Any American medium that fails to cover the largest protests in American history is failing in the basic mission of informing the public about the facts.

Yepβ€”Trump Is Still the Most Racist President of the Last 100 Years His racism defines nearly everything he does. And it is making the United States of America a cruel, sick, mean place.

Trump long ago established that he’s a racist to the bone. He and his father wouldn’t rent to Black people. He said, β€œLaziness is a trait in Blacks.” He said some white supremacists in Charlottesville were β€œvery fine people.”

We don’t talk about it enough. trib.al/46GkUnW

Mohsen Mahdawi β€” the Columbia student arrested at his citizenship appointment β€” speaks Speaking to NPR in his first media interview since his detention, lawful permanent U.S. resident Mohsen Mahdawi finds peace in meditation and hopes "America will fulfill its promise."

If the Trump administration wanted to oppose antisemitism, they could start with themselves. They are trivializing the concept of antisemitism, making it meaningless β€” and that is a terrible antisemitic action.

House Dems travel to El Salvador to secure Maryland man's return More Democrats are making the trip abroad to raise awareness for what they call a β€œconstitutional crisis” surrounding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation.

We have arrived in El Salvador.

Trump is illegally arresting, jailing, & deporting people with no due process. We must hold the Administration accountable for these illegal acts and demand Kilmar’s release. Today it’s him, tomorrow it could be anyone else.

I'm not sure why we are pretending this has anything to do with "DEI" anymore.

There is a systematic effort to purge any acknowledgement that race or racism or gender or misogyny EXIST

i was just complaining about this to a friend a few days ago. the punditry is obsessed with this retreat to discourse, where there is an inability to examine the actual phenomenon itself. instead, they engage in language games or treat politics as a question of definitions

β€œIn the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." As the foundation of #democracy in America crumbles and the vulnerable are under attack from a rogue administration, we, the people, are asking our former presidents to "Say something!”

A resignation letter from UCSF's Jack L. Turban, MD MHS, to NCAA President Charles D. Baker, dated February 6, 2025. Turban resigns from the CSMAS committee, disagreeing with the NCAA's decision to ban trans women from women's sports, citing lack of medical/scientific consensus and political motivation. He thanks the committee for their work but criticizes the decision's basis.

This is how it’s done. Dr. Jack Turban is resigning after the NCAA announced it is banning transgender athletes from women’s sports.
