U.S. president Donald Trump shared a racist video on his Truth Social account in which former American president and first lady Barack and Michelle Obama were depicted as apes. I was unsurprised, yet nonetheless disgusted. U.S. senator Jon Ossoff also found the video unacceptable. He said during a rally in Atlanta that Donald Trump was "posting about the Obamas like a Klansman."

The newly released documents from the Justice Department shine additional light on how the convicted child sex criminal exhibited a fascination with transhumanism, a controversial movement in science and philosophy with a eugenicist mission: using cutting edge technology, including genetic engineering and AI, to advance the biology of the human race. They also reinforce how serious Epstein was about pursuing these ideas.

Catch up quick: Trump recently posted - and deleted 12 hours later - a clip portraying the Obamas as apes at the end of a video on his Truth Social feed. The White House on Friday initially said criticism of the video was "fake outrage." It later backtracked, deleting the post and claiming it was erroneously posted by a staffer, after the backlash grew to include Republican lawmakers demanding its removal.

Throughout my childhood and adolescence, my closest friend was "Kate." We kept in touch throughout college but drifted apart a bit afterwards. Kate stayed in our hometown after I moved away. Long story short, I abruptly cut Kate out of my life several years ago after she made a racist comment to the person I was dating at the time (Kate and I are both white, my ex was not).

I tell you now, there is an attempt by some of the longer serving chief constables to get rid of me, says Ch Insp Andy George. I can guarantee I know exactly what they think of me: that I'm a wee upstart, so I am, that doesn't know my place, he adds with a smile. The eldest son of a Protestant mother from Armagh in Northern Ireland and a father who was born in Malaysia but served in the British army,

The Minneapolis police cruiser was heading south toward sections of the city hit hardest by recent immigration raids. The police chief, Brian O'Hara, was in the passenger seat, and I was in the back. How candidly, I asked him, was he willing to discuss his views of President Trump? "I have my personal opinions," O'Hara allowed warily. "I don't think my personal opinions are relevant for my job."

Martindale said after the game that the 37-year-old was in tears in the changing room following a comment made to him on the pitch during the 6-2 loss at Pittodrie. The former Democratic Republic of Congo forward was sent off after a second-half melee between the players. Martindale said on Wednesday: "There was an incident. I think the incident's now with the SFA, and that's really all I can enlighten you with as far as I know. "I think Bokila has been speaking to the club secretary. I don't know any more than that. "I just know the incident's been referred to the Scottish Football Association."

SNS Livingston will contact the Scottish FA to report Aberdeen over an alleged racial comment made to striker Jeremy Bokila. Following Livingston's 6-2 defeat by Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Saturday, manager David Martindale said 37-year-old Bokila was in tears in the changing room after a comment made to him on the pitch. It is understood the alleged comment was of a racial nature and came amid a second-half melee that resulted in Bokila being sent off.

Even in an age of misinformation and disinformation - which we really need to start clearly calling propaganda - we continue to rely on old ways of knowing. We take it for granted that if we really need to get to the truth, there's a way to do it, even if it means cracking the pages of one of those ancient conveyors of wisdom, a book.

The response to the 2024 riots in England and Northern Ireland failed to address its root causes and delinked the violence from racism, a thinktank has claimed. A paper by the Institute of Race Relations (IRR) reported that an obfuscation of the causes and consequences of the riots risks legitimising further far-right mobilisation and vigilante violence. It said that what happened has often been reduced to mindless thuggery or violence.

Liverpool goalkeeper Rafaela Borggrafe has received a six-game ban for using discriminatory language towards a team-mate, it was revealed on Friday. Reds manager Gareth Taylor explained Borggrafe accepted the sanction, following an investigation by the Football Association that began in September, and has served five of the six games already. The incident, believed to involve Borggrafe making an allegedly racist remark, took place during Liverpool's pre-season training camp. The 25-year-old German joined Liverpool from SC Freiburg in the summer and has made three first-team appearances.

Owendoff has had a sizable sway over the city's decision-making for the past 15 years. Through his role as a commercial real estate broker, he's involved in several political and business groups. During Sam Adams's tenure as mayor, Adams appointed Owendoff to a panel focused on planning the future of the Veterans Memorial Coliseum. Owendoff was forced out of a real estate job in 2011 for posting hundreds of caustic comments on the Oregonian website.

The satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, known globally and tragically for being the target of an Islamist attack in 2015 published a caricature of me. And it was appallingly racist. A huge, toothy grin, an enormous mouth, the cartoon depicts me dancing on a stage before an audience of laughing white men, adorned with a banana belt on a largely exposed body. The headline: The Rokhaya Diallo Show: Mocking secularism around the world.

With her death on 28 December, another more contemporary Bardot illusion was shattered. The singer Chappell Roan, responding to Bardot's passing at 91, posted a photo of the actor in her beehived prime on Instagram, saying she had inspired her song Red Wine Supernova and writing: Rest in peace Ms Bardot.

Mr Manknell found that many working at the prison, including senior management staff, were unaware that Belmarsh had a policy which meant racist prisoners should be marked as high risk and should only be placed in cells with prisoners of the same ethnicity. Following an inquest into Mr Ghuman's death, it was found that Belmarsh failed when carrying out Hilden's CSRA assessment in 2019 after he moved to the prison from HMP High Down.

The speech was, in that familiar Trumpian way, about permission: who gets to be here, who gets to be counted, who gets to be treated as American. And, to illustrate this, Trump reached for one of his favorite targets: Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar, a Somali American citizen whose presence in this country has infuriated Trump for nearly a decade (and for whom I used to work as a political communications operative):

I'm not sure why my truck got vandalized. It was just sitting there. But it was very disheartening to see.
