Afrikaners claiming refugee status is part of a legacy of U.S. anti-Black immigration policy that began with Haitian Independence

Article about white south African refugees

This week President Trump and his regime are welcoming Afrikaners - white South Africans who are part of an ethnic group that facilitated legal discriminatory violence against their Black and Indian counterparts for decades – into the U.S. as refugees. To many, it may seem odd – if not downright ridiculous – to classify full citizens of a first-world country in this way despite their having lived comfortable lives without the threat of persecution, war, or violence. Odd or not, it’s on-par with U.S. immigration policy since the eighteenth century.  

Speak out for the Monarch Butterfly

Monarch butterfly

The Monarch Butterfly is one of the most iconic species in North America. Each year, these remarkable creatures migrate from Canada and across the U.S. to gather by the thousands in overwintering forests of central Mexico and coastal California. However, Monarch numbers in North America continue to decline. We have the opportunity to protect these dear pollinators.

Africa’s Lost White Tribe

    ‘White farmers are being brutally killed in South Africa’ warned President Donald this week amid all the uproar and craziness over tariffs, world trade and kickoff of a campaign to force Big Pharma to lower its prices to consumers.
    Why would Trump target South Africa? First, because South Africa dared accuse Israel’s far right government of genocide and war crimes in its savage repression of Gaza’s Palestinians. An estimated 55,000 Palestinians, the majority women and children, have been killed by Israel in Gaza.

Marching Backwards? 60 years after Bloody Sunday

This March, we commemorated the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, when voting rights leader John Lewis of the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee was beaten nearly to death by cops and Klansmen on the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Alabama.  

The youngest marcher, Lynda Blackmon Lowery, was beaten so badly she was put in a hearse to take to the morgue.

But when the unconscious Lynda woke up in the hearse, she jumped up, ran out, and ran straight across the bridge into the teargas and Klansmen.

Only in Gaza, children write their will!

Since the blockade began, humanitarian organizations like UNICEF have warned that children are at an increasing risk of starvation, illness, and death. Over 9,000 children have been admitted for treatment for acute malnutrition since the start of the year, highlighting the urgent need for food and medical assistance. The blockade has been described as a "silent killer," with families resorting to sharing minimal food supplies, such as a single can of beans among several members of one family according to Al Jazeera report.
 
Personal stories from families in Gaza illustrate the heartbreaking reality of this crisis. For instance, a mother described her five-year-old son, who has become emaciated and is suffering from severe malnutrition, stating that he hasn't eaten meat in months due to the unaffordability of food.

A Case Study in Deadly Force as a divided community tries to make sense of two tragedies

Black man surrounded by white cops

On May 1, 2025, 18-year-old Ryan Hinton was fatally shot by a Cincinnati police officer in East Price Hill. This tragedy highlights the controversial legal doctrine of qualified immunity that often protects officers from accountability, acting as a veritable “get out of jail free card” in cases of alleged misconduct. 

Meanwhile, the community grapples with the aftermath of two connected tragedies: Hinton’s shooting and the subsequent death of Hamilton County Sheriff’s Deputy Larry Henderson, struck and killed by Hinton’s father, Rodney Hinton Jr., the following day. While Rodney Hinton faces charges of aggravated murder, his actions are described as those of a grieving father distraught after watching footage of his son’s death.
