If you don't know the history of Trump's grandfather, y'all need to listen to this. You'll be even more repulsed and disgusted by the psychotic shitstain's treatment of immigrants. 😳👇
#AusGP 🇦🇺 | Lewis Hamilton says he refuses to retire before racing in Africa.
“I’ve had the privilege, I’ve been to 10 countries now in Africa, there’s still so much more for me to see... For the past six years, I think, maybe seven, I’ve been fighting in the background to get a Grand Prix. Sitting with the stakeholders and asking them ‘why are we not in Africa? We’re on every other continent, why not Africa?’”
“I know they’re really trying. I think they’ve been to quite a few different countries. The ones that I’ve enjoyed the most so far, I loved Kenya, Rwanda particularly was spectacular. Two places I felt like I could live in. South Africa is stunning. I think those are the ones that I think would be good places for us to potentially go to.”
“I don’t want to leave the sport within having a Grand Prix there, without getting to race there. I’m gonna be here for a while until that happens because that’ll be amazing, given that I’m half African.”
#AusGP 🇦🇺 | Lewis Hamilton takes a moment to speak about the African continent:
“I’m half African. I’ve got roots from a few different places there. Benin, Senegal, Nigeria.”
“It’s something I’m really proud of, that part of the world. I think it is the most beautiful part of the world, and I don’t like that the rest of the world owns so much of it and takes so much from it and no one speaks about it.”
“I’m really looking forwards, hoping that the people that are running those different countries all unite and come together and take Africa back. That’s what I want to see. Take it back from the French, take it back from the Spanish, from the Portuguese and the British.”
“It’s so so important for the future, that continent. They have all the resources to be the greatest and most powerful place in the world and that’s probably why they’re being controlled the way they are.”
Property tax is just a tax on unrealized gains and I'm tired of pretending it's not.
You buy a house for $300k. Years later, market goes up, assessor says it's worth $600k now. Boom—your tax bill jumps, even though you haven't sold a damn thing, pulled equity, or seen a dime of cash from that "gain." You're paying every year on paper wealth that only exists on Zillow or some county spreadsheet.
We lose our minds when politicians float taxing unrealized stock gains for billionaires ("muh forced sales!"), but grandma gets hit with the same thing on her family home and we're supposed to call it "paying for schools and roads"? Nah.
It's a wealth tax dressed up as a service fee, and it only feels fair because we've normalized it for centuries. Once the mortgage is paid off, you should OWN it outright—no annual ransom to the county just because your neighborhood got trendy.
Abolish property taxes on primary residences. Tax consumption if you must, but stop pretending "ownership" means you rent from the government forever.
MUST WATCH: Louisville police officers were desperately searching for a missing 3-year-old boy when a dog came out of nowhere, jumping and barking, eventually leading them directly to the location where he was rescued safe and sound.
This is the Ben & Jerry’s Board of Directors - or was. But now Magnum is trying to kick all of them off the board.
They have been the guardians of the progressive values and activist social mission of Ben & Jerry’s since 2001 and they have the legal authority to do so.
The reality is that if enough people make their voice heard and let Magnum know that what’s going on stinks, Magnum will understand that it’s in their self interest to sell Ben and Jerry’s to a group of socially aligned investors who actually support the values and progressive activism.
LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD to #FreeBenandJerrys

NEW: Secret passageway linked to the Underground Railroad discovered at the bottom drawer of a dresser in New York City.
The 2-by-2-foot opening revealed a ladder that descended two stories.
The 19th-century house on East Fourth Street in Manhattan was built by abolitionist Joseph Brewster in the 1830s, according to Spectrum News.
The house is now believed to have been used as a "safe house."
"I’ve been practicing historical preservation law for 30 years, and this is a generational find. This is the most significant find in historic preservation in my career," said preservation attorney and professor at Pratt Institute, Michael Hiller.
Historians say the passageway is a "masterwork of deliberate concealment," designed to be "absolutely invisible to slave catchers."
No words. We haven’t begun to reckon with this history or its present iterations.
They were hunting Black people so intensively in the US that a whole system of secret hideaways had to be configured.
And they were so well hidden that we’re still discovering them.
you are allowed to say, at any point, ‘I can't support this.’
even if you did. even if you were unsure.
you can say ‘this has gone too far.’ and while the best time to say that was earlier, the second best time is now.
ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. The deaths are variations of the same fatal theme.
Lewis Hamilton shares an instagram post for his 41st Birthday:
“Another return. I'm incredibly grateful for this break. Time to disconnect, recharge and find a bit of inner peace. Time with family and friends replenishing with rest and good laughs has been everything I needed after a very draining year. In a world that moves so fast where we're constantly being pulled in so many directions, truly disconnecting and has been the most amazing feeling.”
“I'm conscious that we're entering the Year of the Horse and leaving behind the Year of the Snake. The time for change is now. Starting new routines, leaving behind unwanted patterns and working on growth.”
“Let go of things that don't serve you. This can take time, there will be things you can't get rid of immediately, but it starts with the first step.
Even though the world can seem like a mess, I hope that you're staying focused on living life to the fullest. Be you and never forget who you are. I learnt that from many of you who told me this in 2025, and I'll never forget again! Your support means the world to me, and I'm here for you too. You are never alone. Let's take it one day at a time, one step at a time.”
