Get up, stand up, stand up for your rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight
...We're sick and tired of your ism and schism game
Die and go to heaven in Jesus' name...
But you can't fool all the people all the time
So now we see the light
(What you gonna do?)
We gonna stand up for our rights
Get up, stand up, don't give up the fight

Pretty struck by a White House advisor saying “this isn’t white enough for me” and not even getting headlines. The high octane racism in this admin is one more thing that’s gone from being treated as an unproven claim to being treated as old news. Where’s the part where the media covers it head on?
Italians, your white card has been revoked. Stefani Germanotta is a perfidious latin

Republicans are still trying to pass the SAVE Act—a bill that would make it harder to vote and disenfranchise millions of Americans. Join @redistrictingaction.org and tell your member of Congress to vote no: act.redistrictingaction.org/a/natl-saveact-cte

An Olympian mildly criticizes the U.S.? Un-American. Trump calls America "disgusting"? All good!

ICE agents shouldn't wear masks. We need to know who is attacking and committing crimes. Masks undermine accountability, invite abuse, and help place perpetrators above the law.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Vice President JD Vance gets roundly booed at the opening ceremony of the Milano-Cortina 2026 Olympics. "Those are a lot of boos for him, whistling jeering," says the presenter. US athletes receive a warm welcome from fans, though.

“It's actually sweet
All the time you've spent on me
It's honestly wild
All the effort you've put in
It's actually romantic
I really gotta hand it to you, ooh
No man has ever loved me like you do”
Taylor Swift’s song seems to sum up the Donnie/ Barack thing. 😉

Trump's racism should be no surprise.
His company got caught committing racial housing discrimination.
He spread lies about the exonerated Central Park 5.
He entered politics with the racist birther lie.
There's a reason Trump was once endorsed by David Duke and the KKK's newspaper.

📰🇪🇺 Fears grow in Europe that Putin could attack within a year — WP
Previously, Berlin and other capitals believed that Russia could threaten NATO’s eastern flank by 2029. Now, the consensus is growing that it could happen much sooner — before Europe can build up its own military power.

Black farmers are getting shut out by the Trump administration.
John Boyd, president of the National Black Farmers Association, says the WH told him, they are “moving away from DEI and small farm issues, and they were focusing on large-scale white farms… because they produce the most food.”
