Oscar Nominee Barkhad Abdi, Jim Deddes Lead Teddy Cherim’s ‘Maalstroom’; First-Look Image Released (EXCLUSIVE) variety.com/2026/film/global…
Eid Mubarak, everyone. Sending love, prayers, and blessings to you and your families on this beautiful day.#عيد_الفطر_١٤٤٧ه
America; I Too wasn’t just a film — it was a warning. And right now, what we portrayed is showing up in real life: raids, detentions, families living in fear. Minnesota, I see you. Check on your neighbors. Support immigrant legal aid. Stay human!
Happy New Year 2026 🌍!
Praying for world peace, good health, and a kinder, better year for everyone. 🙏🏾
I’m heartbroken to see my community harassed by ICE and dehumanized by the president’s remarks, echoed online. We are workers, students, and families who strengthen our state. Yet, we remain rooted in resilience and kindness, believing our shared humanity is stronger than fear. #Minnesota
Just watched The Smashing Machine, written and directed by Benny Safdie — what a powerful, beautifully crafted film. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson gives one of his best performances yet. Raw, emotional, and masterfully done. Go see it — now playing in theaters! 🎬🔥
