But where did jawn even come from? Some words you can sort of guess how they came to be (e.g. nepo baby and unsee and yeet). But “jawn” to refer to any thing or person you don’t know? I can’t imagine how that just sprang into being.  Hadn’t heard of it until this article.

You know it just occurred to me that the reason DeSantis is so far right is because he has had no negative electoral repercussions as a result of those extreme far right positions in general elections in Florida.  Whatever crazy stuff a GOP candidate says to get the GOP nomination that then gets walked back for the…

Well apparently it was relayed by his attorney, so it was definitely made with legal counsel’s advice. It also identifies him as her now ex husband. However, while it could be relevant to motion practice regarding modification of the terms of any custody agreement, they wouldn’t need a statement like this as the…

The father’s excuse doesn’t hold water if he and the mother had a YouTube channel, where they used deprivation of food as a routine punishment. Same thing. If starving your kids is routine punishment, the kids trying to sneak out to get food elsewhere would necessarily trigger a prison-like response - thus duct tape…

The end result of their loopholes is that only wealthy women can legally obtain an abortion there because they won’t need anyone’s help to pay to travel out of State or get abortion pills or what have you.

She should do a forced perspective one.

Never in our history has there been a “one drop rule” other than in the context of maintaining white supremacy by defining even a single drop of black ancestry as an inexorable blemish on the “purity” of whiteness. No one is out there saying even one drop of white blood makes you not black or hispanic or whathaveyou.…

Judge what character? The character of the one who committed a literal crime? And then lied about it? How is it you can recognize that Cardi B committed crimes against those men, but when the genders are flipped, suddenly it’s this TikToker who is at fault for being the victim of a crime? And who in the world was…

That guy has done this A LOT. That “let me play you this song on Spotify... [deletes all contact info and logs of calls to or from his number on your phone] ... darn can’t find it” move was entirely too practiced and well-oiled to be a one off.

If you’re opposed to abortion, be like Kate Mulgrew:

I’m technically bi-racial, but I’ve always thought of myself as black and checked the black box. It never even occurred to me to do otherwise. No one looks at me and needs to activate their blackdar. I once read a book called Black, White, Other about bi-racial folks growing up and the issues they faced, and it really…

Almost. It will need to be someone who not only has no personal political ambition but must, more importantly, be a 100% Trump sycophant who would overturn the Democracy if Trump asked them to do so, which Pence failed to do. Same with every cabinet member he would choose. This time he would have an entire cult at the…

Exactly. That’s why as much as Trump is always threatening defamation suits, he almost never files them and when he does it’s always something incredibly narrow for which one could never prove damages (e.g. suing CNN over calling his lies about the 2020 election the “big lie” but not over whether or not what he said…

And the Karen in question didn’t call the cops either.  So it’s still not a fit for someone throwing a hissy fit and not one punch, much less threatening to shoot anyone or calling the cops hoping they’ll shoot someone for them.

Your premise is flawed. If during WWII someone refused to acknowledge the rounding up and torture and murder of Jewish people and, after the end of the war with documentary evidence and video showing the gas chambers and hard evidence of the Holocaust and then afterward someone asked that same person “was the Third…

There’s something fundamentally flawed with every shooting by a police officer resulting in what appears to be a week or more of paid vacation.

Exactly.  Excellent analogy.

Precisely. Now is not the time to be playing games, when only one party is actively suppressing black votes and even trying to set up systems where they can overturn their own State election if they don’t like the result. If we let them take control in the way they want, there will be no democratic path back to a…

Both parties supported the laws you’re talking about from Clinton’s Presidency. So blaming that on Biden is, again, an effort to paint him as somehow the leader of anti-black policy at a time on and on a policy, for which both parties were on the same side. Meanwhile, Trump and his father’s company were personally and…
