Surely the President’s task force on antisemitism will be looking into this pronto to figure out how this could have happened.

Michael Twitty is a remarkable writer, historian, and cook. You should read this book, and if you can, check out this event.

Mainstream America: We are obsessed with Heated Rivalry and Drag Race. We love them and can't get enough.
American Democrat politicians: LGBT people are not culturally normal. We will not speak of them.

"Hi. My name is [your name]. I am calling on Gov. Ivey to grant mercy to Sonny Burton who is set to be executed on March 12, 2026. Not only does the State of Alabama admit that he was not the killer and received a grossly disproportionate sentence compared to the actual killer, but Sonny's health is deteriorating rapidly. Crippling Rheumatoid Arthritis leaves him reliant on a wheelchair and a high fall risk. He even wears a helmet to protect his head during falls. Killing Sonny will not serve the people of Alabama. Please commute his sentence."

Please take a moment, please, to call Gov. Ivey at 334-242-7100 with the following message provided by Death Penalty Action

Alabama set to execute man who did not kill anyone Unless Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey intervenes, Charles “Sonny” Burton, 75, will be executed Thursday. He is among thousands in America convicted under a controversial felony murder law.

Sonny Burton is set to be executed by the state of Alabama on Thursday. There is a direct line between a government that murders its own citizens and the devaluing of life abroad. The sin has always started at home.

A celebration of the South's rich — and messy — heritage, delivered on a plate In a new cookbook, culinary historian Michael W. Twitty pays homage to the rich tapestry of cultures that have shaped Southern cuisine — and keeps a gimlet eye on the region's complicated history.

i think this is what drives me nuts. people talk about how, say, the UN was founded by "starry eyed idealists" who didn't understand "reality." the truth is that the UN was founded by those who had just fought and *won* the bloodiest war in human history.

Goes without saying but this is a Massive problem, not just in what they’re doing but who they are literally, per our sources, drawing inspiration — about what to do next in the twin cities and elsewhere — from how the U.S. has handled foreign wars including ones we lost

Exactly. Southern food is black ingenuity. @koshersoul.bsky.social knows.

the bad bunny football concert is even better after knowing exactly how mad it made the worst people

Jewish men like Woody Allen and Philip Roth spent a lot of their careers making art about how Jewish women are unappealing and wow did that affect me. We have historically gotten that and then the hypersexualization of Monica Lewinsky. Not great!

Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Even the commentators can’t hide it…

State violence against Black Americans laid the groundwork for fascism | Jason Stanley Fascism feeds on the arbitrary killings that have long plagued the US. Ending the horror starts with abolishing ICE

“As Ida B Wells noted in her 1892 book Southern Horrors: ‘They forget that a concession of the right to lynch a man for a certain crime … concedes the right to lynch any person for any crime.’”

@koshersoul.bsky.social so lovely to watch you on PBS tonight

Thank you!!

Here's a great read for Black History Month (or any month!). In The Cooking Gene, James Beard award-winning culinary and cultural historian @koshersoul.bsky.social travels the South, tracing his roots and the history of Southern cuisine.

p.s. Please buy books from indies not ICE-enabling oligarchs.
