I would never bring an iced coffee to a job interview, because then I would be showing my weakness and how to destroy me by revealing I must regularly imbibe water-based liquids to survive. I have definitely read and understood Machiavelli.

Is asking someone to leave the beverages at home for an interview as fussy as reminding a lady to wear pantyhose or a gentleman to ask before lighting a cigarette? We assembled a team of Post staffers across the newsroom — and commenters — to find out: wapo.st/4dwx0LS

Take your iced coffee....and enjoy it. Take your hot coffee...and enjoy it. If someone is telling you how and when to enjoy your coffee, ask them what their vote plan is and if they have drafted a sample ballot to prepare for November. Becuase that's actually good discourse.

Democrats have long viewed (and reified) different minorities as interest groups unto themselves to hoover up through multicultural appeals and basically have no serious socioeconomic ambition.

I just love how many liberals are out here attacking Graham Planter with no self awareness. Like accidentally getting an obscure Nazi tattoo while drunk? Unforgivable. Supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians? Well, we all *counts AIPAC money* make mistakes.

We are edging close to an argument that all left public figures need to think like political strategists first, constantly measuring the impact of their work on the Democratic Party's electoral prospects. We saw that frame used against racial justice protesters in 2020-22; Gaza protesters in 2024.

there’s a scene in the new documentary where Elizabeth Taylor is talking about the stigma of AIDS and how she got involved in the movement and it’s fucking everything

Elizabeth Taylor in an 80s press conference speaking on the stigma of AIDS “…And it so angered me that I finally thought to myself, Bitch, do something yourself.” from the documentary “Elizabeth Taylor: The Lost Tapes.”

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.

I’ve been thinking about how the white moderate think about free speech. Where calling for violence and the dehumanization of entire groups of people is merely supposed to be pluralism at work rather than an a threat to that pluralism.

Btw here’s that epic moment the churches all came together and began ringing their bells as loud as possible for the protesters in DC. More profound than car horns. These are not the average recorded chimes we usually hear. They laid on them heavy for the people.
