i was not at all anticipating this latest “28…Later” film to be a genuinely profound coming-of-age tale

Lots of lovely folks want to cook for neighbors, fill community fridges during SNAP shutdown but are intimidated. A mutual aid group in Flatbush, Brooklyn has been feeding 80+ people every single week for a year and a half or so now. Nobody is born knowing how to cook for 80, so here's our guide!

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

This is the political version of Drake saying, "I wasn't hiding my kid from the world, I was hiding the world from my kid."

A lot of folks would crush like soda cans if they had to be Black for a week.

The civil rights movement lasted decades. The abolition movement took centuries. And lemme tell you, the adversity level was *a lot* higher than this. Watching so many fold already is blowing me.

This is a dry-run for the mid-terms.

lol if you're confused about what the endgame in the U.S. is, it's apartheid. Minority white rule and relentless extraction and exploitation of a non-white majority. 🤷🏿‍♀️

As someone from the 1900s, this is what bodies are supposed to look like.

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

This is no shade to Chicago but this actually started in LA. They bought out a ton of vendors to keep them home.

Trump Administration Is Legally Required to Provide SNAP in Shutdown, Contrary to Its Claims Secretary Rollins’ claim that the Trump Administration is unable to deliver November SNAP benefits during a shutdown is unequivocally false. The Administration is legally required to use contingency r...

The Administration is legally required to use contingency reserves to fund November benefits for the 1 in 8 Americans who need #SNAP to afford groceries, despite USDA Sec. Rollins’ claim that the Administration is unable to do so. My statement: www.cbpp.org/press/statem...

The ‘Black people don’t tip well’ is v much a self-fulfilling prophesy. You think that, you give shitty subpar service and you get a tip that reflects the quality of your attention to Black guests 🤷🏾‍♀️

White people’s willingness to give other white people the benefit of the doubt despite any and all evidence that they shouldn’t will be the death of us all.

This is literally the plot of Sinners (2025) 😂

Just looking at this is trash ….Look how early it’s going to get dark now

Unfortunately, the key to getting things accomplished does require me to put my phone down.

It do be that damn phone. 😞

a mass psychosis has seized our country. a quarter of the population has entered a hallucinatory frenzy, believing that paradise is just around the corner if they simply indulge their desire to purge lower races and install an emperor. the rest have slipped into a coma, unable to decide what is real

Whew. Girl talk about it. It got much easier when I accepted that some folks come into your life for reasons and seasons. And when their reason is done, it's ok for their season to end. I learned to appreciate the experience for what it was rather than trying to capture it forever.

Every DAY in this MF

Trump nominee says he has a ‘Nazi streak,’ bashes MLK Jr. Day, according to texts Paul Ingrassia’s bid to lead a whistleblower agency is set for a Senate confirmation hearing Thursday.

A Trump nominee reportedly told a group of Republicans in a text chain that he has a "Nazi streak" and the MLK Jr holiday should be “tossed into the seventh circle of hell”

wanda sykes for sure

Just In Case was the song being discussed that sent me down that rabbit hole. Because "give me some before i go in case this street shit gets me killed tonight" is a wild as ask. Right up there with Louis begging Sharon "let's do it for our country" in Grease 2.

Lunch is on the house: Being in the heart of downtown DC, we love that so many of our Federal employees stop by during lunch for a Donburi at China Chilcano or a Fútbol Club at Jaleo. And just because the government is shut down doesn't mean you have to miss out on your favorite lunch spot- because this time, its on us! Join us for lunch from 11:30 AM to 3:00 PM at any of our participating restaurants and enjoy a free lunch item when you present your government ID-you heard that right! Dine in with us Monday through Friday and choose your favorite: a sandwich at Jaleo, a donburi at China Chilcano, a wrap or pita at Zaytinya, or a torta at Oyamel. We've always believed in serving our community with open arms and good food-no shutdown can stop that.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

Chicago = Black in most white people's minds
It is also a sanctuary city meaning it protects undocumented people
It also has the second largest population of Mexicans outside of Mexico
Blue State
Outspoken Black Mayor in very Blue City
Outspoken Governor who is likely to run in '28

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.
