Since you asked, I think it says you couldn't give a damn about the 35-45% of people in those states who consistently vote Democratic in federal elections, or the people in those states who are some of the most vulnerable populations in the country. twitter.com/4_the_babies/s…

“Robert Lumpkin was one of the South’s most prolific and brutal slave traders. Mary Lumpkin lived with him — and with the horror of who he was, bearing witness to the extreme punishments he meted out to enslaved people like her.” washingtonpost.com/history/2020/0…

This is a preposterous argument, a dressed-up version of Nixon's "when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal." It's a formula for authoritarianism. twitter.com/ABC/status/122…

I’ll probably write this take soon-ish but the reason race science never goes away is the same reason “bootstraps” ideology never goes away, they exist to naturalize relations of production and obscure their contingent, constructed nature.
