It’s an old, old, old nickname, coming from a time when the city was almost completely white, filled with midwestern transplants, and very much a conservative sundown town. No one thinks of Long Beach that way anymore, but “Iowa by the Sea” *is* its historic nickname.

F***ing antisemites trying to distract people from their racism and Islamophobia by pointing and shouting “JEWS!” Like THAT will make the world safer for you. Like THAT won’t bite you (and your kids) in the ass.

My hometown, Long Beach CA, was called “Iowa by the Sea.” It became majority-minority in the early 90s, I think? Did I throw a tantrum? No. It’s been awesome. The racists moved away, the city got friendlier, and we got Khmer restaurants. Europe will survive and flourish with demographic shift.

Europe has been undergoing DRAMATIC cultural and demographic shifts since the beginning: Picts being wiped out by Celts, Celts being wiped out by Romans, along come Gauls, along come Normans, along come Vikings and “sea peoples,” on and on and on. We’re supposed to believe that Somalis are the

To a lot of us it looks as if Europe is shooting itself in the foot (Brexit, the rise of the Right) because of its innate racism and Islamophobia. But this guy wants Europeans to think, “Actually, it’s the Jews again”? Into the volcano with him.

GOP states (and therefore GOP VOTERS) practice voter suppression at a level that is absolutely criminal. In my city you can't throw a rock without hitting a polling place. My nearest polling place: one block up. 2nd nearest: 3 block walk. 3rd nearest: 6 block walk. GOP voters love this.

19th C. novels had all of these references to Londoners wearing “pattens” outside their doors to avoid the “ashes”— Pattens were raised wooden-block shoes, and ashes were a euphemism for piles of feces (human and animal) that could gather in a sludge around your stoop if you were in a low spot.

For my entire life I wondered how virulent racist and antisemite Henry Ford would have been talked about at the time and now I get to watch the press cover sig-heiling white supremacist Elon Musk without even mentioning that he's a nazi.

So I learned yesterday! I expressed incredulity and many kind people stepped forward to school me! (To be clear: I expressed incredulity because an antisemite had posted that Jews were hiding kosher bread from gentiles so that gentiles would get stomach cramps. I said, “kosher bread? Nonsense!”)

I’m 100% in favor of regulations that require establishments to accurately report the status of their offerings so that patrons can stay in compliance with their religious beliefs, whatever the religion. But kashrut can have a lot of different levels, right? Once I would have said “no, kosher is

Ilhan Omar’s home was raided today, weeks after border czar Tom Homan cited an “ongoing criminal investigation.” It reportedly involves immigration paperwork when she was a child. There is NOT an ongoing investigation of Homan taking $50,000 in an FBI bribery sting because Trump killed that probe.
