Maiysha, as a Transgirl I have to thank you for this article. I came out 3 years ago knowing how often I am in danger because of who I am, but I know I am in no where in near as much danger as Transgirls of color.

I’m very disappointed in Adichie’s words. It just goes to show that even the most “woke” and intelligent amongst us have a lot to unpack.

Which proves what we’ve all known for quite some time: He’s this administration’s Barney Fife trying to solve a How to Get Away With Murder case.
Nailed it.
We need to stop being shocked that Trump is putting unqualified people in these positions because their whole objective is the deconstruction of the administrative state. Put simply, they don’t want these agencies run well. They want them gone.
