The fact you’re all so upset about it is proof positive that taking a crap on the kitchen table is a legitimate form of visual art.

Sidenote: I think yanks sometimes miss how confusing their terminology is. I have an uncle who moved to New York back in the day who's black Caribbean in British ethnic clarification terms, which contrasts here with black African. So he spent a while objecting to people saying he's African American.
Honestly, the NYT siding with Idi Amin and saying that Indian-Ugandans are not Africans is not something I saw coming.

I don't think NYT should know peace until they divulge the full chain of decision making that led to the laundering of Nazi propaganda against a leading anti-fascist politician the same day fascism was codified in Congress.

SCOOP: Mamdani Identified as Asian and African American on College Application
I co-report for The New York Times: Zohran Mamdani was born in Uganda. He doesn’t consider himself Black but said the application didn’t allow for the complexity of his background.

democratic senator from cali preemptively blaming protesters as video starts rolling in from the streets of national guard troops shoving and pepper-praying reporters, kids, and old people with signs.
Violence must stop, and we need to keep the focus on protecting fundamental rights.
There is nothing President Trump would like more than a violent confrontation with protestors to justify the unjustifiable — invocation of the Insurrection Act or some form of martial law.

Trump doesn’t have the law on his side. What he has is power.
Historically speaking, when the “rule of law” comes up against raw power and a dictator willing to use it, the rule of law always loses.
