Yes, Mr. Erdoğan did get blown out in İstanbul last year (twice!!!) and not because anyone--certainly not the Americans--helped the opposition. #StayInYourLane
It is beautifully ironic that @DavidOBowles’s hit job on @jeaninecummins’s #AmericanDirt—in which he criticizes her book for cultural appropriation and poor Spanish dialogue—uses “Latinx” to refer to people from Latin America. nytimes.com/2020/01/27/opi… While Bowles is no doubt… /1
