Too many of y'all are ignoring the day to day impact of having white nationalists running the nation, especially on Black folks and our children.
Since Trump returned to office, the Education Department’s civil rights office has not resolved a single racial harassment investigation.

It sends a message that “people impacted by racial discrimination ... don’t matter,” one attorney said.

It’s not that we talk about “identity” & “race” too much. It’s that they wanted to hijack the language,legitimacy & infrastructure we created to vindicate the rights of Black people & women for THEIR race & identity.

It's the same mentality Bernie Sanders has about racism: if we can just find The Blacks some jobs, then White people won't hate The Blacks. That's not how it works.

The US killed journalism on November 8, 2016.
Unfortunately, in US journalism it is considered neutral to spread a lie, but it is considered "biased" to call out a lie. So, there is a structural asymmetry that rewards colorful lies with virality.

Anyone complaining about Dems not doing enough, isn't following enough Dems on social media.

Rep. Lauren Underwood has been a standout since she took office.

Follow more Dems and learn what they are doing.
