Thom explains how Doanld Trump’s campaign against Haitian immigrants is rooted in racism and how the Republican-controlled Supreme Supremacist Court chose not to see the truth when it was right there in front of their faces.

America’s original sin of chattel slavery and the myth of racial superiority manufactured to legitimize it continue to exact their toll.

Deport them if they dare to disagree.

In these Trumpled times, it seems that’s the new American way.

“History Does Not Repeat Itself, but It Often Rhymes”* 0

Angela Wilson looks at the placement of proposed AI data centers and hears a rhyme. Here’s a bit from her parsing of the poesy:

It’s a tale as old as time in the American South. Longtime Black residents are either forced out of their homes or required to deal with pollution—both air and noise alike—while Silicon Valley reaps the profits.

“Black communities face the highest impact from AI and data centers because they’re already disproportionately impacted by climate change, which is driven by CO2 emitted in part by the energy production involved in running data centers,” according to the Climate Justice Alliance.

Apparently, the Trump maladministration plans to inensify its ethnic cleansing war against immigrants who are not from white people from South Africa.

Personally, I can’t argue with her, because she is quite correct:

A Haitian woman who has lived in the U.S. for two decades accused President Donald Trump’s administration of committing “ethnic cleansing” by pushing to deport her and others living under Temporary Protected Status back to her home country.

When you cut through the Trumpian gobbledygook quoted in this report, it becomes clear that the Trump maladministration wants the Smithsonian Institution to promote partisan propaganda, rather than nurture knowledge.

The Trump maladministration seems to believe that, if we don’t talk about America’s originial sin of chattel slavery, then, by jimiminy, it really couldn’t have been all that bad.

Afterthought:

It’s all about whitewashing–you will pardon the expression–the racism.

They claim that they don’t wan’t to discuss things that make America look bad.

What they mean is that they don’t want to discuss things that make white American racists look bad.

Grung_e_Gene, who happens to work in law enforcement, ain’t buying the Trump maladministration’s attempt to justify lynchings extra-judicial killings by ICE. Here’s a bit from his post:

Yet, again the Gestapho imitators at ICE have launched an attack on a person not committing a crime, in unmarked vehicles, while not in uniform, wearing regular clothing, while masked, guns drawn, seemingly without identifying themselves, using their vehicles as a weapon, and thus ended up executing a man.
