| The columns we have today offer up an amazing selection. We have a column from a Republican who offers up some wise words on racism in America. We have an accomplished Olympian on why she has decided to withdraw from the games. |
| And our list of columns a look at how President Biden is doing fixing what Trump left broken. Welcome to the newsletter. Next time bring a friend. |
I am a Black Republican |
| As a Black Republican with decades of experience working with GOP lawmakers, business leaders and scholars, I can attest that racism does make it difficult for some Black people's participation in the Republican Party as well as in American civic and political life in general. |
| It is also worth noting that class, region and religion make it difficult for some whites to participate in American civic and public life as well – or inside and outside of the GOP – in ways race does for people of color. |

Why I am pulling out of the Tokyo Games |
| I did not make this decision on a whim. It was agonizing. I have trained for five years to get back to this point. I know my chances to swim for my country are coming to an end. But enough is enough. I need to speak up for the next athlete who is deaf-blind or disabled in another way. As Paralympians, we train as hard as our counterparts, the Olympians. We deserve the same quality and safety nets that our able-bodied teammates will receive in just a few days' time. |
| I have the Olympic rings tattooed on the back of my ribcage. That means something to me. |
