- Congrats to him!!! Shameful indictment of the U.S.
- GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Sidestep Frustrations . . . “Let all bitterness and wrath and anger..be put away from you..” ~ Ephesians 4:31 ESV “To conquer frustration, one must remain intensely focused on the outcome, not the obstacles.” ~ T.F. Hodge
- “..it’s not my lane.” Guess that is one of the multitudes of equivalent phrases to “..just following orders” we will be hearing thru the years.😶
- So judges are being indicted now at the behest of the president who vowed “retribution”:
- IN. SUM:
- #FACT😶:
- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsWhen the President defies the courts, he crosses the line into tyranny—and when tyranny takes root, no one is safe. We have to stand up for our rights and for the rule of law—not just for Kilmar—but for the future of our democracy.
- Baltimore:
- Great article summarizing Trump’s abuses of office thus far Using a Frederick Douglass closing quote w/o evn once mentioning ways in which Trump’s white supremacist ideology negatively & specifically impacts Black populations is illustrative of how U.S. anti-Blackness is normalized to invisibility😶
- “He has repeatedly vowed to exact retribution agnst America’s justice system for what he falsely maintains was the ‘partisan weaponization’ of the federal gvrnmnt agnst him.” ALL THIS WAS KNOWN BEFORE THE ELECTION. Which makes the “sane-washing & whitewashing by media & others even more egregious.
- I wonder if they will go after the 650+ (acc to Hillel Internatl) scholarships specifically for Jewish students. Or scholarships specifically for non-Black poc Or if they are just focused on eliminating everything meant to alleviate gen harm inflicted on Black ppl by U.S. “for whites only” policies

- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsYou're going to have to stop pretending your concerns are religious 👇
- AND THIS👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽:
- "Ice has become Trump’s private militia. It must be abolished"😳 Now, THAT one sentence is the ENTIRE STORY.
- "Ice has become Trump’s private militia. It must be abolished" It's become fashionable for even progressive politicians to diss the 'Abolish ICE' movement. I make the political and moral case for abolition in my latest for @GuardianUS, with receipts: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- IN. SUM: “School segregation is a modern-day problem. It both creates & entrenches barriers to educational opportunities, economic mobility, & broader societal equality. The DOJ once sought desegregation orders in order to surmount those barriers. Trump’s [DOJ] is creating more obstacles instead.”
- “To watch these changes unfold without naming them for what they are is to participate in a collective amnesia about how knowledge infrastructures shape power relations..to lend legitimacy to a process that has been systematically delegitimized.” My POWERFUL Morning Read: time.com/7285045/resi...
- GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Speak Historical Truths . . . “Stop lying and start telling each other the truth.” ~ Ephesians 4:25 CEV “To say nothing is saying something. You must denounce things you are against or one might believe that you support things you really do not.” ~ Germany Kent
- Baltimore:
- “..we must recognize tht the resistance hs done effectve & impressve work..delaying & sometimes halting Trump’s most egregious plans. We shld be proud. It is important tht we reflect upon all tht hs been accomplished..& double down on our strengths” Morning Read: open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...
- Absolutely no qualifications as a librarian.😶 But “merit,” right! In Trump’s AmeriKKKa, “merit” = white.
- GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Be Supportive . . . “Whenever you possibly can, do good to those who need it.” ~ Proverbs 3:27 GNT “Every body should be given the chance & the necessary support to unearth their full potential.” ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
- “‘The cost of a retrofit like this would likely be..in the tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars,’said former Air Force acquisitions chief Andrew Hunter.” “..sweeping the aircraft for software modifications or embedded foreign tech..would cost tens of millions of dollars.” Where is DOGE?😶🤔🤔
- This is a #WhiteSupremacistNation. AND this is what the majority of white voters who voted, voted FOR.😶
- “‘In light of our church’s steadfast commitment to racial justice & reconciliation..we are not able to take this step,' the presiding bishop of the Episcopal Church said in a letter.” This👆🏽is what standing up for racial justice looks like: saying NO. religionnews.com/2025/05/12/e...
- AND. STILL. the majority of white voter who voted, voted FOR him. No other majority of any other racial group did. Racism WAS. NOT. a dealbreaker for the majority of white voters as it was for the majority of all other racial groups of voters. And that is #AmeriKKKa, with the white hood off.😶
- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsThe entire administration is a criminal enterprise!
- WE. KNEW.😶
- “The soil” being U.S. voters, in this case. The ones who voted him in office. Maj white. No other maj of any other racial group of voters did. Yet ppl are still fronting like this was not abt white supremacist ideology being reinstated as law of land even though that is what he campaigned on.😶
- “..an attorney general whose aligned PAC accepted a $25,000 donation frm Trump while deciding whether to prosecute Trump Univ for fraud as FL AG, has decided to permit Trump to accept a $400 million gift frm Qatar, a country she lobbied on behalf of to the tune of $115,000 per mth” My Evening Read:
- “Simply put, a foreign gvrnmnt is giving the President of the U.S. a personal gift worth $400 million. This isn't a state gift tht will remain gvrnmnt property; this is a gift tht will ultimately become Trump's personal property. This is the definition of foreign influence buying.” My Evening Read:

- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsMan would win gold in a lying olympics!
- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsTo the mamas who raised us, loved us, held it down—and still manage to fix everything with a hug: we see you, we love you, we thank you. Happy Mother’s Day to the real MVPs.
- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsIANAL, but I’m pretty sure that all the lawsuits challenging Trump’s grifting in office were all dismissed on issues of standing etc. So we’ve still never gotten a ruling on the merits, right? The justices who are owned by Harlan Crowe will resist it, but SCOTUS needs to be forced to address it.

- M. Obama got skewered 4 saying “For..1st time in my..lifetime, I am..proud of my country.” The context of remark ws ignored b/c white ppl wanted to disappear U.S. racial history NOW tht stuff might hit THEIR fams, comments abt being “ashamed” of U.S. actions hve relatable contxt Shame it took ths😶

- The maj of white voters who voted, voted FOR him. No other maj of any other racial grp of voters did.😶 He campaigned on doing everything he is doing now. But none of his white supremacist ideology campaign rhetoric was a dealbreaker for the maj of white voters. Hope history remembers that, too.😶

- Elmo is a 3 yr old monster w/ 45 yrs of experience, shaggy red fur, undetermined gender, a high falsetto voice—& no clothes😶 He would certainly be branded a “DEI hire” With businesses assisting this admin’s return to “for whites only” recruitment practices. . . Well, good luck job hunting, Elmo😶
- #ProudBlue How hard is it out there? Elmo's been laid off and is looking for a new opportunity! The administration called Sesame Street woke (www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...) and they've cut their finding. Let's have our funds go for Sesame Street, PBS, and education, not financing human trafficking.

- Reposted by AdarAyiraViewsThe gift is bad enough on its own, but can we talk about how insane it is to use a foreign-gifted jet as *Air Force One* Air Force One has a lot of capability that a luxury jet simply doesn’t, and that’s before we even consider the obvious spying/bugging/security concerns.
- Yup — 100% this:
- GOAL FOR THE DAY: To Give Thanks . . . “Her children stand & bless her” ~Proverbs 31:28 NLT “..because I am the woman she raised me to be, because in death I feel her presence surrounding & protecting me As Demetria’s Daughter I accept my legacy..” ~from “Demetria” A Adar Ayira #MothersDay
