RFK Jr suspends campaign to 'throw support' behind Trump
Trump praises RFK Jr as "phenomenal" at a rally, but members of the Kennedy clan accuse him of "betrayal".
::: spoiler spoiler Robert F Kennedy Jr has said he is suspending his independent run for the US presidency and will back Donald Trump's campaign.
Mr Kennedy, 70, a Democrat for most of his life and the scion of the powerful Kennedy dynasty said the principles that had led him to leave the party had now compelled him "to throw my support to President Trump".

This framework has been one of the most detrimental frames that I think has ever emerged among Black folks, because using this frame, where, as you said in your intro, everyone is supposed to be anti-Black, including other colonized people. And so therefore the ability to empathize with other colonized people, to stand in solidarity with them, to build the kinds of coalitions we used to build as a normal part of the Black radical tradition has been undermined by the popularity of this frame. Emerging first in academia, where most of this backwardness develops, it then bleeds into our movement spaces.
