USA. A breakfast counter. The waitress recommended the biscuits and gravy, and when the plate arrived, I thought something had gone wrong in the kitchen.

I say this with shame. The dish looked like a construction site after rain. Pale mounds. Gray ladle-fall. Speckles I could not identify.

In my land, the eye eats first. A meal is arranged like a garden. This meal was arranged like weather.

"Is it… finished?" I asked, carefully.

"Honey, that's what it looks like."

The man beside me was already eating his. He did not look up. "Just try it."

I am a man who has charged hillsides at dawn. I raised the fork. I tried it.

I must now formally apologize to the biscuits, the gravy, the waitress, the kitchen, and the entire breakfast tradition of the American South.

It was magnificent. Warm. Peppered. The biscuit drank the gravy the way a field drinks rain — THAT is why it is shaped like that, you fool — and every mound I had insulted was a soft fold of comfort that my homeland, in eight hundred years, never once thought to invent.

"Well?" the waitress asked.

"I judged it," I confessed. "By its appearance. I am ashamed."

"Everybody does, hon."

Everybody does. A national dish that forgives you for doubting it. It expects the doubt. It waits for you on the other side of it.

Do not judge the gravy by its face. Judge yourself, for hesitating.

I order it every Saturday now. I no longer see the construction site. I see only the garden.

It was a garden the whole time. The eye must be trained.

@Zoogie22 @chadfelixg That's the point. Those of us who haven't dealt with abusers, stalkers etc don't GET IT. It seems so easy, just say no, report them. But these are classic victim responses - especially when they TRY to tell and aren't believed. And the abusers get away with it most of the time.

“Oh, cool, y’all are planning a big get-together for the President’s birthday?”

“No, it’s a protest.”

“So, large crowds will gather in his name across the nation on the day of his birth?”

“Don’t say it like that.”

“And there will be a cool concert?”

“A protest concert!”

“And people will have watch parties for the birthday concert? Kinda like a reality show dedicated to him?”

“No!”

“Will there be cake?”

“I hate you.”

It was an honor to visit your husband’s grave today on your behalf, and to pay my respects. It was wonderful to see the beautiful flowers representing many others who did the same. Our nation owes a debt of gratitude to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and to the loved ones they left behind. Thank you for your service and sacrifice @SharrellAnne2 🙏🏽

I would once again like to remind everyone threatening SCOVA and Republicans in general that it is not our fault that Democrats did what they did here in Virginia.

If you want to be angry at anyone, be angry at these people - I'll even tell you why:

@GovernorVA: Her people knew it was a bad idea; they questioned the legality of it. She went ahead and signed the bill anyway and actively campaigned for it, even though she had promised during her campaign that she had no intention of gerrymandering the state.

@AGJayJones: Talk about a horrible attorney, you guys. Just horrible. Forget that he texted horrific, violent fantasies about shooting a Republican and wishing for his children to die. The guy is just not a good attorney. He is the reason the election went forward without a ruling; he pushed for it. And THEN he brought in California attorneys to argue the case ... they lost. So any of you whining about how the justices TOOK THEIR VOTES AWAY, take it up with Jay, he's the reason there was a vote in the first place.

@SenLouiseLucas: This one is pretty self-explanatory. Just search her now legendary, '10 Fuckin' 1'.

@SpeakerDonScott: This poor guy. When Louise says jump, he asks how high. And yes, pun intended.

@DelRodWillett: Rod here is responsible for the wording of the actual referendum that used the word 'fairness,' which is just bizarre. Republicans actually attempted to change the wording of the referendum, but they were shut down without debate.

@EricHolder, @RepJeffries, and @BarackObama: They dumped tens of millions into this state to steal seats from rural Virginians. Yup, you read that right. Roughly $70 MILLION dollars funneled into a state to buy four seats (that our governor was more than willing to sell them).

Oh, and speaking of funding, while @timkaine and @MarkWarner both voiced concerns at first, they BOTH fell in line (after Louise Lucas called them cucks), and get this... each donated $100,000 to the effort to SILENCE millions of people in their own state.

Must include every single Democrat who started running for the lobster district, like @HelmerVA and @DSMcAuliffe ... curious if Dorothy will have to pay back the large amount of money she raised to run for a district that does not exist.

There were many bad actors locally and across the country, telling lies about how this was 'leveling the playing field,' and insisting Trump was making them do it, rambling about Texas ... trying to sell it on the idea that it was TEMPORARY.

Which we all knew, it was not.

Ultimately, this was a complete failure from the get-go: breaking laws, going against the state constitution, and willfully deceiving voters, all while insisting they were the good guys.

Turns out, they were definitely the bad guys.

Finally, this is not a win for Republicans; I realize that it helps us in the midterms, but in my humble opinion, this is much bigger than that. This was a win for Virginia and a reminder that, in a 6/5-divided state such as ours, every voice still matters.

Sold as a 13-year-old child bride in Iran, she was raped and tortured by her Muslim husband. Now safe in America, she devotes her life to warning the West about Islam.
Share this story widely.

[Cassie Clark @dogwoodblooms]

Not long so ago, I believed the political divide wasn’t all that wide. I thought it was propaganda. I believed people were cherry-picking stories to make the left seem more hateful and violent than they were.

Then I wore a Charlie Kirk t-shirt and witnessed it firsthand.

I was stared at, sneered at, and berated.

When I shared that experience, I was called a liar, received hate mail, and was added to public social media lists of fascists, Nazis, and racists. I got death threats.

It opened my eyes.

What’s truly terrifying is that I got off light.

Charlie Kirk was murdered in front of the world.
Attempts have been made on Trump’s life.
Schools have been targeted by violent leftists.
Christian church services have been disrupted by leftist mobs.
Riots have caused property damage, destruction, and loss of life.
Conservative journalists have been attacked.
Tesla owners have been targeted.

And those are just the things playing out on the main stage. I know people who’ve been swatted, physically attacked, and had their families targeted—ordinary people like me who dared to speak the truth.

Meanwhile, leftist politicians and media personalities push the delusional fairy tale that the right is evil and cite studies that falsely claim both sides are responsible.

The truth is we have a problem in the United States.

That problem isn’t coming from the right.

And you can’t fix a problem until you admit you have one.

[Gator Gar @gatorgar]

Trump is like a fictional character 🤣

[CMDohm @CMDohm]

So many people think they are super powered detectives on the internet. Not sure if it's TV or just inflated egos, but it's so frustrating.

To those people:
YOU CANNOT USE ONE UNPOSED PICTURE TO DIAGNOSE AN ENTIRE SITUATION, THE MOTIVES BEHIND IT, OR THE THOUGHTS GOING THROUGH SOMEONE'S MIND.

Thank you for attending my TED talk.

[CMDohm @CMDohm]

@daleveitch3 @MrAndyNgo Was the path to the safe room clear? Was it for sure one gunman?
They had to move Melania too, doubt Trump would have left without her.
Trump was surrounded by SS, at least two standing in position to take a bullet.
A phone video doesn't tell the whole story.

[CMDohm @CMDohm]

@ant_trauma_cop @JacquiHeinrich @SecretService Trump was surrounded by SS. One agent stood in front of him prepared to take a bullet for him if needed. Maybe I missed an angle but I didn't see that kind of cover for Vance. Plus I doubt Trump would have left without Melania so it had to be coordinated.

[An-gee: Sensei of Sarcasm @SenseiOfSarcasm]

@ScottPresler has worked tirelessly for the GOP, including helping flip PA for Trump! He gets people out to vote, not just register them. Maybe blame the losses on the fact that grassroots people like Scott have to do the job the GOP has the money to do and is not willing to do it?

[The🐰FOO @PolitiBunny]

@timburchett No. Lots of us showed up to fight. We fought nonstop in Virginia. We fought when we were told it was pointless ...

NOBODY from the Party showed up to help us.

We were all we had.

[CMDohm @CMDohm]

What is the point of voting @GOP if they won't fight when it matters? They know they have us because the alternative isn't acceptable. So frustrated. The Republican party doesn't care so long as we send money.
I hate that this has to go the courts, but I do hope it fails spectacularly there.

[The🐰FOO @PolitiBunny]

Democrats spent $70 million on this referendum.
Almost every penny came from out of state.
They broke laws.
They wrote a deceitful ballot measure.
They ran tv spots for two months, nonstop.
They brought in Obama.
They brought in Hollywood.

We had grassroots.
That’s really it.
They only beat us by 70k votes.
In an April election.

Here’s the most ironic part … what do you notice?

All that money, all that effort, and all they did was prove our 6/5 map is accurate.

Almost exactly.
