This is absolutely insane. Monstrous.

It’s also infuriating that MAGA thinks our government is owed any kind of respect or support by anyone - Olympians, U.S. citizens, foreigners. The U.S. is currently right up there with the worst human rights abusers.

it’s as if the entire concert was delivered in secret code and the only way you can crack it is by learning a language that 42 million ppl in this country speak

Todd Blanche will forever be remembered as someone who protected the men that raped and tortured women and children.

Good Will Dunkin commercial amongst the weirdest, most terrible visual experiences of my life.

My landlord used to be friendly. Always greeting me. Always smiling.
Then one day he started getting too comfortable.
He said: “You’re a beautiful girl. Why are you living alone?”
I said: “Because I like peace.”
He laughed.
A few days later, he came to my door with that fake “checking on you” excuse.
He said: “I can take care of you, you know.”
I smiled and said: “No thank you.”
He looked shocked. Like he expected me to start kneeling.
After that day, his attitude changed.
The next month he called me and said: “Rent has increased.”
INCREASED??
I said: “Why?”
He said: “Inflation.”
Inflation?? In this building with leaking taps?
I knew immediately. It wasn’t inflation.
It was rejection tax.
So I told him: “No problem. I’ll move.”
Suddenly he started panicking.
“No no, we can talk about it.”
I said: “No need. I don’t negotiate with emotional landlords.”
Two weeks later I moved out.
And the peace I felt? Amazing.
Because a man who punishes you for rejecting him is a dangerous man.

NBC is editing out footage of JD Vance being booed at the Olympics.

CBS is state sponsored propaganda.

Bezos fired over 300 journalists from The Washington Post and left many stranded in foreign countries.

They’re crowd funding to get home.

Support independent journalism..

Reminder that all art is inherently political and if you thought Kendrick’s halftime show last year was just about a Drake beef, your arts literacy sucks.

If Olympic athletes speaking out against fascism bothers you, stop being a fucking fascist

Did you know that Bad Bunny has a nonprofit foundation called Good Bunny that empowers underserved children and youth in PR through music, arts, and sports?

Talented and kind? The real deal. 🐰

There is no court order that can bring back the people from the dead after they have been shot. We must dismantle ICE.

Jeff Bezos fired more than 300 people and didn’t even arrange for them to get safely home.

Staffers were abandoned in foreign countries and war zones and are having to crowd source to get home.

One of the richest men in the world left them behind.

While many in the Latin community are being terrorized, targeted, and made to feel unsafe, Bad Bunny steps onto the biggest stage and makes millions feel seen. This is more than a performance — it’s representation when it matters most.

@andrelynwriting I don't understand what the linked article has to do with plagiarism? The school system isn't banning books because of plagiarism, they are banning them because they don't like the ideas inside. (I do not agree with banning books, for the record)
