It’s Golden

Ilhan Omar immigrated to the United States as a refugee child in 1995, when her family was granted asylum and arrived in New York before settling in Virginia and then Minnesota.

Her family escaped a brutal civil war, displaced over a million refugees from 1991-1992 alone. The crisis peaked in 1992 with a severe drought exacerbating starvation, resulting in up to 300,000 deaths. The Somali conflicts of the 1990s displaced millions, creating one of the world’ largest refugee crises.

Omar followed the legal process, and became a citizen.

Meanwhile, Melania came here as an adult model on a tourist visa, worked without authorization, and later got an “extraordinary ability” visa.

These disgusting racists have always been among us. Trump gave them permission to be cowardly about it.

In a memo to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem regarding tribal members recently detained by ICE, Frank Star Comes Out, president of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, said:

“This is a treaty violation. Treaties are not optional. Sovereignty is not conditional. Our citizens are not negotiable.”

He added:

“The irony is not lost on us.”

Poetry about discrimination...

Why do humans conquer, divide acting on impulse echoing others wrongfully so emotions welling deep inside... desperately alone ~ Animosity, sexism racism and more ruinous to those we don’t even know and why, to what end hatred must go for centuries past taking their toll ~ For humanity’s sake we tumble and fall injustice and heartless a shameful sin heartache inflicted we all feel the pain human spirit falls what have they done to us, after all... ~ And what of our children learning to hate come together hand in hand for Heaven’s sake before we have lost so much that is good ~ Coming together with loving care heart and soul together we will survive, lest in disunity forever fall... * © Don MacIver Poetry 2025; All rights reserved If you liked this, please share it with someone you know! * Photo by Valeriia Miller on UnSplash

MAGA keeps writing the ads for the Democrats.

Keep spreading the word. The more people know the issues, the more people will know Republicans are responsible for the shutdown and that Democrats are fighting to save affordable health care.

Christofascists are gleaming with pride using their Trump 'thumbs up'. Look at all that white conservative pride.

These same smiling villains are currently not working and keeping the House vacant. No committees. No investigations. No hearings. No votes.

Strong progressive parties with engaged labor unions are the best defense against fascism.

RIP Roberta Flack
