People will be like "it's fine to do that as long as they don't confuse it with REAL activism 🙄" and like, the point of activism is to make your side the accepted commonsense position and the other side seem unpopular & crazy. Visible, widely accepted and participatory messaging is real activism

Aaron Reitz vows to “destroy the left” if elected Texas attorney general
Reitz believes the nation is at war with liberals, and the best bulwark against them is a fully empowered Texas attorney general’s office — with him at the helm.

I'm from San Antonio, and our unique to SA food are puffy tacos, which are amazing. I wish we had them in Austin.
While Buffalo wings are now a ubiquitous app all over the country, not every regional food goes national. What cuisine from YOUR region do you most want to share with the country/world?
