Trump pardons ‘white celebrities’ who committed tax and fraud crimes. Here’s why critics say that’s scary.

After issuing a series of high-profile pardons to individuals accused of committing tax and bank fraud, among other offenses, President Donald Trump is being accused of using the presidency to extend favors to friends and supporters, normalizing white-color crimes similar to those he himself has been convicted of or accused of committing. On Tuesday, President Trump pardoned reality TV stars Todd and Julie Chrisley, who were convicted in 2022 for financial fraud and tax evasion. Their daughter, Savannah Chrisley, was […]

Vice President JD Vance says universities are racially discriminating against whites and Asians

Vice President JD Vance accused American universities of racially discriminating against whites and Asians and echoed calls from the Trump administration for campuses to eliminate DEI policies and so-called liberal bias. “Our universities could see the policies of the Trump administration as a necessary corrective to these problems, change their policies, and work with the administration to reform,” Vance wrote in a post on X on Saturday, adding, “Or, they could yell ‘fascism’ at basic democratic accountability and drift further […]

‘We’re not begging’: Activists say Trump’s rollback of police reform only strengthens their fight

As the city of Minneapolis and the nation commemorated the fifth anniversary of George Floyd‘s murder this past Memorial Day weekend, the years-long national movement to reform police interactions with Black and brown communities–sometimes deadly–has seen both progress and major setbacks. The Black Lives Matter movement, following Floyd’s death in May 2020, aimed to transform the way police departments interact with Black and brown communities, garnering massive support from corporations and institutions–including commitments to investing in DEI and other programs […]

President Trump shares post calling Biden ‘decrepit corpse’ days after cancer diagnosis

President Donald Trump regularly insults his predecessor and former 2024 presidential opponent, former President Joe Biden. However, Trump’s latest jab against the 46th president of the United States was rather personal and maybe not well-timed. On Memorial Day, President Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to re-share a post from right-wing political commentator Rogan O’Handley that made a personal swipe at 82-year-old Biden. “They stole the 2020 election and hijacked the country using a decrepit corpse as […]

Thousands nationwide mark the 5th anniversary of George Floyd’s murder

Police reform and civil rights activists joined thousands of ordinary people Sunday to mark the fifth anniversary of George Floyd’s murder at religious services, concerts and vigils nationwide and decry the Trump administration for setting their efforts back decades. The Rev. Al Sharpton said at a Houston graveside service that Floyd represented all of those “who are defenseless against people who thought they could put their knee on our neck.” He compared Floyd’s killing to that of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old Black […]

The Digital Equity Act tried to close the digital divide. Trump calls it racist and acts to end it

One program distributes laptops in rural Iowa. Another helped people get back online after Hurricane Helene washed away computers and phones in western North Carolina. Programs in Oregon and rural Alabama teach older people, including some who have never touched a computer, how to navigate in an increasingly digital world. It all came crashing down this month when President Donald Trump — on his own digital platform, Truth Social — announced his intention to end the Digital Equity Act, a federal […]
