I remember when this cover of @Time came out in 1993. I remember thinking: the status quo was not going to quietly accept a transfer of power (or even just SHARED power!) to people of color of any gender or women of any color. We need leadership that embraces #diversity. #BLM

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey. His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive. A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it. 20 officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex. And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child. No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing. The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage. Like it never happened. If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel? Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.

🚨 A direct attack on clean water. Trump is gutting a rule that stopped coal companies from dumping toxic heavy metals (mercury, arsenic, lead) directly into rivers and streams. This isn't energy policy. This is a license to poison drinking water for the sake of profit.

"The UFC event captures something about this moment in our history. After all, it’s vulgar, it’s violent, it’s commercial, it’s grandiose, it’s tacky, and it dishonors a place once thought worthy of care and respect. In other words, it’s Donald Trump." open.substack.com/pub/thebul…

Disgraceful. Because of course we would celebrate 250 years of unparalleled human freedom with cage fights on the White House lawn as the wanna be Roman Emperor sits in the center watching men fight until they are bloodied and marred. Just disgraceful! #America260

I want to give you guys some facts about General Chappie James. He wasn’t a “DEI” hire—he was a complete badass that had to overcome MORE than any white pilot. Did 178 combat missions—that’s like 7 bomber tours on a B-17 in WWII. His medal count? Impeccable. 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses, 14 Air Medals, Two Legions of Merit, and a Defense Distinguished Service Medal. One of the original Tuskegee Airmen, the first four-star African American General. Hegseth couldn’t sniff the level of soldiering and warrior that was in Chappie’s DNA. God bless him. And Hegseth took down his picture from a hallway like a racist little child, which is what he is.

Yeah. Gotta make sure those minorities aren’t recognized for their contributions to the country.

Tyler Mane, who is a former pro wrestler and played Sabertooth in the X-Men/Deadpool and Wolverine movies, reveals that he has breast cancer. “Yep. I have breast cancer. And yep, it’s super rare. Only 1% of breast cancers are men. I’ll be honest, my first reaction was to keep it secret. I mean it’s kind of embarrassing. But then I found out that men are more likely to be diagnosed in advance stages BECAUSE it’s not talked about and not looked for. In fact, my doctors all dismissed it and it was only because my wife pushed me to get the lump removed that I got in early. So let’s start talking about it! 1 in 755 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime and if caught early, it’s VERY treatable. Time to answer the Wake Up Call! Like, Save, Share, Comment let’s spread the word!” (Tyler's social media)
