The Senate passed Trump's massive spending bill 51-50 after a 24-hour marathon session. The legislation targets universities that fund historical research, forcing schools like Yale to slash budgets.
First of all, race doesn't need to be on the college application form. If you have scores high enough to get into a college, then it shouldn't matter what color you are.
This is a textbook case of colorblind naivety—the idea that if we just stop talking about race, racism somehow disappears. But pretending race doesn’t matter in college admissions ignores the fact that it already does matter—just not always in ways that are fair.
Test scores don’t exist in a vacuum. They reflect the quality of education a student had access to, whether their schools were underfunded or overcrowded, whether they had tutors or test prep, whether they had to work a job while studying, or navigate violence, instability, or bias. These factors aren’t evenly distributed—and race is one of the biggest predictors of who gets what.
Claiming “it shouldn’t matter what color you are” skips over the fact that race already shaped the path that led to that application. When you strip race from the equation, you’re not creating equality—you’re erasing the context that explains how someone got where they are. That’s not fairness. That’s denial.
What’s really being defended here is the illusion that merit is neutral, objective, and colorblind. But in reality, the system has never been colorblind—it’s been structured to reward privilege while pretending everyone had the same start line. Recognizing race isn’t about giving anyone a handout—it’s about seeing the full picture before judging the outcome.
I agree. I do think "white" should be eliminated. Ethnicity should be on the application. So should "American." White? Get rid of it. It is not real. It is class construct conveying immediate advantage in a racist society. It will allow people to check "Italian" or "Jewish" or "Irish" and/or "Vietnamese" and "Peruvian." Students can check American and their ethnicity also or two or three ethnic categories. Or just American. But get rid of "white." It is racist to even include it. Because, it is not real. And I also agree there is no real meritocracy. It is a rigged system, rooted in whiteness.
Student education funding is gone too. I just read on Reddit that American graduate students are leaving for Germany and Norway to continue their research. Apparently there, school is free once they pay a $300 service fee. So yes, the “Brain Drain” is underway. I can’t imagine an America where everyone is uneducated but here we are.
I keep seeing all my Substack follows/subs, all my Pro-Democracy YT Channel subs, all the cable news pundits saying “How can the MAGA Congress be passing a Spending Bill so blatantly destructive to so many Americans but especially to pure Cult MAGA voters in Red States?!”...
You know why this CORRUPT, COMPLICIT MAGA Congress IS NOT PUSHING BACK "NO!" against ‘Rump and “NO!” for their Red States constituents as they try to shove the Big BS Billionaire "Welfare" Bill (that will DESTROY Obamacare, SNAP, Medicare) down Poor/Working class Americans throat the past 3 days?! All for Dear Leader's STUPID MADE UP BS 7/4 DEADLINE, Congress doesn't end on 7/4 you moron ‘Rump trying to play your Reality TV Game with MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LIVES/SURVIVAL…
THEY ARE BEING TOLD THERE WILL BE NO PRIMARY OR VOTING REPURCUSSIONS FOR THEIR ANTI-AMERICAN/PRO-BILLIONAIRE YES VOTES!!
Because this FASCIST 'Rump Regime next move is to STOP ALL ELECTIONS PERIOD!!
Don't be naive people. EVERY DAY since Jan. 6th 2021 ‘Rump led Insurrection has been a Fascist Regime takeover of: Constitution, Journalism, Media, Voting Districts, now TARGETED AMERICAN CITIZEN kidnappings for Prison Profits & Concentration Camps via the BIGGEST GOVT. ALLOWED TRANSFER OF WEALTH TO THE 1% IN WORLD HISTORY.
Look at what the MAGA DeSatan leaders in Florida just did in Miami Mayoral Election supposed to happen this fall 2025 - CANCELLED IT VIA SOME BS LOOPHOLE!!
They probably saw the primary win for Mamdani in NYC, they seen all the "Fight Oligarchy" AOC & Bernie rallies & the Red State Town Hall PISSED OFF Americans of all voting backgrounds the past 5 months! Including 2 massive "Hands Off" & "No Kings" MILLIONS OF AMERICANS PROTESTED AT!! We MUST KEEP PUSHING BACK WITH OUR #1 POWER - 349,330,000 AMERICANS that are NOT BILLIONAIRES 24/7/365!!
WE MUST USE OUR POWER OF NATIONAL STRIKES & PROTESTS EVERYDAY VS. THESE MAGA & BILLIONAIRE PRICKS!!

This will effect medical research too, I assume. Many breakthroughs in medical science come from government programs and funding.
