Clear evidence of how out of touch the Right is with Millennial voters: Every time they try to slam emerging Dem stars like @AOC and @BetoORourke, they just make them look cooler and more relatable

@xJawz @jonaweinhofen If you’re claiming culinary xenophobia isn’t a thing, and trust only books written by white establishmentarians for “facts” and “definitions”: Let me point you to the very good Routledge History of American Foodways
Ed. by Jennifer Wallach, Lindsey Swindall and Michael Wise.
@xJawz @jonaweinhofen Not only is culinary xenophobia a real phenomenon, it has actually been at the basis for many of the most racist parascientific rationalizations of white supremacy. Here’s how it was used to support colonial settling and the subsequent massacre of Native peoples:
@xJawz @jonaweinhofen Here’s how culinary xenophobia was used to support the practice of slavery, by animalizing black persons as “gluttonous eaters of carrion”:

This is a Chinese hotpot, you engorged penis

It could be made with nothing but vegan ingredients and it would still be delicious and you’d still be a xenophobic tool
Can we talk about white veganism for a second? The kind espoused by folks like Jona here, who begins his Twitter bio with the Sanskrit word for “nonviolence” but then craps on Asian cultural expressions in order to advance his neocolonial beliefs?
Because veganism as practiced by white Western culture *is* neocolonialist. It harvests and expropriated ingredients and preparation techniques from nonwhite cultures to create expensive foodstuffs that many people in their origin cultures couldn’t hope to afford.

Whenever ppl ask about #Twitter, I'm always honest: There's a lot of abuse of women here, but the amount of VILE comments & threats aimed at Black women is unconscionable.

I completely understand why WOC wouldn't want to be on Twitter at all...
bit.ly/2S7Y6xg?utm_so…
But for those of you who weather the abuse & disgusting comments (often daily) & stay here as educators, activists & scholars: Thank you. Thank you.🙏

We- white ppl & men- *should* be doing a better job of ENDING this.

Allies: start being aware & support & promote Black women!
And yes I'm feeling saucy today so this is a subtweet of *many* white men here - esp those with a lot of followers.

Y'all need to do better following - & *promoting* women. And nearly ALL y'all need to do better by Black women.

So.

Time for something a little different, and an idea I’ve been toying with—a look at how #transphobes try to frame their narrative within a claim that they are only “concerned” about trans people existing.

I think it’s safe to say that every trans person in the...

1/n
community who isn’t a #transphobic arserag can now spot whenever the usual #hate groups and individuals deploy their dog-whistles to denigrate trans people, especially trans women, but it is all too easy to forget that for the average cis person with no experience of...

2/n
this the comments and phrases that #transphobes come out with can come across as bizarre, or non-sequiturs, or even occasionally even reasonable. That person, because they have no experience of this, doesn’t see those comments as the attacks they are, and so can’t...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

The important point to keep in mind regarding section 33 of the Charter of Rights & Freedoms is why it was included. Think about what was going on at the time and why the Charter was even created.

Sect. 33 is a white supremacy tool that was included to make white men feel safe.
Now that this fact has been said, let’s get to the heart of addressing the attempt to abuse power in order to maintain white supremacy.

It’s 2018, time to rule section 33 unconstitutional when used to subvert Canadians’ inalienable rights to a free & democratic society.

History has taught us many lessons.

Some people learn from them and some people don’t.

During the time when then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau and other white male elected Representatives were working on ensuring that underrepresented and marginalized Communities were protected

#Twitter: what is it good for? How do you get good at it? And what will we do when it's gone? Today in pulp I share a few insights I've gleaned from almost five years of running this account.

Its about to get all meta...
Most people's tweets are a stream of consciousness, and Twitter itself is a daily flow of 500 million of these across the surface of your phone. You are currently looking at the collective unconscious of the planet...
And like any examination of the unconscious you will see things on Twitter that fascinate you and things that disgust you. This is part of its attraction: the filters of discourse become permeable, allowing the unsayable to leak across.

Cathy Myers, Randy Bryce's primary challenger, is being told to "go away" and drop out.

This is exactly why I got so mad when the media normalized sexism when it was directed at Hillary.

Though more women are running than ever before, they're facing the same barriers HRC did.
I didn't even know that Randy Bryce had a primary challenger until today and I'm always on Twitter and going through the trending news stories.

Where is the national coverage for Cathy Myers? Why isn't her video being shared and praised?
I agree with what Diane said here. While I understand that #WI1 has national implications because whoever wins will challenge the Speaker of the House, this primary has become completely one-sided because of national discourse, which is steeped in sexism.
