LA is HOT. But does it have to be this hot?
Did you know shade from a single tree can drop temps by 20° or more? Yet working-class neighborhoods like South LA, East LA, and the Valley get the least tree coverage and bear the brunt of extreme heat. Let's change that and finally cool things down for everyone.
We need to also please be very loud and supportive for Kendall who was violently raped by an LSU football player and bravely told her story to the world
“It wasn’t a mistake”🤔
“Who knew Jack Smith was a Caitlin Clark fan?” 🤔
@Eric_Schmitt pathetically attempts to play it off and act like he didn’t publicly humiliate himself in front of the nation today 🤡
As we talk about what happened at Cornell, there is a young Black woman student Kendall Francis down at LSU who also came forward this month to talk about the way LSU mishandled her report of sexual assault from a football player. She reported the assault immediately, went to the hospital and had a kit done. The school found him liable (Title IX); he admitted it. He was suspended but not for as long as is standard. Appealed. He was allowed to return to football, despite the finding.
Taylor: “Drew if you sitting next to Devens own your wolf.”
Drew: “I know. It’s gonna be tough but–“
Taylor: “No. LaLa would say that Devens is a wolf in sheep's clothing. So "own your wolf" just be a wolf.” #bb28
This is Cereese Qusba, the hero investigative journalist for the Cornell Daily Sun who doggedly pursued the story about the Cornell 7 for two years, blowing the lid off what had happened when her article was finally published on the 19th..
With so many dark posts about such a horrific incident, Ms. Qusba’s work shows the importance of journalism in accountability. She is the best of Cornell.
“rape is something that lives, the fear of it lives in our body, and when stories like this come out and it’s really not picked up in a way that you hope that is picked up it makes me feel scared, it makes me feel anxious, it makes me feel so much rage” ❤️🩹
Paramount and a coalition of 12 state attorneys general are defending their antitrust settlement after Sen. Cory Booker's call for additional scrutiny, arguing that their deal has “teeth” and does not need an independent “public interest” review:
• Booker argues the five-year enforcement period is not enough to protect the industry from potential harm caused by the merger, leaving no protections in place after it expires
• Paramount believes the five-year term was a reasonable outcome, given the fast-changing nature of the film and TV business

Remembering Promising Young Women. It not only captured men's conformity to men's sexual violence but the system's as well. And how men's sexual violence destroys women's futures, & even their lives, while protecting rapists'.
You’re only seeing the information about the Cornell 7 because the victim is suing.
Put that into perspective and get a lot angrier.
And this happened two years ago
Florence Pugh calls out Instagram for blocking her post calling for seven Cornell fraternity members to be held accountable for sexual assault:
“Great! Another lovely lesson to teach people that if you speak up about it, we will silence you! Good job I saved it. I’ll give it another go.”
@GovPressOffice Hmmm it’s almost like having a whole bunch of networks owned by just 3-4 people who can push whatever stories they want without accountability is bad. Guess AG should have taken paramount to court and not made a deal like you wanted.
That only the outrage of the media exposing this horrible the case is being reopened.
And this exactly the reason we need freedom of the press. So when 1 entity meant to serve and protect Choose Not to protect its citizens, we as a people can force accountability with our voice.
BREAKING: Prosecutors in central New York say they are reopening the investigation of alleged "gang rape" at a Cornell University frat, after a civil lawsuit filed earlier this month sparked outrage about the incident. Keep the pressure on!
“Princess Diaries” star Heather Matarazzo revealed she may not qualify for health insurance if she doesn’t find work soon.
Matarazzo was responding to a viral post from "I Saw the TV Glow" actor Jack Haven, who revealed: “I need to make $4,000 by the end of the month in order to qualify for SAG health insurance starting in January.”
“I am literally in the same boat right now," Matarazzo replied. "Lots of my fellow actors are. I remember a time when we didn’t have to earn a minimum to qualify for insurance."
