So I did a public records request to find out exactly what this means. Let's go through it together in this thread. 👇
Seattle. The Pacific Northwest's most beautiful yet completely crazy city.
At 4pm Seattle's best journalist Christopher Rufo will share with John & Ken how he discovered the city of Seattle held a training session for white employees to “affirm their complicity” in racism and about “undoing” their own whiteness.
No Joke.
Listen to Christopher Rufo tell John & Ken how this all went down in Seattle.

What happens after the thought exercises? It's time to DO THE WORK.

The trainers ask white employees to "let go" of "comfort," "guaranteed physical safety," "control over the land," "social status," and "relationships with some other white people." pic.twitter.com/sRZf8gA6Go
