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 owns her.
This summer the Education Department rescinded the rule that let it spot discrimination by comparing racial outcomes.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 as soon as the order did.
At the Republican convention on September 10, Sen. Ted Cruz told the crowd that when Abdul El-Sayed, Michigan's Muslim Democratic Senate nominee, says he has an "obligation" to comply with Sharia law, "he means it." The quote was about a mortgage, from 2009. After Cruz named each of three Democrats, people in the crowd shouted "He should be shot!" Cruz's office didn't respond.
On September 10, in Dallas, the Vice President of the United States stood at the Republican convention and said: "We were tired of being called racists for noticing that our country was becoming dirtier and poorer and less safe and less prosperous." He didn't say what he noticed. He didn't have to. "Noticing" has been a racist in-joke online for years, and now it has a podium.
The morning after Texas upset Ohio State, the Republican nominee for Texas Railroad Commissioner posted a photo of South Asian students cheering in burnt orange and called it proof of "how many Americans have been displaced by foreigners." John Cornyn called it racism. The Texas House Speaker said it crossed the line. Bo French said it was about DEI, and kept going.
In June the Supreme Court held 6-3 that the law forbids courts from reviewing why the government ends Temporary Protected Status. Justice Kagan, dissenting, wrote that the President's statements about Haitians were "so repellent and racially inflected that the majority declines to put them in print." On July 27 protections ended for more than 300,000 Haitians. Reporting now places the coming enforcement in Springfield, Ohio... the same town the same administration built a lie about…
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…
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…
Tennessee's only majority-Black congressional district was 61.1 percent Black. In May the legislature repealed its own 54-year ban on mid-decade redistricting and cut Memphis into three pieces that came out 27, 28 and 32 percent. On July 23 a federal panel found the plaintiffs "lack any direct evidence of racial motivation," and then, in footnote 3, described the doctrine as a game in which the majority party "coaches its legislators to stay quiet." They stayed…
