Reactionaries will claim progressives "make everything about race" and then view any white person as neutral and any non-white person as political correctness
Just thinking this morning about how many women are forced to serve up the most intimate and horrible moments of their pasts because people blast through a veritable thicket of red flags in support of a political candidate, and in retaliation, they are smeared and harassed.

The U.S. Forest Service has proposed budget cuts and is undergoing structural changes that critics say could hollow out its ability to carry out its mission.
Cut and reframed, what will remain of the Forest Service?
Significant changes may leave the agency present in structure but diminished in function

This Is the Issue That Must Unite Democrats—and It Isn’t Donald Trump
