South Africa’s president calls Trump’s policy to offer refuge to white Afrikaners ‘racist’ US president is ‘truly uninformed’ for spreading claims of ‘white genocide’ in South Africa, Cyril Ramaphosa tells New York Times South Africa’s president Cyril Ramaphosa has called Donald Trump’s policy of allowing white Afrikaners to apply for refugee status in the US “racist,” saying the US president was “truly uninformed” in a rare instance of direct criticism. Ramaphosa told the New York Times that last year’s Oval Office meeting with the US leader, when Trump turned down the lights and played a video that he falsely claimed showed there was a “white genocide” in South Africa, was a “spectacle” and an “ambush”.

Some results from last night:

-A pro-ICE NC Dem lawmaker lost her primary by nearly 50 points
-Dems flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Arkansas
-Dem turnout eclipsed GOP turnout in four newly-gerrymandered TX House seats

Trump's midterm reckoning has begun.

Q: "Do you think Trump should be deposed by this committee?"

HILLARY: "Absolutely. Trump has been held civilly liable for sexual assault by a jury of his peers. That is behavior that fits a pattern."

GOV. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social : “(6) 🇺🇸 Service members died today, and Trump spent more time talking about his ballroom… American planes are being shot down… we have to reconcile while our bombs or 🇮🇱 bombs are being used to kill children at a school.”

If you’re wondering why the Trump Administration is cutting off health care for people across our state - look no further than the President’s own words:

“retribution is coming”

Plan for ICE detention center in Merrimack has been scrapped, governor says After two months of speculation, protests and public debate, the Department of Homeland Security is moving on from plans for an immigrant detention facility in Merrimack, WMUR was first to report on T...

We don't always have to wait for an election to see results.

Last week I met Granite Staters raising their voice against this proposed ICE detention facility.

Today, they won: the Trump administration gave up. Never underestimate your own power in moments like these.

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore a slavery-related exhibit at George Washington's former home in Philadelphia.

Judge Cynthia Rufe cited George Orwell's novel "1984," arguing the administration does not have the power to, in her words, "disassemble historical truths."

Pam Bondi has been a complete and total failure at her job. The Epstein survivors showed more courage just by being in that room than she did under oath. She refused to answer questions and chose complicity.

America deserves better.

The Citizen's Revolt Ordinary people serving on grand juries have become a new front line in the resistance against the Trump regime.

The Citizen's Revolt
open.substack.com/pub/robertre...
99% of Grand Juries return indictments, but 7 recently including today have declined to indict. This is a strong rebuke of tRump and his corrupt, weaponized DOJ.

Prosecutors fail to secure indictment against 6 Dem lawmakers A grand jury rejected the case against the lawmakers involved in a video urging military members to refuse illegal orders.

Good that the grand jury rejected this obviously illegal move to indict sitting Senators for making true statements. But horrifying that the government tried. The DOJ has been fully corrupted into a Trump propaganda arm. It will have to be rebuilt from the ground up

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."
