U.S. WWII cemetery in the Netherlands removes displays about Black troops.
American & Dutch critics of the move say, it signifies an erasure of Black Americans’ contributions in the war and their work to liberate the Netherlands from the Nazis.

I have long called for a general strike as a way to flip the script, however, seeing how this whole thing with SNAP & the air traffic controllers situation played out, I don't think a goodly number of americans have the will to sustain an action that will help them change the equation. Why is that?

This is about women and children as objects and tools and how abuse of them is not just tolerated and ignored but facilitated and celebrated.

The no DEI, anti-immigrant guy. UNTIL the guy needs "FOREIGN WORKERS" as HOUSEKEEPERS, KITCHEN STAFF, SERVERS AND FARM WORKERS at the guys golf clubs, a vineyard and Barf-a-Lago.
Wonder what the guy is paying. Actually, wondering if the FOREIGN WORKERS will be paid at all.

Stories on BBC News - a street brawl which helpfully tells us those involved were “of Turkish origin” and another about a sex offender “Sudanese” but an extremely prolific sex offender responsible for 343 offences is not described as “white British” why is that

This entire trumpublicant regime is just one big extortion/grifting racket being run from the executive, legislative and judicial branches under the direction of the puppet president and his handlers and they have that former faux news teleprompter reader installed at the pentagon to back them up.

As usual Trump cries “ hoax” but in emails obtained by Congress, Epstein writes that Trump not only knew of his conduct with underage girls but

Must get behind and amplify a new Dem guard that won't bring a knife to a gunfight! Like Chris Pappas who is running for Jeanne Shaheen's seat. Gavin Newsome is making a case for himself to run for president. Osoff is vulnerable and needs to be supported.

Yet another serial abuser of women. May that tape of him beating the hell out of Cassie Ventura in that hotel haunt him forever. I'm sure he's trying whatever tactic he can to get out early and wants to whitewash his reputation && he will lean on the black community to do so. F THAT WOMAN BEATER!

What they are trying to normalize, if they can, is to positionthemselves as the deciders of whom gets or "deserves" certain services. They start with the most vulnerable populations, exactly because it's easier to do with those who have few resources, and then move up the food chain.
