I wrote about how the Trump administration won’t let Black people use MATH to prove racism exists.

Trump is directing his administration to begin de-naturalizing around 100-200 people per month, on top of current immigration efforts to end visas, deport illegals, and deny visa applications.

Forget about the nonsense stories like the Kennedy Center being renamed or whatever Bari Weiss is doing
At least 3,800 immigrant children were detained in 2025. Now, kids are not supposed to be kept more than 20 days
At least 1,300 of them have been held longer than 20 days-some for over 4 months

Someone said they hope the Reiner trial last longer then 3 years so there’s no chance of a Trump pardon for the son if found guilty.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

NEW: For decades, the DOJ relied on the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to foil and forestall attempts to discriminate against minority voters.
On Wednesday, the DOJ filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to devastate and vitiate much of what’s left of the landmark civil rights legislation.
