Trump goes full racist during Black History Month, refuses to apologize. What the research says about why this matters.

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I donβt want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.
So far it seems like the mainstream media is mostly ignoring Trump posting a video of the Obamas as apes
NYT: βThe depiction of Mr. and Mrs. Obama as apes perpetuates a racist trope promoted by slave traders and segregationists,β www.nytimes.com/2026/02/06/u...
Every American needs to watch this:
The entire anti wokeness nonsense of the past decade was about making this kind of gutter racism broadly acceptable again bsky.app/profile/adam...
Since the damn Tea Party which was always about race/racism

Pour one out for every professional political pundit, writer, consultant whatever that has spent the last decade trying to pretend that the Trump phenomenon was about trade or opiates and not a big chunk of white america losing its mind over having a black president bsky.app/profile/kyle...
If Jeff Bezos could afford to spend $75 million on the Melania movie & $500 million for a yacht to sail off to his $55 million wedding to give his wife a $5 million ring, please don't tell me he needed to fire one-third of the Washington Post staff.
Democracy dies in oligarchy.
Jeff Bezosβs wealth has increased an average of $70 million every day of 2026, meaning that he could have offset The Postβs losses with what heβs made since Monday.
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
And thereβs the irony: in the attempt to avoid inserting itself into the argument, a news organisation which fails to distinguish empty statements from evidenced ones is doing exactly that.
You cannot, in 2026, report passively and hope to be truthful.

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
White. Hot. Rage.
More than 400 years of history and a decade of advocacy were torn down Thursday afternoon when National Park Service employees removed every single display at the Presidentβs House.

Please read this great Inquirer op-ed by my good friend Gwen
βThe Oglala Sioux Tribe is seeking answers after four enrolled members were detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Minneapolis.β

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Yearβs Eve. And like RenΓ©e Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.
I need yβall to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
this really is quite something. This is a mayor of a major U.S. city saying that he cannot do what he is legally empowered to do because he doesnβt have enough guns to do it. The thing is arresting agents of the federal government who are breaking laws.
THIS is what makes my head spin: The president is not a moral figure in any idiom, any land, any culture, any subculture. I'm not talking about the liberal enlightenment that would make him want the country to take care of the poor and sick. I mean he has no Republican values either. He has no honor among thieves, no cosa nostra loyalty, no Southern code against cheating or lying, none of the openness of New York, rectitude of Boston, expressiveness and kindness of California, no evangelical family values, no Protestant work ethic. No Catholic moral seriousness, no sense of contrition or gratitude. No Jewish moral and intellectual precision, sense of history. He doesn't care about the life of the mind OR the life of the senses. He is not mandarin, not committed to inquiry or justice, not hospitable. He is not proper. He is not a bon vivant who loves to eat, drink, laugh. There's nothing he would die for - not American values, obviously, but not the land of Russia or his wife or young
son. He has some hollow success creeds from Norman Vincent Peale, but Peale was obsessed with fair-dealing and a Presbyterian pastor; Trump has no fairness or piety. He's not sentimental; no affection for dogs or babies. No love for mothers, "the common man"" veterans. He has no sense of military valor, and is openly a coward about war. He would have sorely lacked the pagan beauty and capacity to fight required in ancient Greece. He doesn't care about his wife or wives; he is a philanderer but he's not a romantic hero with great love for women and sex. He commands loyalty and labor from his children not because he loves them, even; he seems almost to hate them β and if one of them slipped it would be terrifying. He does no philanthropy. He doesn't - in a more secular key - even seem to have a sense of his enlightened self-interest enough to shake Angela Merkel's hand. Doesn't even affect a love for the arts, like most rich New Yorkers. He doesn't live and die by aesthetics and health practices like some fascists; he's
very ugly and barely mammalian. Am I missing an obscure moral system to which he so much as nods? Also are there other people, living or dead, like him?

Looks like the 2026 Brazil game is going to be NC State and Virginia.
The proper response to this is a lifetime ban to all NCAA events.
So we'll wait to hear from the NCAA.
Regarding what happened with Texas A&M-SC today, among many other things, I was struck by the actions of No. 27 (Oscar Adaway III) on South Carolina.
Video shows him attempting to quickly de-escalate things as well as getting his teammate the hell out of there. A young man with great awareness.
Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.
UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.
Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.
This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.
