maybe so many rightwing Cuban-Americans are groovy with the US starving that country to death because lots of the Cubans still on the island are Black and whiteness isn’t English-only

or is it more than maybe?

They tried this in the Bay Area in 2011, but bars started banning them preemptively and everyone agreed to call anyone who wore something like it a glasshole

THESCOOP
Rep. Jasmine Crockett is taking a harder line on the political journalists covering her Texas Senate campaign, ejecting an Atlantic reporter from an event and calling the Capitol Police on a CNN journalist attempting to visit one of her offices, according to three people familiar with the incidents.
At a campaign rally in Texas on Tuesday, security escorted Atlantic reporter Elaine Godfrey from the premises. Godfrey has covered Crockett at length, though

Something I'm always thinking: what sort of music do tinies make? What sort of music do giants make? Obviously, both have a whole spectrum of sounds and idioms, there's not just one sound for either.

I’m not saying it matters, but Heather Cox Richardson is basically Lisa Simpson and this is why we love her.

Also, Heather Cox Richardson likes Nelson.

The β€œeither reform or abolish” discourse is a giant loser

So you're saying ICE is incompatible with the rule of law as practiced in this nation from the founding?

Think I see a pretty easy solution here, champ.

”This is a world of compensations; and he who would *be* no slave, must consent to *have* no slave. Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves; and, under a just God, can not long retain it.”

A lot of attempts at definition miss the β€œoh how could you, I’m so small and helpless!” connotation of the term

I've become a fan of the term "crybullies"

please be sure to use the correct terminology for government troops:

when they go after heavily armed white men in compounds they’re jack-booted thugs

when they go after people of color or women on the streets they’re smol beans

We need to talk about the rise of "smol bean fascism" where you have all the guns and the immunity but the really scary people are the ones with whistles and phone cameras and they're giving you generational trauma and ptsd by filming you killing people for no reason
