But... Jamie Dimon likes cash.

So he's like, "Nah. Y'all have fun tho!"

He's not doing this because he loves Black people. I doubt he has a favorite Kendrick Lamar song.🤷🏿‍♂️

He's doing this because this way makes more money than the other way.

If you're the richest person in the world? Then sure, you can afford to drop Mackenzie Scott money being anti-social.

Everyone else should ask themselves if they can really afford to lose money by backing segregation.

And you will lose money.

Heather McGhee's book, The Sum of Us, does an excellent job of telling this story.

Undermining the dog-whistle, scapegoating foundation of MAGA is the purpose of the Freedom Over Fascism Movement collaboration.

Their toolkit document is a great resource everyone would do well to bookmark - https://bit.ly/FreedomOverFascism
