Chicago Rapper, Vic Mensa defends Megan Thee Stallion from misogynistic men still blaming her for Tory Lanez's downfall:
"I feel like Megan Thee Stallion is a microcosm for misogynoir at large. Someone recently told me she can't keep trying to ruin people's lives. By getting shot? cheated on? How you ruin somebody's life by them shooting you? How could you do this to me? You ran your body directly into my bullets.
Male artists are celebrated for shooting people. On the other hand, female artists are denigrated for getting shot. Let a rapper kill somebody, they sails through the goddamn roof."

The point I’m making is that most of the people in these comments aren’t even WNBA fans. They’re just using this moment as an excuse to spread hate and racism instead of having an actual conversation about the sport. Rather than staying on topic…they’ve turned it into an opportunity to be hateful.
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
Michelle Obama to Barack Obama: You were doing the people's work. Rescuing our economy. Expanding healthcare. Ending a war. Ordering the Bin Laden raid. Saving the auto industry. Winning a peace prize. Keeping us safe from Ebola. Regulating the banks. Standing up for marriage equality. Listening to science. And comforting an entire nation. And you did it all with such grace, and class, and cool.
A woman whose impact extends far beyond any title she has ever held 🌹
From Chicago's South Side to Princeton and Harvard Law School, from attorney and hospital executive to First Lady, bestselling author, producer, and advocate, Michelle Obama has spent decades showing what leadership, excellence, and service can look like.
Her legacy isn't just measured by accomplishments. It's reflected in the millions of people especially Black women and girls who saw new possibilities because she existed.
Today and every day, we give Michelle Obama her flowers.
Sue everyone. I don't care. Sue the airline, the airport, the agents, cause TSA agents subjecting a severely disabled person to this is physical torture, and now his condition has worsened because of their lack of compassion and commonsense.
This was completely unnecessary.
