On MLK Day, Donald Trump isn’t honoring MLK’s legacy; he’s dismantling it. From scrubbing MLK Day and Juneteenth from the National Park Service calendar, to whitewashing American history under an Orwellian “sanity” order, to weaponizing DEI bans as grievance-driven affirmative action for Whites, Project 2025 amounts to a full-scale rollback of civil rights. iPINIONS damns… Read more.
In this Substack post, iPINIONS breaks down a deceptively simple cartoon that exposes how race, indifference, and moral responsibility are read very differently depending on who’s doing the looking.

Booker showed MAGA Trump is more Thurmond than Eisenhower Senator Cory Booker made history this week, speaking on the Senate floor for 25 hours and 5 minutes.
