It’s not enough for Trump to remove a racist video. Trump needs to be removed from the White House.

Trump has never apologized for taking out the ad, just as he has refused to say he’s sorry for posting the meme about the Obamas. Instead, facing the fury of both Republicans and Democrats, he blamed it on a “staffer” and took it down.

Trump’s ad helped convict the innocent men, who, having lost much of their youth in prison before a serial rapist confessed to the attack, now call themselves the “Exonerated Five.”

“I want to hate these muggers and murderers.They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes.”

In 1989, Trump appeared in the Times again, spending $85,000 to run a full-page ad in which he demanded the death penalty for the “Central Park Five,” five black and brown young men falsely accused of attacking a Manhattan jogger.

Trump’s career in white supremacy, however, was just getting going.

A judge dismissed the Trumps’ countersuit. (The tradition of judges tossing baseless Trump lawsuits continues to this day.) Trump makes the front page of the New York Times in 1973.

Countersuing, the Trumps unleashed their lawyer, Roy Cohn, the disgraced (and, eventually, disbarred) former aide to Senator Joseph McCarthy. Cohn advanced the Trumps’ claim that they were discriminating not against Blacks but against undesirable “welfare recipients.”

In 1973, the U.S. Department of Justice sued Trump Management for discriminating against prospective Black tenants, naming both Trumps as codefendants. “Major Landlord Accused of Antiblack Bias in City,” read the headline heralding Trump’s first appearance on page one of the New York Times.

His career as his father’s junior partner got off to an inauspicious but telling start.

In 1971, Trump joined the real estate company founded by daddy Fred, and, in a move that every nepo baby would applaud, assumed the entry-level position of president.

We can still protect these waters. Public input is critical to safeguard sensitive habitats, fisheries, recreation, cultural sites, and coastal communities. The deadline to submit comments is February 26, 2026. Act now to keep our oceans, coastline, and communities safe.

Despite over 270,000 public comments opposing drilling earlier this year, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) has opened a new 30-day comment period, letting oil and gas companies nominate sites along our coast.

Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay’s waters, home to thriving kelp forests, hundreds of marine species, and some of California’s most productive ocean ecosystems, are at risk.

That is why we must all continue to work at the federal and local levels to fight back.

In addition to federal legislation, it is our moral obligation to protect communities from ICE and CBP’s violation of our civil liberties, especially when it comes to our 1st, 2nd, and 4th Amendment rights under the U.S. Constitution.

They are sent into communities far from the Southern Border with masks and without body cameras. This is leading to inevitable and unnecessary violent and deadly confrontations, including the deaths of Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.

They are terrorizing vulnerable communities and harassing and harming American citizens. Many ICE and CBP agents, who appear to be recently recruited, rushed through a 47-day academy, poorly trained, and unprofessional.

Under the direction of Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and its Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents have been injected into cities across our country.
