Donald Trump's administration has proposed another year of refugee admissions centered on white South African Afrikaners. There is room for people fleeing persecution. The question is who gets priority.
Trump's administration proposes up to 17,500 refugee admissions for fiscal year 2027, primarily for white South African Afrikaners. His signed decision added 10,000 places for Afrikaners in fiscal year 2026. Global Refuge reported on September 22 that all but three of the 12,904 refugees admitted that year as of its statement came from South Africa. The preference has a paper trail.

In late August, Laura Loomer, the activist President Trump has praised and hosted at the White House, went after Florida's Democratic Senate nominee Angie Nixon, then widened the target to Ilhan Omar, Ayanna Pressley, Cori Bush and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson. Her defense: "Is she ghetto? Yes. Is she black? Yes." Marjorie Taylor Greene, of all people, said the party …
This summer the Education Department rescinded the rule that let it spot discrimination by comparing racial outcomes. Its new guidance says schools can't consider race when writing discipline policy, even when one group is suspended far more than the rest. Meanwhile the Justice Department has closed more than 50 school desegregation cases. In one Louisiana parish, the transfers stopped almost …
This one is about religion before it is about race, and this archive says so up front, as it always has. But the machinery is the same one we document every week: pick the name that sounds foreign, attach a threat to it, and let the room do the rest. On September 10, at the Republican midterm convention, Sen. Ted Cruz offered the crowd "a simple truth: When people tell you who they are, believe them." Then he went down a list of Democrats. New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani. Texas ...
The Republican outreach continues! The party wants you to know it is sick and tired of being called racist. Really sick of it. So tired that the Vice President of the United States made it a centerpiece of his convention speech. On Thursday, September 10, at the American Airlines Center in Dallas, JD Vance gave his closing argument for the midterms. This is the line: "We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer and less safe and less prosperous." Read that ...
Some wins are big enough that the whole state gets to enjoy them. The Longhorns' upset of Ohio State was one of those. Kids in burnt orange, screaming in the stands, having the best Saturday of the semester. Bo French had a different reaction. French is the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner, the office that regulates the state's oil and gas industry, on the ballot against Democratic state Rep. Jon Rosenthal of Houston. He is also the former chair of the Tarrant County Republican Party. On Sunday, September 13, ...
On June 25, 2026, in Mullin v. Doe, the Supreme Court cleared the way to end Temporary Protected Status for roughly 350,000 Haitians and more than 6,000 Syrians. The vote was 6 to 3, Justice Alito writing. The holding is narrow-sounding and enormous: the TPS statute bars judicial review of the Secretary's determination, and "determination" swallows the steps leading up to it, including whether the Secretary followed the procedure Congress wrote. Analysts put the number of people whose protections are now effectively unreviewable at about 1.3 million across seventeen nationalities. ...
The National Urban League has published State of Black America every year since 1976. The 50th edition landed last week with a sentence that should have led every newscast in the country: the American Dream "may not be dead for many Black Americans, but it is further away than at any point since the Civil Rights Movement." Black homeownership sits at 44 percent against 73 for white Americans. The median Black household holds fifteen cents for every white dollar. And the federal offices built to measure exactly this are being …
On Saturday, Georgia's Republican Senate nominee stood in East Point in front of about a hundred Black conservatives and asked for their votes. His party's own operatives put the target at 15 percent of the Black vote. This page has assembled the complete file that request has to survive: the death-flight joke, the antisemitic reply he refused to delete, the monkey-chant video he captioned approvingly, the chief of staff in a group chat with Nick Fuentes and Richard Spencer, and the son-in-law who says there is nothing wrong with white …
On April 29, 2026, the Supreme Court decided Louisiana v. Callais and told states they can almost never consider race when drawing maps to comply with Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. Tennessee is one of eight Republican-controlled states that have taken up mid-decade redistricting since, by the Associated Press's count. Tennessee moved fast. Since 1972, Tennessee law had said the congressional map gets drawn once after each census and that "the districts may not be changed between apportionments." In a May 2026 special session, the General Assembly repealed ...
