On May 4, former Black Panther and long-time Rep. Bobby Rush
As the former co-founder of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panthers, Rush has personally been on the receiving end of unwanted and unwelcome FBI attention during the Vietnam era, when COINTELPRO was at its height. Rush has long believed that the Bureau played a role in the killing of his friend and chairman of the Illinois Black Panthers, Fred Hampton. Rush is to be commended for trying to discover what else the Bureau might know about, or have been involved with, concerning Hampton’s killing. But his bill represents a major missed opportunity on several counts.

At least four people have died and over two dozen more hospitalized after a 40-foot vessel carrying approximately 30 migrants capsized off the coast of San Diego May 2. The boat broke apart after hitting rocks near Point Loma, which is a peninsula dividing San Diego Bay and the Pacific Ocean.
A “search and rescue” operation followed, with several survivors being arrested by U.S. immigration forces. The search for additional passengers continued into the night.
This comes days after hundreds of migrants were relocated from the U.S.-Mexico border to temporary facilities in Long Beach and Pomona, California. Thousands of people have been making their way to the United States as a result of the economic crisis that has been exacerbated by austerity measures and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
