When Trump talks about the “Suburban Lifestyle a Dream,” it’s helpful to remember where that dream came from. https://bit.ly/3jRAxXS https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/1288509568578777088
The whiteness of the “Suburban Lifestyle Dream” is far from accidental. That so-called dream is rooted in decades of racist government policies - aka “de jure segregation.”
Trump’s attacks on fair housing are just a reincarnation of that history. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/history/how-federal-government-intentionally-racially-segregated-american-cities-180963494/

Trump’s “Suburban Lifestyle Dream” is the same narrative used to justify racially discriminatory nuisance ordinances - like the law @ACLU is challenging in Bedford, Ohio.
The City justified that law by declaring “we believe in neighborhoods, not hoods.” https://www.aclu.org/legal-document/somai-v-city-bedford-oh-amended-complaint

We should be strengthening fair housing protections - not dismantling them.
By rescinding the AFFH Rule, the Trump administration is doubling down on its efforts to dismantle civil rights protections right when we need them the most.
