depressing and anger making on rachel - how repubs have declared war on black

people. I suppose one of our internet wonders will post that segment soon enough.

The map graphic showing states going from mixed to total red really drove home the problem.
The list shows many of the black officials fired for no cause other than working while black.

democrats as a party need to use this as a major issue, a primary domestic issue, more important than the price of gas or eggs.

one supposes these republican changes will also affect latino and asian populations. will they respond with appropriate anger?

feeling sad at the moment.

We talk a lot about what’s going on..get excited when things go our way and now we’re feeling like we’re gonna explode. We worked together and had a union that honored DEI before we knew it had a name..equality was in our company’s DNA. We walked picket lines together, walked for United Negro College fund scholarships back in the day. I learned a lot with her and we’re now so angry for our grandkids and may just have to dust off our marching shoes one more time for them. We’re ready.

Then they came for me
And there was no one left
To speak out for me
