  • The Education Department Found a Way to End School Discrimination: Stop Counting It

    Most entries in this roll call have a quote at the center: somebody said the thing. This one doesn't. The administration has figured out the quieter version, which is to stop looking. The Associated Press laid out the pieces on September 25. Here they are in order. In May 2025, President Trump signed an executive order directing federal agencies to stop examining "disparate impact": policies that look neutral on paper but land much harder on …

  • The Court Ruled It Could Not Look at Why. Now ICE Is Going to Springfield.

    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 …

  • Fifty Years of Keeping Score, and the Fiftieth Report Says the Dream Moved Further Away

    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 …

  • Tennessee Divided Memphis and Put the Rule in Writing: Say Nothing About Race

    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 In May the legislature repealed its own 54-year ban on mid-decade redistricting and cut Memphis into three pieces that came out 27, 28 and 32 percent.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 …

  • Ten Months After the Court Blessed the Stops, the Numbers Are In. The Dissent Was a Forecast.

    In September 2025, Justice Sotomayor dissented from the order that let immigration agents resume stops based partly on looking Latino: "We should not have to live in a country where the Government can seize anyone who looks Latino, speaks Spanish, and appears to work a low wage job." Ten months later, researchers pulled the government's own arrest data. Detentions of Latinos with no criminal record are up sixfold, and the agents are on bodycam using …

  • The Civil Rights Agency Is Now Running Recruitment Ads for Aggrieved White Men

    Some entries in this archive require context to understand why they belong here. This one requires context to believe it happened. The chair of the United States Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the agency Congress created in the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because Black Americans were being turned away from work on sight, posted this: That is not a critic's summary. That is the post, with a video attached, from the government account of the …

  • Nancy Mace Calls the Congressional Black Caucus "Federally Sanctioned Segregation"

    On July 23, 2026, Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina introduced a resolution directing the Committee on House Administration to revoke the registration of any Congressional Member Organization or Congressional Staff Organization that "discriminates on the basis of race, color, ethnicity, or national origin." At the centre of it are three organizations: the Congressional Black Caucus, founded in 1971; the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, founded in 1976; and the Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, founded in …

  • Republicans are doomed: How the GOP’s cynical election strategy is imploding

    As Donald Trump enmeshed himself in a bitter fight with the parents of an American Muslim military hero -- and Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell and John McCain looked to put distance between themselves and their party’s presidential nominee -- there’s actually worse news for Republicans. Several important court victories for voting rights since Friday could dramatically remake the campaign for Congress and the White House, and this time, GOP leadership may have a harder time …

  • Governor Chris Christie Calls for a Referendum on Civil Rights

    Chris Christie Psycho Talk About Civil Rights This one speaks for itself. The Governor says people would have rather voted on Civil Rights than fight for them in the 60's... But he has forgotten one thing... The people who were demanding their civil rights couldn't vote. You can't vote for your civil rights when you don't have civil rights. This just goes to show that even when one spends months convincing you that he is …
