The renewed strict registration requirement forces U.S. citizens to carry birth certificates or other proof of citizenship at all times, “especially if they have a ‘foreign appearance,’ People who are valid residents or visa holders could potentially be profiled based on factors other than physical characteristics
Does the arresting officer ask this question at EACH and EVERY traffic stop? If not, this is #profiling and #racial #discrimination. That's #illegal. This officer should be facing #civil #rights violation charges. Meanwhile, keep the pressure on. Highlight every #detention. Get the #press involved. Shine a #light on these #wrong #arrests.

The result is an uneasy coalition cracking under the weight of exclusion and #racial resentment. Online #racism targeting #Indians neatly highlights this growing rift, as #whitenationalist priorities increasingly clash with the global ambitions of #indian migrants.

#Trump Lay off all #Federal Employees in #DEI Offices Immediately

The #systematic #Racial #Religious and #Sexual #Discrimination

who voted for him.
a BIG "fuck you all" now that he is in power
#Fascism.
BTW ... You had been warned that it would happen.
During the #racial #laws
both in #Germany and in #Italy
(unfortunately not many due to fear)
decent good people
helped the persecuted #Jews as best they could.

Sometimes
to do the right thing
can be risky or difficult
but a good person
CANNOT avoid doing it.
Trump’s dismantling of #EEOC and #CivilRightsAct #enforcement will have #chillingeffects for #Black #workers.
"These are all things meant to put #Black people and other #peopleofcolor back into a #racial #castesystem where #discrimination against them was #legal," Dr. #AlvinTillery tells #theGrio.
