24. As we here all know, DEI was trying to help right hundreds of years of wrongs
Thu Feb 6, 2025, 11:30 AM
Feb 2025

I was promoting MLK in my schoolyard before they shot him.
Been fighting for this for a long time - but not nearly as long as those who really suffered.
You'd think the horrific shame of what has gone on would be enough.
But obviously, for Trumpsters, it is not. They want more - for it to continue. They can't hack the competition.

To see this effort by Trump et al, I'm sick about it.
Decades of efforts being rolled back and getting rid of the yardsticks to monitor it.

It will never work long term. Nature always finds a way to correct an imbalance.
The Trumpsters/MAGAts are too fucking ignorant and prejudiced to realize it until it is too late.

I'm getting so I can't read or watch the news anymore - frustrated that I can't find a meaningful way to fight back.
