It’s abt erasing Black history. Imagine wanting to remove Medgar Evers’ name from a naval ship-a man who fought racism & tyranny & was murdered by a White supremacist, but wanting to name a whole military base after Robert E. Lee, a man who enslaved hundreds of people & was a traitor to this nation.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government. But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes. Where is the outrage over that?

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans. Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

Every person in the real estate and lending industries must fight for transparent and equitable listings for residential properties. It's an easy way to help advance Fair Housing. Private listings distort markets and support discrimination. We need democracy in housing. www.inman.com/2025/04/28/f...

The Trump Administration clearly promotes the use of race-conscious programs that benefit Whites, including Whites that have benefited from decades of Apartheid policies, but opposes mechanisms, like disparate impact & anti-racism programs that stop discrimination against Black people.
