*This* was an outstanding episode/conversation. This hit hard: "...we all knew the backlash was coming...most of what happened in 2020 was performative...[no] ..societal or structural [changes] that people were asking for..we got symbolic victories and now were being met with structural resistance."
My friend and colleague Wesley Morris and I had a very sobering conversation about America since the 1619 Project published and how it feels to be falling back under the veil that W.E.B. Du Bois so mournfully wrote about. I hope you’ll listen to this episode of Cannonball @nytimes.com

Naomi Osaka’s reaction after beating Coco Gauff at the U.S. Open
You can tell she has so much respect for Coco
She just reached her first Grand Slam QF since in 4.5 years
But she didn’t do a huge celebration
Just a smile & a great hug at the net 🥹

I did promise that Republican states that capitulate to Trump's demands to illegally gerrymander their maps will be sued. And history shows I never bluff and usually win.
I also said that there are only two types of GOP officials -- proud MAGA and scared MAGA. That is true.

Equity is not a marxist term. Equity is required and should be demanded. We should stop trying to roll back American history and recognize the harms caused to many and the inequities many still deal with to this day.
