The reckoning cannot stop at just the last few months and years. It must take account for the last few centuries and get at the foundation of American fascism. That means righting the ongoing wrongs stemming from enslavement, genocide & Jim Crow, so we can finally repair and stop repeating history.

We need to start a tracking list now of all of the actors complicit in the MAGA regime's crimes against people at home & abroad so they can be brought to justice in tribunals after its fall.
I'm talking all officials, corporations, propagandists etc who enforced white supremacist authoritarianism.

For years, the wealthy white few have stoked resentment against Black ppl to justify destroying social supports that actually minimize inequality.
When in fact it’s Black-led movements like the civil rights struggle that created programs like Medicare & Medicaid that benefit millions of families.

Trump’s pro-apartheid pick made clear this regime wants a return to the heyday of Jim Crow in this country.
This nomination comes days after the regime urged MAGA justices on SCOTUS to destroy the Voting Rights Act.
What we fail to reckon with and repair from our past, we repeat.

So you should really watch this. Just 2 minutes. But a window into the truly radical nature of the people Trump is nominating.
When pressed today, the nominee to be Ambassador to South Africa refuses to oppose reinstituting laws to prevent black people from voting in America.
