We do not and have never had an immigration "problem" or an immigration "crisis" in this country. We do, however, have a xenophobia and racism problem, and it's getting worse.

Bezalel Smotrich responded to the UK sanctions by cutting off Palestinian banks from the Israeli financial system and ending the waiver allowing Palestinians to use the shekel.

In other words, he's unbanking all of Palestine.

When the story of troops sleeping on the floor in California after Trump sent them with no plan went viral… Musk’s Grok quickly sprang into action and told people the SF Chronicle pics were actually from Afghanistan in 2021.

It is VERY obvious the regime wants us to be afraid of them. So obvious it barely needs stating. “Fear us” is their entire public messaging. And they give us much to fear, but I feel like every moment we can steal where we feel unafraid is worth a lot.

why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.

What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

The truth is, once it’s been burned to ground, and make no mistake our nation’s system of government is being burned to the ground, e we will have to go through a period of extreme discomfort, and then rebuild anew. I imagine the EU has some lessons for us.

Teaching unwhitewashed history is not DEI. Stocking a Black-owned brands THAT PEOPLE BUY is not DEI. Recruiting HBCU grads is not DEI. Addressing racial disparities is NOT DEI. Treating LGBTQIA people like PEOPLE is NOT DEI

Trump isn’t dismantling DEI

He is reconstructing a WHITER supremacy
DEI Is the New Black
The demonization of anyone who is not white, straight and male is a tradition as old as America.

President Trump’s illegal executive order freezing billions in federal funding is a direct attack on veterans, active duty military, their families, and communities across America. He is solely responsible for this reckless and unlawful decision.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s EO halts funding for veterans’ rural health care, suicide prevention, and housing for homeless vets. These aren’t just programs—they are lifelines for the men and women who’ve sacrificed everything for this country.
