Nothing to see here. Just another BLM activist caught funneling charity funds for their personal gain. But what else is new?
Monica Cannon-Grant must pay back $224,000 after she “embezzled [the funds] for shopping sprees and vacations.”
According to the New York Post:
A scamming Black Lives Matter activist once named the Bostonian of the Year has been ordered to pay back back $224,000 she embezzled for shopping sprees and vacations.
Monica Cannon-Grant was ordered to make the massive payout this week after already being sentenced in January to four years of probation, six months of house arrest and 100 hours of community service for her widespread wire and tax fraud, WBUR reported.
USC was set to hold a debate for California’s gubernatorial candidates. There was no problem with this, so a disgruntled candidate made one up. Subsequently, the event was canceled less than 24 hours before the scheduled time because the candidates were too white for the left.
According to The Desert Sun:
Former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, a Democratic candidate for governor, accused USC of using an “arbitrary formula that favors wealthy candidates” and said the criteria resulted in the exclusion of all candidates of color from the debate.
In other words, Becerra was beside himself, as he could not comprehend how he did not meet this “viability” score.
Maybe, just maybe, the reason he did not qualify for the debate had nothing to do with skin color and everything to do with the fact that he is polling at 3%.
USC said it stood by the independence of the data-driven formula used to determine candidate “viability,” but acknowledged the controversy had become a distraction from issues voters care about.
“We recognize that concerns about the selection criteria for tomorrow’s gubernatorial debate have created a significant distraction from the issues that matter to voters,” the university said, adding that it would “look for other opportunities to educate voters on the candidates and issues”.
Once again, academic freedom is suddenly a concern. Funny how this is never a worry when it affects conservatives.

Princeton professors discuss resisting Trump administration’s anti-DEI policies at panel
Faculty at Princeton University are organizing opposition to the Trump administration’s efforts to eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs, with panelists warning that the policies could affect academic freedom on campus.
About 30 professors gathered for a recent American Association of University Professors (AAUP) panel to discuss how faculty should respond to the Department of Education under President Donald Trump, as the group reportedly increased its meeting frequency in response to federal actions targeting DEI initiatives.
The panel featured Princeton professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor and Institute for Advanced Study professor emerita Joan W. Scott, who argued that recent federal policies reflect a broader effort to influence higher education. Taylor said at the meeting as reported by The Daily Princetonian that the changes have “created conditions of fear, intimidation, and repression on college campuses.”
Speakers also pointed to organizations such as the Heritage Foundation as influential in policy discussions surrounding higher education reform and DEI programs.
Monday’s edition of Amanpour & Co., airing on PBS (and CNN International) showcased eponymous host Christiane Amanpour assenting to the radical view of her guest, Yale University professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor.
CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR: Also ahead, “White Supremacy in Donald Trump’s White House.” Princeton Professor Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor speaks to Michel Martin about Trump’s war on DEI.
The above shows the host quoting a featured article by her guest. But Amanpour was also comfortable straight-up saying Trump’s White House was a “white supremacist” house.
AMANPOUR: Since the start of his second term, President Trump has signed a number of executive orders targeting DEI policies, uttered rhetoric deemed racist at immigrants and is generally eroding the, quote, “melting pot identity” the U.S. once prided itself on. Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor is a Princeton professor of African American studies and she’s the co-founder of the black politics and culture magazine Hammer & Hope. In her recent piece, she describes a white supremacy in Donald Trump’s White House and joins Michel Martin to discuss the rollback of civil rights.
Diversity, equity and inclusion efforts are still underway at Washburn University in Kansas despite a state law banning the ideology, according to two recently published undercover videos.
Both edited videos were released this month by Accuracy in Academia, a conservative watchdog group that has over the last year targeted numerous universities across Republican-controlled states with the same sting: catching employees admitting to undercover investigators that they are flouting anti-DEI laws.
At Washburn, located in Topeka, a video published March 18 centers on lecturer Craig Carter with the School of Applied Studies, who told an AIM investigator that employees were told to discontinue DEI but “to my knowledge, we didn’t do any of that here.”
“A lot of times we use other words for diversity,” he was recorded saying on AIM’s hidden camera, according to the group.
“We talk about inclusion, you know, and stuff like that. For the most part, we haven’t been… I mean, I haven’t changed anything that I say or do in the classroom,” Carter said.

Democrats in Congress continue to resist the SAVE America Act by claiming that it seeks a return to the “Jim Crow era” and “discriminates” against women, but can they back up their claims?
Democrats in the House and Senate have repeatedly claimed the legislation is discriminatory, though many of the bill’s provisions, which include requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID, poll overwhelmingly positively with Americans.
The SAVE America Act has already passed the House, but the Senate is considering the bill this week.
Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, claimed in an online video statement that married women would be banned from registering to vote if they change their name.
“If you’re a woman who got married, changed your last name, and if your last name doesn’t match the last name on your birth certificate, you’re not going to be able to register to vote,” the Hawaii senator claimed. “That I call stealing our votes.”
U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor has ruled the Department of Education cannot receive student admission data from colleges and universities. The Department was seeking information on race, gender, standardized test scores, and GPAs of applicants. The data would be collected and reviewed in a way that does not expose student IDs.
The data is needed to determine whether colleges and universities are complying with a SCOTUS order ending affirmative action in college admissions. The ruling will be appealed. The lawsuit was initiated by 17 Progmerican states. We believe they are seeking to protect their Progmerican institutions from an American plumb line.
Court pauses ‘unprecedented’ federal demand for 7 years of college admissions data – thecollegefix.com
A judge has sided — for now — with the attorneys general for 17 states who recently filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Education’s demand for reams of student admissions data.
U.S. District Judge F. Dennis Saylor on Friday granted a temporary restraining order through March 25 blocking the department from collecting the data as he reviews the lawsuit.
The Pentagon is launching a new task force to root out neo-Marxist ideology plaguing America’s war colleges, War Secretary Pete Hegseth announced on Thursday.
“We want military leaders who are critical thinkers; that have studied the principles upon which our Founding Fathers established this republic; and that are educated and prepared to win wars,” Hegseth said in a video message. “After the wokeness and weakness of Joe Biden’s administration, our warfighters deserve training with integrity; where the focus is on the warrior ethos, on deterrence, and on strength.”
Hegseth said that he has instructed Under Secretary of War for Personnel and Readiness Anthony Tata to establish a task force to “evaluate” America’s senior service colleges, where “our senior officers go to continue their education.” These institutions include the Army War College, Naval War College, National Defense University, and others.
Former President Barack Obama long ago surpassed the Rev. Jesse Jackson and the Rev. Al Sharpton as America’s most influential race hustler. The country got a reminder when Obama spoke at Jackson’s funeral, even though Jackson’s son urged the speakers “not to bring their politics” to the service.
Obama said: “Every day you wake up to things you just didn’t think were possible. Each day, we’re told by those in high office to fear each other, and to turn on each other. And that some Americans count more than others.” Same old Obama.
In his 2004 Democratic National Convention speech, he famously declared, “There is not a Black America and a White America and Latino America and Asian America—there’s the United States of America.” It was the line that launched him and made millions across party lines believe he could bridge divides.
17 Democrat-controlled states have joined a lawsuit against the Trump administration over its insistence that colleges and universities do not use racist policies to select their students for admission. This followed a SCOTUS ruling that made it clear these race-based policies are unconstitutional. The Democrat-held states, Progmerican states, want to preserve their “right” to exclude white people from higher education, SCOTUS be damned.
17 blue states sue Trump admin over policy requiring colleges to prove their admissions policies aren’t racist – The Post Millennial
Last August, President Donald Trump ordered the policy amid concerns that colleges were using personal statements and other parts of the application process to indirectly factor race into admissions decisions.
17 Democratic-led states filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the Trump administration over its policy to require colleges to collect and report demographic data proving they are not considering race in their admissions decisions.
Last August, President Donald Trump ordered the policy amid concerns that colleges were using personal statements and other parts of the application process to indirectly factor race into admissions decisions. The move follows the Supreme Court’s 2023 ruling that struck down affirmative action in college admissions, though the court said schools may still consider how race has affected an applicant’s life if the student chooses to share it in an admissions essay.
Trump’s order directed Education Secretary Linda McMahon to require colleges to report the data “to provide adequate transparency into admissions.” Schools must submit that data by March 18. Failure to comply could result in facing enforcement actions under Title IV of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which governs federal financial aid.
The lawsuit is made up of a coalition of 17 Democratic state attorneys general and was filed in federal court in Boston.

Regents order University of Iowa to discipline employee discussing DEI on undercover video aired on Fox News
A conservative private law firm hired to investigate two University of Iowa employees captured on undercover video discussing the campus’ compliance with state diversity, equity and inclusion laws is recommending the UI “initiate disciplinary proceedings” against just one of the employees.
Following a closed-door discussion Thursday at the Board of Regents meeting in Iowa City, board President Robert Cramer made a motion, which passed unanimously:
“In the matter of the investigation of ‘Employee A’ accept the findings and recommendation of Consovoy McCarthy and dismiss the complaint,” Cramer said. “In the matter of investigation of ‘Employee B,’ accept the findings and recommendations of Consovoy McCarthy and direct the University of Iowa to initiate disciplinary proceedings.”
Cramer did not disclose which employees were designated A and B, or detail what the “disciplinary proceedings” would entail.
China passes new ethnic minority law, prioritise use of Mandarin language Reuters
from news.google.com
China passed a law on a “shared” national identity among the country’s 55 ethnic minority groups on Thursday, a move critics say will further erode the identity of people who are not majority Han Chinese and risk making anyone challenging that “unity” a separatist punishable by law.
Called “Promoting Ethnic Unity and Progress”, the ethnic minority law aims to forge national unity and advance the rejuvenation of the Chinese nation with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) at its core, a draft copy of the law showed.
The Democrat Party of Virginia has moved aggressively to make the state in Progmerica’s image, passing numerous bills aimed at curbing American liberty. They passed one bill that freezes white men out of government contracts, another bill takes “assault weapons” from Americans, and one that mandates J6 be taught to children as only being an insurrection.
Finally, they have passed a bill banning the possession of “assault weapons.” The three bills reflect Progmerica’s anti-white racist ideology, its disrespect for freedom of thought, and its fear of an armed citizenry it knows it is preparing to attack.
Virginia Passes Bill Requiring State Agencies To Discriminate Against White Men – The Federalist
Democrats in Virginia passed a bill Friday that directs state agencies to discriminate against businesses owned by white men when considering which companies receive discretionary government contracts under $200,000.
The bill, introduced by Democrat Del. Jeion Ward, establishes the “Small SWaM Business Procurement Enhancement Program.” (SWaM stands for “small women-owned, small minority-owned, or small service disabled veteran-owned”). The measure sets a race or sex quota for such businesses to receive 42 percent of the state’s discretionary spending on “procurement orders, prime contracts, and subcontracts.”
“The bill provides that executive branch agencies and covered institutions are required to increase their small SWaM business utilization rates by three percent per year until reaching the 42-percent target or, if unable to do so, to implement achievable goals to increase their utilization rates,” a summary states. The legislative text dictates that “purchases between $10,000 and $200,000 shall be set aside for award to small SWaM businesses.”
A federal appeals court handed an elementary school student a significant win this week for her free speech rights in the classroom, vacating a lower court’s ruling that had placed her speech rights at the whim of teachers and administrators.
A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit found that the lower court did not properly apply the standard set in the 1969 Supreme Court ruling Tinker v. Des Moines, which found that a student does not lose his free speech rights at school and that schools may only restrict speech if it causes significant disruption to the learning environment. The ruling said the lower court was wrong in finding that the student’s drawing, at the center of the dispute, was not protected by the First Amendment.
“This case presents an important issue: to what extent is elementary students’ speech protected by the First Amendment? Applying the criteria set forth in Tinker v. Des Moines Independent Community School District, we hold that elementary students’ speech is protected by the First Amendment, the
age of the students is a relevant factor under Tinker, and schools may restrict students’ speech only when the restriction is reasonably necessary to protect the safety and well-being of its students,” the ruling said.
Pop legend Stevie Wonder told white people to “overcome” their “hate” and “white supremacy” during his time at the mic during Reverend Jessie Jackson’s public funeral on Friday.
The “Isn’t She Lovely” singer appeared during Jackson’s “homecoming” event and told the crowd that “Rev. Jackson and I had a long and strong history.”
“It was personal and political. We were able to love each other and support each other through the good and the bad. I knew his heart, I respected his mind, and trusted his soul. I wish we could say everyone did,” he said of Jackson, who died in February at 84, according to CBS News
Wonder also performed the song “As,” along with “They Won’t Go When I Go,” which he said “speaks the truth in my heart.”
But Wonder also delivered an attack against white people.
“It is you, and you know who you are,” he lectured. “You need to overcome hate. You need to overcome the mindset of white supremacy…You shall overcome the need to dominate every single country and its people.”
Racial concordance study ‘scientifically unsound,’ Do No Harm argues
A prominent study purporting to prove that black patients benefit from black doctors is unsupported by its own findings, because the data show black patients improved even when they didn’t see black doctors, according to an anti-DEI medical advocacy group.
The study was co-authored by one of the architects of Obamacare, MIT’s Jonathan Gruber, and contends to support the racial concordance theory that patients who receive medical care from physicians of the same race have better outcomes.
This theory is often cited in legal, political, and policy decisions to maintain racial preferences in medical education and hiring.
However, Do No Harm stated in its new report challenging the study — by citing its own data — that “the benefit for black patients in medical facilities that also have more black doctors is estimated to be even larger than for the black patients who see doctors of all races.”
Scouting America has now committed to end its DEI programs, recognize the biological binary sex reality of humans, and separate the boys from the girls. The move came after Secretary of War Pete Hegseth informed the organization that failure to uncouple anti-American leftism from their standards would result in the Department of War ending its relationship with them.
BREAKING: Boy Scouts agrees to ditch DEI, keep boys and girls separate in showers, lodging after Pentagon pressure – The Post Millennial Hegseth said he had been “seriously considering” ending Department of War support for the youth organization.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth revealed on Friday that Scouting America, formerly known as the Boy Scouts of America, is ending DEI in its programs and implementing measures to separate boys and girls by biological sex in toilets, tents, and other “intimate spaces.”
Hegseth said he had been “seriously considering” ending Department of War support for the youth organization, “But, before making this big change, I decided to meet with the current scouting leadership to convey our deep concerns.”
A lawsuit filed by evolutionary biologist Colin Wright includes “egregious” evidence of racially discriminatory hiring practices at Cornell University, according to his attorney.
“The facts could not be more egregious – here we have documented, intentional exclusion of huge swaths of candidates based on race and ethnicity,” Leigh Ann O’Neill, chief legal affairs officer at America First Policy Institute, told The College Fix in a recent email.
In the lawsuit filed in January, Wright alleges that multiple internal emails show the Ivy League institution intentionally excluded white candidates from the hiring process in violation of state and federal civil rights laws.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced that he has ordered the “complete and immediate cancellation” of all Department of War attendants at “elite” universities where the campus culture is openly antithetical, if not openly hostile, to the goals of the U.S. military.
Among universities cited by Hegseth were Princeton, Columbia, MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Brown, Yale, and many “others” starting with the 2026-27 academic year.
Earlier this month, Hegseth cut the military’s ties with Harvard University, saying “We train warriors, not wokesters. Harvard, good riddance.”
“For decades, the ivy leagues and similar institutions have gorged themselves on a trust fund of American taxpayer dollars, only to become factories of anti-American resentment and military disdain,” Hegseth said in a video statement released Friday.
“They’ve taken our best and brightest — the men and women who pledge their lives to this nation — and subjected them to a curriculum of contempt,” he noted. “They’ve replaced the study of victory and pragmatic realism with the promotion of wokeness and weakness.”

The DOE had alleged in a March 2025 press release that The PhD Project “purports to provide doctoral students with insights into obtaining a Ph.D. and networking opportunities, but limits eligibility based on the race of participants.”
Central Intelligence Agency Director John Ratcliffe ordered the retraction of 19 intelligence products following an independent review that found the documents failed to meet regulatory standards of tradecraft and quality, the agency announced Friday.
Redacted versions of three documents obtained by The Federalist showed that the analyses promoted left-wing ideology, took sides on domestic political disagreements in foreign countries, fell outside of the CIA’s official role, and were sourced to left-wing media, nongovernmental organizations, and nonprofit groups. This commitment to advancing leftist activism appears to span at least three presidential administrations beginning in 2015.
A California community college professor cannot be required to embed diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility practices in his classroom, a federal judge has ruled.
The decision is the latest development in a nearly three-year-old lawsuit filed by Daymon Johnson, a history professor at Bakersfield College, part of the Kern Community College District. Johnson is also faculty lead of the Renegade Institute for Liberty.
Two California Code of Regulations provisions would require Johnson to employ teaching, learning, and professional practices reflecting diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility, or DEIA, as well as mandate the professor establish proficiency in DEI to teach or lead within California’s community colleges, the decision states.
For years, corporate America has fallen all over itself to be applauded by activists like the Human Rights Campaign, falsely believing HRC’s approval meant they were doing something right and good for business. This year, hundreds of companies, realizing they’ve been led astray, marched the other way.
Participation in the Human Rights Campaign’s Corporate Equality Index (CEI) was once treated as all but mandatory for Fortune 500 companies. But 2026 marks a cataclysmic collapse for that assumption.
In 2026, HRC saw a dramatic 65 percent drop in Fortune 500 CEI participation from 2025. And the number of companies achieving the “perfect” 100 score dropped approximately 30 percent from roughly 750 to 534. That’s not a rounding error. It’s a rapid retreat. And it’s overdue. But why such a dramatic shift? Why now?
California’s Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom is facing allegations of “liberal racism” after remarks he made about black people at a Sunday night event in Atlanta while promoting his new book.
Speaking with Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens, Newsom attempted to relate to the mostly black audience by downplaying his academic credentials.
“I’m not trying to impress you,” Newsom said.
“I’m just trying to impress upon you, ‘I’m like you. I’m not better than you.’
Last month, the Trump administration signed the Whole Milk for Healthy Kids Act, which focused on replacing processed, low-fat substitutes with real food like whole milk. It was championed by dairy farmers and MAHA proponents alike as a much-needed change to American dietary guidelines.
But the Democrats, forever driven by their deep-seated Trump Derangement Syndrome, have decided whole milk is problematic. Why? Well according to Rep. Maxine Dexter of Oregon, the push to serve kids whole milk is “white supremacy dog whistling.”
Democrat Rep. Maxine Dexter calls the MAHA campaign to drink whole milk “white supremacy dog whistling.”

The lawsuit, filed in the US District Court for the District of Massachusetts, accuses Harvard of repeatedly delaying and narrowing its responses to federal requests.
The US Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division filed a lawsuit against Harvard University on Friday, alleging the school unlawfully withheld admissions-related information that federal officials say they need to determine whether Harvard is complying with federal civil rights law following the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision in Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College.
