Right! Today we celebrate, congratulate and appreciate. Tomorrow, we must fight--not against division but white supremacy, not against patrioism but fascism, not against difference but dominance. We can never make peace with any of Trumpism. Nor abandon those most harmed by it.
Healing requires disinfecting the wound, not ignoring it. And holding those accountable for inflicting it. This emerging "let bygones be bygones" is why Black folks who saved the US the first time it broke lived in hell for a century after. Not even trying to do that again.

In today's @nytopinion, I wrote about the police killing of a Black woman in Texas named #AtatianaJefferson. If you have time, you should read it. And if it activates you, you should visit our #SayHerName webpage: aapf.org/shn-campaign 1/13
Almost 5 years ago, over 25,000 protesters surged through the streets for Millions March NYC, an anti-police brutality demonstration fueled in part by grand jury decisions not to indict police officers for the deaths of Eric Garner and Michael Brown. 2/13
What’s less known is that #SayHerName, a campaign to elevate the names of Black women, girls and femmes killed by police, also emerged from that moment. These names remain obscure--like India Beaty, Shelly Frey, Jessica Williams--even today. 3/13
