We are in a new era of The Right undoing Civil Rights.

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

We know now that what they're coming after is not one form of thinking. It's not Black history, it's not intersectionality, it's not critical race theory. They're coming after the entire infrastructure that has been created from the civil rights movement.

Headline "Harvard DISBANDS Program" was more honest until "University spokesperson" forced "Harvard OUTSOURCES Program" change. Who's following the "outsourcers"? Repression is here. #Harvard #BLM

[The Harvard Crimson @thecrimson]

Harvard has laid off the staff of the Harvard Slavery Remembrance Program, the project tasked with identifying descendants of those enslaved by Harvard affiliates, opting instead to outsource the work.

@neilhshah15 reports.

@RichardPCondon Yikes. Unsurprising from MTG, but the HGTV Hallmark Channel aesthetic is obviously meant to mainstream this. So-- yikes.

This stockpot used to cook collard greens at DC’s @FloridaAveGrill.
