They aren’t concerned about skill or competency — they’re concerned about skin complexion.
John, we need to talk about the blatant and disgusting displays of racism coming out of the Trump administration. ⬇️
Exhibit A:
No, it’s not just some random Twitter troll — it’s Trump’s new Acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy. 🤦🏽♀️
Putting someone who would say this in the administration completely lifts the veil on their DEI nonsense. They aren’t concerned about skill or competency — they’re concerned about skin complexion.
Will you rush a $3 donation to help Pramila fight back and build a government that recognizes the dignity and worth of all people?
Beattie isn’t qualified to serve in the State Department or any other federal agency. And unfortunately, he isn’t the only example of this.
Exhibit B:
But even though Marko Elez resigned when questioned about his racist beliefs, JD Vance, Elon Musk, and others are now calling for him to be re-hired. You really can’t make this stuff up.
This is who they are, John — and we have to confront that in order to make any of this better.
As an immigrant who arrived in the United States from India at the age of 16, this is personal for Pramila. She knows America was built on the idea of being a refuge for those in need, “the tired masses, yearning to breathe free.” And she won’t sit down while unrepentant racists try to destroy it.
But John, Pramila can’t do it alone. We ALL have to do our part to build a better future. Will you pitch in $3 or whatever you can today to help us grow our progressive movement and defeat MAGA for good?
