I'm reading @irincarmon.bsky.social 's "Unbearable" right now and it's bringing that home for me in a whole new way. The amazing Black OB/GYN who's solving all these problems should make people think what if we were encouraging the creativity of women AND Black people AND everyone else! Even men lol

Absolutely not. Think about Pedro!

Jared Kushner is part of Paramount's hostile bid for Warner Bros. Discovery Paramount is telling WBD shareholders that it has a smoother path to regulatory approval than does Netflix.

This is all I want for Christmas.

I'm from the government and I'm not really here to help New Orleans made it through 2025 without a hurricane, but we’re ringing out the old year with another kind of disaster. And like the levee failures 20 years ago, it's man-made.

Kevin McGill: "We opened 2025 here in New Orleans with a lone-wolf terrorist attack ... in the French Quarter. We’re ending it with government terrorists spreading fear and anger at our local Home Depots and in working class suburbs like Marrero."

Guy came up to me, big guy, strong guy, tears in his eyes and he said sir American football sucks. Sir, I think we should call it something else because soccer is rightfully America's best sport, as all red-blooded quote-unquote football fans can agree

This is the most horrific trophy I’ve ever seen. It looks like a cursed object found in a desert crypt.

ICE is not some far away boogeyman. They are here right now, spreading fear in our community. We’re so grateful to our entire staff and their bravery. They did the right things and couldn’t have dealt with this situation in a better way. We are grateful to our community activists that came to support us from @miracmn @litosonlake and Monarcha. We hope that if you find yourself in the same situation, that you find these resources helpful. Peace and take care of each other ❤️

WE ARE HEARTBROKEN THAT OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES IN THE TWIN CITIES ARE BEING TARGETED AND TERRORIZED BY THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION. THESE ARE REAL PEOPLE THAT ARE BEING USED AS POLITICAL PAWNS AND IT'S APPALLING. REGARDLESS OF THEIR LEGAL STATUS, THERE ARE SO MANY LATINOS & SOMALIANS WHO ARE AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED DUE TO MISTAKEN IDENTITY BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY MIGHT NOT GET DUE PROCESS & A FAIR TRIAL. THEY WILL JUST END UP IN DETENTION CENTERS & A LEGAL PROCESS THAT HAS BEEN DESCRIBED AS A BLACK HOLE. WE STAND IN SUPPORT OF OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY, WHO ARE THE BACKBONE OF THIS COUNTRY. WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS, AMERICA IS NOT THE SAME PLACE. STAY SAFE OUT THERE & TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBORS. LOVE, HOLA AREPA & HAI HAI (5/5)

ICE raided a James Beard award winning restaurant & because the chef/owner was prepared, left emptyhanded:

Also, what happens to the drugs if they flip the boat over, don’t they at least get… Wet? What a morally and intellectually empty vessel he is.

rfk jr wants to kill your kids, it’s really that simple.

this is extraordinary. too many people in my profession have circled the wagons around someone who lacks the moral sense of a child

Before applauding the DOD IG too much, it's fairly absurd that he did not:

(a) launch a broader investigation into Hegseth's use of Signal - what else did he compromise?;
(b) take him to task for his non-cooperation; &
(c) try to get the full Signal chats from other agency IGs.

Worth yet another post:

Reminder about Jan 6:

it really happened
It was a horror
140+ police were injured
A range of violent weapons were used by attackers
Chants to hang Mike Pence were heard
There was a gallows and guns
Pipe bombs diverted police as mob approached

I kind of miss Pan Am.

And I pray, he loses it

Also can we just say their writing just sucks the more they’re paid to muddy the obvious? Which makes sense.

If you have information about why Hakeem Jeffries has turned into such a Trump shill? Please Signal me. No, actually, just reply here.

This almost makes me cry, because this is what I saw in New Orleans.

Calling him an opposition leader is a little strong. More like a weaksauce copycat

"Let me yet again take an appealing anti-corruption argument off the table," says a charisma heat sink so deep you could put Harrison Ford next to him and watch Indiana Jones turn into Seth Macfarlane.

I know it’s hard but deposing him should become a litmus test in Dem 2026 primaries. I used to admire him.

Kavanaugh Stops
What if ICE was stopping cars and
busting out windows with rifle butts because
the people inside
"looked Jewish"
