Outraging converse campaign. Pairing a long white tunic with a beam of light shaped like a star creates visual imagery that uncomfortably mirrors hate group iconography and white supremacist symbolism. Using such insensitive aesthetic choices just to market sneakers is unacceptable. Boycott converse

An artistic photograph with an abstract, minimalist studio setting shows a person’s lower legs and feet on a large, illuminated white five-pointed star on a dark floor. The person wears black high-top Converse Chuck Taylor sneakers with white laces, white toe caps, and white star logos on the ankles, with black socks and a long white tunic or skirt. They hold up another pair of black high-top sneakers by the laces. Three additional pairs of black high-top sneakers are placed on the dark floor around the star-shaped light. The background features geometric fabric hangings, with a subtle text on a white cloth in the upper background.

Funny how Donny blamed Iran for this... United Nations investigators said Thursday that there were reasonable grounds to conclude that two U.S. airstrikes on Iran in February in which at least 178 civilians died had been indiscriminate and amounted to war crimes. #WarCrimes #Blues #SheShed

With 45 days until the midterms, I urge you all to: 1) Help get out the vote. 2) Protect our electoral machinery from interference. 3) Not succumb to complacency, defeatism, or cynicism. We are the only ones who can end this nightmare. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

By moving to the “center,” Democrats have failed to fight the forces that led us to Donald Trump: widening inequality, economic insecurity, and the unchecked political power of corporations and the rich. Political centrism is nonsense. There is no middle ground between democracy and oligarchy.

Mike Rogers refuses to talk about gas, groceries, seeing a doctor, or our broken infrastructure. Mike Rogers only wants to talk about old culture wars fought by small people with smaller ideas and no solutions to our actual problems.

The year is 1997. The President was born in 1946. The year is 2007. The President was born in 1946. The year is 2017. The President was born in 1946. The year is 2027. The President was born in 1946. I'm gonna throw up.

I’m a former in-house lawyer for Harvard. During my recent role as DEI Director at UCLA, I fixated my AuDHD brain on digesting, analyzing and memorizing Project 2025. Since then, unfortunately every one of my political predictions has come to pass. P2025 is 55% complete. The last 1/2 is terrifying.
