After enslaving our African ancestors, instituting Jim Crow against our mothers and fathers, and discriminating against our people for over 400 years, these racist Cr*ck*rs have perverted the law and made themselves the victims.

If this does not compel our people to unite and commit to the struggle for Black liberation, nothing will.

It is time for us to stand up as a people and fight for our rights.

As Malcolm X stated in regards to this wicked white man, “If he’s not ready to clean his house up, if he’s not ready to clean his house up…he shouldn’t have a house. It should catch on fire. And burn down."

If you continue to deny freedom, justice, and equality to Black people, there is nobody in this God Damn country that will enjoy these rights either, at least not in peace.

Ready For Revolution

Dean Obeidallah at The Dean's Report:

On Tuesday, we learned that Elon Musk is not actually part of the Department of Government Efficiency (“DOGE”) that he is utilizing to wage a war on federal agencies. Rather he’s a “Senior Advisor to the President" and as such as a “special government employee.” But there are a few things we have long known about Musk. For starters, he has made billions from the federal government. As the NY Times reported recently, “Musk’s companies secured $13 billion in contracts over the past five years.” While Musk is gutting agencies that help Americans from the FAA to the National Labor Relations Board, Musk’s companies saw nearly $4 billion in government contracts in 2024—with lots more on the way in 2025 given his close ties to Trump. And second—while this has received less attention---Musk’s companies were being investigated by various federal agencies during the Biden administration. As the NY Times found, in January 2025, there were 32 continuing investigations into Musk’s six companies being led by at least 11 different federal agencies. These ranged from discrimination complaints filed by Black Tesla workers to potential stock fraud to consumer complaints about Tesla and more.

Some of the most visible investigations into Musk’s companies include the FAA seeking $633,000 in civil penalties against SpaceX for “allegedly failing to follow its license requirements during two launches in 2023.” The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) suing Musk for violating the Securities Exchange Act by failing to divulge to the public he had purchased more than five percent of Twitter stock as he was seeking to take over that company. If the public had known Musk had purchased the stock, the price would’ve jumped costing Musk more money to be future stock shares. The SEC is seeking disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and other penalties. Then there is the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)—a watchdog agency for workers—that is pursuing at least 24 investigations into Tesla, SpaceX and other Musk companies. And the list goes on.

But since Musk has come to power with his DOGE operatives, he has targeted the very agencies that were investigating him. In fact, Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee--led by Rep. Jamie Raskin--recently released a fact sheet that details how Trump and DOGE are “punishing” agencies that were investigating Musk. Examples cited by the House Democrats include the NLRB investigation on behalf eight Space X employees fired “in retaliation for speaking critically of Musk.” And a lawsuit by the E.E.O.C. that sued Musk’s Tesla for widespread and “ongoing racial harassment of its Black employees” and retaliation. These investigations appeared to have ground to a halt because Trump recently fired the E.E.O.C. commissioners and the chair of the NLRB. Trump also fired the Inspector General for the Dept of Labor that oversees both. And when Trump replaces these people—if ever—it’s expected to be with people who will be pro-Musk.

[...] To answer these questions, I filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the various agencies that were reportedly investigating Musk’s companies. My hope is to uncover information about the status of the investigations of Musk from the consumer complaints to the FAA fines. Federal law requires these agencies disclose any information requested under the FOIA unless the information falls into one of nine exemptions. Of course, the law doesn’t matter to Trump nor Musk as we are seeing. It will be telling if Trump’s regime ignores my requests for info concerning Musk. But that doesn’t mean that you and I should not request it—which you can easily do online. I will of course update people on anything I receive. We have never seen these types of brazen conflicts of interest, self-dealing and corruption playing out for all to see. The anger of the people is growing. And at some point, there will be a reckoning for Musk and the other oligarchs. The only question is what does that look like?!

The New York Times passed over a white male worker with the right chops for an editor’s job — instead choosing a less qualified multiracial woman, a federal watchdog claimed Tuesday, suing the Gray Lady.

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accused the newspaper of breaching civil-rights law by discriminating against the unnamed male candidate based on his race or sex, according to the agency’s complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.

[ The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission accused the New York Times of passing over a white man for a top editorial role in favor of a less-qualified multiracial candidate to meet diversity goals. ]

Nikita Stewart — the Times’ then-real-estate editor who has since been promoted to metro editor — “deviated from normal hiring protocol” in January 2025 to hire someone without experience editing real-estate coverage to work as her deputy, the suit alleged.

The white man who was bypassed for the gig had “considerable experience with real estate news,” which had been a supposed requirement included on the public job listing for the position, the EEOC claimed in the reverse-discrimination lawsuit.

The Times’ hiring decision came amid a broader push at the paper to add more non-white managers in leadership positions.

The paper in 2021 developed a “Call To Action,” which stated that “people of color—and particularly women of color—remain notably underrepresented in its leadership,” the suit said.

Times spokeswoman Danielle Rhoades Ha dismissed the lawsuit Tuesday as a “politically motivated” case brought by a Trump administration, which that has frequently clashed with the outlet.

“Our employment practices are merit-based and focused on recruiting and promoting the best talent in the world,’’ Ha said in a statement. “We will defend ourselves vigorously.

“Neither race nor gender played a role in this decision – we hired the most qualified candidate, and she is an excellent editor,” Ha said of the deputy editor, who has not been identified, either.

But the suit urged a federal judge to order the Times to enact policies that “provide equal employment opportunities for individuals regardless of race or sex,” and to award the unnamed allegedly stiffed editor punitive damages.

The case comes amid a series of attacks by the Trump administration on so-called “diversity, equity and inclusion” initiatives at businesses.

Trump has separately filed a $15 billion defamation lawsuit against the Times and publisher Penguin Random House for publishing the book “Lucky Loser: How Donald Trump Squandered His Father’s Fortune and Created the Illusion of Success” by Times journalists Susanne Craig and Russ Buettner.

There's no such thing as "reverse discrimination." It's discrimination: racism and sexism. No qualifier.
