They Named It “Cloud Dancer.” It’s Still White. Pantone didn’t just choose white as the Color of the Year.

Pantone named its Color of the Year “Cloud Dancer.”
It’s white.
100+ shades. Same absence.
Whiteness keeps crowning itself while pretending it’s neutral, timeless, inevitable. It isn’t.

I wrote about why this choice isn’t aesthetic...it’s power.

The Myth of Proximity: Why Some Asian Communities Keep Reaching for Whiteness While Running From Blackness Every few months, the internet hands us a case study in racial hierarchy, and for the past few weeks it arrived inside a fluorescent-lit grocery aisle at H-Mart.

Every time someone says “we did immigration the right way,” I hear “we’re not like them.”

This piece is about H-Mart, Asian proximity to whiteness, and why distancing from Blackness won’t save anyone.

A war criminal without a war It's just murder.

"When there’s no war, you aren’t committing war crimes when you kill people indiscriminately. You’re just a straight-up murderer."

I heard that too

Where are the Epstein files????

Who’s going to stop them?

We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work.

“Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

The Day I Stopped Being “That One” I watched Oprah’s recent special on people who’ve gone no contact with family, and I’ll be honest: I felt seen.

Some stories don’t start with a single moment , they start the day you’re born.
If you’ve ever had to walk away from someone you were “supposed” to love, this one’s for you.

We Need To Talk About Pete(Hegseth) If Pete Hegseth were anyone else, literally anyone, he’d be in handcuffs already.

Pete Hegseth blew up a boat full of migrants, laughed about it, and somehow he’s still walking free. White male impunity is the most American thing there is.

BTW, these recent stories/leaks against Hegseth and Kristi Noem came from within the White House and MAGA.

The knives are out, folks.

Screenshot of a Meidas+ article titled “Today in Politics, Bulletin 259. 11/28/25” by Ron Filipkowski. The text discusses a Washington Post report revealing that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued illegal orders to “kill everybody” during a missile strike that killed 11 people, including ordering a second strike to kill survivors. It includes quotes from military experts arguing the Pentagon’s campaign is unlawful, amounts to murder, and constitutes war crimes. The article also quotes Army veteran Fred Wellman calling the orders “insanely illegal” and noting they violate prohibitions on killing wounded prisoners.

Could Pete Hegseth be charged with murder? Catch up on the latest in today's bulletin: www.meidasplus.com/p/today-in-p...

Campbell’s Soup for the Poor Soul We already knew the truth, even if we tried to ignore it.

When a Campbell’s executive calls their own food “inedible” and “for poor people,” believe them.
They’re telling us exactly what they think we deserve.

The Professional Degrees Trump Says Don’t Deserve Funding There’s a special kind of cruelty in pretending something is about “fiscal responsibility” when the real target is women.

A president who built his brand on chaos is now rewriting what counts as a professional degree, and the fields he’s targeting are overwhelmingly staffed by women. Nursing, teaching, social work… all suddenly “not worth” federal loans?

The Evil They Imagined for Gonâve Island When I read the story about the two white men from Texas plotting to travel to Gonâve Island in Haiti, my whole body went cold.

What kind of evil makes white men believe they can descend on a Haitian island and do whatever they want?

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.

Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.

ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
