It is long overdue that the mayor of New York, the home of financial institutions like Citi Bank and New York Life Insurance that built their wealth off of enslavement, reckon with this history and pave the way for true equality for Black and Indigenous New Yorkers. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/n...

The MAGA regime is quietly protecting discrimination by taking away our ability to measure it, making it undetectable and therefore unable to be remedied. But we have the power to stop this attempt to erase vital information for rectifying harm. apnews.com/article/eeoc...

Instead of admitting Black and brown people seeking asylum, the MAGA regime is spinning lies about the ongoing legacy of enslavement and apartheid so they can rule for a wealthy white few.

A new report from the MAGA-run State Dept confirms they only admitted White South Africans to enter the U.S. in June. Their “welcome” literature included whitewashed U.S. history and a manifesto against civil rights. Whites-only quotas + ICE acting as slave patrol 2.0 is part of one agenda.

Any moment where we've advanced as a country, where we’ve deepened democracy, where we've unwound white supremacy & advanced equality, there have been massive protest movements coming from the public & pushing politicians forward to push America to live up to its promises - @nacarty.bsky.social

America’s 250-Year History Has Plenty Of Protests. We're Looking Back At A Few Of The Most Significant.

JOAN SEBASTIAN GUERRERO SHOULD BE ALIVE ICE officers in Maine k*lled him in front of his wife and 3 year old daughter. This is the reality of the MAGA regime’s campaign to whiten America. We must refuse to comply & free America from slave patrol 2.0 and white supremacy.

From diluting the power of Black and brown voters to erasing civil rights & the truth of our history to deploying modern day slave patrols in our streets, this case is just one part of a Trump Crow strategy to lock in a white supremacist future. Today’s ruling shows we have the power to push back.

Our abolitionist ancestors fought to guarantee an unrealized ideal: that all are created equal, no matter our races or backgrounds. When they ended many forms of enslavement, they won constitutional protections like birthright citizenship that formed the foundation for equality for every group.

Whether our families were the first to belong in this land, brought here in bondage, or moved here more recently, we must refuse to comply with this regime’s white supremacist agenda and embrace our whole history and the whole of America.
