@NoahCRothman Oh ok, whew. It’s only blatant bigotry in the abstract so homophobic and transphobic discrimination won’t be enforced, mostly, except when it is. Only a few families will be ripped apart by the state. What a relief amirite 🙃

@DrJenGunter They’re brownies, not a toffee pudding, you heretics 😂

[Justin Read @imageflood]

@DrJenGunter I use dates, tahini, cocoa, egg, sugar, flour, chocolate, baking powder, salt, and then I hold the dates and tahini since they have no business being in a brownie.

@716babe Feel free to DM me if you want academic/professional advice, incl work/life issues. I’m faculty at UB and I’m familiar with the same predicament among students there.

@JAMartinezMunoz @jemelehill I believe it’s also a send up of RD Jr’s father, RD Sr’s 1969 “Putney Swope” in which the white director dubbed over all the black lead’s lines. Screens like a black man doing black face in a movie about corporate racism, fuuuuuu

If you think the Memphis police officers had to be white in order to exhibit anti-Blackness, you need to take that AP African American Studies course Ron DeSantis just banned.

@tedlieu Pretty sure you just go down to the 7-11, grab a Big Gulp for $2.79 or whatever, and hope they have change for a $1 trillion.

The best part about the Twitter Files is that the people freaking out about secrecy and censorship because Twitter employees made decisions w/o consulting the CEO are now totally cool with the new CEO unilaterally controlling Twitter with absolutely no oversight or transparency.

BÔNUS: Dems have no idea how to communicate with Latinos. This is their biggest challenge for 2024 and beyond. 4/3

[Justin Read @imageflood]

Lessons from the midterm elections, quote me in 2 years:

-Map has shifted in ways that curiously follow college football. GOP is the SEC, consolidated with FL and TX.

-D’s are the Big10 (expanded). D’s base is now MI, IL, WI, PA, with “expanded” reach to CA, NY, VA.

1/3?

[Justin Read @imageflood]

-D’s would have won outright is they put abortion initiatives on the ballot to drive turnout. Massive failure of foresight her

-Last, Latino vote is vital for victory on either side. D’s need to learn how to brand GOP as a threat to Latinos, particularly near Mexican border. 3/3
