In my world, “the talk” is what Black parents have w/our kids, about how to survive an encounter w/police who see them as a threat because of our skin color.
Latino families have their talk, w/kids even younger, about ICE who see them as criminals: “If we disappear…”
Different fear. Same America.

Folks on TV say Trump blaming DEI is “inaccurate” & “inappropriate.” Huh? Is that all? What Trump is saying is ugly. It’s racist. He's blaming brown & black people for the crash. He's saying brown & black people aren't qualified. “Inaccurate” doesn't cut it. What Trump is saying is racist & bigoted.

Just to be clear, because the NYT doesn't spell this out in the article: This is clearly an effort to defund, and therefore destroy, our nation's public broadcasters. At a time when the information ecosystem is crumbling under the weight disinformation, this effort could not be more nefarious.

The Anglican Catholic Church has defrocked Father Calvin Robinson after the priest went viral for mimicking a recent gesture by Elon Musk that looked like a Nazi salute. It happened at the end of a speech Robinson made at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, DC.

The combined wealth of the world's billionaires grew by $2 trillion in 2024 — nearly three times faster than it did in 2023.
That's $5.7 billion PER DAY.
Once again: It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of extreme wealth concentration to continue.

Trump has previously said he wants the death penalty for drug dealers, but then pardons Ross Ulbricht, the creator of a black market business that facilitated $183 million in illegal drug transactions. I guess the color of your skin really does matter.
