Thanks for the memory of the origin of the “Black Lives Matter” phrase. Remember thinking it was very well phrased, but the outrage at the injustice faded, sporadically rekindled and hopefully now established to the point of some actions to resolve or set our path to resolve these injustices. Maybe an excellent start is the take down of Tucker Carlson.

Thanks for your efforts

I also hope that Carlson saying the implicit racism of conservatism explicitly, without "the pretense of politeness", represents the reactionary flailing of a dying white supremacist ideology. But then I still see white supremacism being dangerously normalized so long as it is dressed up in more respectable clothing-- i.e. The New York Times' Tom Cotton Op-Ed, which was a disgusting, authoritarian call for the military to INVADE US cities treated like a legitimate opinion.
