But We’re Not Folding. We’re Mobilizing.
Kinfolk, let’s keep it all the way💯.
They’re not just rolling back DEI—they’re trying to re-roll the Civil Rights era, in reverse.
The Trump playbook is clear: Kill equity. Silence dissent. Rewrite the truth.
And now? Corporations are caving, education is under siege, and even the word “diversity” is being erased like chalk on a plantation wall.
But this ain’t 1965. We remember what it took to march from Selma to Montgomery—and we’re bringing that energy back. Times ten.
This ain’t the time for think pieces.
This is the time for boycotts, ballot boxes, and Black-led media that don’t flinch.
So here’s your daily download of the real, the raw, and the revolutionary—served hot.
Because they want our history sanitized, our power diluted, and our future denied.
But we trap the lies before they trend.
We stay woke so our kin can rest.
Let’s own this day—together.

1. The Anti-DEI Regime Is Here. And It’s Moving Fast.
Trump’s right-wing rollback of DEI is no longer theoretical—it’s corporate reality.
Walmart? Rolled back.
KPMG? Scrubbed their DEI site.
Meta? Disbanded internal equity teams.
MLB? Removed diversity language from careers page.
This isn’t just performative. It’s systemic. It’s white backlash in high gear.
🔗 Meanwhile, Rev. Al is organizing a national economic resistance strategy, pushing for coordinated boycotts of companies bowing to political pressure.

2. Montgomery March Turns 60—But What Has Changed?
1965: Dr. King, John Lewis, and thousands of Black folks risked their lives marching from Selma to Montgomery for voting rights.
2025: Those same rights are under assault—state by state, law by law.
3. California Just Got Real About Reparations
While Washington tries to ghost DEI, California is saying cut the check—or at least start the policy pipeline.
Here’s what’s in the reparations bill package:
Free or prioritized access to state universities for descendants of the enslaved
Mandatory curriculum on slavery, redlining, and racial violence
Racial equity audits on all state agency policies
Housing & wealth data transparency for Black communities
This ain’t symbolism. This is structure.
💡 Real Talk Rundown:
These bills were built on the historic California Reparations Task Force report (2023)
GOP is already mobilizing backlash campaigns—expect legal challenges, voter referendums, and Fox News smear jobs
The question: Who’s next after Cali?
4. Department of Education = Gone? Ohio GOP Co-Signs Trump’s Plan
Trump just dropped the most aggressive education rollback in modern history: eliminating the federal Department of Education.
Ohio Republicans? Cheering like it’s Sunday at church.
