This country does not *have* to be this broken. But it will remain so as long as it continues to self soothe with white supremacist mythology instead of reckoning with truth.
You can't fix something that you refuse to acknowledge is broken.

Joe has GOT to cut the "this is not who we are" stuff.

It's fundamentally ahistorical. The KKK used to openly march down Pennsylvania gotdamn avenue FFS
"To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, to mock me...?”

No. Of course not.
But we never really did have a meaningful discussion of how someone with that sort of formative experience might lead, and how different it is from 1-45.
And he's simply an example. There was a whole list of Shitty Media Men, remember?
What are the outward ramifications when antipathy to women is simply normalized?
That antipathy becomes institutionalized, and it shows up in who and what we take seriously, and what we do not.
This is a place that gave a home to a Central Park monument to a man who tortured Black women he owned, without anesthesia, and called it gynecology

How I created content in 2020
A thread...
Back in Aug 2016, I started creating content to share my experiences as an entrepreneur.
Over 3 years I had put out 1,200+ hours of content - posting every week without
Little did I know that something I started almost 4 years back would give my life an entirely new direction.
At the end of 2019, my biggest platform was LinkedIn with ~700K followers.
In Jan 2020, I decided to build a team that would help me with the content.
I ran a month long recruitment drive to hire a team of interns.
It comprised 4 detailed rounds - starting with my loved 20 questions, then an assignment, then a WhatsApp video round and finally F2F.
Through 1,200+ applications, I finally selected 6 profiles, starting March.
I am a firm believer in @peterthiel's one task, one person philosophy
So the team was structured such that everyone was responsible for ONLY one task
1. Content ideas
2. Videography
3. Video editing
4. LinkedIn (+TikTok) distribution
5. FB+IG distribution
6. YouTube distribution

It has been 3 months since LinkedIn had launched its video feature.
And I had been waiting for it to be activated on my profile.
