“Amid a national eviction crisis, an imminent recession, and a deadly pandemic — what has our commitment to abusive power gotten us for our people?” CAMONGHNE writes
Photo: Mark Peterson/Redux Today, after a months-long investigation by the office of New York State attorney general Letitia James, Governor Andrew Cuomo was found to have sexually harassed multiple women staffers in violation of state and federal law.
It’s time to wrap it up. It’s time for everybody to go. And if they won’t step down and Cuomo won’t resign, the Assembly should move to impeach the governor of New York State. And if we’re lucky, today we may have the opportunity to evolve into a society that is ready to reckon with the way hegemonic political structures have for centuries allowed white men and their inner circles to abuse their power in order to serve their egos.
For those who enter this work to be public servants, who are lucky enough to end up at the center of these power structures but choose to uphold abusive behavior, who protect abuses of power in order to uphold their own access to power — you are complicit, and this is an evolution you have to go through too.
