Harris is totally being set up for failure here. She cannot win on this issue no matter what she does. Biden has very probably hamstrung her future POTUS run.

Two things are fucked up:
The best answer is "I'm a work in progress" or "Feminism is important to me". "Yes" is honestly fine, when asked directly. It's declaring it impromptu to anyone that will listen that's a red flag.
This article is silly. Back when AOC was running an improbable Democratic primary, no one in the media (including Jezebel) was paying any attention to her. Glenn Greenwald, TYT and other leftist outlets were the only places she got some attention which helped her win.
I’m sorry but I take issue with the way you’re framing this story. Rukmini isn’t some damsel in distress who was forced to fall on her sword. She was a fabulist who stole documents from Iraq, threatened the family members of ISIS hostages and all around orientalist who peddled awful myths about Arabs & Muslims. She…
I feel like this is a very odd place to build a case about who is accountable. People who study and research the Middle East (of which I am one) have LONG known Callimachi to be an uncredible and credulous reporter - she reports on the Arab world and doesn’t speak Arabic. She’s had several occasions where she’s had to…

I’m sure she’s a good person and would likely make a great President, but her campaign has probably one of the worst run I have ever seen. Her team is composed of the most vacuous “Woke” white people ever who seem to think repeating platitudes they heard on twitter will get minorities to jump at the chance to vote…
Bill Maher is an absolute scumbag but let’s not forget leftists who whitewashed the crimes Assad committed against Syrian Muslims & accused anyone resisting his authoritarianism as being in league with al-Qaeda.
lol she’s Palestinian-American. Of course she would me more naturally inclined to support BDS. Why shouldn’t she? Her family’s house was razed , she was expelled from the only home she knew and Israelis have weaponized anti-Semitism to the point that even non-violent advocacy for her fellow countrymen is denounced by…
Even if you’re the most pro-Israel person on earth, taking a trip to Israel without at least visiting the Arab quarters of Jerusalem & the West Bank should be considered political malpractice. I disagree with BDS because I think it’s too wide a net (boycott businesses operating in the settlements), but good on Rashida…
These new Dem women members of Congress are bringing it every damn day and I’m loving it. Seriously go follow their twitter and instagram accounts. Rock on Tlaib for supporting BDS of Israel. Until Israel gets rid of Bibi every Dem should be denouncing what he is doing in that country.
If you replace the word “Israel” & “Palestine” with the name of any other nation-states in this debate, even a western European one, the debate ends. It becomes common sense to support the unarmed, defenseless, occupied people over those who exert their military and economic power over the former. Even if certain…
This is a good piece. I always feel so helpless looking at images like this, and reading articles about Syria. My new job is related to this and I hope I can handle it. I want to do more than just cry over pictures of babies.
My first ever car was an ‘01 Acura Integra. Had it for two years in college until I switched over to the M3.
There’s a reason why she nabbed 75% of the Muslim vote in the primary.
If Hillary Clinton were President, 8 year old American Nora al-Awlaki & 35 other women/children would still be alive today because she would not have greenlit a raid Obama previously refused to.
This is officially my new favorite gif:
(wearing a fake mustache) “Excuse me, young lady. Peace be upon you. May I perchance ask where you procured that red scarf, hijab and jean jacket? My name? I’m...Mrs. Snrub and I come from a land faaaar away. Yes, that’ll do.”
Just replace pictures with tweets and this works beautifully.
