Yes @emptywheel. Thank you. Now let’s ask why& what the consequences are of the media & expert analysts on cable TV constantly whitewashing Trump’s targeting of Black voters.Below are my tweets from the KKK Act suit the NAACP LDF filed right after the election. It was there in plain sight.

Trump's Attack on Black Votes Was There the Whole Time, We Just Didn't Call It a Crime - emptywheel

Trump deployed threats of violence to make it harder to count the votes of Black and Latino voters but no one treated it as a crime.

I have a serious ongoing hate crime CRA case that I have reported to everybody and CANNOT report to the authorities. I need representation (with ZERO access to the system because legal funnels). Both race and gender for an ALIVE person. This task is impossible without knowing exactly who to contact. Not a lawyer and I need to be. ALL usual channels don't work and I am going increasingly under without an advocate. Can't do ALONE. Giving up is life threatening. Nowhere to turn?????

@ifilljustice No idea how to find a serious expert who can handle both RACE AND GENDER simultaneously. This is a precedent setting case for WOMEN but every lawyer except the dialed in one has at least one conflict. I don't fit the cookie cutter case but mine aims directly for the confederacy with proof. I feel like women have no representation in this system bc the numbers are nil.
