DACA and Dismissing White Privilege: Hard Stories (Juanita)

L’Oréal Has Dropped Its First Transgender Model For A Facebook Post Calling Out White Privilege

Buzzfeed News published this article on Munroe Bergdorf, the first trans model to serve as spokesperson for the UK branch of L’Oréal, who was recently dismissed from the campaign for her remarks on white privilege and white supremacy because of its relevance to its demographic, and its featuring of a relevant voice in today’s tumultuous social climate. Buzzfeed is generally associated with a progressive, liberal perspective, one that highlights the stories of marginalized individuals–people involved and interested in social justice/activists, pro-black movements, trans people, women of color, other members of the LGBT+, and people with intersections of these identities will be the most likely to be drawn by this story and headlines, because it addresses three major problems in society: the capitalization of black bodies, racism, and the adamant refusal to talk to about it. 

Blue states sue Trump over DACA

CNN published an article concerning the formation of a 16-strong coalition made up of Democratic and nonpartisan state attorneys to suing Mr. Trump for his recent decision to end DACA, a program that provides two-year residence for undocumented minors, a majority of them coming from Mexico and Latin America. This puts approximately 300,000 individuals at risk for deportation, CNN reports. This article will be of interest to a variety of people: immigrants, for whom Trump’s presidency means anything from oppression to terror; Democratic/liberals, nonpartisan anti-Trump individuals, pro-Trump individuals; people involved in immigration law; and Dreamers themselves, who may feel or be immediately threatened by this policy. This article truthful appeals to anyone who keeps tabs on the American political sphere, from international observers to the average American scanning the web.
