ICE tried to kill peaceful protesters in LA today. I pray they didn’t succeed.

"These are real people with real families" cool when they come home do they tell the kids about how they busted up an elementary school graduation that day

Have fun at World Pride today, everyone. Be safe and look after each other. (Sorry, I’m always going to be a momma!)

Eli Joshua dropped another set of gems on Instagram. This time talking about MJB’s approach to Stack. Also, the song choice. Another jewel Coogler dropped on us. #Sinners.

Coco Gauff on what it means for her to represent America: ‘I’m proud to be American. I’m proud to represent Americans that look like me’ (via Roland Garros Press)

Some songs will make you stop whatever you're doing, wherever you are, say some version of "this is my SONG," and surrender to the music. For Day 7 of the #BlackMusicMonthChallenge, share your stop-everything-when-this-song-comes-on jam.

"I gave national secrets, billions in government contracts and everyone's Social Security data to a big-time drug addict" seems like something Congress should hold hearings about.

Imagine putting on all this tactical gear and latching onto a military assault vehicle so you can storm a minimall on Sepulveda and apprehend a line cook at family restaurant.

#CocoGauff is a multiple grand slam champion 🏆 🥇 Incredible final, a worthy champion. Women's tennis 🎾 is in great hands. #RolandGarros #FrenchOpen

DRUMPF ….He was basically telling him don’t forget where you came from‼️

Coco Gauff raises her Roland Garros trophy. So much joy. So much pride. One of the happiest moments of her young life… so deserved. 🥹🏆

Sinners studies

ICE arrested former Afghan Nat'l Army soldier—our ally against Taliban—at his home in TX. He entered legally and atty says he has no criminal record. Was applying for asylum. Appears to be casualty of Trump decision de-documenting legal Afghan immigrants www.houstonpublicmedia.org/articles/new...

‼️‼️‼️‼️

This is so jarringly unAmerican that I sort of hope it wakes some normies up. It is occurring in a context where military-style equipment is being used to enforce immigration roundups and conveys the notion that we are increasingly living in a police state.

Removing people from public service because of their identity is the grossest and least-defensible form of anti-trans bigotry.

TSA urges people to stop trying to use a Costco card as a sufficient REAL ID

Elementary school graduation.

Scenes like this were DIRECTLY caused by Stephen Miller's wailing that ICE can't arrest the number of people he promised they would arrest (bc he lied abt how many criminal aliens there are).

Germany’s Chancellor Merz presented Trump the birth certificate of his German grandfather, Friedrich Trump. It was a clever jab to remind Trump he’s a German immigrant.

The blockbuster horror film "Sinners" features the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians in a short, impactful scene. For some Choctaw, it is the first time they've heard their language and seen their culture accurately portrayed on screen.

Some people condemn professional trolls who share child sexual abuse material. We prefer to take a vaguely amused, aloof stance that treats them as “characters” and denotes our contempt for people with beliefs or values. Tomorrow in the NYT.

Did these storms "come out of nowhere" or has the highly accurate weather forecasting system that we came to take for granted in recent decades been decimated by Trump administration purges at the NOAA and other related agencies?

solidarity with LA. fuck ICE.

These deeply violent tactics are targeting mothers, fathers, community leaders — workers. There needs to be accountability for what was done to @seiuca.bsky.social's David Huerta

Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.

Dems, when they see one of the least popular men in the US is no longer attached to the Republican party: "We should connect our campaigns to him!"

I will not associate with Nazis

No no no no no!!! These bloody Charlie Brown idiots.

If you’re still treating Jonathan Greenblatt like anything other than an enabler of fascism I don’t know what to tell you

live from the huge spontaneous anti-ICE protest after the agency used military-style tactics during a series of raids in Los Angeles today.

if you’ve ever wondered “who tf would invite a vampire into their home” please allow me to introduce you to

ICE waited until a woman’s lawyer went to the restroom then dragged her away. She fainted from stress and they dragged her unconscious body into the elevator, refusing medical attention.

Born and raised in Los Angeles County, David Huerta is a champion for justice and a good neighbor. Today, while advocating for his community during an ICE raid, he was injured and arrested. These raids are dangerous for our families and communities. They are unjust and must end.

I think our big problem is the Democratic party is decent at governing and terrible at culture war tactics, and the Republican party is terrible at governing and great at culture war tactics. And the media loves culture war stories.

the juke scene in sinners is such a masterpiece

Finally watched Sinners and, man, Ryan Coogler is givin’ the people what they want. Vampires, an incredible soundtrack and two Michael B. Jordans. May Hollywood continue to let him cook.
