Disgust isn't a strong enough word to describe what we saw come out of the White House during the first week of Black History Month. This week, the Drs provide the history of ape imagery and how this adds to the list of rac*st behavior by 45/47. They also circle back to the SAVE Act which grapples AGAIN with voter access and rules regarding ID that affect Americans on the margins. Oh, and they WON'T entertain the Super Bowl conversations about Benito, but do talk about language privilege. Quizás a partir de ahora traduciremos las notas del programa al español. ¿Qué te parece? 😏
