"Send her back." "Go back to where you came from." It's not just a matter of toning down the talk. No matter how hard, we need to engage those who are picking up these chants. Otherwise the chants themselves increase the belief in white supremacy. People of color love this country and belong here. Only Native Americans could have--should have--told my white immigrant ancestors to "leave" these shores.
Nancy Pelosi spoke clearly, carefully, courageously yesterday. She is acting wisely to go slow on impeachment, knowing Trump would turn the Senate's clearing him into his win. The time will come. In the meantime, we all need to be wise, very wise, and pay attention to what this administration is doing on all fronts to harm this nation and world. Our words and work do matter.
