Here’s the 60 Minutes report on “white genocide” in South Africa. It demonstrates it’s a lie, shows what’s really happening, debunks the specific claims made by Trump and ends with an Afrikaner saying it’s racist for the US to welcome his people rather than genuine refugees from around the world.

This message hits hard.
Graphic with a blue background and large white text reading “DEAR AMERICAN FRIENDS.” Below is a screenshot of a post explaining that Canada does not have CBS, that a “60 Minutes” episode aired normally in Canada, and stating that Canadian networks are not subject to U.S. government interference. The post ends with “We’re not under a dictatorship. You are.”

Tyson is closing a Nebraska plant that employs 3,200 workers in order to “right-size” its business. The meatpacking giant paid its CEO $22.7M last year, 525x its median employee's pay. It also spent $196M in stock buybacks to reward shareholders. Textbook corporate greed.
