My point has absolutely nothing to do white Americans β€˜ opinions about the whiteness of white Cubans - it’s about white Cubans failing to sympathize with black Cubans in a way white Americans ought to recognize

You think there aren’t white Cubans

Not a question, just a statement

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.

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

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
