Begging people to stop falling for moral panic “social media addiction” slop that is being used to further Meta’s billion dollar lobbying efforts and enact the Heritage Foundation’s tech policy slate.

I guess it’s time to use this platform again. Sigh. My unfiltered thoughts on Avatar. TDLR I LOVE this franchise but let’s maybe include more South Sudanese actors, filmmakers and consultants when it comes to clearly culturally extractive and wildly profitable films. #avatar3

I go to Simply Wholesome in LA somewhat regularly. Yesterday, it was on SMASH. Parking lot was full. The patio was also practically full. I asked the server about the crowd and she said the majority of folks were there as part of the economic boycott. Simply Wholesome is a Black-owned Carribean restaurant and health food store that is a LA staple. Seeing this yesterday was pretty inspiring. It shows that people care and are prepared to fight. If you’ve been asking, what could a 24 hour boycott accomplish? It can mainly show that it can be done. It’s getting people into the habit of resistance.

Good morning from Ukraine. I live in Kyiv and travel the country often and spend most of my time engaging Ukrainians and I am also learning Ukrainian langauge and pay attention to Ukrainian social media and news sites to practice my language skills. Here's what I can tell you: Most Ukrainians, even those who do not like him and want him gone, are standing in support of him. Let me show you an example. Thread

Massive anti-Trump/Musk protests just erupted in NYC. The streets are packed, the message is loud, and the backlash is real. MAGA keeps poking the bear—and the bear is waking up.

Incredible footage of a massive anti-Trump/Musk protest that broke out in New York City. MAGA is awakening a sleeping giant.

No one knows what caused last night's tragic crash outside DCA. Investigations are ongoing, and no one - not Donald Trump or anyone else - should be drawing conclusions until all the facts have been released. But here is what we do know. (1/7)

We’ve got six days to show Dictator Donald we’re not about to let him steal the funds for the programs WE pay for so he can give tax cuts to his billionaire friends. I went live on IG to answer your questions on Trump’s federal funding freeze FIASCO.

I am a 5th generation Southern Californian who grew up in an orange grove and in Hollywood. I fled my home state in 2020. Los Angeles is burning right now because of what We the People have allowed rich people to do. Here is what has happened: 1🧵

Rise and Capoeira! 🇧🇷 Enslaved Africans(Angola) brought capoeira to Brazil in the 16th century. The slaves disguised their fighting techniques as folk dancing, using rhythms, call-and-response singing, and instruments to distract onlookers.  Historically, sometimes fighters with blades strapped to their ankles or held between their toes—would swing their legs high in attack, perform aerial somersaults, and pass within a hairsbreadth of each other's knees, head, groin, or stomach. This is culture! 🇧🇷

We must not delude ourselves in this moment. Multiracial democracy in the United States is less than 60 years old. It has always been contested, often violently so. It has always been fragile. Since this nation's inception large swaths of white Americans -- including white women -- have claimed a belief in democracy while actually enforcing a white ethnocracy. In the face of shifting demographics where white Americans will lose their numeric majority, we see a growing embrace of autocracy to keep the "legitimate" rulers of this country in power. History teaches us that we are in a perilous moment.
