Nondisabled people got asked to stay home for two weeks and wear a mask for a handful of months and went and did a fascism about it.
Sincerely, folks in the dominant (especially white) paradigm can’t stand the idea of taking care of each other. They’d rather destroy themselves.

Sometimes I think about what I learned from RWA and what it means for this country, and the lesson I learned is that some white people would rather burn down everything they have than be inclusive.

Would this be a similar social crisis if it happened to women consistently for decades and decades and decades, and would it be appropriate in that case to take countervailing action rather than categorically oppose all countervailing action, is a question that occurs to me for no particular reason

Being a Black person and being a woman makes a person DEI, apparently. Not a DEI hire, but DEI itself. Per the NYT.
By accepting Trump’s anti-Black premise and regurgitating the narrative that equates anything Black as DEI, the NY Times has become part of the propaganda machine

In reality, the Nahua peoples who spoke of "Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl" didn't use that name for what's now the Gulf of Mexico. Instead, that name means "the Fresh Water of Chalchiuhtlicue," and it refers to her mansion in the midst of the cosmic sea, to the east the sea-ringed world.

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

You can also contact agency headquarters at 202-208-6843. Otherwise your response has to be collected by Stonewall, then sent to Region 1, and it may be a while before it hits NPS leadership.
