The family of Nolan Wells, a Black teenager who was found dead after going missing on an island in Mississippi, made an emotional plea Friday for an honest, thorough investigation in a case that has captured national attention over its unanswered questions.

"We just want to know what happened and why our baby didn't come home," his mother Christine Wells-Wonsley said at a news conference with the Rev. Al Sharpton and noted civil rights attorney Ben Crump. [MORE]

It is not always easy for Black people to tell who is racist and who is not because racism is practiced primarily by deception. In the system of racism white supremacy most white people are racist - the system itself is proof of that. Deceit to Produce Confusion Among Non-Whites According to Dr. Blynd, race is an artificial "European" invention with real consequences. Race is not real but racism is. Race has been created to be wrongly confused with ethnic identity in order to establish the sense of "otherness" and dehumanization of melanated peoples around the globe. [MORE] It is also sold by racists to Blacks as “bigotry” or “hatred” to create more confusion and consequently cause the victims of it to solve the wrong problems. In reality, the gravamen of racism white supremacy is master-servant relations between whites and Blacks and the domination of Blacks by whites. It is a white over Black system. According to FUNKTIONARY

racist suspect - any white person who is capable of practicing racism against non-whites. In general, if a Caucasian is able to be a Racist (White Supremacist), he or she may be one and should be presumed to be racist. According to Neely Fuller, as long as white supremacy exists, every person classified as 'white' should be suspected of being Racist (White Supremacist). Since all whites are able to practice racism in a white supremacy system if they choose to do so, it is correct (and logical) to use the term "racist suspects" to identify whites who do not openly function as white supremacists (racists). Caucasians who do nothing to oppose white supremacy are its silent partners benefiting from this worldwide social political economic arrangement of domination. Those who do nothing about it or cooperate with it are also racist/white supremacist. Noted psychiatrist, Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, has stated, "people who classify themselves as White, who wish to be taken seriously, and who are righteous and responsible, will only talk about ending White Supremacy (Racism) and replacing it with Justice." (see: Justice)

Endearingly known as “Mother Khadijah” by Nation of Islam followers, she devoted more than seven decades to shaping one of the most prominent religious and political movements in the US, built on Black self-reliance.

According to FUNKTIONARY:

Declaration of Independence – a 1,300 word document purportedly signed on July 4, 1776. Independence (for one faction of African-enslaving Caucasians versus another) was resolved and the signing by the Second Continental Congress took place two days prior July 2, 1776. The document was first published in two Pennsylvania papers on July 3, 1776. Erect members of Congress voted on the Declaration on July 4, 1776, but it wasn't until July 8th that the document was proclaimed by being read publicly from the balcony of Independence Hall. The official title of the document is “The Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America,” with the word “Independence” occurring nowhere in the title. The Declaration of Independence is now widely known by those of African descent in Amerikka as the Fourth of Their Lie. The Declaration of Independence is a document declaring liberty written to encourage the overthrow of a government systematically and summarily violating the unalienable rights and liberties of those who empowered it into being. The State is always-only-ever a mask for other men.

The Social Contract is Mind Control. According to Michael Huemer:

“The social contract theory cannot account for political authority. The theory of an actual social contract fails because no state has provided reasonable means of opting out – means that do not require dissenters to assume large costs that the state has no independent right to impose. All modern states, in refusing to recognize explicit dissent, render their relationships with their citizens nonvoluntary. Most accounts of implicit consent fail, because nearly all citizens know that the government’s laws would be imposed upon them regardless of whether they performed the particular acts by which they allegedly communicate consent. In the case of those governments that deny any obligation to protect individual citizens, the contract theory fails for the additional reason that, if there ever was a social contract, the government has repudiated its central obligation under the contract, thereby releasing its citizens from the obligations they would have had under that contract.

The central moral premise of the traditional social contract theory is commendable: human interaction should be carried out, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. But the central factual premise flies in the face of reality: whatever else may be said about it, subjection to government is obviously not voluntary. In modern times every human being is born under this subjection and has no practical means of escaping it.” [MORE]

From [Lysander Spooner] The Constitution has no inherent authority or obligation. It has no authority or obligation at all, unless as a contract between man and man. And it does not so much as even purport to be a contract between persons now existing. It purports, at most, to be only a contract between persons living eighty years ago. [This essay was written in 1869.] And it can be supposed to have been a contract then only between persons who had already come to years of discretion, so as to be competent to make reasonable and obligatory contracts. Furthermore, we know, historically, that only a small portion even of the people then existing were consulted on the subject, or asked, or permitted to express either their consent or dissent in any formal manner. Those persons, if any, who did give their consent formally, are all dead now. Most of them have been dead forty, fifty, sixty, or seventy years. and the Constitution, so far as it was their contract, died with them . They had no natural power or right to make it obligatory upon their children. It is not only plainly impossible, in the nature of things, that they could bind their posterity, but they did not even attempt to bind them. That is to say, the instrument does not purport to be an agreement between any body but "the people" then existing; nor does it, either expressly or impliedly, assert any right, power, or disposition, on their part, to bind anybody but themselves. Let us see. Its language is:

We, the people of the United States (that is, the people then existing in the United States), in order to form a more perfect union, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

It is plain, in the first place, that this language, as an agreement , purports to be only what it at most really was, viz., a contract between the people then existing; and, of necessity, binding, as a contract, only upon those then existing. In the second place, the language neither expresses nor implies that they had any right or power, to bind their "posterity" to live under it. It does not say that their "posterity" will, shall, or must live under it. It only says, in effect, that their hopes and motives in adopting it were that it might prove useful to their posterity, as well as to themselves, by promoting their union, safety, tranquility, liberty, etc.

Suppose an agreement were entered into, in this form:

We, the people of Boston, agree to maintain a fort on Governor's Island, to protect ourselves and our posterity against invasion.

This agreement, as an agreement, would clearly bind nobody but the people then existing. Secondly, it would assert no right, power, or disposition, on their part, to compel their "posterity" to maintain such a fort. It would only indicate that the supposed welfare of their posterity was one of the motives that induced the original parties to enter into the agreement. [MORE]

The scale of destruction inflicted on the United States Navy’s Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain during Iran’s 2026 missile and drone campaign has triggered one of the most consequential reassessments of American forward military basing strategy in the Middle East since the 1991 Gulf War.

Previously undisclosed damage assessments revealed that repeated Iranian precision strikes between February and June severely degraded Naval Support Activity Bahrain, exposing critical vulnerabilities inside one of Washington’s most strategically important Indo-Pacific and Middle Eastern command-and-control hubs.

The revelations emerged after satellite imagery analysis, verified operational footage, and military assessments demonstrated that the Pentagon’s earlier public characterization of “minimal damage” significantly understated the operational and infrastructural impact of Iran’s long-range precision strike campaign.

Located roughly 240km south of Iran across the Persian Gulf, NSA Bahrain functions as the operational nerve center for the U.S. Fifth Fleet, supporting maritime security operations, carrier strike group logistics, anti-smuggling missions, mine countermeasure deployments, and strategic deterrence patrols throughout the Gulf region.

The base also serves as a critical communications and intelligence fusion node linking CENTCOM naval operations with U.S. forces operating across the Arabian Peninsula, Red Sea, Indian Ocean, and wider Indo-Pacific battlespace. [MORE]

Now, even turning nations into servants – nations that gain nothing from allowing the United States and Israel access to and use of their territories and facilities – no longer yields results.

America’s hollow hegemony has been shattered, and the sun of truth has emerged from behind the clouds of lies and staged victimhood media spectacles.

Under such conditions, increasing and repairing media budgets to conceal political and even security objectives, enhancing public relations, advertising, and cognitive operations are no longer merely figures in financial statements but signs of anxiety, defeat, and attempts to escape a deep crisis of legitimacy.

On one side, Israel, by approving an unprecedented budget for hasbara and public diplomacy, is effectively admitting that in the battle for public opinion, especially after the Gaza genocidal war and the aggression against Iran, it faces a serious fracture.

On the other side, propaganda networks such as “Iran International,” the symbol of Persian-language propaganda against Iran, gain meaning within a larger constellation of infiltration operations and perception management; a constellation in which media, lobbying, data, capital, and security are intertwined and wrapped in a veil of hollow claims.

What outwardly appears as “advertising” and “media” is in reality a new form of warfare: a war waged not on land, but in minds, social media feeds, and television frames. Yet the more intensely its flames rise, the more they consume their own creators. [MORE]

Wilfredo entered the U.S. three years ago with his mother. She has a work permit, and their asylum cases are pending. They have no other family in the U.S., and Gomez’s former employer has been looking after Wilfredo while he faces deportation hearings alone.

“I was nervous because it was my first time going to a court,” Wilfredo told Univision after his hearing. The DHS is seeking to deport him to Ecuador, a country where he knows no one and has never been.

Wilfredo is one of hundreds of thousands of children facing pending immigration cases without legal representation nationwide, according to federal immigration data. His case offers a rare glimpse into a system operating outside of public scrutiny. While technically open by law, immigration hearings for children are effectively blocked from public access.

A new analysis of federal immigration data, conducted by the Vera Institute of Justice in response to questions from Drop Site News, shows that children like Hoyos-Gomez are not an anomaly but part of a wider pattern. More than half of all children facing pending immigration cases are doing so without legal representation, according to data from the Department of Justice. The analysis shows that legal representation appears to be one of the most important factors shaping children’s outcomes in immigration court.

Of 751,861 children with pending removal cases, 57%—or 425,093 children—lacked legal representation, according to the most recent data. This rate is slightly higher than that of adults, 54% of whom are unrepresented in immigration court in pending cases. Nearly two thirds of children’s cases that are still pending were initiated by the federal government in 2023, under the Biden administration. The gap widens in completed cases. Last year, 64% of children’s completed immigration cases went forward without legal representation. [MORE]

DO YOU TRUST RACISTS TO PROPERLY EDUCATE YOUR CHILDREN? Nine minor students and a coalition of community groups on Wednesday filed a lawsuit against Massachusetts education officials, alleging the state’s school districting illegally segregates Black and Latino children into an inferior, “two-tiered” education system.

The complaint names the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education as defendants. The lawsuit alleges that the state’s practice of assigning students to schools based solely on where they live has effectively established racial and economic segregation across district lines, ultimately denying Black and Latino students the adequate and equal education guaranteed by the Massachusetts Constitution.

The lawsuit alleges a violation of the Education Clause under Chapter 5, Section 2 of the Massachusetts Constitution. This provision states:

Wisdom, and knowledge, as well as virtue, diffused generally among the body of the people, being necessary for the preservation of their rights and liberties; and as these depend on spreading the opportunities and advantages of education in the various parts of the country, and among the different orders of the people, it shall be the duty of legislatures and magistrates, in all future periods of this commonwealth, to cherish the interests of literature and the sciences

In the 1993 case McDuffy v. Secretary of Education, the Massachusetts Supreme Court interpreted the Education Clause to mandate a state duty to provide adequate education to all children, regardless of the wealth of their local community. The holding clarified the standard for “adequacy” in practical terms, requiring schools to equip students with communication skills, civic knowledge, and the academic or vocational preparation needed to compete with peers in other states. Wednesday’s lawsuit argues that the public education provided to students in segregated, high-poverty districts falls short of that standard, with these schools documenting “lower high school graduation and college attendance rates, higher suspension and chronic absenteeism rates, poorer SAT performance, and lower proficiency in Math and English.”

The lawsuit also alleges a violation under the state’s Equal Protection Clause. Article CVI of the Massachusetts Constitution provides that “equality under the law shall not be denied or abridged because of sex, race, color, creed or national origin.” The complaint argues that the state’s Supreme Court has held this protection to be even more robust than its federal counterpart under the Fourteenth Amendment of the US Constitution.

The plaintiffs assert that by knowingly maintaining district lines that concentrate Black and Latino students in high-poverty, underperforming schools, the state has denied these students equal access to the fundamental right of an adequate education on the basis of race. The lawsuit calls for the application of a strict scrutiny standard of judicial review, which means that the state would have the burden of proving its policies serve a compelling government interest through the least restrictive means available. 

The lawsuit asks for a court order declaring Massachusetts’ school district policies unconstitutional and mandating that state education officials develop an enforceable roadmap to address these shortcomings.

School segregation has a long history of litigation throughout the past century. After Brown v. Board of Education mandated desegregation in 1954, federal courts spent decades supervising integration orders. In the 2007 Supreme Court case Parents v. Seattle School District, voluntary race-conscious student assignment plans were struck down, effectively limiting school districts’ ability to use assignment by race as a tool to achieve integration. [MORE]

Although school segregation was ruled unconstitutional more than 70 years ago, educational outcomes and access to resources continue to vary significantly by race across the United States.

A 2025 study from Brown University found that school districts with lower percentages of Black and Hispanic students receive roughly $900 to $1,000 more per student in funding than districts serving larger shares of those populations. Researchers concluded that decades of school finance reforms have not fully eliminated racial funding gaps.

According to WalletHub, those disparities can contribute to differences in educational achievement and, ultimately, employment and income opportunities later in life.

"It is essential to ensure that all school districts receive sufficient funding, the latest technology and equal opportunities for tutoring and extracurricular activities, regardless of their racial composition," WalletHub analyst Chip Lupo said. "This will help bridge racial gaps in test scores and graduation rates and promote equal opportunities for higher education and employment."

To determine which states have the most racial equality in education, WalletHub compared all 50 states across six measures, including educational attainment, graduation rates and standardized test scores among Black and white residents.

New York ranked No. 44 overall, making it the seventh-worst state for racial equality in education, according to WalletHub. [MORE] and [MORE]

The ACLU of New Jersey is calling on state lawmakers to overhaul the state’s traffic code, arguing that police stops for minor violations like cracked windshields and expired inspections have little bearing on road safety but carry an outsized burden for Black and Hispanic drivers.

The ACLU of New Jersey released a report Tuesday urging the Legislature to restrict so-called non-safety traffic stops for technical infractions that the group says are statistically insignificant contributors to fatal crashes but routinely used as a pretext to investigate drivers for more serious offenses.

“New Jersey should leverage every tool at its disposal to protect its communities, and that includes promoting public safety by addressing dangerous driving,” said Lauren Aung, policy fellow at the ACLU-NJ. “Research has shown that if lawmakers modernize the traffic code and focus law enforcement resources on preventing accidents, lives are saved and racial disparities in traffic stop enforcement improve.”

The report, “New Jersey’s Road to Safety and Racial Justice: Reducing Non-Safety Traffic Stops,” draws on an analysis of more than six million state police traffic stops between January 2009 and May 2021 and makes specific recommendations for legislative action.

Lopsided numbers

Black drivers accounted for 18.8% of all stops during that period despite making up 8.2% of New Jersey drivers. They comprised 36.5% of all searches.

The disparity deepens for non-safety violations. For stops involving windshield obstruction and window tinting, Black drivers accounted for 28.1% of stops and 49.3% of searches, yet were less likely than white drivers to be found with contraband. The report describes the gap between how often drivers are searched and how often evidence is actually found as the “hit-to-search ratio.” For windshield violations, that figure was 0.26 for Black drivers compared to 0.29 for white drivers.

A separate 2023 report commissioned by the New Jersey Office of the Attorney General found that during daylight hours, when officers can more clearly see drivers, Black motorists were 9.3% more likely to be stopped than at night. Hispanic drivers were 16.1% more likely to be stopped. Black drivers were also 89.9% more likely to be searched than white drivers, but 9.7% less likely to be found with contraband.

The findings echo patterns documented elsewhere. In January, the state attorney general filed suit against Clark Township, alleging that police leadership had instructed officers to “keep Black people out of the Township” by targeting them with stops for minor violations. The lawsuit found that the practice created an environment so hostile that non-white residents avoided driving through the township altogether.

Roads and resources

Beyond racial equity concerns, the ACLU-NJ argues that non-safety stops are a poor use of police time.

Out of 11,750 vehicles involved in fatal crashes in New Jersey from 2010 to 2023, only 45 — less than half of 1% — had issues with lights, windows, mirrors, or windshields. By contrast, 22.8% of fatal crashes involved speeding, and 23.3% involved a distracted driver.

Contraband arrests from traffic stops are similarly rare. State police found contraband in just 0.76% of stops over the 12-year study period. [MORE]

San Diego police officers are using force more often in encounters with residents, even as the city’s crime rate declines, according to data obtained by Times of San Diego.

As use-of-force reports increase, the racial gap has widened over the past three years. SDPD officers are seven times more likely to use force on Black residents than on white residents, and nearly twice as likely to use force on Hispanic residents as on white people.

To analyze trends, Times of San Diego requested all police use‑of‑force reports from 2017 through 2025. During that period, reported use-of-force incidents rose, as did reports of officers facing violent encounters.

Because officers often report multiple types of force in a single incident — for example, completing a physical takedown and then deploying pepper spray on the same person — Times of San Diego removed duplicate entries so that each instance referred to a single encounter. Times of San Diego then filtered the incidents by race. To calculate rates, we obtained population data from the city, divided the number of incidents for each racial group by that group’s total population, and multiplied by 1,000 to achieve per‑capita rates.

After adjusting for population, Black residents make up just over 5% of San Diego’s population, while white residents comprise nearly 42%. Of the nearly 79,000 Black residents in San Diego, 17.4 out of every 1,000 had force used against them in 2025. That compares with 2.5 out of every 1,000 white people.

The 2025 rate of 17.4 use‑of‑force incidents per 1,000 Black residents was just below the peak of 17.9 per 1,000 people recorded in 2023.

It remains well above the 2017 level, when nearly 12 out of every 1,000 Black residents experienced police use of force.

While the use-of-force disparity is highest between Black and white people, the rate at which San Diego police used force on Hispanics also rose dramatically over the past nine years. In 2017, police reported 955 use-of-force incidents with Hispanics, which, when factoring in population, put the use-of-force ratio at 2.3 Hispanic people who had force used on them out of every 1,000 people – the same ratio that white residents experienced that year.

Of the 350 stops involving UC Berkeley affiliates from July 2024 to June 2025, 47 were Black campus community members. This means that 13.4% of total affiliate stops involved a group that represents only 5.1% of the UC Berkeley community.

Among all 2,289 stops in the data — campus students, staff and faculty and non-affiliates combined — the Black community accounts for 25.7% of stops, despite only representing 10.3% of Alameda County’s population.

“The figures cited reflect raw stop data but do not account for the broader population UCPD serves, including a significant number of non-affiliated individuals on an open campus and geographically dispersed UC properties located in the city of Berkeley, Albany, Emeryville, and Richmond,” UCPD said in a statement. “Comparing total stops to student demographics alone does not provide an accurate benchmark for assessing if there are disparities.”

However, comparing stops of UC Berkeley Black individuals to the UC Berkeley Black community alone shows that Black community members are stopped at nearly three times their share of the campus population.

This pattern is not exclusive to UC Berkeley’s campus. The Daily Bruin reported that Black people account for more than 24% of UCPD stops at UCLA despite making up only 6.7% of UCLA students and 5.3% of Westwood residents. [MORE]

African American studies professor Nikki Jones, who served as faculty co-chair of UC Berkeley’s first Independent Advisory Board on Police Accountability and Community Safety, said the numbers reflect a troubling but familiar dynamic.

“Black students are a very small segment of the population on campus,” Jones said. “When you see those kinds of stop numbers, one thing it shows you is that on campus, they are both invisible in some ways, and can be hypervisible (in others). The hypervisibility comes when they are seen by law enforcement as suspicious or suspect for doing nothing more than being near campus, or in a group together on campus.”

Fines and fees are used to penalize people who violate the law, recoup criminal legal system costs, and raise revenues for state and local governments. In 2024 nearly one in five working-age adults in the US reported their household had been charged a fine or fee that year (Boddupalli, Karpman et al. 2025).

Monetary sanctions through the criminal legal system have long been used to target Black individuals and families (Blackmon 2008). In the Jim Crow era, for example, Black people were convicted under weak pretexts, such as vagrancy or “speaking loudly in the presence of white women,” then charged penalties they could not afford (Williamson 2020, 7). For some, nonpayment resulted in forced labor, often en masse, in mines or brickmaking or turpentine factories.1

In this brief, we discuss how fines, fees, and the resulting debts are extracting income and savings from Black individuals and families, hindering their pursuit of financial security and upward economic mobility. We also outline some policy solutions that can mitigate the harms of fines and fees and improve outcomes for all.

Fines and Fees Disproportionately Burden Black Families

The Urban Institute’s national Well-Being and Basic Needs Survey (WBNS) shows that in 2024, Black adults faced any fines and fees at higher rates than others (figure 1). That year, 24 percent of Black working-age adults said someone in their household had been assessed or owed a fine or fee, compared with 18 percent of White adults. Black adults were also twice as likely as White adults to report having been assessed court- or incarceration- related costs, in particular, which often carry larger financial burdens and severe consequences for nonpayment.

The great Neely Fuller explained that racism white supremacy is maintained through deception and violence. He explained, ‘The use of lies in a skillful, scientific and masterful manner is the basis method that racists (white supremacists) use to confuse and subjugate non-white people.’ Among other things, elite racists have induced and indoctrinated Black people to misunderstand their role in retail politics and misperceive the motivations of elite racists – much like a salmon tricked by a bear.

In reality YT Runs both political parties to benefit YT. Robert Smith observed that since the Kennedy-Johnson administrations both parties have acted out a symbolic, political theater for sleeping Toms (and others not relevant here) to indulge in. The critical event was the Kennedy-Johnson administrations embrace of the civil rights cause. Although the civil rights act had bi-partisan support, both parties used the occasion to symbolically draw their man made, racial political borders. In this performance, Republicans play the party of racial reaction and the role of “the white party” or the party of the racist whites. In contrast, Democrats play the role of racial liberalism and are ‘the party for the Blacks’ while taking Blacks for granted, engaging meaningless symbolic politics and delivering nothing tangible to Black people or their communities in exchange for the millions of votes it receives. An army of thousands of elected and appointed rolebots at all levels of government in the US are not engaged in any “black politics” and have no; “black political philosophy,” “Black agenda” or black messaging or organizing aimed at solving the myriad of problems plaguing Black communities, no explanation to account for the system of racism white supremacy and provide no tangible response to the 2nd class citizenship imposed on law abiding Black people by authority in all Black communities. Black democrat puppeticians, in particular, have non-white skin and black chromosomes but for all non-cosmetic purposes they are interchangeable with their white liberal counterparts; looking and sounding different from them but reading from the same script. As such, in this retail politics theater both parties ignore Black people’s principal policy concerns as if they were non-existent.

At this point the gullible Black votary’s response has been pathological. It dogmatically votes and supports liberal causes by default as it is no longer concerned with whether its politics function to solve Black problems; it just robotically votes against republicans. “Blackness” and “black politics” has dogmatically come to mean ‘not Republican’ and not much else. Despite the fact that white liberals are not black people and therefore not subject to the system of white supremacy, sleeping toms believe they have interchangeable political interests with elite white liberals. Baked into this clogic is the ignorant, unchallenged presumption that white liberals are “pro-black,” not racist. Black politics, once meticulously and ingeniously organized has gone from being aggressively results oriented to being tame activity channelled into voting for the Democratic Party and its grimacing white liberal and black borg candidates.

However, after 40-50 years of voting for elite white liberals and their causes, reality should be omnipresent for sleeping toms. A substantial majority of Black people reside in jurisdictions that have been controlled by elite white liberals for decades now – areas where Blacks indisputably live an empirically demonstrable and an unchanging 2nd class existence, despite their loyalty to the democratic party. Despite the unjust emergency problems that are particularly unique to the Black community, democrats have no Black agenda and historically never have had one.

Led by elite white liberals black people remain in a state of checkmate. According to the Urban League’s 2022 State of Black America, Black people haven’t progressed since 1965. Blacks are about three-fifths along the way to experiencing equal status with White Americans. The Black-White disparity persists across virtually every line or indicator of life and quality of life in the United States. Black people occupy the bottom of nearly every statistical category of life. [MORE] Nearly two thirds of all Black households cannot afford basic necessities of life, juggle bills, are overburdened by rent and are underemployed in McJobs. US Census data reveals that the unemployment gap between whites and blacks is virtually unchanged over the last 50 years. The income and wealth gaps have actually widened. So has the gap in educational attainment. The jobless rate among African-Americans has remained double to whites for over 5 decades. Among other things, according a to a NY Times analysis the race gap in higher education has also widened. The median Black household income was $43,862 versus $63,823 for Whites. Blacks continually trail Whites in homeownership, the traditional path to wealth building in the country, and their homes were valued less than Whites.

Black sheeple filled with anxiety are running around worrying about voting “rights” - yet over the past 40-50 years electing white liberals and voting for their causes and “black” rolebots has done nothing to neutralize the system of racism white supremacy. Is it MAGA republicans or elected, elite liberal authorities who are overcharging Blacks with crimes and then cramming them into jails in NYC, Milwaukee, Chicago, Columbus, Minnesota, Washington D.C., Philadelphia, Oakland, Atlanta, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit, New Orleans and elsewhere? Are republican prosecutors and judges removing all Blacks from the juries in such places? Who is it that maintains the jails in reprehensible conditions in LA, DC, Atlanta and NYC, etc.? Dumbocrats often make campaign promises about police accountability - yet the police departments in numerous cities historically controlled by white liberal politics such as NYC, LA, Cleveland, Oakland, San Francisco, St. Louis, Wash DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Detroit and many others are some of the worst violators and have hosted some of the most horrific episodes of police brutality. In liberal jurisdictions, Black people’s so-called “rights” are tuned on and off like light switches where police surveil, stop, detain and search law abiding Black people’s clothing, their cars and generally interfere with their freedom of movement as they attempt to go about their daily lives. In such liberal places cops have mauled, injured and put thousands of Black people into greater confinement and also murdered hundreds of other Black and Brown people with impunity. [MORE]

In no way is BW endorsing the GOP or the activity of voting itself – the point is that YT runs both political parties for the benefit of elite whites; it is a bi-partisan system of white domination. Dr. Amos Wilson explained, ‘elite white liberal media is ever quick to remind the Black electorant of the historical struggles necessary to achieve their right to vote. It indicts the community for its electoral apathy and seeks to evoke guilt feelings in those who do not participate in the electoral process — making such ritualistic participation emblematic of democracy and first-class citizenship.’ Importantly though, “This is of special interest when it is realized that very few, if any, of the major political, economic and social goals achieved by Black America, including the Voting Rights Act, were accomplished through Black voting prowess. The ballot box has been a relatively impotent weapon in the achievement of major victories by the Black community. Suddenly vigorous protest and direct-action legal suits and extralegal processes such as boycotts, sit-ins, and the like, which were used so effectively by the community to achieve its sociopolitical ends and to fight injustice and oppression, have fallen far behind the election of Black politicians to achieve the same ends.” The 2 party theater is a delusion for your mind that distracts Black people from handling their most pressing business; to neutralize and/or destroy the system of racism white supremacy – the system responsible for most of its problems.

A false reality used to create fake relations among deluded people and false consciousness programming to further enslave the Black mind. Similar to the ongoing NBA psy-op in which LeMedia insists that the viewer is witnessing greatness while watching the obvious mediocrity of Lebron James (or more recently the goofy, poor play of ‘WimpyYawna’), YT conceals the true context in which Black people live in, telling lies to your vision and distorting your perception of reality.

According to Dr. Amos Wilson, "It is the White monopoly on psychic violence and their devastatingly ingenious use of it against the minds of Afrikan peoples which represent the greatest threat to Afrikan survival. Through unrelenting psy-ops elite racists have programmed Black people with a falsified Afrikan consciousness.” Maintaining the Black mind in a state of political quiescence to their very low social status and 2nd class citizenship is a political necessity for elite racists.

According to FUNKTIONARY:

The Spectacle – a constructed reality; the concrete inversion of life; via the autonomous movement of the apparently non-living. 2) the mirrorization of the noumenon into the phenomenal universe without understanding or overstanding it as such an objectivization in duality. The Spectacle is not a collection of images but a social relation among people mediated by images. The Spectacle is a theoretical construct—a tool for explaining many things about society; how people live vicariously through the dominant images of production, consumption and power relations. It is the thoughtforms in which people create, contemplate and consume mediated by images of what-life-is, so that they will forget how to live radically for themselves. It is the totality of images and illusions that alienate people from living, its the primary production of modern societies. It is ideology materialized. It is the social relations that are mediated by the mass media; it is what makes people apathetic and reduces them to inactivity. It is what prevents people from realizing what their collective problems are and dissolving them. It is what perpetually absorbs people into activities that prolong their misery. It is the mediated stream of unreality that channels desire-energy against itself, producing a separate world, a pseudo-world apart form one’s self-history—from all those powerful institutions of Self-actualization. It is what motivates people to live a pseudo-life in submission to products and machines, basking passively in the acceptance of oppression, to blindly do what is manifestly against their own self-interest, to pollute the land they love and the air they breathe—it is a fundamental sickness of modern societies superimposed over and aided by the “Rolebots” (clones and drones) of Corporate State. It is the mass media and the propaganda from the pure war machine and the military prison industrial police state complex. It is Doggy, the double-bind of not knowing real from unreal, (hypereal) or what you say from what you want. It is the mass objectivization and unholy marriage (union) of the Beasthood with the Syndrome, leaving people fragmented, separated, isolated, alienated, fascinated, pixelated, dilated, intimidated, exasperated, mediated, concatenated, weak, docile, dependent, submissive and uncritical. “The Spectacle is the ultimate commodity in that it makes all others possible.” ~Scott Bukatman. “Without the slightest hint of suppression or intolerance, the spectacle ensures that the appearance of real dissent precludes its real appearance.” ~Sadie Plant.

In Reality Federal Authorities Keep the Poverty Line Artificially Low ($15,060 for 1 adult in 2024) to Conceal at Least 36 Million Households who Earn Too Much to Qualify for Welfare and Not Enough to Afford the Basics. United Way of Connecticut President Tepper Bates doesn’t mince words: “The federal poverty line is garbage.”

Although the Census Bureau raises the poverty line each year in step with the Labor Department’s consumer-price index, some poverty experts say the underlying math doesn’t reflect many financial realities. The core assumption that families spend a third of their total income on food, they say, is inconsistent with the fact that on average, housing consumes the largest share of household budgets. And the metric doesn’t adjust for differences in the cost of living across the U.S., which hurts residents of high-cost states such as Connecticut. 

The Census Bureau released its own supplemental poverty measure in 2011 that provides a more nuanced calculation. The official poverty line of $15,060 for one adult in 2024, however, remains the baseline for determining most public assistance. Among the benefits: Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and the National School Lunch Program. [MORE]

The United Way has created a more accurate way to measure financial hardship called ALICE. Their 2026 annual report indicates the following about the reality that an overwhelming number of Black people face:

Definitions used by the United Way to measure “financial hardship:”

ALICE: Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed — households with income above the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) but less than the basic cost of living in their county 

ALICE Household Survival Budget: Reflects the minimum costs of household necessities (housing, child care, food, transportation, health care, and technology) plus taxes, adjusted for all U.S. counties and various household compositions 

ALICE Threshold: Derived from the Household Survival Budget, the minimum average income that a household needs to afford basic costs, calculated for all U.S. counties 

Below ALICE Threshold: Includes households in poverty and ALICE households combined 

ALICE demographics: There were households below the ALICE Threshold across all Census-reported demographic groups in the U.S. in 2024. And in every state, some populations — by age, race/ethnicity, family type, and location — experienced higher levels of financial hardship. This reflects both longstanding and ongoing policies and discriminatory practices in areas of work, housing, education, and access to community resources that limit financial stability for many families. In 2024, the groups with the highest percentage of households below the Threshold included households headed by people under age 25 (67%) or age 65 and older (50%); Black households (58%), American Indian/Alaska Native households (54%), and Hispanic households (52%); single-parent-headed households (74% single-female-headed, 56% single-male-headed); and households in rural areas (43%). 

Households by race/ethnicity: Rates of financial hardship differed substantially by race/ethnicity in the U.S. In 2024: 

z The largest number of households below the ALICE Threshold were White (30 million), making up 36% of all White households. 

z Hispanic and Black households were the next largest groups – there were 10 million Hispanic households below the Threshold (making up 52% of all Hispanic households) and 9.1 million Black households below the Threshold (making up 58% of all Black households). 

z There were 6 million households headed by someone of Two or More Races below the Threshold, making up 47% of all households of Two or More Races. Other, smaller groups also had high rates of hardship: 54% of American Indian/ Alaska Native households and 47% of Native Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander households were below the Threshold. 

z Asian households had the lowest rate of financial hardship (35%). [MORE]

Adrian Boafo, a Prince George’s County state delegate, secured the Democratic nomination for Maryland’s 5th Congressional District in June 2026 by leveraging significant pro-Israel financial support. His campaign was heavily bolstered by the United Democracy Project (AIPAC’s super PAC) and the Protect Progress super PAC, which spent over $10 million combined to elevate the hand-picked successor of retiring Rep. Steny Hoyer.

While national focus has been on the pro-Israel money being spent in New York’s primary contests, AIPAC and crypto interests have combined to drop some $12 million so far backing Boafo, a spending binge highlighted by the Washington Post in an article that could prove damaging.

Hoyer's decision to back Boafo transformed the race immediately. The endorsement came on January 23, just weeks after Hoyer announced in early January that he would not seek re-election. Hoyer's political machinery mobilized directly on Boafo's behalf, beginning with direct contributions from his campaign committee and leadership PAC. Hoyer's campaign committee contributed $4,000 directly to Boafo in early contributions, while his AMERIPAC leadership PAC added $10,000 and spent spent $500,000 in independent expenditures on Boafo's behalf in April. But the real power of the Hoyer endorsement lay in what it unlocked among outside groups.

The endorsement also reflected Hoyer's longstanding legislative priorities. Hoyer had been the chief House sponsor of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and served as a ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee Financial Services and General Government Subcommittee. He has been a champion for federal workers, education spending, and Washington area interests. Boafo, as Hoyer's chosen successor, inherited a mantle of establishment backing.

The Outside Spending Explosion

Total outside spending on Adrian Boafo's behalf exceeded $8 million as of June 12. This figure dwarfed spending on any other candidate in the race and represented one of the most concentrated efforts by national interest groups in a single House primary.

The spending came from distinct coalitions with different ideological and economic interests. Protect Progress, the crypto industry super PAC and Democratic arm of Fairshake, spent approximately $1.9 million on Adrian Boafo in the final two weeks before the primary. Approximately $4.8 million of the $8 million-plus outside spending on Adrian Boafo comes from Protect Progress alone. Protect Progress had spent $15.8 million across nearly a dozen Democratic primaries nationally, making the Maryland race a major focus for the cryptocurrency industry.

The pro-Israel community also mobilized heavily. United Democracy Project, AIPAC's affiliated super PAC, spent approximately $1.5 million backing Adrian Boafo in the final two weeks before the primary, while spending $11.6 million nationally across Democratic primaries. Democratic Majority for Israel PAC was also active in the race backing Boafo. In addition, Project 218 super PAC spent $250,000 for Boafo, and Rolling Sea Action Fund spent $250,000 for this candidate. [MORE]

Dubbed “AIPAC Adrian” in a rap song released recently in the district by Progressive Maryland, Boafo is a former aide to Rep. Steny Hoyer, who for decades was one of Israel’s most outspoken advocates in Congress and the lead organizer of a biannual congressional delegation to the country, funded by AIPAC.

Oracle was founded by Larry Ellison, one of the richest men in the world and the owner, along with his son, of CBS, CNN, TikTok, and many other media properties. While Hoyer aide Boafo went on to work for Ellison, another longtime lieutenant, Brian Romick, has become a prominent figure in the pro-Israel advocacy world. After nearly three decades on Hoyer’s staff he became president and CEO of Democratic Majority for Israel PAC, which is backing Boafo.

Boafo, a former Maryland state delegate, worked as Hoyer’s campaign manager from 2019 to 2021. Since 2021, Boafo has served as senior director of government affairs for the tech giant Oracle, whose chairman Ellison is the largest donor to Friends of the IDF, a nonprofit that raises money to send aid and medical supplies to the Israel Defense Forces. Oracle and Ellison have donated millions to the organization, including $10 million in 2014 and $16.6 million in 2017. During Boafo’s tenure, Oracle’s business with Israel included establishing a $319 million data center in Jerusalem, a four-year project with the Israeli Air Force, and a partnership with the Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems.

In a public conversation with Progressive Maryland Executive Director Larry Stafford—who wrote the lyrics to “AIPAC Adrian”—Boafo denied ever having lobbied for data centers, while declining to call Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide. His claim on data center lobbying is contradicted by his own 2026 lobbying filings. Progressive Maryland has endorsed Blegay. [MORE]

Eleven-year-old Ahmed Al-Raqab was playing outside his family tent pitched on Gaza’s sandy coastline in Al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis, on Wednesday when the Israeli missile struck, killing him and severely wounding several others.

“The children were playing and they fired a missile directly on them,” Ahmed’s father, Sabri Al-Raqab, said, sobbing as he knelt on the floor of Nasser hospital with his arms across his son’s dead body in a final embrace. “He was carrying a watermelon. What was this child’s crime? He picked up a watermelon and they fired at him. Is he a fighter? He’s not a fighter. He’s a child.”

Overcome with grief, Al-Raqab buried his face into his son’s, which was caked with blood, and wept uncontrollably. In a nearby room, a six year old child wounded in the same attack screamed in pain as blood from a gaping wound in his right eye covered his cheek and ear. He was carried into the hospital in the arms of a teenage relative who laid him down shouting, “Come attend to this boy. We are losing the boy, we are losing him.”

The child’s grandfather, Ahmed Al-Jarjawi, stood nearby, the front of his jalabiya stained deep red with blood. “We were just sitting and the strike landed next to the our tent and hit three other tents,” Ahmed Al-Jarjawi told Drop Site News. “This child lost his eye. I was wounded here,” he said pointing to his chest. “My son’s wife was also wounded in the upper part of her leg.” [MORE]

The report, authored by the U.N. Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, follows a previous finding in September that Israel’s actions in Gaza constituted genocide.

“The deliberate targeting of children is one of the key elements establishing genocidal intent of the Israeli authorities and security forces to destroy the Palestinian group, in whole or in part, in Gaza,” the commission said on Tuesday.

Between the start of Israel’s military campaign in October 2023 and the “ceasefire” agreement in October 2025, the report found that more than 20,000 children were killed, while more than 44,000 were injured. Among those killed, more than 5,000 were under the age of 5, more than 1,000 were under the age of 1, and more than 400 were newborn babies.

The report highlights documented instances in which Israeli forces directly fired upon children, with medical professionals testifying that they treated kids with “direct gunshot and sniper wounds, often to the head and abdomen.”

One sample of 168 children killed by gunshots found that 73 were shot in the head and 22 were shot in the chest, which the commission argued was evidence of intentionality. [MORE]

“There were multiple engagements at the embassy in Haiti, in which we received and returned fire,” Col. Tom “Banshee” Trimble said on Tuesday. Trimble served as commanding officer of the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable), which recently returned to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, after a 10-month deployment. 

During that time, Marines with the unit were dispatched to Haiti from August to December 2025 to protect the U.S. embassy amid growing violence from criminal gangs, which are estimated to control up to 90% of the country’s capital city, Port-au-Prince.

A Marine Corps spokesman confirmed in November that Marines helping to secure the embassy returned fire after being shot at by “suspected gang members.” [MORE]

The Charlie Kirk Show is now distributed by a federally registered agent of Israel tasked with seeding American media with Zionist propaganda. It is part of a whopping $46 million dollar annual contract between the Israeli government and Brad Parscale, the former chief of staff for Donald Trump’s 2020 presidential campaign. This may be the largest lobbying contract in the history of foreign influence operations in the US.

On September 10, 2025, Kirk was assassinated during the first stop on his American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley State University. Eight days later, Parscale registered as a foreign agent of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, assuming responsibility for a propaganda blitz “tailored to Gen Z audiences across platforms, including TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, podcasts, and other relevant digital and broadcast outlets.” [MORE]
