MINNEAPOLIS: “All I did was step outside as a Somali American citizen, and I got chased by a masked person, assaulted, kidnapped. It was inhumane. If this is what’s happening to a 🇺🇸 citizen on camera, imagine what could happen to your loved ones.”

There have always been enemies to school integration, and they are making moves to bring it back. The tactics are quieter, using tools like school vouchers and selective destruction of fed law enforcement. Donald Trump is making Jim Crow great again. prospect.org/2025/11/19/t...
The Trump Administration Is Quietly Preparing to Bring Back School Segregation - The American Prospect
It starts with vouchers and the destruction of the Office for Civil Rights.

It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

BERMAN: Did you see any evidence of them trying to use a radio in the video you saw?
TOM COTTON: Well I saw lots of evidence of them standing on the boat that had been capsized
BERMAN: That wasn't my question. Did you see any evidence?

"Extreme wealth is never earned; it is only enabled."
"Because working people have been shunted into defined contribution, self-funded retirement schemes, their futures are wedded to stock market returns in a way that people in similarly wealthy democracies find unimaginable." Inequality in the US is obscene. My thoughts:

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

i'd go even further and say there is a reason even nixon kept this kind of stuff to himself. you would have to go back quite a bit to find a point at which is acceptable for a president to say anything like this *in public*, to say nothing of in the oval office.
I don’t want to be pollyannish about the past, but it was basically inconceivable twenty years ago that a president would say this publicly
Trump: "It’s a hellhole right now. And those Somalians should be out of here. They've destroyed our country. And all they do is complain, complain, complain. You have her. She’s always talking about the Constitution provides me with – go back to your own country and figure out your constitution."

The Trump administration is waging an illegal assault on public school kids.
Instead of working to lower costs for Americans, Trump is hellbent on punishing underserved students by dismantling the Department of Education.
I will not let that happen on my watch.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.
