DEAFENING... or at least that's what I've oft read or heard when matters of concern don't seem to garner much of a response. Yet the continued Trump/MAGA assaults of discrimination and disenfranchisement against Black people, immigrants of colour, gays, women, and other minorities are REGULARLY happening at such a pace, and on many fronts, that it gets barely a mention in the MSM... if at all.

Here are a few more such headlines. I know, it's a lot. But if it's any consolation, there are 107 more I haven't posted... yet.

The Receipts: The Receipts: Every Way Trump Has Hurt Black People in His Second Term The Trump second term impact on Black Americans is no longer theoretical. From rising Black unemployment and DEI rollbacks to voting restrictions, HBCU funding cuts, and attacks on the Smithsonian, the first sixteen months of Trump’s second term have produced measurable consequences across Black America.

A third of the Congressional Black Caucus could lose seats amid redistricting Almost a third of the membership of the Congressional Black Caucus -- 19 of its 62 members -- are at risk of losing their seats through the 2028 election cycle as Republicans in southern states where they control the legislature move swiftly to redraw congressional maps less than two weeks after the Supreme Court dealt a blow to Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act.

Rep. Clyburn says GOP redistricting push is part of larger Black disenfranchisement effort U.S. Rep. James Clyburn, the longtime Black representative from South Carolina whose seat could be at stake in mid-decade congressional redistricting, told ABC News that he sees the redrawing of congressional seats held by Black lawmakers as part of a larger history of discrimination and disenfranchisement against Black Americans.

The ‘Black recession’ is here: Trump’s tariffs gutted Black workers and Black-owned businesses According to data analyzed by the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Black Americans have suffered the most under Trump’s tariffs program

Reverse Racism Lawsuits Target Black Programs as Wealth Gap Tells a Different Story Why Are Right-Wing Law Firms Suing Black Support Programs Like the Playing Field Was Ever Fair?

Pete Hegseth Fired US Army Chief Of Staff Because He Wants To Be Racist In Peace When Donald Trump nominated former Fox news pundit Pete Hegseth to serve as defense secretary, he replaced Lloyd Austin, the nation’s first Black defense secretary, who happened to be a four-star general, and who, during his 41-year military career, also served as director of the Joint Staff, was commanding general of U.S. and coalition forces in Iraq, and headed U.S. Central Command

Pentagon Pete took aim at women and minorities in secret purge Hegseth’s block on promotions for senior female and Black officers was just the tip of the iceberg of Pentagon discrimination. He’s embarked on a demotion rampage targeting women and Black men while touting a so-called “warrior ethos” makeover of the military.

In Trump’s military, white male supremacy reigns Executing on Trump’s vision of white male supremacy, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth is personally blocking advancement of Black and female military leaders, undoing decades of progress in America’s armed services.

Trump Sued for Firing Most of the Black Officials in Government Trump has removed Black Senate-confirmed appointees; he has either nominated a non-Black individual for their replacement or has not formally replaced them at all,” the lawsuit states. “This trend fits with Trump’s consistent messaging criticizing diversity and inclusion and his clear and demonstrable emphasis on hiring white people.”

Idaho town voted to remove Juneteenth as official city holiday "Juneteenth is something that nobody had heard of until five years ago and was pushed for political purposes,’ Post Falls mayor, Randy Westlund, told his city council, ignoring the history of Texans and generations of Americans who have celebrated the end of slavery in the United States. (ignoring? no just fkn ignorant)

Justice Department Indicts Southern Poverty Law Center For Paying Informants Of White Supremacist Groups Here’s a question: If the Trump administration isn’t a white supremacist organization, then why is Donald Trump’s Department of Justice prosecuting one of the nation’s most well-known civil rights organization for using paid informants to infiltrate white supremacists?

Civil rights groups condemn Southern Poverty Law Center’s indictment and prepare for legal fights “It’s a blatantly obvious attack on civil rights and civil liberties to whitewash the foot soldiers of the great replacement theory and other extremists. This coalition isn’t going silent,” said Maya Wiley, president and chief executive of the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, an umbrella organization of hundreds of civil rights groups.

Stephen Miller sinks to new level of white supremacy Miller presented his white supremacist version of history in an attempt to defend Trump’s ruthless imperialistic projects by claiming people could only “live freely” (after hundreds of years of violent European feudalism and colonisation) if they “got rid of the people who were raping and murdering and defying established systems of order and justice.”

Wealthy Florida community caught up in Republican racist chat uproar Miami-Dade GOP secretary Abel Carvajal created a conservative student group chat that quickly became choked with racist slurs, n-words, descriptions of women as ‘whores,’ slurs directed at Jewish and gay people, and musings about Hitler’s politics.

New report reveals 70 suspected modern lynchings in the Deep South The report, titled “A Crimson Record,” was produced by the civil rights organization Justice for Julius Action Network, often referred to as JULIAN. Researchers examined cases between 2000 and 2025 in Texas, Mississippi, Georgia, Louisiana, Florida, Tennessee, and Alabama.

GOP governor candidate explodes at Black voter: You should be lynched! Florida GOP gubernatorial candidate James Fishback blew up at a Black voter, telling him he should be "lynched" for asking about allegations of inappropriate behavior with teenagers.

St. Louis Cops Claimed They Had to Shoot Black Teen in the Back of His Head Because He Was a Threat, Then the Body-Camera Video They Hid for Over a Year Surfaced St. Louis cops initially claimed they shot and killed Emeshyon because the teen turned and pointed a gun at them, but body camera footage later released shows the teen never turned around and never had a gun in his hand when he was shot in the back of the head.

4. That is a very sad list.

We weren’t great but we I thought we were headed in the right direction. Maybe I was wrong.

7. I think I'm still telling myself fairytales.

70 lynchings, 70! And that was prior to the “current “ age. What is wrong with us?

5. Of the multitude...

... of despicable transgressions committed by the Trump regime, their blatant racism is, by far, the most egregious. There will be NO forgiveness, and NO mercy for these evil swine. At least, not by me.

13. Silence? NONSENSE.

If you think America has been silent in the face of this Facist regime, you simply aren’t paying attention.

Perhaps a more accurate title for your post would be “America isn’t noisy enough to distract me from my doomscrolling”.

14. Progress Lost

Not just intentional malpractice from Corporate McPravda, but the political leadership has been largely silent or silenced. Where is the organized resistance to the GOP onslaught? We should reach across the aisle to those loyal to the Constitution and build a consensus against the fascists. Yet, when we held both houses of congress and the executive, we still couldn’t get past Tommy Tuberville.
