Just a Reminder that Donald Trump is and always has been an abuser. A third woman has now accused Mr. Trump of rape.
A woman filed a lawsuit claiming that when she was thirteen years old she was held as a sex slave to Mr. Trump and his friend Jeffrey Epstein. The woman claimed to have a witness, “Tiffany Doe,” to the incidents. Mr. Epstein is a notorious “billionaire pedophile” who is now a Level 3 registered sex offender - the most dangerous kind, “a threat to public safety” — after being convicted of misconduct with another underage girl.
Mr. Trump has a long history of debasing women he’s worked with, crossing the line on a regular basis. He’s taken lifelong joy in objectifying women, including his proclamation: “Women, you have to treat ‘em like shit.”
He’s also been accused of worse than just misogynist language. Two prior women have accused Mr. Trump, in court documents, of actual or attempted sexual assault. (Mr. Trump denies all the allegations.) In fact, Under oath, Ivana Trump accused Mr. Trump of a violent rape. First was Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s first wife, who said under oath in a 1989 deposition that he had violently attacked her, ripped out her hair and forcibly penetrated her without her consent.

UPPER WEST SIDE, Manhattan — It was an unsolicited homecoming that left Bronx native Darren Martin unsettled. After spending several years working on Capitol Hill and in the White House with the Obama Administration, Martin recently made the move back to New York, getting a job with the city and finding a unit in a 5-story walk-up on the Upper West Side.
White people weaponizing the police again.
This one especially caught my interest for a couple of reasons, the first being this isn’t really a white neighborhood. The Upper West Side in general is pretty uniformly white, but the area where this building is located is right at a strip of black & brown longtime residents who are being pushed out thanks to gentrification. Plus, there are some housing projects about three blocks away. What likely happened here is some white folks moved to the Upper West Side from Kansas or wherever and didn’t realize this particular part of the UWS isn’t as white as the neighborhood looks on TV. They’re hyper vigilant of all brown faces because they didn’t expect to see so many and the projects are right nearby. They saw a Black man they hadn’t seen before and got suspicious because they’re on high alert. They wouldn’t have called the cops on a white person because that’s like “whew, okay, making the UWS white like I expected before I moved here.”
The other reason I noticed this story is I used to live not far from there. This address is on 106th St one block west of Central Park. I used to live on the corner of 100th Street and Central Park West, the avenue that runs up the west side of the Park. We were having dinner one night (four people, no music or television on, casual conversation at a normal volume – not even drunk or laughing or arguing) and the cops came to the door and said there was a noise complaint. As he was saying it, you could tell he was confused about the call because all he saw was four people sitting around having dinner with no music or anything. It was just busybody white folks harassing the young brown people on the second floor.
This is also the same neighborhood where I saw a white man threatening to call the cops on a Black man trying to find his keys. This white guy was walking his dog and a Black guy was fumbling in his pockets in front of a door. The white guy yelled, “hey get away from there or I’ll call the cops!” and that’s when the Black man found his keys and said “I live here.”
If white people spent half as much time watching their troubled “loner” kids and angry entitled dudes who hate the world because some woman just broke up with them as they do watching Black people minding our own business….well, you can finish that thought yourself.
Bigger than Africa (trailer)
“When the Slave boats docked in America, Brazil, Cuba and the Caribbean’s, hundreds of cultures, traditions, and religions landed with Africans, but only one remains prominent till date in the new world, the culture of the Yoruba’s. Bigger Than Africa Documentary follows the journey of these Africans from the point of no returns in West Africa to the final destinations. Shot in six different countries with researches and interviews coming from around the world, this film took us to places like Brazil, Cuba, United States, Trinidad & Tobago and where it all began, West Africa.” for more info click here
