To End Systemic Racism, Ensure Systemic Equality
ReNika Moore | aclu.org | 2021-02-09
Over the past four years, we grew accustomed to a regular barrage of blatant, segregationist-style racism from the White House. Donald Trump tweeted that "the Squad," four Democratic Congresswomen who are Black, Latinx, and South Asian, should "go back" to the "corrupt" countries they came from; that same year, he called Elizabeth Warren "Pocahontas," mocking her belief that she might be descended from Native American ancestors. But as outrageous as the racist comments Trump regularly spewed were, the racially…

Proof That the US November Election Was Stolen Exists in Abundance

In Michigan the state attorney general is attempting to debar attorneys who represented cases of electoral theft.
