Last I checked, bullies don’t pack up and relocate. They like to hang around and keep fucking with people. You know, like racist white people do.

I think it’s the British press just making up shit, they know the Palace won’t respond.

I don’t know, those reactions, shaking and crying, still sound pretty white woman-ish, to me. Exactly the sort of behavior that people engage in, after they’ve displayed several racist micro (and sometimes, macro) agressions, towards a Black woman, who has then put them in their place. I know I’ve encountered that…

Democrats in Congress, and the Biden administration, want a $15 minimum wage. They just don’t want it all that bad, and aren’t willing to expend any political to get it. (Kamala Harris could overrule the parliamentarian, or they could change the Byrd Rule so that a minimum wage increase is within its scope).

I imagine that they want to finally be able to tell their side of their own story without being muzzled by Royal protocol. And far, far more people will watch/hear that story via an interview with Oprah than via any newspaper article.

Um...it’s a primetime interview. With Oprah. When you have a business (or more) to promote, a ton of malicious bad press, and an entire media ecosystem heavily invested in your downfall, you need a life profile appearance like this to even the playing field. You need to make sure your appearance is more prominent than…

Maybe I’m reading this all wrong but I feel like this woman is getting thrown under the bus unfairly. My understanding is that she just made a bureaucratic call - because they’re using budget reconciliation this measure isn’t constitutional/legal/whatever. The government is full of unelected officials who have the…

The House has already passed that legislation. The President wants it. We have the votes in the Senate. Yet, an unelected staffer in the Senate decides that 30 million people cannot get that wage increase?

“I’d personally never heard of her before this week, despite her apparently having enough power to decide whether or not low-paid workers starve.”

Speaking as a veteran this is not something that concerns me. Trump painted a target on our back after the Soleimani assassination and Iranian funded militias in the area have attacked and killed Americans working locally. This is just cost of doing business due to Trump’s choice to withdraw from the JCPOA. I would…

Eh, seems to be the typical tit for tat retaliation for that rocket attack the other week in Iraqi Kurdistan (of which the politics gets a lot more complicated regarding views on US/NATO presence). The fact they bombed on the Syrian side of the border 200 miles away rather than Iraq itself is probably part of the “new…

here we have a couple who quite clearly like having masses of their private lives in the public domain along with the press reporting on that when it paints them nicely but outraged when they focus on the bits that don’t.

Personally I find it difficult to agree that wanting to control the public’s access to yourself and your private life is a mockable offense.

Eh, I think there’s a major gulf between media attention and media attacks/stalking/bullying. They aren’t asking the press “to do only what they want at all times”, they’re asking the press to be decent people and maybe not publish large portions of private letters in gossip rags or just make up nasty shit out of…

What’s wrong with wanting privacy, and also to talk to the press when they want? What’s wrong with wanting to have some control over how the media talks about you?

I believe their complaint was with the British press, not the press in general. Harry knew as long as he was considered part of the Royal Family and living over there, Meghan’s life would be hell. He saw what the British press did to his mother.

This video is adorable, period. I won’t hear a word against it. 

The people who can’t seem to understand what Harry and Meghan talk about when discussing privacy and how intrusive british media have been are people who absolutely violate other people’s boundaries

I think the issue is that tabloid culture will always be present and that’s something they will never escape. By them doing these interviews, they are being selective of who they talk to and what they talk about, thereby taking control of their own narrative. It’s a simultaneous ofense-defense strategy.

They hated the way the British press treated Meghan. Rampant racism, calling her a gold digger, etc.
