7. It really did not!
Thu Feb 26, 2026, 04:19 PM
Thursday

I posted this because this has to stop.

We have a strong progressive Muslim woman who's allowing an older white man to speak for her. Jaw dropping sexism.

Then the campaign ads are full of racist and anti-Semitic dog whistles that a child could've told the campaign not to say.

And the last straw was the decision to use a high powered law firm to shut up the older Black woman. People here are furious.
