Another example of America being quintessentially American and Americans being like "what is this?? China????"

I remember walking down the street and seeing a sign protesting George W. Bush’s war on Iraq, so I think that.

I don't know about a news story, but my first "political" memory was something about the torture memos

my first political memory is photographs from abu ghraib

Bill Clinton vs Bob Dole 1996 presidential election. I went to bed worried what would happen if he didn't win and my parents were like don't worry about it.

i love when museums have near exact replicas of their displayed objects for you to buy. haha 15th century ceramic cup you are in my possession

Adding him to my toy story: night at the museum movie immediately

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

Also, I cannot emphasize enough, that an American actress wearing these while US is literally doing war crimes in Iran, is a bad look.
