Since 2001, more than 250 black @CapitolPolice officers have sued the department, alleging racism. Says one, alluding to the inauguration, “Now you got to go to work on the 20th and stand next to someone who you don’t even know if they have your back.”
See where this notes the Pentagon’s history of downplaying white nationalism and extremism immediately prior to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs saying, “These people are not representative of our country’s military.” Seems a bit premature to say that, no?

What we’re witnessing, yet again, is what happens when police receive all of the tools of war and virtually none of the accountability for the violence that they perpetrate.
She carried too much weight, and for too long. We should live in an America where we only need to send condolences to everyone who knew and loved Justice Ginsburg, and not to the nation and democracy as a whole. I wish that we could simply mourn her. Alas.
