Been a banner weekend of Democratic Socialist official orgs and promoters—who claim not to be communists—defending and whitewashing communist dictators like Maduro and Stalin. Mask off.
Look, as I said, I appreciate the transparency. When the DSA sends a delegation to party in Venezuela and do PR for Maduro and then DSA Twitter is out here defending Stalin, you’ve made it pretty clear exactly what you are and it ain’t Sweden
None of this should even come as a surprise. Bernie, who is considerably more sane than most of his DSA counterparts, claimed the bread lines in Venezuela was a sign of economic health 🥴
Hillary Clinton was the victim of Monica Lewinsky’s consensual affair with Bill Clinton. Monica Lewinsky was a victim of the press and her own poor judgment. Don’t get it twisted.
I don’t infantilize women. I do not believe grown women cannot consensually date their boss. I believe they should not be coerced/threatened/bribed/pressured/cajoled like what Weinstein did. There was never any evidence BC did that to ML. She claimed she pursued him.
Now she wants to squeeze herself into the metoo movement and pretend she’s a victim of Hillary—the woman whose husband she eagerly f-ed. Not today.
Lost count of Ilhan Omar’s incidents of antisemitism? That’s because they’re not mistakes. They’re a pattern. She has repeatedly told you who she is. It’s time to believe her.
A thread. 1/
First, Ilhan Omar tweeted that “Israel hypnotizes the world,” invoking the long running antisemitic myth of Jewish hypnosis. People called her out, and she half apologized: forward.com/fast-forward/4…
Second, Ilhan Omar claimed that US politicians were being bribed by Jews to support Israel, invoking another antisemitic trope. People called her out, and she half apologized again: haaretz.com/us-news/ilhan-…
Ilhan Omar partnered with an org notorious for blood libel. The org published an article criticizing President Obama for hosting a Passover Seder at the White House because “Jews use the blood of Christians” in matzah. Why was she not censured? How is this different from QAnon?
Homemade Tantanmen with Iberian pork, fresh ramen noodles, spinach and chard, and loads of chili oil and chili paste
Recipe here. I didn’t make many modifications except using Iberian pork and adding extra garlic and chili paste/chili oil. thewoksoflife.com/tan-tan-ramen/
The specialty ingredient, Sichuan Doubanjiang—a delicious fermented chili bean paste—was a bit hard to find at the Asian market because they’re not necessarily translated on the bottles/signs but just ask someone for help. It’s common. Or you can order it at Amazon at a markup
