Trump signs EO directing creation of a national voter list

It’s been a busy week in court for Trump:  a federal judge said the ending of PBS/NPR funding was unconstitutional. Another Judge ordered him to halt construction on the White House Ballroom. Yet another Judge ruled that the Trump administration must restore legal status for thousands of detained/deported immigrants. 

 

In addition, the Supreme Court heard arguments from the Trump administration this week to end birthright citizenship, the automatic granting of US citizenship to anyone born in the USA. Their argument centers around the 14th amendment, which was originally created to guarantee citizenship for formally enslaved African Americans. 

 

What do we do when our favorite artists show conservative? Chilli, from the legendary girl-group TLC, was outed recently for donating to Republicans. She’s denied being “MAGA” but her online activity shows otherwise. How do we hold Black artists like her, Nick Cannon, Usher, 50 Cent, and others accountable without discounting what their work means to us?
