Biden recalls seeing ‘colored kids’ on segregated bus during his youth in post-presidency speech

Former President Joe Biden, while reflecting on his youth and witnessing segregation firsthand, referred to Black students as «colored kids» in his first major address since exiting the Oval Office.
«We lived in an apartment complex, and she’d [Biden’s mom] drive us only about half a mile to Holy Rosary School in Claymont. But it was so dangerous, she wouldn’t let us walk up,» Biden said Tuesday evening while delivering a speech on the Social Security Administration before a disability advocacy conference in Chicago.
«There were hardly any Black people in Scranton at the time … and I was only going into fourth grade. And I remember seeing kids going by, at the time called colored kids, on a bus going by,» Biden added in his anecdote to explain the importance of civil rights laws to him and why he got involved in politics.
The 46th president was reflecting on how his family moved from Scranton, Pennsylvania, to Wilmington, Delaware, when he was in fourth grade and how he witnessed segregated schools in the nation’s second-smallest state.
BIDEN RETURNS TO PODIUM FOR FIRST TIME TO SLAM TRUMP’S SOCIAL SECURITY PLANS: ‘WRECK IT SO THEY COULD ROB IT’

«They never turned right to go to Claymont High School,» Biden said of Black students not attending a White school. «I asked my mom why? Why? In Delaware, they’re not allowed to go to school in public school with White kids.
«And it sparked my sense of outrage as a kid, just like it does 1744777786.»
The Supreme Court effectively ended segregation in public schools across the country in the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.
BIDEN AIDES ‘SCRIPTED’ EVERYTHING, ALLOWED HIS FACULTIES TO ‘ATROPHY,’ NEW BOOK CLAIMS
The former president joined the Advocates, Counselors and Representatives for the Disabled (ACRD) conference in Chicago Tuesday evening, where he received the «beacon of hope award» for his accomplishments as president and addressed the gathering about the Social Security Administration, including attacking the Trump administration for its policies.
«Why are these guys taking aim at Social Security now?» Biden asked, referring to the Trump administration. «Well, they’re following that old line from tech startups. The quote is ‘move fast, break things.’ They’re certainly breaking things. They’re shooting first and aiming later.
«The result is a lot of needless pain and sleepless nights.»

Biden added that the Trump administration is looking to «wreck» Social Security to «rob it.»
«My friend, Gov. O’Malley, knows what they’re really up to. He says, and I love his quote, ‘They want to wreck it so they could rob it.’ They want to wreck it so they could rob it. Why do they want to rob it? In order to deliver huge tax cuts to billionaires and big corporations and keep it going. They want to make permanent the 2017 tax cuts, which overwhelmingly benefits the wealthiest Americans and the biggest corporations. That’s going to cost $5 trillion. Where are they going to get $5 trillion to pay for (it) when they continue to run the deficit up?
BIDEN’S TEAM HID THE TRUTH ABOUT HIS HEALTH ALL ALONG: WH PRESS SEC
«What they always do … by running up the national debt, No. 1. Then by taking the money from someplace else. What are the two big pots of money out there in raw numbers? Social Security and Medicaid. …. Republicans, these guys are willing to hurt the middle class and the working class in order to deliver significant, greater wealth to their already very wealthy. Who in the hell do they think they are?»
The Trump administration has cut about 7,000 Social Security Administration staffers since taking office as part of its mission to cut government fat and bureaucracy and realign agencies with «America First» policies. Democrats have slammed President Donald Trump over the cuts, claiming he will cut Social Security benefits to seniors.
The White House has repeatedly rejected claims that the Trump administration will cut such benefits, vowing to «always protect» Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid benefits.
The Trump administration’s official Social Security X account responded after the speech that «Biden is lying to Americans,» before providing a detailed list of «facts,» including that Trump has repeatedly pledged to protect benefits and that no field office has been closed since Jan. 20.

El régimen de Irán amenazó con tomar “fuertes represalias” si el OIEA aprueba alguna resolución en su contra

El régimen de Irán advirtió que tomará represalias y reducirá significativamente su nivel de cooperación con el Organismo Internacional de Energía Atómica (OIEA) si la Junta de Gobernadores de dicha entidad aprueba una resolución en su contra. La medida, impulsada por el Reino Unido, Francia y Alemania —con apoyo de Estados Unidos—, podría intensificar aún más las tensiones sobre el programa nuclear iraní, cuya naturaleza pacífica no puede ser confirmada por el organismo de la ONU.
“Ciertamente, el OIEA no debe esperar que la República Islámica continúe su amplia y amistosa cooperación”, declaró el portavoz de la Organización de Energía Atómica de Irán, Behrouz Kamalvandi, en una entrevista con la televisión estatal iraní. El funcionario confirmó que su país ha preparado una lista de medidas técnicas y diplomáticas en respuesta a una eventual resolución crítica por parte del organismo.
En el centro de la disputa se encuentra el nivel de enriquecimiento de uranio que ha alcanzado Irán. Según el último informe técnico del OIEA, publicado el 31 de mayo, Teherán casi duplicó entre febrero y mayo la producción de uranio enriquecido al 60 %, acumulando 408,6 kilogramos, un nivel muy cercano al requerido para el uso militar. La agencia sostiene que “la rápida acumulación de uranio altamente enriquecido es motivo de grave preocupación” y ha dificultado las inspecciones técnicas.

El informe advierte además que Irán no ha proporcionado respuestas “técnicamente creíbles” sobre la presencia de material nuclear no declarado en al menos tres sitios específicos: Lavisan-Shian, Varamin y Turquzabad. En dichos lugares, el gobierno iraní habría realizado limpiezas que obstaculizaron las verificaciones del organismo.
“El Organismo no está en condiciones de garantizar que el programa nuclear de Irán sea exclusivamente pacífico”, concluyó el OIEA en su evaluación, y subrayó que, a pesar de ciertos avances en temas rutinarios de salvaguardias, la cooperación iraní ha sido “menos que satisfactoria” en los temas sustantivos.
Frente a la posibilidad de una nueva resolución crítica, Abás Araqchí, ministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Irán, escribió en la red social X que “Irán reaccionará enérgicamente contra cualquier violación de sus derechos”. Acusó al E3 —como se conoce al grupo formado por Reino Unido, Alemania y Francia— de “optar por una acción maligna” en lugar de actuar de buena fe. “Acusar falsamente a Irán de violar las salvaguardias, basándose en información de mala calidad y politizada, está claramente diseñado para provocar una crisis”, afirmó el diplomático.
Estas advertencias llegan días antes de la reunión de la Junta de Gobernadores del OIEA, que comenzará este 9 de junio en Viena. En esta instancia, los Estados miembros evaluarán el informe de 22 páginas elaborado por el organismo, que repasa las actividades e inspecciones realizadas en Irán durante los últimos años.

En caso de aprobarse una resolución de condena, esta podría ser remitida al Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, que tendría la facultad de reactivar sanciones internacionales suspendidas bajo el acuerdo nuclear de 2015.
Ese pacto, conocido como el Plan de Acción Integral Conjunto (JCPOA), fue abandonado unilateralmente por Estados Unidos en 2018 bajo la administración de Donald Trump. Desde entonces, Irán ha ido reduciendo progresivamente su cumplimiento de los compromisos nucleares, especialmente tras la imposición de nuevas sanciones económicas por parte de Washington.
Desde el 12 de abril, Teherán y Washington han sostenido cinco rondas de conversaciones indirectas en Omán, con el objetivo de restablecer un marco de control sobre el programa nuclear iraní. Sin embargo, las diferencias siguen siendo significativas. Estados Unidos exige que Irán detenga su enriquecimiento de uranio a niveles cercanos al umbral militar, mientras que Irán reclama garantías sobre el levantamiento de sanciones y el respeto a sus derechos soberanos.

En su intervención pública del domingo, Kamalvandi recordó que Irán ya ha reaccionado con firmeza en el pasado ante medidas similares. “Multiplicamos por siete la producción de enriquecimiento al 60 %” tras la aprobación de una resolución crítica en noviembre de 2024, indicó. En esa ocasión, Teherán también reactivó miles de centrifugadoras avanzadas como señal de desafío.
El director general del OIEA, Rafael Grossi, reiteró este sábado su “llamamiento urgente a Irán para que coopere plena y eficazmente con el Organismo”. Advirtió que sin dicha colaboración, el OIEA no podrá verificar si el material nuclear no declarado fue utilizado, mezclado con otro material o permanece fuera del control de salvaguardias internacionales.
