Thirty years after Timothy McVeigh’s Oklahoma City bombing, his legacy lives on in the racist mass shooters, anti-government extremists, and MAGA reactionaries who continue to target Black communities, immigrants, and marginalized groups.

A corporate pacification project dressed as progress, it launders Black rage into diversity statements while police budgets grow and material conditions collapse. As the right attacks this hollow facade, we must reject both the bootleg rehab of DEI and the strip-club austerity of Anti-DEI to organize for real power beyond the spectacle of representation.
