And the gullible continue to fall victim. It's time to break the cycle of stupidity and return to the ambition of delivering transformative change.

THIS scares me and helps to insight the fire of taking action! Standupsters must act against such attacks!
***********************
Crystal Wilsey, a Cinnabon worker in Ashwaubenon, Wisconsin, was caught on video mocking a Somali woman’s hijab, hurling the N word at a Black Somali Muslim couple, and bluntly declaring that she is racist. The whole thing reportedly started over a simple request for more caramel on a cinnamon roll, which she escalated into an ugly rant targeting their race, religion, and immigrant background. After the video went viral, the franchise quickly fired her and the company publicly condemned her behavior.

Getting fired should have been the end of the story, but in today’s grievance economy it turned into a cash machine. A fundraiser for Wilsey on the conservative Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo has pulled in over 118,000 dollars, pitching her as a “hardworking white mom” betrayed by Cinnabon for not bowing to “intimidation.” That framing flips the script so the Somali couple who were insulted become the villains and the woman proudly calling herself racist is rebranded as a martyr of cancel culture, perfectly in step with Donald trump’s recent rant smearing Somalia as a garbage country that stinks.

The comments on the fundraiser read like a white resentment message board, not a charity page. Many donors cheer on her rant, repeat racist stereotypes about Somalis, and call for immigrants to be deported, echoing the same dehumanizing hate trump just aimed at Somalia, almost in real time. It is a snapshot of how open bigotry is not just tolerated but financially rewarded in parts of Christian nationalist America, where a president’s slurs become a permission structure for everyday cruelty and the actual targets are expected to quietly absorb the damage.

Netflix just gave Gavin Newsom 2 million for the redistricting fight and made a deal with Sesame Street. New episodes will air there and the backlog of old episodes will Be free to watch. Netflix is a Standupster, picked a side and stood by their pick.

Speaking out, fighting for those with no voice, those being discriminated against; being a Standupster is who I choose to be.

Today, UCLA took responsibility for its actions and inactions, reaching a settlement acknowledging that Jewish students were discriminated against as part of anti-Israel protests on campus.

During these protests, the school did more than stand idly by—UCLA staff members publicly supported the encampments and even allowed protestors to bar Jewish students from parts of campus, creating a “Jew Exclusion Zone.”

No member of a university community should ever face discrimination based on religion or national identity.
