Ah I had no idea about “grandfathered in” either. I also recently learned the racist origin of “brown bag”. Our company now uses “Lunch & Learn”. This fucking country, man. Thanks for stating the phrase. I couldn’t get those links to open.

Thanks for stating the phrase. I couldn’t get those links to open. Same. + overboard colorism! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brown_Paper_Bag_TestWhile most of us think of a “brown bag” as a lunchtime event we bring our own lunches too, this issue of colorism was specifically raised in our company when we began having anti racism lunchtime discussions. We decided having an Antiracism Brown Bag was insensitive as it brings up the painful connotation of the racist history of the brown bag test.

There is long sordid and shameful history with vaccinations and the Black American community. It’s not the same as anti-vaxxer Karen or Deep state Debbie. I know no one here was saying that, just wanted to provide some context. Also there have been many stories about vaccine hesitancy in the black community and not nearly enough about the group showing the greatest hesitancy: Republican men. The narratives that are out there are not balanced by the facts. So I think that was a very fair question being asked by the reporter. There should be a focus on radical, equitable accessibility of the vaccine.

I've seen a couple of tiktoks explaining this in just a couple of days and, to be honest, I had no idea this was the origin of the phrase and will definitely be removing it from my vernacular vm.tiktok.com/ZMeBhbXNy/You all are the only people I will watch the TikTok for.

I've also found some racial justice accounts who are incredibly generous with their time and energy on Tiktok. The only thing I think I've seen that was bad was someone dueting some bullshit and taking it down.

Correction added to Washington Post story on Trump call to Georgia election official.
Never easy to admit an error, for anyone. Even if this is going to add more fire to arguments about the influence of 'false news', I'm glad the Post didn't seek to minimize this issue. Trump should never have made such a call in any event, IMO, even if it were an innocuous thank you call.

I feel a way about letting reporters in facilities where minors are being held. I get it and understand the need for the public to know, but at some level it feels exploitative. I agree, but in this case I figure: what is happening is happening regardless of whether it's on camera. If it's on camera, hopefully people will finally get angry and there will be enough pressure to do something about it. Plus it will be well-documented for yet another horrible chapter in the 45 administration history books.

'Still, the Army’s initial impulse to consider refusing military involvement in the security arrangements — even though the Guard is trained to assist law enforcement during large-scale protests and has done so regularly for decades in the District — shows the extraordinary steps officials at the Pentagon were taking to stay away from what was shaping up to be a politically toxic and volatile moment for the nation.' Army initially pushed to deny District’s request for National Guard before Jan. 6 By Paul Sonne, Peter Hermann, Ellen Nakashima and Matt Zapotosky www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/capitol-riot-dc-national-guard-memo/2021/03/16/80949750-82de-11eb-bb5a-ad9a91faa4ef_story.html

That hotel vax event is fishy. Although if it helped people who work in low-paying service jobs (e.g. housekeepers at the hotel) get the vaccine, I would be ok with that. I guess I am curious about the word "staff" and who that entails.
With that said, it definitely doesn't sound like it would be part of any Protect Chicago Plus network. That's specifically for certain highest-risk South and West side neighborhoods.
