On Friday, the day SNAP benefits ran out, Trump threw a Great Gatsby-themed party. Remember Fitzgerald’s line about Tom and Daisy—careless people who smashed things up, then retreated into their wealth, letting others clean up the messes. 40% of Americans earn less than $66,000.

there are tanks patrolling around Main street USA in an attempt to terrorize its own people, masked men with sub-standard training permitted to racially profile us at a whim, pregnant women experiencing incarceration horrors in captivity and the people who voted for it want you to be nice to them.

we're just on the cusp of "Hoovervilles".

As a rule, I as a Black man have never once been like "gee, let's hear out the guy with a Nazi tattoo." The idea that (white) people can be so value neutral about this is in and of itself a concerning tell. Hard to trust that.
