The "why's" are important here: Trump's attacking equity to make it harder to hold the government & corporations accountable for the harm they do, particularly to communities of color.
But don't get it twisted, these actions make us all sicker and less economically secure π·π

Remote work doesn't thwart productivity. It boosts focus.
Government workers are 12% more productive when randomly assigned to work from home. They're more efficient where it's quiet.
Most people aren't shirking from home. They're escaping distractions and long commutes.

Why we have to keep talking about reparations in 2025
Reparations for Black Americansβwhether for chattel slavery at the federal level or more local forms of redress for past harm at the state and municipal levelsβhave long been dismissed as unrealistic ...
