This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades.
It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.

PSA: Faith outreach, for both Democrats and Republicans, often *isn't* about reaching the aisle — or not *just.*
It's often about rallying the *base*, which very much includes many religious Dems — note that Talarico is making faith appeals in the Dem *primary,* and is seemingly doing very well.

I will 100% vote for Kelly if that’s how things shake out but imo despite being an astronaut his personality doesn’t really have the juice.
just so you're prepared, Kelly is going to be the corporatist establishment choice for President, barring some uncharacteristic gaffe
the press will help through ample felation of his military record, and this week got to work pretending his plan to run is authentically spontaneous

as a woman who knows AOC is very well spoken and smart, this almost makes me cry. Also, Trump the Ugly Male President is a fucking moron who demonstrates “incomprehensibilty” every single day.

I feel like we've all lost sight of the fact of the sheer magnitude of the failure of Putin's latest offensive, i.e. the one that began in 2024—mainly because it's been so baked into the day-to-day.
Far and away the least successful offensive we've seen in not just years, but decades.
