Having access to these things without facing hostility to your existence is a professional need. Having access that is open to your ability is a professional need. Getting respect for your capabilities is a professional need.

Wasn't the beginning of all this the hostility to Sue Grimshaw because she was a Trump supporter? Do you believe that people who support President Trump are hostile to your existence? If so, in what way? Are you hostile to the existence of people who support Trump? If so, why?

No. It was Sue Grimshaw saying that white supremacy didn’t exist, labeling a group of Latinx people as “illegal,” and a pattern of business behavior where the visible result was an exclusion of people of color.

Here is me discussing the actual *professional* impact her racism had on the industry, and the effect of that hostility on authors’ careers, at the time this entire thing went down. https://twitter.com/courtneymilan/status/1162508952032047104?s=21 …https://twitter.com/courtneymilan/status/1162508952032047104 …

Courtney Milan 🦖 @courtneymilanSo there’s someone going around Romancelandia right now arguing with everyone who is talking about the fact that people have been calling out a major industry player who liked tweets that fell somewhere on the range between “yikes racist” and “actual white supremacist.”Show this thread2 replies 2 retweets 137 likes -

I am sure you will apologize for not understanding the industry-wide effect I was addressing.

No, I think it is important that you make it clear that this is not about hating on people who support President Trump and that you can distinguish between Trump supporters and White Supremacists.

Kind of a highkey meaningless distinction when trump himself *is* a white supremacist, tho. He’s used white nationalist talking points and dogwhistles since day 1, so like. At absolute BEST, you’re talking about people who support him despite this because they’re ignorant.

Like we have a literal metric fucktonne of proof for this, and for the people he surrounds himself with like steven miller, and if you’re disputing that then either you don’t know what white supremacy is or you’re apologising for it as though it matters less than his other views.

So, a Jewish man like Steven Miller can be a white supremacist. And Trump's favourite child, Ivanka, has converted to Orthodox Judaism and has an Orthodox Jewish husband, but Trump can be a white supremacist. White supremacy on SPLC and that I am aware of is anti-Jewish.

I mean... yes? White supremacy is traditionally anti-semitic but both Miller and the Trumps are racist as hell and align with white supremacy for personal gain. *Other Jewish folks* are clear on the fact that they're white supremacists. https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/20/politics/jewish-members-of-congress-stephen-miller/index.html …

This is a similar phenomenon to white women voting for Trump despite the fact that he's a serial rapist, who boasted about grabbing women by the pussy on camera, who has talked about wanting to date his daughter, talked grossly about Ivanka's prepubescent boobs... I can go on.

Trump's "success" is rooted in hate: he convinces people to act against their own best interests by stoking hatred against other groups - and he does this with *everyone*, and everyone bar a handful of rich white people gets screwed by it, because he's an amoral sociopath.
