It's been a few days and I've had time to revisit the concept album and also listen to the Broadway recording, and I still think Carney's voice is too thin. I can't buy that this man's singing made the Furies cry.

I'm looking at this and I'm just like, man, I probably couldn't have told you who Haley Stevens was a week ago A random Rep. ~800 miles away from me? Usually not on my radar But then she had to go and be a racist bitch If she had just done nothin, I woulda had no opinion!
RavHaley Stevens quote-tweeting a clip from an interview with Abdul El-Sayed: “Everyone in America understands you want to blame all of your problems on Jewish Americans.”

Pretty standard for philosemites, tbh.
Joel S.It's especially galling that Haley Stevens is portraying herself as the great protector of the Jews in her campaign against a Muslim candidate, given that in 2022 she beat a wonderful Jewish Congressman in a costly primary in part by accusing him of being insufficiently pro-Israel.

I know I have RTd this several times, but: the WHOLE POINT of the State Department is that it’s supposed to be full of people who deal with other countries, and who could therefore be expected to look at that map and know IMMEDIATELY that it was wrong.
PBS NewsThe State Department said it takes "full responsibility" for "hastily" altering and then presenting a map of Africa at a global AIDS conference that mislabeled every single country it highlighted. An analysis by Reuters found a watermark in the map image that suggests it was made with OpenAI.

Yep, "you can't just fire people, keep their passports, do brutality, not even a little bit" was in some anti-slavery reforms to the H2A program in 2024. Farmers were outraged at the "gov't overreach & red tape." They went hard for Trump in '24, & he repealed those farm worker regs in June 2025.
Gaius Cassius LonginusI'm also guessing that the farmers in question didn't want their workers to be able to quit and that they wanted the right to "discipline" them for "poor performance" however they saw fit?
My first night working as a prep cook in The Fly By Night Club, which had a shtick about Spam including several menu items featuring it, the head chef had me taste what seemed to be something like a moist spice cake, then she told me it had Spam in it. I hadn't been able to tell.
