A lot of people think it’s perfectly normal for white boys and men to go through a racist or nazi phase. They think it’s just part of the coming-of-age process, and that eventually, these boys will learn to hide or change those beliefs enough to participate in polite (not kind) society.

Much like colonizing museums claim about African artifacts held in European and American collections, if the Louvre cannot properly take care of its possessions, perhaps another nation can. I heard the Benin Royal Museum in Nigeria may have a space.

The Project 2025 crew was banking on large numbers of Black people being out in the streets ala Ferguson/George Floyd and that was going to be the pretext to declare martial law. We’re not playing ball and they’re getting impatient so now they’re sending troops to where we are.
Project 2025 did NOT anticipate Black people staying home like we are now.
Black Americans are holding this country together by a thread and
most of white America is so busy flailing and accusing us of being selfish,
y’all don’t even see how our strategy is keeping you safe.

Start your morning with two minutes of the testimony of Samuel Garcia, an average American who drove 3 hours to speak truth to power to the Texas legislature. Let’s decide that we are all Samuel Garcia. Get in their faces and make them listen. Mr. Garcia is a great American.

All those rich people buying up all the land in Hawaii for houses and plantations should be put to the task of stopping this. Might as well put their celebrity to good use since the native people they've displaced won't be listened to.
In May, the FAA gave Elon Musk approval for this plan, along with permission to launch 25 of his Starship rockets per year (massive 40-foot-tall rockets built to one day go to Mars).

Immigration authorities demand landlords turn over tenant information
Some legal experts and property managers say the demands they reviewed pose serious legal questions because they're not signed by a judge and may violate a housing discrimination law.
