midterm elections was a demonstration of the work paying off. This is a legacy of the Civil Rights Movement. While Stacey Abrams deserves praise for the organizing that brought on this Blue wave in Georgia, @GaryChambersJr has been doing the same in Louisiana. With no resources from the National party, we were 2 points from winning the Senate seat, 2 seats in a runoff on December 12, and the attention of the nation, in spite of the Voting Rights Act being destroyed in Louisiana v. Callais. When evil people plot, good people plan. Gary Chambers reminds us to exercise our right of self determination. Vote 12/12
Another version of voter suppression. Happened in Louisiana, too.
Voter inactivations surged ahead of Tuesday’s midterm elections, the first since the MS Secretary of State’s Office authorized unverified data from the credit bureau Experian for counties to use statewide when cleaning their voter rolls.

Medgar Evers was killed in his driveway because he refused to accept a Mississippi where some were denied the right to vote.
He stood with thousands who marched, organized and sacrificed so future generations could have a voice. We owe it to them not to take that right for granted. On Tuesday, honor their legacy. Vote.

The NY Times is officially in its "but her emails" phase of election coverage. Soon this will be over and it can return to its puzzles and games.

How cynical.
If Haley Stevens had gotten just a few more votes in the primary, @MikeRogers would be running her through his wood chipper right now for coddling immigrants, and criminals and all the golden oldies Republican candidates are counting on in this election to distract from an unpopular president, rising costs and a senseless war that has sent prices soaring.
But, man, Mike just loves and honors Haley today!
My recommendation to Haley? Don't inhale.
Representative Haley Stevens is a courageous leader who deserves the respect of every Michigan voter. She has conducted herself with nothing but class since the Democratic primary, a primary where a majority of voters did not vote for her party’s nominee.
She was absolutely right to call on Abdul El-Sayed to denounce the Rebellion PAC ad and she was right to call on him to apologize for espousing the same hateful ideology behind it.
Representative Stevens’ statement expressed a hope that Abdul El-Sayed “had heard the deep concerns of the Jewish Community.” It is as shameful as it is disappointing that his response to her clearly shows that he does not care about those concerns.
In her statement, the Congresswoman says, “ the Jewish and African-American communities of my district deserve to have someone show up for them, rather than fight over them.”
I agree with her and my campaign is about being there, showing up and defending these communities and all Michiganders.

At $500k a pop, Obama would have to give a speech every night for the next twelve years to match the $2.2 billion in openly corrupt income Trump pulled in in 2025 alone.

Let us continue to pray together for peace. The day after tomorrow, on 27 October, let us join in spirit with the heads of churches and religious leaders who will gather in Assisi to mark the 40th anniversary of the meeting convened by Saint John Paul II. Never before has it been so clear that wars, as well as sowing death and destruction, impoverish and harm the world. May the Lord inspire choices of dialogue and peace! #PrayTogether

There is a very disturbing trend being seen in early voting. Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Ohio are reporting difficulties getting the machines to accept democratic votes. The machines change them back to Republican unless the voter persists, pressing several times to get the correct vote to go through.
Check your machine, check to see that it accepted the correct vote. Make sure your voice counts.

Tommy Teepell (pictured below) a former operations director for Republican Sen. Josh Hawley, was hired to heckle Abdul El-Sayed at a town hall.
Former Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal was also accused of paying college students $200 to heckle El-Sayed.
This isn’t grassroots opposition. It’s manufactured outrage.
Democracy deserves honest debate, not paid political disruption.
Your vote is your voice. Use it.
