I think Democrats and others are being terribly naïve about Graham Platner. I would like them to be less naïve, even if they are in the camp of "Okay, let's take this poison pill." Okay, take the poison pill. But be very careful. First, there is the documented pattern of lying

The French Open has banned Serena Williams' black suit, saying that, ''I think that sometimes we've gone too far...One must respect the game and the place'' I *really* want to know how the outfit on the left is less "respectful" of the game of tennis than the outfit on the right

Spotted in rural Pennsylvania: Two white men at a bar yelling about how essential Roe V Wade is.

Hi @EricAbbenante, I have a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Linguistics. I am ABD in Hearing and Speech Sciences. I invite you to please list the grammatical errors that Representative Crockett made. I also invite you to precisely indicate what your metric for "diction" is. Thanks

Jasmine Crockett truly has the worst grammar and diction of anyone I've ever heard in Congress. Here she is triggered to respond to Nancy Mace's statements that Hunter Biden exhibited white privilege

1/ The NYTimes is densely defending their article by claiming it was intended to shed light on the normalcy of racism in American society. I agree this is a worthy topic of discussion. So, let’s talk about all the things the Times could have *actually* achieved this. . . .

I know there's a lot going on, but I think it's odd that the fact that the President's supporters beat a cop to death with a fire extinguisher is not bigger news.

"Blue Lives Matter" is just code for saying that Black lives don't

So I see the right-wing is converging on the stunningly coherent narrative that Kamala Harris is both a scary African American woman & simultaneously not really an African American woman while also being a radical socialist & a notorious COP.

How many Black parents have been interviewed by the media about how history, race, & racism are taught to their children in the public education system? Cause I sure feel like, when I look at even the mainstream media landscape, I'm seeing a sea of undifferentiated whiteness.

Do people realize that Netanyahu desperately wants Joe Biden to lose the election?

29/ Oh, and one more thing: If you are going to write about a person who participated in Charlottesville, there is one additional question you should really ask: "How do you feel about the murder of Heather Heyer?"

Women are authorities on how men treat women. Black people are authorities on how white people treat black people. Black women are authorities on both. Is this clear?

Just pause and reflect on how freaking bizarre it is that we have a president who has not tried to give a single unifying message during all this grief and chaos and that, simultaneously, all of us would really prefer he keep not speaking.
