End of the Week Updates.

 


Today, the Supreme Court said that Trump must facilitate the return of the man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador. He is from Maryland, and his name is Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia. He is a Salvadoran national. He was kidnapped by government agents and sent to El Salvador without due process of law. The Supreme Court said part of the lower court's order requiring the government to effectuate his return was unclear and needed further review. The Supreme Court didn't give a deadline for when Abrego Garcia should be returned. The opinion was unsigned, and no dissents existed. The decision was vague on how to send Abrego Garcia home to return to his family. Trump is so fascist that he wants to find ways to even deport some American citizens overseas. The Supreme Court's three liberals didn't dissent from the decision. They wrote separately to argue that the Trump administration's emergency appeal should have been denied in full. We know of the Japanese American National Museum refusing to whitewash its history from Trump's anti-DEI antics.

The 125% tariffs are still on China. 32 ambassadors and diplomatic missions' representatives arrived in Kryvyi Rih to honor the memories of the victims of Russia's strike on the city. The Russian missile strike killed 20 people, including nine children. Over 70 people were injured by the strike. While this is going on, Putin continues to commit war crimes against Ukraine killing innocent men, women, and children. It is part of hypocrisy for fake "liberals" to legitimately condemn the war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza but are silent on Putin's overt war crimes in Ukraine (after Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine in February of 2022). Putin is a far-right dictator who is funded by billionaire Russian oligarchs who seek not only tyranny against Russians (with Putin jailing journalists and dissidents without just cause in Russia now). Putin wants to expand his influence in Eastern Europe too. The White House is using Elon Musk's Starlink service which is a conflict of interest.

Some Senators raise insider trading questions around Trump's announcements. Trump could try to promote MAGA followers in economic positions of power. A trade war is something that we don't need. We have an interconnected economy where many items that we purchase in America come from other nations. A harsh trade war mixed with violations to American civil liberties in America, along with destroying governmental institutions, will lead to real hot wars, disasters, and total chaos in our world. We don't want chaos on this Earth. We want solutions. As many Trump critics have mentioned, Trump's economic policies represent the failed policies of Herbert Hoover and the fascist policies of Mussolini. One victory is that the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a victory against the evil DOGE agenda.


Tiffany Cross had a debate with Scott Jennings on CNN. In the debate, Jennings made a personal remark about Cross about her being fired. That was a cheap shot, but it isn't shocking. I watched Tiffany Cross for years on MSNBC. Her show was showing pro-black content and MSNBC fired her, because her content was too pro-black, too pro-freedom, too real, too much pro-solidarity with the oppressed (of every color and background), and too anti-fascist without apology. Yet, Joe Scarborough wants to glorify the imperialist and racist Winston Churchill. The only thing I agree with Churchill on is opposing Nazi fascists (that's it). Scarborough to this day supports the evil war crime of the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima (where over 100,000 men, women, and children were murdered). So, Tiffany Cross deserves great credit in exposing Trump's fascism and standing up to the condescending words from Jennings. Also, people who have been fired unjustly shouldn't be shamed. Being fired isn't the end of the world. It is just the beginning of a new opportunity in life. Cross told the truth that Trump is an imperialist for desiring to illegally annex Greenland and other lands. We all salute Sister Tiffany Cross's courage and outspoken words against the fascist, authoritarian Trump regime in 2025. That is why it is important to support independent black media and independent black voices who desire freedom and justice.

Van Lathan said that he disagreed with Kamala Harris saying I told you so to Trump voters. I disagree with Van Lathan for many reasons. One reason is that these voters are grown men and grown women. They are not babies. Far too often, some in the media and some other people want to baby Trump voters out of fear or for political correctness. I reject that notion. People must be told the honest truth about our political realities. Kamala Harris told the truth that I told you so, because Trump for years planned to do to America from deporting people without due process of law to trying to whitewash American history with his anti-DEI policies. From Trump calling Kamala Harris a slur of having low IQ to constantly targeting political opponents in illegal ways, Trump voters know full well what his agenda was. Yet, they voted for him, because some of them didn't want a black woman to be President, some believed in bigotry against minority groups, some believed in the lie that Trump was a populist figure, and some were just plain cult members of the MAGA movement. Trump signed an executive order to target Chris Krebs (who disagreed with Trump's lie that the 2020 election was stolen) and Miles Taylor. This is Trump's fascism, and Trump voters are complicit in this fascist regime today.
