ICYMI: Kam took Truth or Trap to the streets to see who really knows their Black history.

When the data is this loud, there’s no room for spin.
Cuts to Black institutions? Deleted datasets? Banned books? That’s not a coincidence — that’s a coordinated rollback.
The Blackout Report laid out the receipts. Axios amplified it. Kam is breaking it all the way down.

Three-Fifths wasn’t a glitch. In fact, it feels eerily relevant today.
