Rep. Barbara Lee On What She Admires About AOC & ‘The Squad’ & Other Progressives In Power
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission filed a lawsuit against the massive chain in Baltimore. The company is based in Altoona, Pennsylvania, but operates 600 locations across six different states, including Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland, Ohio, and North Carolina.
The interesting part about the case is that the EEOC is alleging Sheetz discriminated against minority applicants. According to the government, Sheetz used a practice of screening all job applicants for criminal convictions. “The EEOC charges that Sheetz’s hiring practices disproportionately screened out Black, Native American/Alaska Native and multiracial applicants,” they wrote.
The EEOC isn’t accusing the company of being motivated by race in their hiring practices. However, they argue that the application of this hiring standard violates the disparate impact discrimination provision of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
According to the Associated Press, the EEOC found that Black job applicants were screened out at a rate of 14.5%. While white applicants were screened out at a rate of 8%.
“Federal law mandates that employment practices causing a disparate impact because of race or other protected classifications must be shown by the employer to be necessary to ensure the safe and efficient performance of the particular jobs at issue,” explained EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence, in a statement. “Even when such necessity is proven, the practice remains unlawful if there is an alternative practice available that is comparably effective in achieving the employer’s goals but causes less discriminatory effect.”
According to the Associated Press, the commission alerted Sheetz in 2022 that they were violating civil rights law, but were unable to reach a settlement.
For their part, Sheetz told the Associated Press that they do “not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”
“Diversity and inclusion are essential parts of who we are. We take these allegations seriously. We have attempted to work with the EEOC for nearly eight years to find common ground and resolve this dispute,” company spokesperson Nick Ruffner said in a statement to the outlet.
After a little over a year of marriage, Las Vegas Aces basketball star Kelsey Plum and NFL tight end Darren Waller have decided to part ways. According to online records, a joint petition for a “summary decree of divorce” was filed in Clark County District Court on Tuesday, indicating mutual agreement on the separation terms.
Plum took to social media to confirm the split, expressing her devastation and hinting at a challenging journey. “I’m devastated. I walked through fire for that man, but now I see it’s time to go,” Plum wrote in her statement. However, she did not disclose the reasons behind the divorce, stating, “One day I’ll share my story, today is not that day.”
The couple tied the knot in March of the previous year and have no children together, as per court records. Waller, known for his time with the Las Vegas Raiders, where he earned a Pro Bowl nod in 2020, was traded to the New York Giants just days after their wedding. Despite the relocation, his charitable foundation has continued its involvement in the Las Vegas community.
Kelsey Plum, the first overall pick in the 2017 WNBA Draft, has been a pivotal player for the Aces since the franchise relocated to Las Vegas. A two-time WNBA All-Star, she has contributed to the team’s success, winning two titles with the Aces and securing a gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics as part of the U.S. 3×3 women’s basketball team.
While the reasons for their split remain undisclosed, both athletes are expected to continue pursuing their respective careers with the same dedication and passion they’ve shown on the court and field.
Black celebrities are increasingly weighing in on the 2024 presidential race, and most of it is causing a stir in political circles.
From urban radio personality Charlamagne Tha God to sports journalist Stephen A. Smith, wealthy and powerful Black influencers have been invited on several news programs to share their thoughts on the Nov. 5 election and what it means for Black voters.
On his YouTube show on Friday, Smith defended remarks he made during a Thursday Fox News interview, where he told host Sean Hannity that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump “was telling the truth” when he said Black people “find him relatable” because of his criminal trial underway in New York City.
Though he claimed his comments were taken “out of context,” Smith was met with ridicule online, including from the NAACP, which called his remarks “Blasphemous” on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Political strategist Reecie Colbert also called out Smith on her Sirius XM show, “The Reecie Colbert Show” on Saturday. Colbert told theGrio of Smith’s remarks, “To compare accountability that Trump is facing with the history of persecution and injustices that Black people have been subjected to is extraordinarily ignorant.”
She added, “It’s actually offensive and it dangerously propagates stereotypes that Black people have some sort of criminality that we have an affinity toward.”
Charlamagne, who boasts millions of radio listeners and his very own podcast network with iHeartRadio, has also caused outrage for remarks he’s made about President Biden, whom he endorsed in the 2020 election.
“I think President [Joe] Biden, historically, has been a – lack of a better word – a sh***y elected official,” the outspoken media personality told CNN in January. Though he has also referred to Trump as “the end of democracy as we know it,” Charlamagne received plenty of public criticism from political scientists and strategists who feel he, and others like Smith, aren’t qualified to authoritatively speak on politics and policy.

“This is about folks who are speaking with authority on something that they don’t really have the credentials … that’s what’s frustrating,” said Joel Payne, a Democratic strategist who worked on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. “It feels low stakes for someone like Stephen A. Smith or a Charlamagne to just go and offer a very naive political opinion that misses so much.”
As some Black celebrities are taking to the airwaves to wax poetic on the 2024 election and the records of Trump and Biden, Colbert said she doesn’t subscribe to the thinking that “all celebrities should shut up,” but clarified, “If you don’t have your facts right, then you should probably exercise some restraint in what you choose to speak on.”
Colbert said non-political experts are “intentionally being platformed because they will parrot perceptions that may or may not be accurate.” She added that celebrities are “just as susceptible to disinformation [and] to right-wing talking points as the average everyday person.”
In fact, she argued, wealthy and famous celebrities stand to gain from the “disinformation network” that has “infiltrated Black spaces.”
Colbert continued, “There’s a huge profit motive in trafficking in these right-wing talking points, and right-wing narratives and perpetuating it. You’re still getting paid. You’re still getting the clicks. You’re still getting reposted.”
After days of online scorn for his comments on Trump and Black people’s supposed affinity toward the former president, Smith took to his show yet again on Monday to apologize for his remarks on Fox News. He said his statements were “misconstrued” but would “own it anyway.” However, Smith referred to several polls about Trump’s increasing support from Black voters, though he failed to mention that Black voters still overwhelmingly prefer Biden.
Payne told theGrio that the threat of a Trump presidency is more “real” for what he described as “rank-and-file Black voters,” or everyday voters who aren’t rich and famous.
“Generally speaking, if you’re a very well-heeled African-American voter [or] person, you’re not worried about Donald Trump sending the cops after you or … doing things that would undercut your rights because your money, your status, your fame is … your distinguishing characteristic,” he explained. “I’m not saying that you don’t feel like you don’t identify with your Blackness but I am saying that you kind of feel like the Trump thing is not as existential to you.”
Payne said celebs who are “unreliable narrators in the public space” present a challenge for Biden and Democrats because they have “outsized influence.” Therefore, their voices will more quickly “reach a lot more people” than an “influencer in Milwaukee talking about small businesses.” He added, “That’s just the math that we’re dealing with.”
Singer John Legend also recently weighed in on the election, telling MSNBC on Sunday that Trump is a racist “to his core.”
“When we protested the killing of George Floyd, he was advocating for the military to shoot us in the streets,” Legend said. “He has made it clear throughout his life that he believes Black people are inferior. Like, he believes that … in his bones.”

Cameron Trimble, who served as director of digital engagement for the Biden-Harris White House and worked on the 2020 campaign, told theGrio, like it or not, “celebrities and media personalities are now similar to traditional news and broadcast.”
“Everything any of them says has a potential to be amplified by traditional news media and across social media, and it can help create narratives true or false,” said Trimble, who is currently CEO of Hip-Politics, a platform geared toward mobilizing the political power of hip-hop culture.
Trimble warned that Black and young audiences are “tuning out” traditional advertising and messaging, adding, “They’re taking these nuanced conversations and determining the facts from there, coupled with the headlines they keep seeing.”
He urged the White House, the Biden-Harris reelection campaign, and Democrats more broadly to “directly engage” with influential voices, including those like Smith or Charlamagne who may be seen as “antagonists.”
He said, “It does not need to be necessarily the president or the vice president, but it could also be top-ranking officials to be able to publicly dispute some of the assertions [they] make.”
Trimble noted that Donald Trump Jr., the son of former president Trump, recently did a sit-down interview with internet personality and podcaster DJ Akademiks, who he described as not “super into politics.”
“But Republicans engaged him,” he said. “If those types of things go unchecked … people are getting one side of information without the other.”
The former Biden operative said he would like to see the Biden-Harris camp think outside the box and engage entertainment figures who are seemingly open to having political discourse. One of those entertainers is the rapper Plies.
“He’s been one of the most vocal supporters of administrative policies on his extremely far-reaching social media handles that have continued to cause conversation online,” said Trimble. “Being able to engage him privately and publicly could showcase to so many more people who don’t feel seen through the John Legends and the people with shirts and ties or people who went to HBCUs.”
Morehouse College made the official announcement today that President Joe Biden will deliver the 2024 commencement speech on May 19th.
In an email sent to Watch The Yard from the White House, the President of Morehouse College, David Thomas, was quoted stating the following:
“I am honored to announce that the 46th President of the United States of America, Joseph R. Biden, will be the commencement speaker for our 140th Commencement ceremony. The invitation to President Biden was extended last September, and we are deeply honored that he has accepted, which marks the third time the White House has formally visited Morehouse within the last two years – a testament to the significance of our institution and our collective commitment to excellence and progress.
We eagerly anticipate welcoming President Biden back to The House next month. His presence serves as a reminder of our institution’s enduring legacy and impact, as well as our continued commitment to excellence, progress, and positive change.“
Georgia Senator Raphael Warnock, a graduate of Morehouse also opened up about the speech.
“Morehouse is a proud Georgia institution, an incubator for success for young Black men, and a model for colleges nationwide,” he stated. “As a proud alum, I could not be more thrilled and honored to see President Biden return to our great state to deliver this year’s commencement address. Since entering the U.S. Senate, I have worked with President Biden to address the high costs of higher education by providing meaningful student debt relief, and so far, his Administration has canceled debt for over 4 million Americans–helping close the racial wealth gap and giving borrowers drowning in debt a pathway toward prosperity. I know the President will have a timely, poignant, forward-looking message for the Men of Morehouse.
“As students at Morehouse College, we are often at the forefront of social and political matters because of the institution’s history. We have an extensive history of hosting public figures of national and international rank on our campus,” Perrin said. “We are a community of scholars who are familiar with and understand the complexities associated with engaging many of our socio-political guests. President Biden’s visit is yet another opportunity for our community to engage in his presentation and remain open to his reflections while maintaining a critical investigation of goodwill.”
Henry Goodgame, vice president of external relations & alumni engagement at Morehouse and a class of 1984 graduate had the following to say:
“I am profoundly thrilled and honored to have my alma mater, Morehouse College, selected from a multitude of institutions to have the 46th President of the United States of America serve as our Commencement Speaker this year. At a time when our nation urgently needs a message of hope and inspiration from our ethical leaders, we have invited the leader of the free world as our speaker to take on the issues and speak to our community. He joins the list of outstanding leaders like the 44th President, Barack Obama, and renowned business mogul Robert Smith to talk about the issues that matter to the next generation of Morehouse Men. Our students and alumni are honored to welcome him to the ranks of a Morehouse man who will take on the issues of the day even when a position may not be popular but is rooted in truth, as Martin Luther King Jr. had to do.”

Rep. Barbara Lee On What She Admires About AOC & ‘The Squad’ & Other Progressives In Power
The couple alluded to doing as much in the latest episode of their “Amy & T.J.” podcast that aired on Sunday. While they haven’t come to a 100 percent decision and didn’t give definitive date, the two of them assured listeners that they’ve “absolutely agreed to commit to one another”—in whatever form that eventually takes for them.
“We’re still deciding about what that level of commitment is—whether it’s legal or not—but mentally, emotionally, we’ve absolutely agreed to commit to one another,” Robach said. “We haven’t figured [out] the marriage thing out yet.”
Holmes added, “We haven’t decided whether or not we are going to officially get married.”
Their hesitancy to go down that road at this point could be due to a myriad of reasons—chief among them being the fact that they’re both still somewhat fresh out of their respective marriages. Holmes and his ex-wife Marilee Fiebig finalized their divorce in Oct. 2023 while Robach and her ex Andrew Shue cut ties earlier that same year in March. (In what was arguably one the messiest plot twists of 2023, it was later revealed that Fiebig and Shue were an item as well amid all the drama.)
Yet and still, with all the scrutiny they faced since the news of their entanglement went public—one can imagine why they’re taking their time making that decision. Per the podcast, the Holmes and Robach aren’t even living together despite the couple saying that they’re “never apart.” Maybe that’ll change as they get closer to deciding whether or not they’ll walk down the aisle.
What we do know is that neither of them are fully convinced that marriage in and of itself is the next right move for them. Describing it as a “false security blanket,” Robach later said: “I’m just admitting it, and I’m not saying it makes any sense. There’s something about where I feel if I can say ‘that’s my husband and I’m his wife,’ it feels more official and it feels more real even though that’s necessarily not the case because we lived enough life to know that’s not.”
Whatever they decided, I hope they do it rather quickly so we can all exit out this group chat that is their lives and relationship for good. This saga has run its course.
In an effort to highlight the people who are leading colleges and universities across the nation, we at Watch The Yard reached out to the University of Maryland Eastern Shore and did an interview with Cairo Harris the 2023-2024 Student Government Association president.
The position of SGA president is a highly respected role and there is a special pride that one takes in being elected by their peers to lead. Harris, who is majoring in Criminal Justice, is from Baltimore, Maryland.
We interviewed Cairo Harris, and talked to her about her position, goals, future and what it means to hold this type of leadership position in 2023-2024.
Read the full interview below.
What is the biggest thing you’ve learned as an SGA president so far?
As SGA President the most important thing I have learned is purpose and passion. By no means has this been easy. Advocating for not only my peers and friends but for myself has been fulfilling, but the driving force was learning how important the purpose of why I was elected to be that advocate for my campus community. Being President is a selfless responsibility and called for me to utilize my passion for change to shed a light on what our university family needed and wanted. This called for me to learn that I would been in spaces where I would need to speak up about the things maybe someone else would be unable to speak about. This allowed for me to hear the many stories of Hawks from around the world and how the University of Maryland Eastern Shore was a place that gave many people an opportunity to experience something beyond what society already decided was their outcome.
What made you decide to attend the University of Maryland Eastern Shore for undergrad?
I chose to attend the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, home of the Hawks, because of its breathtaking nature which is unfamiliar to me as a Baltimore native. In my experience I do consider myself well traveled, being that my family is from Kingston Jamaica and Nassau Bahamas but the beauty of the Eastern Shore was a feeling I could not say no to for my 4 years. Just down the road in Talbot county and Cambridge Maryland prolific leaders like Harriet Tubman and Fredrick Douglas trailblazers of our world proved to me that the Eastern Shore was a place for leaders, a place for change, and a place to be unapologetically proud to be Black. UMES was a no brainer!
How has the University of Maryland Eastern Shore molded you into the person you are today?
“No Justice, No peace!” was a chant I shouted at the small meak age of 5. I marched along protesters at the Jena 6 protest in Washington DC in the early 2000’s. As a 5 year old kindergartener, I already knew I had a passion for leadership. I insisted that my mother take me to visit Obama when he came to speak in Baltimore when I was 5 as well. As a 14 year old I initiated a complaint on my own and won a settlement against a company that mistreated Black youth. It was always in me, but as time has glided by I found myself here in a space where my leadership was able to be motivated, guided, and it was able to grow. UMES molded my confidence in my voice. UMES allowed for me to be me, creative and different, while also giving me the tools to be that and impact more than I could imagine. I started off a as freshman Caribbean American girl from Baltimore, and I am exiting this spring a degreed leader. All thanks to the hope that UMES has given me and everyone else who walks through these doors.
What specific initiatives have you headed up this year (or are planning) and how do you think they will improve the school and surrounding community?
One the main goals for SGA this school year was to reengage students with campus resources on and off campus. This includes providing and setting students up with financial aid plans and internship opportunities. One initiative we planned is to host a resource fair that allowed for coordination with campus departments like Counseling Services and Title IX and more. We also plan to collaborate with Financial Aid on campus to initiate a month to educate students about financial aid, scholarships and how to complete the FASFA. Within our administration, the Dreamstille Administration, new places on campus like Tropical Smoothie and Milk and Honey Restaurant opened on our campus. Another important movement we hoped to accomplish was to get the pool opened. The pool had been closed for over 4 years. Our pool will now be open this spring.
How is your SGA administration/school currently working on attending to the mental health of students?
The Dreamstille Administration SGA has made efforts to educate students about mental health by inviting Counseling Services to come to our town-hall especially in the wake of events that took place at Maryland HBCUs this past homecoming. We also recognized not every student on our campus enjoys parties or extroverted activities. With that we have hosted events like paint nights, open mics, and pop up shops to allow our students a place to express themselves in every capacity. We also plan to have a dedicated Mental Health Day which will give students a moment to interact with each other, support each other, and learn about many ways to decompress. We hope to have dogs and kittens there to pet and educate on how animals aid in mental health. We also will have a sound bath room dedicated to education through the healing power of music and sound frequencies.
What does leadership mean to you?
Leadership to me is about being selfless and outspoken. To me you need to understand the students and what they want but also knowing the small things that need to be tweaked and speaking up for it with a strong voice.
We now live in a digital world, what do you think schools need to do to represent themselves online in 2023/2024?
To represent online, schools need to offer students an opportunity to lead in online spaces. Currently our administration in collaboration with Admissions joined efforts by reigniting the UMES Street Team. The UMES Street Team is an organization that is dedicated to showcasing student life from the lens of students via social media. This team effort from our school highlights what the UMES experience looks like. @umesstreet
Why do you think Watch The Yard is important to Black students and college culture?
Watch The Yard is very important for Black students in college because it is a space that specifically highlights student life and all the achievements of the Black community. Without spaces like this especially living in a digital age, we wouldn’t have many spaces as Black college students to showcase our excellence.
What do you plan on doing after graduation?
After graduation, I plan to attend graduate school to study international relations to enhance my skills (especially including my background studying Chinese for nearly 10 years and traveling to three of the seven continents) and helping my community and engaging globally. I expect to graduate with my masters in two years, and then travel the world, helping the youth first in Baltimore and then places like the Caribbean and in Africa.
We at Watch The Yard would like to commend Cairo Harris for her work as the SGA president of the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.

In an effort to highlight the people who are leading colleges and universities across the nation, we at Watch The Yard reached out to Tennessee State University and did an interview with Derrell Taylor the 2023-2024 Student Government Association president.
The position of SGA president is a highly respected role and there is a special pride that one takes in being elected by their peers to lead. Taylor, who is majoring in Business Administration – Management, is from Memphis, TN.
We interviewed Derrell Taylor, and talked to him about his position, goals, future and what it means to hold this type of leadership position in 2023-2024.
Read the full interview below.
What is the biggest thing you’ve learned as an SGA president so far?
I believed the biggest thing I’ve learned so far is to understand the value in of being a man of the people. The relationships I have gained, the opportunities I have had to mentor and build younger students, and the opportunity to represent the student body daily has taught me so much about what it takes to lead and serve a large number of individuals. Being a man of the people means more than throwing exciting events or presenting empowering speeches. It is the day to day interactions with others that truly influence and impact the next person.
What made you decide to attend Tennessee State University for undergrad?
I chose to attend Tennessee State University because it chose me first. As I began to consider different colleges, I found myself attracted to schools that I felt valued community, career development, and culture. It was on my agenda to attend an HBCU, but coming from a predominantly black area (Memphis, TN), I wanted to ensure I would be in an atmosphere that was designed to embrace who I am and who I desired to become as I matriculate through college. Upon high school graduation, I was fortunate enough to receive a full ride scholarship from Tennessee State University. It meant a lot to me to be invested into by TSU; an investment that would allow me to attend college without placing a financial burden on my family. This was one of the best decisions I could have ever made pertaining to my academic advancement.
How has Tennessee State University molded you into the person you are today?
Tennessee State University has molded me into the person I am today by its ability to build me up as a young man, scholar, and servant to the community. Since my arrival to TSU, a countless amount of people have personally invested in me and have demonstrated the impact of attending an HBCU in general. Without Tennessee State, I would not understand the importance of networking and leadership development. From the “HBCU intro and elevator pitch” to understanding how to connect and follow up with your constituents, I have grown so much professionally since my time at TSU. My HBCU has also molded my character by pushing and preparing me to compete globally. It was the career counselors and professors inside the classroom who have pushed me to apply for internships and attend career fairs. This has provided me with so many opportunities, including 2 internships. Finally, the culture at TSU has molded me by allowing me to embrace my potential due to the inclusive and motivating atmosphere.
What specific initiatives have you headed up this year (or are planning) and how do you think they will improve the school and surrounding community?
During my administration, we have been intentional on addressing specific student concerns and areas of growth on our campus. We have been able to establish student committees that function alongside SGA. This allows students without leadership positions to develop direct relationships with student leaders in order to collaborate on the decisions or initiatives developed. The committees are: Student Concern, Civic Engagement, and DE&I. My administration has also developed an appreciation & development project for our marching band, the “Aristocrat of Bands”. This was a great opportunity to highlight the hardworking members of our band by awarding paraphernalia, and developing a 5 year plan to revamp their practice fields. Lastly, my administration has been focused on addressing the $2.1 Billion dollar underfunding of our institution. This has motivated us to take the lead on resolving the nation-wide issue of HBCUs being underinvested in.
How is your SGA administration/school currently working on attending to the mental health of students?
The 83rd SGA Administration has issued a response to the mental health concerns by meeting with University administration to improve the university counseling center with a goal of fostering collaboration between this office and the student body more consistently. We were able to produce a week full of activities catered to understanding how to tend to your mental health. The Mental Health Week, “Tiger Wellness Week”, began with an event that discussed understanding your emotions and properly releasing them. The event featured a presentation from a university counselor and included making custom stress balls and personal journals. This event also included a yoga session. The remaining events throughout included a walk/run, breakfast, movie & relaxation night, and much more! The university is also working on relocating and expanding our counseling center to include more services. We, as students, are proud that TSU is committed to providing mental health resources for our campus.
What does leadership mean to you?
Leadership is defined to me as the impact that is made on others. Management and leadership mean two completely different things to me. Leadership is the ability to trust your team and motivate them to continue raising the standard or expectation of the project. Leadership includes mentoring, lifting up, and being a role model figure to the ones you serve. Finally, being a leader means bracing yourself to ride the highs and lows of your team, taking responsibility for the shortcomings, but giving credit to your team for the victories.
We now live in a digital world, what do you think schools need to do to represent themselves online in 2023/2024?
I believe schools should receive more resources to further receive education on the advancements and development of technology. Institutions should also implement a plan of action for understanding the world of AI and social media.
Why do you think Watch The Yard is important to Black students and college culture?
I think Watch The Yard is important to Black students because it is necessary to be aware of the activities happing across HBCUs. It is essential to keep a network between each institution so that we are growing as a family. This applies to students, organizations, alumni, faculty, etc.
What do you plan on doing after graduation?
I plan on exploring public advocacy. This will provide me the opportunities to continue advocating for HBCU and the issues of our communities.
We at Watch The Yard would like to commend Derrell Taylor for his work as the SGA president of Tennessee State University.

Malibu is known for its pristine beaches and pricey mansions. But one home situated along the picturesque coastline stands out against the rest: controversial rapper Kanye “Ye” West’s $57 million mansion, sitting seemingly abandoned, disheveled, and reportedly unable to sell despite its prime location on the Malibu shore.
Here’s what went down with the rapper formerly known as Kanye West’s Malibu mansion.
