What the fuck is this

El Paso is legit cool! It’s a particular kind of cool, for sure, but still fuckin rad. And Juarez is one of my favorite places on earth. Ya just gotta get through the racist, classless expanse of Texas or the bathtub meth lab known as New Mexico to get there which sucks

Bari Weiss is the fuckin lamest cult leader ever

ICE: Houston-area Trump-themed burger joint owner now facing deportation Roland Beainy, the Lebanese owner of President Donald Trump-themed restaurants in and around Houston, is facing deportation.

This is beautiful

Bahamadia, Lauryn Hill … Maybe have a lil Native Tongues reunion with everybody who’s still alive/willing to be on a stage together too as an added treat? Get Doechii to MC the whole thing?

Tell me that would kill.

I was listening to a Native Tongues playlist and reminded me of the sheer number of certified bangers women MCs put out in the late 80s and 90s is just astounding. I would fuck SO HARD with a festival lineup of Queen Latifah Monie Love MC Lyte Salt n Pepa Roxanne Shante Lady of Rage Missy Elliott

Quite the “Latinos are animals who you put down when they’re busted” and “Black people are lazy” racism combo
