I can't find the earlier post about this, so here's the prelude to that.


There was also a bunch of conservative pearl -clutching, of course, which is what the second tweet refers to.
But going on Ingraham 's show, WTF?
I'm pretty sure this went viral when it happened, after all.

Would people quit using different variations of her name and stick with MTG (Magic The Gathering?) because I'm tired of worrying if there's another one of her.

I sometimes call her Mangy Taylor Greene (my iPad tried to make that Gazpacho! 😂) but sometimes that takes too long to type.

Mitt Romney has another word for her. Also too general, though.

A thread on racist reporting on the Russia-Ukraine war.

Wow, just wow.

Like, if it was 'This is hitting a bit closer to home than we as Europeans are comfortable with' in whatever words, then I could see it, but that's some really bad word choice all around. Also, 'this isn't syrian' refugees' WTF - then it was 'They aren't real refugees because iphones' and now its, 'Omg, all these middle class europeans'?

Ugh.

And I'm with Ibram - I'm upset because people are dying, though I'll admit I'm a little more upset right now, since if dna testing sites are right, I've family living over there - I've even talked to a Russian cousin [we figure we're related via some of her Ukrainian relatives]. So, there is a little bit of a personal stake.

But that thread made me rethink the 'I'm proud of European heritage for a change'

What do you mean "if" ?
