The White America fantasy that Trump craves doesn't exist, never has existed, and can't be recreated through intimidation and hate.
Trump's America is a nation built by people who were not white. In 1776, when the US declared its independence, it included significant numbers of Black and Indigenous people in its population. The country was founded on the backs of enslaved Africans and Native Americans, whose descendants are still here today. When Texas was annexed in 1844 and Mexico's northern half was taken over in 1848, Spanish-speaking populations were already settled across parts of what is now the southwest.
Despite Trump's claims to the contrary, his America is not a country that can be recreated through deportation and persecution. Los Angeles, for example, is an almost 50% Latino city, with its name a reminder of who was here first. The city's residents are not going anywhere, and their presence is only growing more vibrant.
Trump's attacks on immigrants are based on lies and defamatory rhetoric, designed to whip up fear and hatred towards people of color. But the facts simply don't support it. Immigrants are not the enemy; they are crucial workers who do construction, nursing, and other vital jobs that keep this country running. Military veterans, college students, small children – all these Americans are under attack.
The real targets of Trump's fury are reproductive rights, particularly those that affect white women. His administration is pushing for laws that would make it harder for people to access birth control, but the evidence shows that these efforts won't work. Instead, they're part of a broader agenda that threatens women's health and labor force participation.
The policies are a distraction from the real issues facing this country – climate change and healthcare. Trump's administration is committed to fossil fuels and has sabotaged public health efforts in favor of anti-scientific schemes that promote diet control.
Ultimately, the premise of these attacks on immigrants is based on racism and xenophobia. But the people who live in the cities Trump is attacking – from Los Angeles to Charlotte, North Carolina, and Chicago to Portland to New York – are not going anywhere. They're organizing, standing up for their rights, and refusing to be intimidated by the hate speech of politicians like Trump.
As one new White House document reveals, "we reject" climate change and renewable energy, sentiments that are at odds with the facts on the ground. The truth is, people of color who were not born in this country are not intruders; they're fellow citizens who deserve respect and inclusion.
The rejection of Trumpism has been clear for months – thousands have taken to the streets to defend their neighbors against ICE and border patrol agents, refusing to be intimidated by hate speech. It's a testament to the resilience and strength of American communities that these efforts won't be swayed by insults and racism.

- it's not just Trump who's all about America being white - have you seen how many ppl of color are running for office lately? 
Like, Kamala Harris is the VP and she's Black! 
And don't even get me started on Latinx representation in Congress - it's getting better every year. 
It's like, we're already a country of immigrants, and now you wanna kick out everyone who's not white? 
That's just not how America works. We need more diversity, not less.
People are smarter than that. And btw, have you seen the stats on immigrant workers? 
They're basically running this country right now. Without them, we'd be in huge trouble.
️ We can't just deny it and expect everything to go back to normal. We need to take action, not sit around twiddling our thumbs while the planet burns. 
. I was thinking about what Trump said about immigrants and it just got me thinking... he's trying to divide us, but we're not falling for it. LA is a perfect example - it's one of the most diverse cities in the country and people are still coming together despite all the hate speech 
.
like what's next? us being a white nation? please! immigrants are literally the backbone of this country, they do so much more than just construction & stuff 
i mean have you seen la lately? it's like half latino lol 
️ and trump's just trying to whip up hate speech? that's just not cool fam 
we need to stand up for our rights & climate change is literally the biggest issue rn 
. Newsflash: America was never all about white people! Our country was built on the backs of enslaved Africans and Native Americans, who are still here today 
. It's not going to be recreated through deportation and hate, no matter how hard he tries. I mean, have you seen LA? Almost 50% Latino city, dude! 
. They're not the enemy, they're our fellow citizens who deserve respect and inclusion! Immigrants are keeping this country running with vital jobs in construction, nursing, and more 
. Military veterans, college students, small children... all Americans under attack by Trump's hate speech.
. People of color aren't intruders, they're fellow citizens who deserve our respect!
. My grandma used to tell me stories about her family's history in the South, how they had slaves and Native Americans living on their land back in the day. It's like, yeah, sure, we've been through some tough times, but that doesn't mean we're not a country for everyone 
. My cousin's brother-in-law is a construction worker from Mexico City, and he's been building homes here in the States for years without any issues 
. It's just not that simple to deport people because of their skin color or where they're from.
It's like 50% Latino, for crying out loud! The city's name is a reminder that there's been diversity here for centuries 
.
It's like, we're all in this together, folks! Climate change, healthcare, education... these are the real issues that need attention 
. Immigrants aren't the enemy, they're workers who deserve respect and fair treatment 
. We need to focus on real issues like climate change and healthcare instead of wasting time with xenophobic rhetoric 
. The fact that thousands have taken to the streets to defend their neighbors against ICE agents is a testament to the strength of American communities 
los angeles for example is literally 50% latino and we're not going anywhere so like what's the point of all these deportation efforts? 
did you know that la is like 50% latino already? like the citys name is a reminder of who was here first 
. It's just not true that immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans - in fact, many of them are working hard to build this country up 
it's like he thinks he can just erase all the history and diversity of this country. I mean, come on, LA is already a 50/50 Latino city, and you're trying to make it sound like immigrants are going to take over or something? 
and did you see that new White House doc? "we reject" renewable energy? like, what planet is he living on?
