If I was allowed to do a confessional with South Africa’s president right after he left Trump in the Oval Office—this is what I imagine he would have said to me 😂

On a day meant to honor her father, who died in the line of duty, she kept it calm, cool, and completely expressionless while accepting a Medal of Sacrifice from a man she clearly doesn’t rock with. That takes restraint, not reverence. Respect.

Alexandria Diaz giving District 12 realness—Katniss in couture.

I saw the video of her response after going viral, and yep—confirmed: sis had to wrestle her soul into submission just to keep it from leaping out her face while standing next to Trump.

On Trump and his holy cosplaying.

Some of y’all still out here thinking the word “criminal” can’t one day mean you—or me, or anybody else who steps outta line or asks too many questions. History books been trying to warn us. But too many of y’all are tuned out and just scrolling. Great convo this morning on KBLA!

China out here spilling the luxury tea—and baby, I’m just here to co-sign and say that I will never spend more on a purse than I do on rent. Not when the same bag is getting slapped with a “Made in Italy” sticker after flying coach from Beijing. Y’all keep playing. I’ll keep paying my bills.

And yet… no handcuffs, no charges, no stress. Must be magic. 💅🏾

I’ve been layin’ low. 💅🏾

My attorneys advised me not to talk to @joshmankiewicz.bsky.social —but I have nothing to hide. I want y’all to know my side of the story first before this #Dateline episode airs—allegedly on May 4.

Imma #Democrat and I’m gonna stay a Dem, because the majority of my people and the issues I care about rest squarely within this party. But being a Democrat doesn’t mean I’m giving anyone a free pass. I’m here to push the party to do better, to be better. #DemocraticParty

Trump is accusing nations the world over, “friend and foe alike,” of having “looted, pillaged, raped and plundered” the United States. So let’s dissect today’s colonizer logic and America’s ironic case of amnesia.

Democrats Need A Kendrick Lamar Masterclass on How to Win a Beef | I Am Jasmyne Cannick Democrats need to ditch the civility charade and understand that when they go low--we go scorch the Earth.

The Democrats need a Kendrick Lamar Masterclass on how to win a beef. It's long past time to ditch the civility charade and understand that when they go low--we don't go high--we go scorch the Earth. iamjasmyne.com/democrats-ne...

The Taco Bell Security Guard Got Fired. Great. Now Where Are the Charges? | I Am Jasmyne Cannick A viral video shows a Black woman getting punched by a security guard at a Taco Bell Cantina in L.A. He got fired—but where are the charges?

With #DEI getting gutted, we’re done playing nice. I’m moderating #NoFilterNoApology: Black & Queer in Hollywood at @PAFFNow—where we’re getting real about breaking barriers & demanding real representation.

V for Vendetta fans only.

Ain’t y’all tired of playing the cultural tour guide? If Kendrick laced his halftime show with hidden symbolism, it was for us—not for us to play cultural tour guides. That’s how we keep losing control of our own narratives. Let them sit with the mystery for once.

#GatekeepingForGood

Shoutout to Kendrick for leaving the N-word out of his Super Bowl set. The last thing we need is Chad from accounting feeling (even more) empowered.

Black immigrants exist. #Blackimmigrants are being deported. And Black immigrants are too often left out of the convo.

PAFF and BAJI are shining a light on their stories in LA. If you care about immigration & racial justice, pull up.

Funny, because from where I’m lying, it feels like peace and freedom. It feels like sanity. I’ll probably get the best sleep I’ve had since November 4, 2024. I know I have to come back eventually, but for now? For now, I’ll take this deep exhale, jump up and down in the bed while screaming #FDT.

I didn’t realize how much I needed this—time away from the noise, from the tension, from the slow-burning dread of what’s next. And the best part? I’m in one of the so-called “shithole” countries he despises.

POV: Falling asleep in a country where Donald Trump isn’t president, isn’t on the news every 5 minutes, and isn’t a looming existential threat. A place where his name doesn’t hijack every conversation, where the air feels lighter simply because his chaos isn’t woven into it.

Let’s stop explaining ourselves to people who don’t want to get it. #Trump and his ilk may want to erase #DEI, but they can’t erase us. This is a fight for the future, and it’s up to all of us to make sure equity doesn’t just survive—it takes up permanent space, whether they like it or not.

What do #SnoopDogg and #CaitlynJenner have in common? They're about to #FAFO over the next 4 yrs that their proximity to #whiteness and their wealth won't shield them from the systems they think they've transcended. They won't be alone. iamjasmyne.com/snoop-dogg-a...

Ok, I am here. Let me set this profile up correctly.
