President Trump plans to be on the Tremendous Bowl in New Orleans. As a result of he continues to indicate his bigotry by stopping federal businesses from recognizing Black Historical past Month, wouldn’t it’s acceptable if NFL gamers on each groups took a knee in the course of the Nationwide Anthem?
That may be like extending a center finger to Trump’s bigotry. Maybe he can be so humiliated he would go away the stadium instantly. Now, wouldn’t that be a breath of contemporary air for our anxiety-ridden nation?

From the within out
Trump and his bullies are attacking our authorities like they did the Capitol on Jan. 6, solely they’re doing it from the within out.
Voters put a demented autocrat in cost. They’re out to interrupt the Structure, FBI, USAID and DOJ, for starters. Not solely are they improper; they’re unlawful.
First, they fired the inspectors basic who would expose criminality. Now, they’re dismantling our democratic establishments and eliminating any opposition to allow them to be dictators.
Then they are going to precise retribution on those that discovered Trump responsible of previous illegality.
And proposing the U.S. completely relocate Palestinians and taking up Gaza is delusional. It’s the beginning of a dictatorship, and it should be stopped.

Shameful mass deportations
The brand new administration’s brutal deportation plan is appalling and heartbreaking in too some ways to explain.
What sickens me most is questioning how many individuals swept up within the raids are important staff who, in the course of the pandemic, saved us fed, stocked our grocery cabinets and delivered medicines and provides. They have been deservedly feted as heroes throughout these terrifying and unsettling occasions as they risked their very own well being and that of their households. For disgrace.

Costco’s braveness
Hats off to shareholders at Costco, who strongly rejected strain from the Trump administration to disband all DEI applications, saying that each one worker choices must be merit-based.
Isn’t this ironic coming from Trump, who threatened authorized motion in opposition to any faculty or company that exposed his private grades or check scores and who routinely questions the intelligence of others.

A Yogi Berra-ism
I used to be fairly amused studying the contents of the letter from a Trump supporter, Steve Goldsmith of Delray Seaside, who bemoaned the Solar Sentinel’s liberal editorial opinions, then added this drivel: “It’s no surprise folks aren’t studying your newspaper anymore.”
A reader sending a letter to the editor to a paper that allegedly no one reads jogged my memory of one in all Yogi Berra’s all-time nice Yogi-isms: “No person goes there any extra. It’s too crowded.”
