Eddie, sir, your voice and your thoughts are so necessary. We need these thoughts. We need to be stidently opposed to this chicanery and not to be consumed by it. Thank you. Get better!!!

They want brown people promoted based on "merit" ... but they will keep elevating their own via unconscious bias, family inheritance, legacy adnissions, the good ole boy network, and nepotism. The original DEI.

Thank you for your eloquent analysis and for giving us hope. 🙏🏽

elie mystal "https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/trump-birthright-citizenship-executive-order/" is a must read as we look at the strikes against africa-americans and civil rights are torn down ,it might be thought DEI is a strike against work,but its equally a strike against all minority groups :( - not sure the dems have got this - they have no leader or plan yet :(

Get well Eddie. You and many others will be needed for the coming disputes. I have been impressed that many organizations have active plans and actions to halt what is being attempted. These organizations are countering quickly. But the Democratic Party is reeling. We need new, younger, and more vigorous leadership. The membership wants action. They want to see some fight. The Party must go in 100% for working people. I know many seek your outlook and opinions. Sir if you can, please push leadership to move. This is a time to act. These ARE NOT politics as usual. Thanks for your efforts. Be well.

Let’s treat Trump’s negativity like a collect call, we won’t accept it!
