Ayesha: Did you give [7-year-old] more cookies?
Me: 😯 Maybe?
Ayesha: She’s eaten a dozen cookies today. She doesn’t need more.
Me: But she sang me a song about how much she loves cookies. I couldn’t say no!
Ayesha: A song. Really😐
Me: She’s basically a starving artist😅
Ayesha: 🤦🏽‍♀️

Another example of media failure.

This extremely wealthy woman was drinking, driving 80mph in her Mercedes, and killed two young boys w/her car in front of their families—but media portrays her as the victim.

This is how media normalizes white supremacy. Unacceptable.

Evangelical leaders condemn Trump b/c, "He used us."

No—You knew exactly what you were doing when you excused his sexual abuse, his racism, his Islamophobia, his antisemitism, his white nationalism, his greed, & his corruption

You used him—and you lost

Key Evangelical Figures Turn On Trump: 'He Used Us'

One ripped the ex-president for acting "like a little elementary schoolchild." Another warned that if the GOP turns to him in 2024, "we will get destroyed.”

@QasimRashid saw this interesting journalism project https://areyoupressworthy.com/
AreYouPressworthy.com

See how the press would cover you if you went missing. Calculate your coverage, and join the fight for equality.

@QasimRashid (spoiler: you get press if you're a white woman)

@QasimRashid That happened very close to where I live and people are furious.

Now I'm even more furious, having seen this.

@QasimRashid LA Mag is working the jury on behalf of the defendant - appealing to other wealthy LA socialites who could see themselves in her shoes and stoking sympathy for her because she didn’t MEAN to hurt anybody and wow, what a nightmare for her!
@QasimRashid LA MAGA strikes again, the worst publication in the city by far
@QasimRashid absolutely media upholding white supremacy culture. You’re absolutely correct.

@QasimRashid

“Life became a nightmare” … says the woman who’s still alive.

@QasimRashid Sounds eerily familiar to the drugged-driving death of Anne Heche ... much of the coverage was "poor Anne Heche!" rather than "pity that poor family whose house was destroyed by her crazed suicidal driving!" https://www.tmz.com/2022/08/11/anne-heche-under-influence-cocaine-fentanyl-car-crash-house-condition/
Anne Heche Under Influence of Cocaine At Time of Car Crash

Anne Heche was not under the influence of alcohol when she crashed her car into a home last Friday, but she was under the influence of cocaine ... this according to law enforcement sources, and possibly fentanyl as well.

TMZ
@QasimRashid Wealthy and white. That says all you need to know. Wealthy and white.
@QasimRashid Exactly. The “feel sorry for me,” wealthy white person, as her victims don’t even get to have nightmares or dreams any longer. Just vile.
@QasimRashid reminds me of Ethan Couch.
@QasimRashid Wow! That reads like a gossip column, just "a frisky game of cat and mouse" at 80 mph, and very little mention of the two boys she left dead on the street. I'm sure she has it all justified in her head; white affluenza indeed.

@QasimRashid

It's true. If you're gonna crime, be white.

And I say that as a white dude who has been cuffed and arrested a couple of times.

It sucked, it was humiliating, and paying hundreds of dollars to get bailed out was hell on the budget.

But at no point did I fear for my life.

@QasimRashid Absolutely race had a lot to do with it. A wealthy Black woman would not have gotten the sympathy from LAMAG. But neither would a working class white woman. Race & class are closely entwined oppressions,
@QasimRashid that is disgusting coverage!
@QasimRashid as a lawyer, does it not trouble you to conflate drinking and driving in a case where the defendant has been proven to be under the legal limit?
@QasimRashid Rebecca is a drunken murderer and needs to go to prison for the rest of her life!
