Another powerful post. Had to be difficult to write, but thanks for doing it.

January 6, 2021 lives in infamy.

Evidence of a broken democracy where a broken justice system convicted lesser criminals, but let a felon and the instigator of insurrection walk, only to be enabled to return to likely pardon other criminals.

This is the height of white privilege and the fruit of white supremacy.

Soon after I started following you I read David Zucchino’s book about the Wilmington massacre. What struck me then was how the white supremacist rhetoric published in the Redeemer’s “newspaper” sounded exactly the same as what comes out of the mouths of Trump and his cohorts. Just as an experiment I typed out - verbatim - some of the quotes in the book and dropped them in conversations with conservatives. To a person, most asked me which Fox News personality “said that.” I didn’t know whether to scream or cry.
