You will NEVER have the courage to "punch a Nazi" if you don't even have the stones to refuse to go to Christmas dinner if your brother's husband can't come too.

Please tell me what cis lawmakers would be risking by sneering in disgust and walking away from anyone misgendering Sarah McBride. You aren't challenging anyone to a duel here! This is just part of being a decent human being! A simple refusal to entertain nonsense.

That's where we have to intervene. We have to convince fearful people that it is WAY more dangerous to stay at the table because we're about to light that **** on fire. And we have to convince them that they are welcome to come back and fight alongside us later when they feel safe.

But this is about purging ALL of academia, government, the corporate world, and yes, the military of Black influence first and foremost.. but also women, LGBTQ, and the disabled.
It's about destroying these pipelines, salting the earth, then paving over the wreckage.

The point is, we are *ALL* being punished for letting a Black man lead white America for 8 years.
Trump and Musk represent a global white supremacist ideology that would rather destroy everything than let this happen ever again.
This is not something elite media likes to discuss.

In the episode, I talk about the Lily-white movement of the late 1800s, when white Republicans pushed Black people out of power in the South.
Then I go on history of Woodrow Wilson segregating the federal workforce in the mid 1910s, and the destruction of prosperous Black communities by white mobs
