Good morning…let’s just get get to it…

And as if this would be a surprise to no one:

As @jamellebouie.net has been saying, they are absolutely trying to bring back segregation.

Read the EO here:

Trump’s executive order is a major step backward for civil rights in America. Let’s break it down: it eliminates a key protection called “disparate impact,” which has been used for decades to fight discrimination in schools, housing, and other areas.

That matters because many forms of discrimination today are subtle and hidden in data. By ending this protection, the government is making it much harder to prove discrimination unless someone openly admits to it.

This move also cancels rules that warned schools not to unfairly discipline students based on race. Bottom line: this order makes it easier for systems to quietly keep treating people unfairly while pretending everything is equal. That’s not justice it’s a cover-up.

    There’s a Trump press conference with the Minister of Norway. It’s so embarrassing for us. Everybody else is wrong but him! The poor Minister is trying to be civil and polite but you can see the distress in his eyes. Trump just said that he though Norway could pay more in tariffs to the US because they have a trade surplus. He knows absolutely nothing about which he speaks.

    He’s evil and stupid!

    JUST IN:—Russia's Dmitry Medvedev says"Russia's new nuclear doctrine means NATO missiles fired against our country could be deemed an attack by the bloc on Russia. Russia could retaliate with WMD against Kiev and key NATO facilities, wherever they're located. That means World War III."
