Peter Thiel and Elon Musk were shaped by apartheid. Their families profited from mines built on Black exploitation. What’s unfolding in the U.S. isn’t new—it’s apartheid’s legacy, updated for global control.

Cook a pound of macaroni, then put it back in the pot with about three tbsp of butter. In separate bowl, mix 1 can evaporated milk (not sweetened condensed!), 8 oz shredded cheddar, and two egg yolks. Maybe 1 tsp mustard. Mix it back into the pasta over medium heat until cheese melts. Add salt.
