this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro chides Zohran Mamdani for not condemning other people’s antisemitism:
“He left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly antisemitic things.”
“He left open far too much space for extremists to either use his words or for him to not condemn the words of extremists that said some blatantly antisemitic things.”
Shapiro rebukes Mamdani for failing to condemn ‘blatantly antisemitic’ extremists
The Pennsylvania governor told JI: ‘When supporters of yours say things that are blatantly antisemitic, you can't leave room for that to just sit there’

Trump has emboldened them. And she won’t face any consequences.
Here’s the thing, they are just testing the waters — they always start with Natives becuase they know even liberals and mainstream media won’t care too much.

This is the list of Rape Culture apologists. It includes Cuomo stans and literally people sent to attack me and other survivors for years. I’ve tried to include as many high profile abusers as I can. It is bipartisan on bad people supporting abusers. Block block block.

Pete Hesgeth — who wants to rename the Navy ship that honors Medgar Evers, a WWII veteran who landed on Omaha Beach — is using that same beach for a photo op in which he promises we will “never forget” the veterans there.

Masked ICE thugs terrorized Chicago yesterday.
They lied to immigrants waiting for their court hearing by summoning them for “surprise check-ins” and then assaulted protesters and elected officials.

there is not a single fast-casual chain bread that surpasses the cheddar bay biscuit. the cheddar bay biscuit is one of the greatest foodstuffs this country has ever produced. if you went back in time and gave a cheddar bay biscuit to george washington, the intensity of flavor would kill him
Bread is always good…. I don’t know what Cheesecake Factory does to that brown bread but it’s always good
Texas Roadhouse sprinkle something in those rolls cause I never had a bad tasting one
Outback brown bread be hitting too
If it’s one thing Olive Garden does good is them breadsticks

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 72 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo (& today a video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

tell me yours is an open door,
that you have dreamed
of more

let it slip out
in a laugh,
or during a kiss,
or between breaths,
look at me,
darling,
all I haven’t said,
but I know
