Right-wing media has a formula: take a common phrase, pretend it means something monstrous, and pound away until a scandal exists. They just did it to a Chicago alderwoman.
I give you a lot of credit, Parker. This media landscape gets dumber and dumber, but you're still out here doing the Lord's work by covering it. I can't thank you enough for your service.
Those Maggat fuckers say a lot of truly stupid things that don’t need bad faith to highlight their cruelty. We should be doing the exact same thing to them.
I already knew what the councilwoman was going to look like before I saw the picture. Not saying it’s a race/gender matter because I don’t have evidence. But let’s just say, being a queer non-white woman myself, I’ve learned that I have to be VERY careful with how I express myself regarding certain topics. And even then I’ve had my words twisted.

Thanks, Parker. Great reporting and analysis! I'm tempted to say "well, there they go again"
Ah nuance, ah humanity. Thanks Parker for calling this out.
