Cold hard truth: nothing they are doing is new, it's just that now it's not happening exclusively to Black people so it seems "unAmerican" to everyone. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
House music as the empire collapses.
January 25, 2026 at 10:25 PM
Listening to classic house music and other varieties and, as usual, you can easily tell from any era what was made by white/white Euro artists and what is/was made by the Originators. There are still jams made by white folks but generally pales in comparison.

Good afternoon from downtown Chicago, where despite heavy snowfall, thousands have gathered for an anti-ICE/CBP demonstration in solidarity with the Twin Cities. More are still streaming in.

Lt. Illinois Gov. Juliana Stratton just addressed the crowd, and called for ICE to be abolished.

Philadelphia sues over "arbitrary and capricious" removal of displays about slavery" at Independence National Historical Park, with one official saying "History cannot be erased simply because it is uncomfortable." Good. Hope we see lots more lawsuits like this. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...
Philadelphia sues after slavery exhibits were taken down from President's House site
The lawsuit says the National Park Service removed the displays referring to slavery "presumably pursuant to the mandate” of an executive order from President Donald Trump.

Incident #987 in is everyone dumb? & customer service is shot to hell:
I was planning to work w/a tax preparer this year b/c some things that came up last year. Stopped in to inquire re: rates & explain a bit. Person asks me to email him the info I’m referencing in IRS guidelines. Like babe, what?

Since minimizing social media even further, I'm extremely shocked by the extent to which adults who are fairly aware/intelligent/educated are steeped in it & tend to pull talking points from it. I can tell when speaking w/someone even though I'm now completely unaware of what's going on.

& this is the issue. Europe has been kiki-ing & pointing instead of getting ready for the bullshit, thinking they were somehow immune. Now they’re out here looking dumb, & frankly I’m kind of here for it. Now they’re learning, like their white descendants in the Americas, that everybody can get it
This is nuts.

World leaders are trying to do diplomacy. Trump is screenshotting and posting private messages from heads of state like it’s a gossip session.

I decided to bid on a dining table in an auction on Thursday & someone is tripping. I've stashed a few dollars here & there waiting for something I like & (more importantly) can [hopefully] afford. Whoever this person is needs to back off. That is MY table, what are they doing?!? The audacity.

Well, this is pretty much how it’s always been in the U. S. with whitefolks, and still is for a wide swath of ppl. I’ll say again that it’s only really different now b/c Black ppl aren’t the exclusive victims of what is happening. If so, the responses would likely be as they expected.
A big part of the current right wing belief system is that everyone is actually just as bigoted as they are, and are only pretending not to be as a public performance ("virtue signalling").

They genuinely thought once they started doing open racism, everyone would join in
