Oregon joins Colorado and Washington D.C. in implementing such restrictions against the Trump administration's practices.

A new study found that 33% of physicians enrolled in Medicaid do not actually treat Medicaid patients, with this gap rising to over 40% for psychiatrists.

Historian Dante King analyzed Nicki Minaj's public support for Donald Trump, framing it as a manifestation of "unexamined anti-blackness." He argued that such endorsements by Black celebrities often stem from a long-standing belief that "white is the standard" and an appeal to white favor, positioning them as "puppets for white people" and driven by narcissism and capital gain. King emphasized that this behavior sends a dangerous message to younger Black people and reflects a lack of regard for ancestral struggles.

I think Nicki Minaj, she just positioned herself as um, you know, either kind of the Jezebel or or the mammy... it just really represents and demonstrates how black women can be positioned as puppets for white people... celebrityism is about narcissism... she has she is dealing with unexamined antilackness as many people of African descent are... We would not find ourselves ever voted for or aligning ourselves with anyone like a Donald Trump or anyone that supports him.
