  • Which is doubly duplicitous because the era of “Republican leaders get their party to fall in line, Democrat leaders have to herd cats” ended long ago. These days, it’s the Republicans who can be disruptive and undermine leadership and get rewarded for it, while it’s the Democrat leadership has an iron grip on the party.


  • The latest effort in the Times is an Op-Ed, “Our Fathers Marched With King. Here’s What They Would Say to Activists Today.” Authors Donzaleigh Abernathy and Avi Dresner mourn the “erosion of the Black-Jewish alliance” and urge pro-Palestine activists to find “common ground” with Zionists.

    Besides the general lameness that is proclaiming what the dead would think of modern politics, both because it’s not relevant and because it always amazingly aligns with the politics of the person doing the proclaiming, the immensely feeble invocation of “what our fathers did” is pathetic. Yes, your fathers marched, you didn’t. You don’t get some genetic inheritance to that work. You’re a Broadway star and a Zionist writer, respectively, don’t act like you’ve got some authority here. It’s like “Do you know who my father is?” but not even who he was, just who he was around.

    Anyway, if we want to talk about what civil rights leaders of old thought of the treatment of Palestinians, let’s see what Malcolm X had to say about it.




  • What you’re doing with your hair is healthier for it than a lot of “acceptable” stylings for black hair. One thing I would say though, not a “do a different routine” thing but rather what you do it with: a lot of those 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioners have stuff in them like sulfates that are not good for curly/textured/black hair. So would be a good idea to check the ingredients on it to make sure there’s nothing problematic in it.
