This Week in White Supremacy: Week 35

And, we are back! Between our 2018 Mind Science Conference and summer vacations, TWIWS took a brief hiatus. We had hoped the same would be the case for the racists but, of course, that did not happen.

We hope you will take some time for self-care and rejuvenation this summer – we have a lot of work ahead of us.

Onward.
