Part 3: Become an UPstander International Certified Educator! In this segment, I continue from part 2 where I discuss the problem of labeling all White people as "people of color."Here I look at which immigrant "people of color" experienced a rise in hate crimes in 2016. Language and context matter!

I’ve noticed on applications for various things that they’re now asking if people are citizens of other countries. Anyone else notice that?

Part 2: Should we be saying "People of color"? Become an UPstander International Certified Educator! In this video, I ask if it still makes sense to use the term “people of color.” What do you think? Sign up for the course and see how we unpack this for educators. upstanderonline.com to sign up!

My take: Joe Scarborough celebrates the death of “wokeness.” Does he know what it means? Many if his own thoughts can be considered “woke.” youtu.be/y0iq2HqpiI4?... @morningjoe-msnow.bsky.social #joescarborough @msnowreports.bsky.social @ms.now

‘Deeply demoralizing’: how Trump derailed coal country’s clean-energy revival Biden earmarked billions for former coal communities in Appalachia – and his successor came and took it away

In 2022, Biden earmarked billions of dollars to help former coal communities. It was the largest investment in Appalachia since LBJ's 1960s’ war on poverty.

But Trump won West Virginia 70% to 28% in 2024. And now he's taking away the funding Biden gave them.

When are they going to learn?

That's the idea! Wrecking the biggest threat to autocratic domination.

My take: Rep. Ilhan Omar and Somalis in America are NOT garbage! #trump is using the language of pre-ethnic cleaning and pre-genocide in how he talks about #Somalis as well as other groups like Latinos and Haitians. We cannot allow it. Speak up! Be an UPstander! @ilhanmn.bsky.social

National Guard shooting: can Muslims & Arabs suffer from mental illness? The shooter suffered from mental health issues, but Islamophobic stereotypes have taken over the narrative. Neither excuse the shooting, but the latter is dangerous for the Muslim/Arab community.

YouTube video by Dr. Omekongo Dibinga We can't allow Trump to get away with using the R-word.

My take: We can't allow Trump to get away with using the R-word. We need a campaign for humanity and basic dignity. Are you down to be a part of it? Then let’s GO! youtu.be/3SmpLA33WRA?... #upstander #trump #timwalz

YouTube video by Dr. Omekongo Dibinga DC did NOT welcome the National Guard and the media should not adopt this narrative!

DC did NOT welcome the National Guard. The media should not adopt this narrative! It’s important to hear the fears that parents, students, civic groups, & business owners had when the #nationalguard came to DC. As we pray for the soldiers, we mustn’t rewrite history youtu.be/5iZ2p15l7CI?...

DC school year starts with parents on edge over Trump's armed patrols As schools opened across the capital city, parental social media groups and listservs were buzzing with reports and rumors of checkpoints and arrests.

Listening to #deadlinewhitehouse I appreciate @nicollewallace.bsky.social saying the relationship was complicated but @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social is wrong to say the #nationalguard was welcomed in DC by all here. As this article shows, many of us were terrified www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...
