It's a lie. The story that white supremacy has its knee on the neck of Black America is simply false.

The idea that a black person dare not step from their door for fear that the police would round you up or gun you down or bludging you to death is simply ridiculous.

That's like not going outside for fear that I'll be struck by lightning.

The ten dentious interpretation of every one of these incidents of police and African American

encounter, such that it is red as if it were the latter day instantiation of the lynching

of Emmett Till is clearly preposterous.

And now the good fight with Yasha Monk. Over the last month's

last month's Donald Trump has staged an unprecedented attack on our democracy. He has refused to accept the outcome of a free and fair election.

He has spread wild conspiracy theories and in the last days he has even summoned a mob of

insurrectionists to Washington DC D.C. a mob which ultimately assorted and invaded the

capital stopping elected representatives from doing their job.

If there was a magic want I could wave to remove Trump from office

and make sure that we never have to hear from him or his most fervent supporters again my arm would now be in need of urgent medical attention.

But there isn't all of the realistic paths for removing Trump from office are likely to fail and to have big adverse consequences.

So I understand why so many Democratic leaders

on Congress, I understand why so many writers who I trust admire many members of

Persuasion's Board of Advisors have called for Trump to be impeached or for the

Cabinet to exercise the 25th Amendment But I think it would be a big mistake. Here's why.

The 25th Amendment would have the advantage that it would be many of Trump's own

appointees starting those proceedings.

So it wouldn't be a completely partisan action from the beginning,

but it has two big disadvantages.
