Senior Spotlight: Yayren from Pahokee Middle-Senior High School
Through our 'Senior Spotlight' video series, we are highlighting the unique talents and achievements that make the class of 2026 so special. At Pahokee Middle-Senior High School, Yayren is being recognized for her success and achievements in many activities on campus. She is part of the IB program, robotics club, SECME, and Spanish National Honor Society, just to name a few! She is also a member of the soccer team. Yayren will be attending the University of South Florida next year and plans to study nursing. She is grateful to her teachers at Pahokee for their help and support. Congrats, Yayren!🤖⚽
Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach.
The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.

Black History Month is a time to recognize the lived, shared experience of all Black folks who have fundamentally shaped, challenged, and ultimately strengthened America. It’s about taking an unvarnished look at the past so that we can create a better future. As we mark 100 years of celebrating Black history, let’s honor the sacrifices of the leaders who came before us, and recommit ourselves to continuing their work.

Jasmine Crockett: “A woman was killed. She was shot in her head and yall are pretending like nothing happened. Is it okay because you have a badge? Can yall not just have a little bit of courage and humanity? A child has lost her mom and yall want to pretend that it is okay. You tell us things like well the immigrants are bad. The Mayor of Minneapolis told yall to get the fuck out. It is this administration that is bringing crime to their streets.“
