this study will reveal that, for the most part, white southern newspaper editorials condemned Nazi racism but refused to acknowledge the obvious similarities between the German racial system and that of the South in the 1930s. On the other hand, to
 the chagrin of liberal southern editors, black newspapers made com
parisons between German and southern racism as early as 1933 and
 continued to do so consistently thereafter. Understandably, the black
 press often referred to the hypocrisy inherent in the anti-Nazi rhetoric
 of the region and its practices toward blacks.

Trumpโ€™s border czar earned consulting fees from immigrant detention firm Tom Homan, a top ICE official, earned an undisclosed amount from a division of the GEO Group, one of two companies that operates the majority of the nationโ€™s immigrant detention facilities.

Border Czar & Deporter-In-Chief Tom Homan worked as consultant for the same private prison company that will rake in millions of federal dollars as Trump rapidly expands immigration detention. The corruption continues..at expense of immigrant families.

In the past 3 days, after learning he has stage 4 cancer, Biden had to endure most of the Democratic Party tearing him the shreds. I can't imagine what that must have been like for him. He deserves better.

AWS enters into 'strategic partnership' with Saudi Arabia-backed Humain | TechCrunch Amazon says it'll work with Humain, the AI company recently launched by Saudi Arabiaโ€™s ruler, to invest '$5 billion-plus' in a strategic partnership.

Pretty incredible that Jeff Bezos' Amazon announced a "$5 billion-plus" partnership w/ a Saudi AI co launched by Mohammed Bin Salman and sent CEO Andy Jassy to meet with him less than 7 years after MBS murdered Jamal Khashoggi, a columnist for Bezos' Washington Post.

Sinners was one of the best movies I've ever seen. I need to see it again before it leaves theaters.

White smoke, Black pope? Pope Leo XIV, first American pontiff, has African roots Previously unknown genealogy on the 69-year-old Chicago native was revealed by genealogists shortly after white smoke rose in St. Peter's Square.

You know those people are gonna call him "DEI Pope."
