Fellow whites,
It's on us to dismantle white supremacy. After the election, we see how badly we failed. Last year, I put out a blog series on antiracism basics. Read, share, maybe we can help white people see there's nothing to be scared of racial equity.

If Black women ever decided to sit this out, the Democratic Party wouldn’t struggle, it would stop functioning.
And yet their leadership is still treated as optional.

When ‘Electability’ Is the Excuse
We say “Black women are the backbone of the Democratic Party.” But there’s also an unspoken rule that comes with it. The praise is fine. The power is not.

I’ve represented multiple parents whose children were kidnapped by I.C.E.
and who are being instructed to come to a D.H.S. facility to claim them—
—a trap, set for parents who happen to be undocumented.

Some day ICE agents are going to have to defend themselves, whether in this life, or the next. I suspect it won't go well for them...They do have a chance still, to walk away from this choice they've made...

UCLA just fired me—the only administrator tasked with fighting racism—over posts about Charlie Kirk.
My posts drew attention only b/c I'm a "DEI" worker;
to be clear, the same demographic hurling death threats at me were also complaining to UCLA.
UCLA ultimately capitulated and terminated me.
