The United States Department of Education announced on February 17 that it was opening an investigation into Portland Public Schools (PPS) over a complaint that the district’s Center for Black Student Excellence (CBSE) violates the federal Civil Rights Act. The Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating a complaint filed in December, alleging the CBSE violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which banned discrimination based on race, color, or national origin in education programs and activities that receive federal funding. According to Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey: “Civil rights law—and basic fairness—demand that...

A hyperwoke former Vogue editor proudly announced that she self-downgraded from first class on a flight to Milan to avoid a cabin filled with white men. Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, 34, made the declaration on her Threads profile Tuesday evening. The Brooklyn-based journalist wrote: 'I just downgraded myself from first class to business class on my flight to Milan. 'In a cabin of six, five of the passengers were white middle-aged men... then there was me, a 30-something black woman who travels in that cabin often, and a male flight attendant who thought I'd be okay with substandard service and persistent micro-aggression...

Federal lawsuit charges beverage company with excluding male employees from an employer-sponsored event based on sex BOSTON – Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast, Inc., a producer, seller and distributor of Coca-Cola brand products throughout the Northeast United States, violated federal law when it excluded male employees from an employer-sponsored event, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today. According to the EEOC’s lawsuit, in September 2024, Bedford, N.H.-headquartered Coca-Cola Northeast held a two-day employer-sponsored trip and networking event at the Mohegan Sun Casino and Resort in Connecticut. Coca-Cola Northeast privately invited female employees and then excused the...

On the field, Super Bowl LX looked a lot like the last time the Seattle Seahawks won the NFL championship. Indeed, Sunday’s 29-13 win over the New England Patriots called to mind Seattle’s 43-8 drubbing of the Denver Broncos in early 2014, when the Seahawks’ defense smothered an overmatched opponent in a game that never really had a competitive phase. How fitting, therefore, that the real estate company Redfin — much to the chagrin of users on the social media platform X — gave Super Bowl viewers a commercial reminiscent of the race-mongering of President Barack Obama’s years, albeit with...

Former Border Patrol Commander Gregory K. Bovino was reportedly “asked to leave” a bar in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to a recent report. The Bottled Blonde confirmed to The Daily Beast that while the bar “does not engage in political activity or affiliations,” Bovino was asked to leave the business after they became “aware of the individual’s presence.” While at the bar on January 30, Bovino was “photographed drinking red wine and laughing with a group of male acolytes.” “Upon becoming aware of the individual’s presence, the patron was asked to leave the premises and was escorted out by staff...

A newly proposed bill would bar ICE employees who worked for the agency under the Trump administration from becoming teachers or police officers in California as hostility toward immigration agents continues to simmer. Assembly Bill 1627, introduced this week by Democratic Assemblymember Anamarie Ávila Farias, would permanently disqualify anyone currently working for the agency from holding any position as a law enforcement officer for state or local police agencies statewide, KTVU first reported. If passed, it would also prohibit current ICE employees from virtually any role in education in the state, including educators or administrators, from kindergarten all the way...

SACRAMENTO, Calif. - A Bay Area lawmaker has introduced a bill that would disqualify someone from being a teacher or police officer if they worked for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration.

New York Police Department (NYPD) detectives were mistaken for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and reportedly treated rudely by hospital staff as they were seeking medical attention for wounds incurred in the line of duty. The detectives reportedly checked into the NYU Langone/Cobble Hill Hospital in Brooklyn following a violent altercation with a drug suspect. “[Hospital staff] were nasty to the officers in the waiting room, accused them of being ICE and suggested they go elsewhere,” one source told the New York Post. “They properly identified themselves,” another source said. “It’s despicable to attempt to deny care or suggest...

Former First Lady Michelle Obama has urged people to be “mindful” when buying from white-owned clothing brands. During a recent interview clip circulating on social media, Obama says she actively tries to buy clothes from people of “color” in order to “make it a point.” Last year, she claimed that Americans did not show her and her family “grace” because of their skin color, despite the fact her husband was elected in a landslide.

NEW: “Due to heightened public safety concerns in St. Paul, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily close our hotel…” Several hotels are now closing in the Twin Cities because of safety concerns—The Double Tree downtown St. Paul sliding this notification under the door of some guests. I called the hotel and they are indeed closing today. Sources tell me government employees had to leave by noon today, but other guests were allowed to stay through their reservation. It is a franchised owned by SP Hotels—I have reached out to the company and Hilton as well. I have not...

The Louvre museum in the French capital, Paris, is hiking its ticket prices for most non-European visitors by 45 per cent. The famous institution was the scene last year of a daring heist which saw robbers get away with jewels worth over a $100 million dollars, blamed in part on its deteriorating state. "I want visitors from outside the EU to pay more … and for that surcharge to go towards funding the renovation of our national heritage," Culture Minister Rachida Dati said announcing the hikes in 2024. But France’s decision to increase entry costs to the help fund much-needed...

(WMC) - Conflict between law enforcement and activists erupted outside an Orange Mound restaurant Sunday evening after a group of National Guard members was asked to leave the property. The Memphis Police Department was at the scene Sunday night, along with dozens of Memphis Safe Task Force members, outside Da Sammich Spot on Park Avenue, which has a posted sign banning ICE agents.

Mamdani Official: “Impoverish the White Middle Class. "Private property is a weapon of white supremacy". January 6, 2026. By Daniel Greenfield. There’s no floor. No such thing as too much. Leftist politics is an endless drop shaft and as a society free falls into it, it passes gulags, generational ones (in North Korea), death camps, mass famine, genetic engineering (China) and every horror imaginable. So the thing you think is absolutely insane turns out to be the gateway to the next house of horrors. View the Mamdani administration in that light. The new wave of DSAers are here to implement...

Hilton said Tuesday it is dissolving its relationship with a Minnesota hotel that sparked backlash from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for denying federal immigration agents from booking accommodations. “The independent hotel owner had assured us that they had fixed this problem and published a message confirming this. A recent video clearly raises concerns that they are not meeting our standards and values,” the company wrote in a statement on the social platform X. “As such, we are taking immediate action to remove this hotel from our systems. Hilton is — and has always been — a welcoming place...

She wrote in August 2019: 'Private property, including and kind of especially homeownership, is a weapon of white supremacy masquerading as "wealth building" public policy.' Two years prior, she claimed that America 'built wealth for white people through genocide, slavery, stolen land and labor.' She also encouraged voters to 'elect more communists,' just months after she called for the endorsement of a 'no more white men in office platform.'

Hilton Corporate has finally taken action against the despicable ‘independent’ Hilton hotel in Minneapolis that banned ICE and DHS agents, thanks to the dogged efforts of independent conservative journalist Nick Sortor. As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Department of Homeland Security’s X account shared a disturbing email on Monday showing that Hilton Hotels had abruptly cancelled reservations for DHS officers in Minneapolis for daring to round up dangerous illegal aliens. The specific Hilton hotel in question is the Hampton Inn Lakeville property. “After further investigation online, we have found information about immigration work connected to your name, and we will...

Hilton Hotels said it is investigating an independently owned Minneapolis-area property after the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) alleged law enforcement officers were refused service, a dispute that has renewed scrutiny of the company’s long-standing opposition to immigration-related activity at its hotels. Emails shared on social media by DHS and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) appear to show staff at the Hampton Inn by Hilton Lakeville, Minnesota, telling people linked to DHS reservations that the property would not allow ICE or other immigration agents to stay. A spokesperson for Hilton told FOX Business the company is investigating the incident...

America has more than one "lost" generation of white men When I read Jacob Savage’s widely praised essay on “the lost generation” of young white men in America—a generation of men who, like himself, have lost out on prestigious jobs in media and academia for no reason other than the lightness of their skin and the equipment dangling between their legs—I couldn’t help but feel a tinge of recognition. More than a tinge, actually.You see, between 2015 and 2018, I was a DPhil student at the University of Oxford. My research was on the Reformation in England, the great schism...
