We should be talking about the white supremacist origins of the political “pro-life” movement more. The rise of these anti-choice laws during the time of rising white supremacist violence is not a coincidence. This is where an intersectional analysis is sorely needed.

These ableist business practices of denying disabled ppl life insurance is completely legal. Why? The life insurance lobby is powerful as they spend millions to influence public policy that harms their customers. They spent $50 million on it in 2010.https://www.forbes.com/sites/hanisarji/2010/12/01/life-insurance-industry-is-spending-millions-lobbying-for-the-estate-tax-afbfs-latest-issue-brief/amp/ …

12) So all those US journalists enjoying the BBC/Andrew Neil takedown, and chuckling as Ben Shapiro trends on Twitter after his meltdown, should asks themselves why it took a *British interviewer* to do something so simple. Doesn't the US media need to make some changes? *ENDS*

9) But I'm still chuckling that Shapiro accused Andrew Neil (!) of being on the left, which is a reminder that 1) Shapiro doesn't do basic research before opening his mouth (hello Google!), and 2) US conservatives are now so far right that Neil comes across as left-wing to them!

5) We also can't pretend though that there isn't a cost to the BBC platforming extremists like Shapiro, & introducing them as mainstream, even if Shapiro is robustly interrogated for those extreme views. The IPPR's

4) Also a shame that Shapiro was able to get away with his shameless lie that the YouTube videos that are headlined as him "destroying" his opponents - cited by Neil - have nothing to do with him. A blatant, brazen, demonstrable falsehood:https://twitter.com/calebecarma/status/1126860267957125120?s=20 …

2) I'm torn on whether you give a platform to the likes of Shapiro, people who have said some horribly racist & extreme things, but if you're gonna interview them, this is how you damn well do it. Tough, to the point, well-prepared. And don't back down. Kudos to

Having white people call Kenyan food ugly as I was growing up was not a rare occurrence. I learned how white supremacy influences our beauty standards for food, too.

It sounds like someone desperately trying to come up with a creative way to say “cuisines! They have many flavors!”

Sometimes the best way to be an ally to is to not take up space. Especially important for Black women's voices to be front and center on this.

Because what we need is two white man's opinions on this? Isn't this how we got into this trouble in the first place?

Someone please explain to me what kaleidoscope of flavors means and how this is unique to Kenyan food and not a Eurocentric, otherizing framing of African food.https://twitter.com/CNN/status/1127053501857705989 …
