They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

There is no common ground to be had at the expense of our sisters & daughters’ lives and our dignity as a people.

As an Iranian American, it feels like I need to help explain something:

A friend recently expressed confusion as to why those in the Iranian diaspora (liked myself), who hate the regime, would be opposed to the attacks on Iran.

I’ll try to explain my thoughts/feelings.

Just some creepy armed Mad Max guys trying to gain entry to Dodgers Stadium.

ICE says it wasn’t them. DHS says they were Border Patrol. But honestly who the hell knows? They’ve given permission for any psycho to put on a ski mask, point a gun, grab people & throw them into an unmarked vehicle.

Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

A cartoon illustration of two gray aliens with large black eyes sitting on a brown couch in a dark room, watching TV. They each hold a large bowl of popcorn, and one is eating while the other speaks. A speech bubble above one alien reads, "This season of Earth is crazy!" The scene is framed as if viewed through a circular window, with a starry night sky in the background.

I totally agree....

The image shows a hand-drawn watercolor sketch in a notebook of a Big Bend National Park landscape. The drawing features mountains and rocks with some vegetation, such as cacti, suggesting a dry environment typical of deserts. There is a clear blue sky above the scene. In the bottom right corner, there’s text that says “pinnacle trail,” indicating the location where artist Jen Schultes created this sketch. The style appears to be impressionistic with bold strokes and a limited color palette, which contributes to the sense of depth and texture in the scene.

One of my favorite places on earth. A plein air sketchbook painting done on the Pinnacle trail in Big Bend National Park. Sure hope I’ll be able to paint there again. #marchintonlandscapes #arid #artyear @altnps.bsky.social

“I find it frustrating and lazy that men don’t get involved,” Ryan Hamilton said. “Why are you not out here going, ‘How dare you?’ … You’re happy to let your wife or daughter go out and tell their nightmare story over and over again while you sit your lazy ass at home?”

There has been a lot of chatter today about Zelenskyy's meeting with Trump, some regarding this moment when White House correspondent Brian Glenn asked if the Ukrainian president plans to wear a suit. I want to address idea in this thread. 🧵

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there.
