I feel like things keep getting worse and worse for Haiti

I saw this comment in my notifications and I thought that it was responding to another post about a literal Nazi flag flying 😬

Is America great again yet?

What blogger are you talking about?

This is printed in an exceptionally well regarded and award-winning newspaper by a journalist with a master’s in investigative journalism from Columbia University.

Edit: You’ve now made clear that your only agenda is to discredit a story that makes you uncomfortable. You are willing to embarass yourself to do so, but I have no interest in indulging you.

No one is claiming that’s the problem. You were taking the quote out of context. The context is the entire point:

[A] lesson covering the U.S. Civil War focuses heavily on Robert E. Lee’s “excellent abilities” as general of the Confederate Army… [However,] does not teach that Lee enslaved people or highlight his racist views that Black people were neither intelligent nor qualified to hold political power.

It’s pretty clear from the article, as well as the excerpt above. The curriculum is teaching about a history that is closely intertwined with slavery while avoiding mention of slavery. No one is contending the military expertise of Lee; teaching about his life and political legacy while expunging his racist motives is dishonest.

You’ve either completely missed the point or are running for a Texas GOP seat. Maybe both.

“You can’t prove it DOESN’T work.”

“Yes we can. There are literally thousands of studies proving exactly that.”

It does appear to be the case. This article is peppered excessively with antisemitic dog whistles. One or two could be a coincidence but this is something else entirely.

• “Cabal”
• “billionaire class”
• “Santa Claus” (depicting a literal war on Christmas)
• “imaginary surge in “campus antisemitism.””

The entire premise of the article is that evil Zionists sabotaged the American left and manipulated the election, which is itself an antisemitic trope.

The whole point of using dog whistles is to create a sort of plausible deniability. I’m sorry, but in this case it seems like they slipped one by you.

Wasn’t it proven that the poor guy was convicted on bad science? Didn’t the original judge and prosecutor say he should go free?

I hate this stupid state

Imagine explaining this headline into somebody in 1990.

“Allergy butter” is my new name for Jif. Thanks.

“Don’t worry, Trump will be stopped because of the LAW”, has to be the stupidest argument that people are touting lately. When has that ever mattered?

Can someone ELI5? What is the problem that this solves?

Deeply disturbing. It’s so easy to forget that this is a picture of Iran in the 1970s.

who view Musk as overly assertive and self-promoting

… that’s one way to put it.
