I'm of 2 minds on the Gavin Newsom refusal to tax billionaires.

1) He's just another schmucko trying to get more power.

They assimilated into whiteness out of fear. Because of the racism they faced. (Dego WOP means "without papers").

And other European Americans did the same, like the Irish.

America is supposed to be a melting pot. But instead of embracing our differences, we bullied everyone into being the same...

Portland, OR, is trying to cobbled together $600M to renovate the Moda Center so the Trail Blazers basketball team doesn't move away. Sports leagues blackmail cities this way. That's $600M not there for schools, police, roads, arts, ... The billionaire owners & millionaire players can't afford it.

A few months ago I talked about a documentary that Gloria Estefan did called Sangre Yoruba (Yoruba Blood) about how because of slavery the Yoruba people in Cuba and Brazil created new styles of music. Please watch it. It's really good and interesting. Here's the full doc:

15 Historians File Amicus Brief in Trump v. US Debunking Immunity Claim Historians show that history doesn’t support presidential immunity from criminal prosecution.

Free speech is about as American as it gets, or at least it used to be. Team USA is getting backlash for speaking out against ICE brutality and more.

Donald Trump punches down, as usual.

I would call that attempted murder. #iCEOut

Because he can't destroy history. He can try, but Trump won't succeed and we need to heed the lessons from the past.

in their walkout speech, Nathalie told their classmates,

"We’re being dehumanized and there’s nothing we can really do about it because we’re high schoolers... Not only are our parents being hunted, taken and kidnapped, but it’s also our little siblings being used as bait and then being taken."

Samiya, 17, led her Los Angeles high school's walkout.

"The White House has a TikTok account, and they’ll post things like 'deportation ASMR'. You go on YouTube the night before school, and you watch an ad of Kristi Noem threatening everybody who has ever come to this country. It’s frightening."

That kind of movement can reduce plant diversity and affect pollinators and wildlife that rely on those plants. Researchers have also examined potential health risks for people with repeated or high exposure, such as agricultural workers. Studies have shown associations with certain
