#Sinners has now grossed $161M at the worldwide box office 💰 • Made $45M in its second domestic weekend — a 6% drop • One of the smallest box office drops for a major film in modern history • Could finish its run making over $300M • Production budget was $90M

Like where is the #sinners discourse??? Bruh not every day politics.

Every time I’m on here everyone is always ranting and raving about one Trump thing or the other. Ughh sick of it. This man clearly doesn’t care about this country and we need to figure out how to actually fight against him and his team instead of yapping about it daily.

He ran on destruction and causing pain He's destroying and causing pain. Promises made, promises kept bitches.

"Sinners" opened to overwhelmingly positive reviews. It had a bigger opening weekend box office than 9 of the last 10 Oscar winners for Best Picture. Yet, mainstream media is questioning whether Ryan Coogler's magnum opus is a success Let them

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative. A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

😆😆😆

It’s a miracle any non-white, non straight, non-citizen person in America is getting any work done right now— —While the regime is actively trying to purge us from government, workplaces, universities from its websites, and from society in general.

😆😆

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

if you see this, post something pink.

Many people are about to remember again that we are INTERDEPENDENT. You may not like it but that's reality and that's being human.

I can’t believe how stupid everything is

The number of good points per minute in this video is extremely high, which is wild because it is 2 hours and 40 minutes long. youtu.be/teqkK0RLNkI?...

The next era will be women / femmes building into wealth+ power, especially physically. We already see the push back: Pressure for women be super thin and weak — literally unable to fight and protect themselves and others. Seeing more women pick up strength training / martial arts is a shift.

"freedom seeds" is somehow both cringe and incredibly dystopian

Shout out to Jeffrey Goldberg for reporting on this now instead of waiting two years to put it in a book.

this is where the analogy to Brexit is really useful. A similar attitude that the US is completely self-sufficient and needs nothing from anyone. Too bad a lot of innocent people are gonna find out the hard way that this isn’t true.

Feeling really frustrated today

Feeder got spiffy new visitors yesterday—check out the vest on this guy 🪶

So after promising to focus on safety, they’ve gotten right down to work… on gender terminology?

I don’t have to fend off the desire to comply in advance. Anyone who knows me knows that, fortunately or unfortunately, I would rather die than let someone I don’t respect tell me what to do.

That annoying moment when you go workout without your Apple Watch 😭😭😭

cannot be said enough that for a decade a critical number of americans have simply refused to accept that he means what he says

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

The highest compliment from someone who disagrees with you is not “You were right.” It’s “You made me think.” Good arguments help us recognize complexity where we once saw simplicity. The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It’s to promote critical thinking.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I haven’t read Beloved since I was a teenager in a survey of American Lit class! I’m so excited and nervous to read it with you all and @marcusluther.bsky.social. Join us here to discuss, laugh, cry, wonder, and share!

Anxiety ST🛑P 🤚🏾

I’ve decided to not be hopeless.

@aaronparnas.bsky.social is so earnest. I like that in a person.

it is very telling of these guys’ conception of how power works that they see issuing a flurry of executive orders as evidence of presidential strength and vigor and not a sign that the president is too weak to pursue a serious legislative agenda

As we endure these unprecedented assaults on our institutions and Democracy by Felon47 please take these wise words from James Baldwin to heart! We are the #Opposition let’s make their inhumanity our sole focus. Call it out every damn day!!

their view is that high status jobs ought to belong to white men, who exist at the top of a natural hierarchy

i think the executive orders directing agencies to end energy efficiency regulations and open up more land to drilling and mining is so indicative of the character of the american right — in its view everything, whether people or our larger environment, is something to be exploited and dominated

In fact it’s for everything! Haven’t we learned by now? Stop reacting and focus on actually doing work. Whether it’s just getting yourself and your money together for the next few years, or community work, do that instead of shitposting memes about how much you hate orange guy.

I hate how reactive the liberals and leftists on this app are. Now there are a bunch of memes about this “cold weather inauguration” thing and how his such a “sissy” like who fucken cares. All this shit is so childish. Stop legitimizing this man. This whole presidential thing is a farce.

I’m about to create a personal website for real.

So weird that this government is really gonna ban a social media app. Just cos they can’t compete

Gorgeous ✨

I have been wondering why US leftists and liberals alike are so terrible at long term strategy lately. Then I remembered that we’re in this predicament because neither camp listens to Black people or respects our history in this country beyond lip service. Abolition & civil rights took *centuries.*

one thing i’m stuck on is this idea that “masculine” energy means license to act like a chud in public, as opposed to more traditional notions of public masculinity, such as those that put a premium on the performance of integrity, honesty, honor and generosity.

i am watching clips from the hegseth hearings and it is a goddamn insult to this country that this chucklefuck was even nominated

I barely know how to “tweet” anymore 😭

Whitewashing the uncomfortable parts of the past doesn't just affect Black stories. For example, you can't fully appreciate how a peanut farmer from Plains, GA became a beloved president unless you know TRUE Black History. The unwhitewashed history of Jimmy Carter: A thread.

i’m kind of amazed at how this is just the crudest, most obvious n****rbaiting you can imagine. “the people you don’t like, yeah, they are responsible for everything bad.” and it works!
