A 17-year-old North Carolina girl who recorded a livestream of a shooting that killed three people at a San Diego mosque and disseminated the attackers’ white-supremacist writings has been charged with murder by aiding and abetting. The charge was announced Monday at a news conference. Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O’Neill said at a news conference that the girl was arrested last week and indicted by a grand jury Monday, just before she was due to begin the school year. Her name was not immediately disclosed.

Americans have only elected 3 Black governors. This year, 8 major party candidates are on the ballot
Florida Republicans have settled on Byron Donalds, a congressman, as their candidate for governor, and that now makes eight Black major party nominees for governors this year. Maryland’s Wes Moore is the only Black governor now and he's seeking reelection in November. The Democrat is just the third elected Black governor in U.S. history. All have been Democrats and men. The November slate includes Democrats and Republicans, men and women. The nominees are promoting their experience and ideas for all constituents. But many say the possibility of expanded representation matters, given the nation’s history and the current environment surrounding issues of race and racism.
Jason Arday, who was once celebrated as Cambridge University’s youngest Black professor, was found dead last week after weeks of news stories presenting evidence that he was a plagiarist and fabulist. His death quickly led to criticism of Cambridge for elevating Arday in a rush to promote diversity, despite red flags about his qualifications, and of the news media for driving him to despair when his credentials and life story began to unravel under intense scrutiny. The public attention was partly fueled by the impending publication of Arday’s memoir, “Great and Unfortunate Things.”
