The NYT is running a story tonight, on Trump’s renewed effort to attack anything that might let less fortunate people get even a toe-hold — in our economy… still by far, the most vibrant, and strongest — on the planet.
It is important to note that everything Trump says about what he calls “woke”… is a bold-faced lie.
It is important to note that, at base — it is simply his thin veneer… to dress up his openly racist-, and misogynistic- world views. We must… peacefully… resist.
That is what Dr. King would have urged — and that is ultimately, what got him killed — seeking a toe-hold, for brown and Black garbage pickers, in Memphis — simply seeking living wages. Do not buy Trump’s ugly lies. Here’s some of the NYT‘s coverage:
…Trump used his proposed budget for next year to continue his aggressive targeting of federal programs aimed at promoting diversity, helping Black and Hispanic students, and boosting minority-owned businesses, all initiatives the president derides as “woke.”
In section after section of his budget request, Mr. Trump sought to cut programs he connects to diversity, equity and inclusion programs…. The proposed cuts, which are tiny compared with the $1.5 trillion budget he suggested for the military, reflect the president’s focus on stamping out federal initiatives created to support disadvantaged groups….
The small gains won, by Dr. King, in short, as well. To honor his legacy — do go out and resist this.
Damn. Onward, resolutely — just the same.
