As others have pointed out, Musk’s family benefited from apartheid but they are not Afrikaners.

Jumping to the assumption that any bad guys were Afrikaners falsely exonerates Anglo SA complicity and implication.

Musk’s grandfather—by all accounts the full Nazi in the family—was born in Minnesota
Making sure everyone understands: Afrikaners—Elon Musk’s people—built, enforced, and thrived under the apartheid system they created. Not just “white-ruled segregation”—it was systemic racial oppression to keep the white minority in power.

They don’t deserve refugee status—they were the oppressors!

The #PEPFAR tracker is following the real time impact of each passing day of the funding suspensions spurred by the USAID funding freeze. Although there is a waiver to allow dispersion of ART, this is not happening because clinic workers have been laid off. People are dying.

I can’t take seriously any demand for reducing aid dependency that begins with taking away services from the poorest of the poor. To me that is not aid - those are reparations that they are entitled to because of the structural injustices they endure. Start with military aid and then we can talk.

The Trump administration is scrubbing the CDC’s website of documents on reproductive rights issues, sexual health, intimate partner violence, and more.

I'm trying to save them.

You can find the deleted docs at CDCGuidelines.com - I'll be adding more over the weekend.

In case they skip over it in the obituaries, Jimmy Carter was the first and so far only US president to name the oppression of Palestinians as apartheid. He even wrote a whole book about it.

Every so often I go into Google search to check whether this is still the first search result when you look up “are there any countries in Africa beginning with K?” And it still is as of today.

Adding AI to search is working out great.
