Tribalism sucks

By artappraiser on Mon, 08/10/2020 - 4:49pm |

For folks just seeing @bonappetit problematic content, please don’t center Iranians & neglect to mention that the writer was fine w/ ignoring US occupation of Afghanistan. As Iranians, we gotta do better. Afghans are subjected to violence by Iran & ignored by int’l community.

Rejecting the term “people of color” may be of little consequence, @etammykim writes, but rejecting the solidarity it implies can result in an inaccurate and unduly limiting world view. https://t.co/S0hQrZFy3C

Proof that the Cult of Trump and the GOP are not the same thing

This shit is hilarious-

.. the Trump cartel is refusing to let the RNC provide any real money for House Republican reelection campaigns, even though House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy is begging for money.
