The right’s “cancel culture” panic was always a convenient grift. But let’s be real: plenty of elites on the left also acted like speech was more threatened by annoying undergrads than by powerful elites. And truth be told, Obama’s not off the hook here either.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
Let’s be clear about what happened to Jimmy Kimmel
Trump’s most brazen attack on free speech yet.

This is already happening. But the truth is, Black people never had allies. We have people that will sometimes strategically work with us to get what they want and then tell us to "Fuck off" once they get what they want.
What sucks is that some of our white allies will start turning against minorities to protect their livelihood...only a matter of time...

It’s funny that the NY Post reports this as if it’s a dig on Jimmy Kimmel — when it’s actually a rallying cry for his fans.

People won't call this eugenics but if you're vanishing non-white folks and trying to give the remaining white folks money to procreate... 🤷🏽♂️
Could a $5,000 "baby bonus" convince Americans to have more kids? Here's what the data shows.

President Trump said that a baby bonus provided to new parents could be a "good idea." Here's how it's worked in other countries.

Because it is the Palestinians' misfortune not only to be colonised but also to be colonised by Europe's millenia-old Other, persecuted, racialised and genocided. Which means they face challenges other anti-colonial movements did not face. Ignoring these challenges only strengthens Israel.
