On May 25, 2025, the New York Times published a piece by Erica Green, who “covers the White House and reported from Washington,” titled “For Trump, Civil Rights Protections Should Help White Men,” with the subtitle “Administration officials pick and choose which civil rights protections they want to enforce, and for whom.” My head nearly exploded reading this thing.
The featured photograph at the top of the article, showing President Trump walking towards Marine One, has the following caption: “President Trump has turned to civil rights protections in recent weeks to remedy what he sees as the disenfranchisement of white men.”
