one of the primary things that police officers do is shout loudly at you. it's said that they sometimes give conflicting orders simultaneously & purposefully; if you are in a moving car, they will step in front of the car to justify shooting into it. I have little patience for people who post smugly on Twitter "insist upon your constitutional rights" who have no idea how aggressive officers can be if they target you. ICE is just the most visible manifestation of this aggression. expecting anyone but particularly women, Black citizens & persons of color to stand up to such an onslaught is absurd.
Norway fans are doing a “Viking Row” up the escalator at Boston’s South Station before heading to the World Cup
Adding this to the list of things I’ve never seen before and probably never will again
A South Korean woman came across three men going at it in Rey Mysterio costumes in Mexico and immediately jumped on them. The most fun country at the World Cup is Mexico and it's not even a debate 😭
Former Neo Nazi speaking on white extremists infiltrating the judicial system and military expressly to violate Black Americans. Their counterparts are their wives and mothers. Notice she tried to soften it and trotted out the bad apple mantra. Typical.
A 1-year-old child is dead after police officers in Mississippi opened fire on a vehicle in a crowded Walmart parking lot in Senatobia. His mother, who has not been charged with any crime, says she was trying to communicate to officers that there was a baby in the car. They fired anyway, leading to the death of an innocent 1-year-old. We intend to seek justice for baby Kohen and the life that was stolen from him.
A video of a young woman from mainland China auditioning for the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant has gone viral among Cantonese speakers.

#BREAKING: Deposing Attorney: Do you regret that people lost income to support their lives?
DOGE Bro: “No. I think it was more important to reduce the federal deficit from $2 trillion to close to zero.”
Deposing Attorney: Did you reduce the federal deficit?
DOGE Bro: “No, we didn’t.”
Deposing Attorney: So you weren’t able to reduce the federal deficit and you still don’t regret that people lost some of their livelihood based on your actions?
DOGE Bro: “No.” 🤦♀️
BREAKING: The first official portrait of Barack and Michelle Obama together has been unveiled and it's absolutely stunning.
Look closely at the tiny components of this piece...
"Tradition is not untouchable. We can own it, we can shape it, we can move it the way we need," Nigerian-born artist Njideka Akunyili Crosby told Harper's Bazaar.
The artwork is one of 28 pieces that have been commissioned for the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, which opens later this week on Juneteenth.
Harper's explained that Akunyili Crosby’s masterpieces are "technically complex" and while they are designed to "resemble conventional figurative paintings at a distance" they are actually "composed of dense layers of embedded images, in something like a visual archive."
If you look, you should be able to spot a volume of the Harvard Law Review that was published while Barack Obama was the journal's first Black President. You'll also spot Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book," which was the first album that the former First Lady ever owned.
“Yes, he was the President. But she is incredible," said Akunyili Crosby.
“Nostalgia for the past is always a dicey thing. But that does not mean it wasn’t important for me to kind of touch upon the feelings we all had—and the hope," the artist added.
Now, more than ever, we miss the days when we had a dignified, compassionate, intelligent First Couple.
What can you spot in the portrait?

This Michelle Obama moment should teach every straight Black man, ESPECIALLY THOSE IN STANDUP COMEDY, that whenever you let transphobia slide the first cis women who get attacked are Black women. Transphobia leads directly to misogynoir in America & being transphobic = antiBlack
Sheryl Crow speaks out after Trump’s UFC 250 event: “To stay quiet means to turn a blind eye. And so I am saying this. What happened last night on the lawn of the White House was disgraceful and void of decency. Powerful, rich people filled the lawn to watch a violent sport that ended with a vile and racist comment. All while the average American cannot afford healthcare, gas, and cost of living. Do not be fooled. This administration is corrupt and does not give a damn about the American people. It only cares about making money hand over fist at the expense and in spite of our democracy. If we continue to support this kind of distraction from reality, we are no better than them. Let's be better, America.”
🔥 @CMPunk: “No, I wouldn’t go to the White House — If David Duke invites me over for tacos I’m not going. A racist is a racist. I call it like I see it.” https://t.co/bKUvdAVD86
Name a professional athlete who after accomplishing something said on live television IN FRONT OF THE WHITE HOUSE: MELANIA TRUMP IS A WHORE! AM I RIGHT??
When you find a 1-to-1 example, let me know.
The attacks on Michelle Obama’s femininity aren’t jokes.
They’re a pattern of anti-Black misogyny that this country refuses to hold accountable.
She is the standard.
She has always been the standard.
