“The Klan monument is run by slave labor” is a little too on the fucking nose

New: I wrote about how the SPLC let union breaking and fear of MAGA drive it away from its own civil rights principles. After I spoke up about Gaza, the SPLC disciplined me and terminated my employment—leading to a discrimination settlement: substack.com/home/post/p-...

During WWII, the federal government under FDR used defense funds to build childcare centers in 600+ communities nationwide. We’ve done this before. This administration is choosing not to.

One way or another, this country is going to learn that accommodating white supremacist ideology will destroy this country. It did so once before and is doing so again. Is this country really prepared to allow our military to be DESTROYED by racism & sexism. Are we watching this like a TV show?

Sigh. Even this snarky "Louis CK never got cancelled" article unwittingly whitewashes his reputation. CK never "confirmed the allegations were true." He ignored some, misrepresented others. He never came clean. Never admitted the full extent of his misconduct. He threw his accusers under the bus.
