I had family in the holocaust loose their lives because of their religion and their appearance. Some escaped and came to America through Mexico because they thought they could escape persecution and live the American dream. Without their sacrifice I wouldn’t be here today and I’m sure if they were still alive they would identify these “detention centers” as what they really are; concentration camps. People are missing, getting beat, not being fed enough, stuffed in cramped cells all because they came to America with a dream. I beg of whoever is reading this to use their voice and stand up against facist policies. As they said with the holocaust, “ they didn’t come for me but my neighbors so I did nothing, then they came for the baker and my friends. Yet I still did nothing. Then they came for me and nobody was there to stop them.” They will not stop until “white america” is created just as the nazis wanted to”blue eyes and blonde hair white people”. Do not stand by and watch, make a difference or be complacent.
Jillian supported: Stop Indiana From Opening the ‘Speedway Slammer’ ICE Detention CenterAs a woman who has been around transgender children and adults, many of whom we have lost this year already to suicide alone, minus the four murdered. We yell God doesn't make mistakes, yet the children born with visual disabilities will be helped while the child born with gender dysphoria, will be mocked and slandered and denied care. Thanks Nickie, for shedding wonderful light on a community of people who just want to exist with less gender affirming care than you, but for transgender people, gender affirming care is actually life saving.
Raven supported: Deport Nicki Minaj back to TrinidadI’m from Trinidad, and I’m tired of Nicki Minaj using Trinidadian identity when it suits her while embarrassing the culture on a global stage. She benefits from Caribbean roots, accent, and imagery, but consistently moves in ways that contradict the values of accountability, community, and respect that many of us were raised with.
Nicki Minaj has repeatedly defended and protected men accused or convicted of serious sexual crimes, including her husband, instead of standing with victims. She has used her massive platform to intimidate critics and journalists, harass other women in the industry, and silence people who speak out. On top of that, she spread blatant COVID-19 misinformation to millions, refusing to take responsibility even when public health officials had to correct her claims.
This isn’t “being misunderstood.” This is a pattern of choosing ego over truth and loyalty to harmful people over basic decency. Fame doesn’t excuse that. Influence makes it worse.
When people say she should be deported back to Trinidad, it’s not about immigration law, it’s about accountability. If you’re going to constantly shout out Trinidad, wave the flag, and profit off Caribbean culture, then you should be held to the standards that come with it. You don’t get to pick and choose the parts of your identity that benefit you while ignoring the responsibility that comes with representing millions of people.
Nicki Minaj doesn’t just represent herself anymore, and the way she moves reflects badly on the culture she claims. If you’re going to claim Trinidad so loudly, then stand on principles, or stop using us as a brand
Rokia supported: Deport Nicki Minaj back to TrinidadAs an afro latina and caribeña who grew up listening to Nicki’s music and feeling empowered by her art and inspired by her style, I’m appalled by her recent claims. I stopped being a “barb” a long time ago due to her transphobia, apologist nature, misogyny and overall downgrade as a person and artist, but now, more than ever, I feel that Nicki the Homophobic Barbie has GOT to go. We need to make an example out of her.
