National Park Service Edits KKK Murder of Civil Rights Activist

In 1963, NAACP field secretary Medgar Evers was gunned down outside of his own Mississippi home by Byron De La Beckwith, a Ku Klux Klan member. Now the Trump administration wants the National Park Service to stop calling Beckwith a racist. Anonymous Park Service officials told Mississippi Today that they were being ordered to make ahistorical and incredibly political omissions to the brochure that accompanies the Medgar & Myrlie Evers Home National Monument. The original brochure stated that Beckwith was part of “the racist and segregationist White Citizens’ Council,” but it has now been removed from the monument.If shooting Evers wasn’t evidence enough for Beckwith’s deep racism, his past interviews certainly are. An interview he did in 1990—four years before he was actually convicted for his 1963 murder—sees him calling the racist White Citizens’ Council “the first ray of light Dixie had seen since we fought through Reconstruction and captured the right to vote, the right of white people to run the South.”“N—s are beasts. It says so here in the book of Adam,” he said in the same interview. Beckwith, who also belonged to the White Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, still called Evers a “mongrel” over 30 years after killing him, adding that “God hates mongrels.” This is the legacy that President Trump is choosing to obscure as part of his “Restoring Truth and Sanity in America” executive order, an all-out disinformation campaign against any history that is honest about the oppressive actions of white Americans. Under the same act, the Trump administration removed a picture of Harriet Tubman from the National Park Service page on the Underground Railroad and changed the words “enslaved African Americans” to “enslaved workers.” It also removed a section that discussed Benjamin Franklin being a slave owner.“You can talk about Martin Luther King Jr. overcoming.… You just can’t talk about what he overcame,” said Alan Spears, senior director for cultural resources at the National Parks Conservation Association. “It’s turning the assassination of Medgar Evers into something that is bloodless and had no impact. We can talk about him being a wonderful veteran, but not about what it cost him. He gave the last full measure of devotion, and now we want to ignore that.”The Trump administration wants you to forget that Evers was murdered for his activism by a man who did not think Black people were dignified human beings. Don’t let them.

Trump Just Gave Us the Worst January Since the Great Recession

Donald Trump’s economy has led to the worst January in job cuts since the Great Recession in 2009.U.S.-based employers laid off 108,435 employees last month, three times as many as in December and twice as many as January 2025, according to a monthly report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a firm that helps executives transition to new jobs. The country hasn’t had a January this bad in seven years, the report said.Two companies are responsible for 40 percent of these job losses: Amazon, which cut 16,000 jobs, and UPS, which cut 30,000 jobs. The cuts are even related: UPS’s cuts are connected to how it is winding down a delivery agreement with Amazon.The most layoffs were seen in five industries: transportation, technology, health care, chemical manufacturing, and financial.“Generally, we see a high number of job cuts in the first quarter, but this is a high total for January,” said Andy Challenger, the firm’s chief revenue officer, in a statement. “It means most of these plans were set at the end of 2025, signaling employers are less than optimistic about the outlook for 2026.”The report attributes 30,784 of the job losses to ending contracts, such as that of UPS. Market and economic conditions led to 28,392 layoffs, 20,044 were caused by restructuring, and 12,738 were due to closures. AI was responsible for 7,624 job cuts, and tariffs were only attributable to 294 last month.Meanwhile, job creation did not come close to mitigating these layoffs. The payroll processing firm ADP announced only 22,000 jobs were created last month, the weakest numbers in three months and the worst January since the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021. Most of those job gains came from hiring in the health care industry, and came after 2025 had the weakest annual job growth in 22 years. Unemployment is also up, with 231,000 claims filed in the last week of January, an eight-week high, according to the Department of Labor.All of this belies Trump’s claims that everything is going well and that his policies are good for American businesses and workers. His administration has resorted to pushing fake statistics to prop up its claims, but Trump can’t cover up the fact that more and more Americans are struggling to afford basic needs. All of this bad news is self-inflicted, as Trump has sabotaged an economy that was actually much better under Biden.
