Finally watching the Earth Wind and Fire doc (apologies to my neighbors as I sing along to every song with the windows open) by Questlove. Exactly what I needed. #nfotd www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szzn...

So if you participated in any observing or counter protest, now is a great time to reacquaint yourself with your rights. The ACLU is already on the case here, and her visit was clearly meant to intimidate rather than investigate. Don’t be afraid to plead the fifth and ask for a lawyer.

ICE observers in Minneapolis have begun receiving visits from FBI agents sent to intimidate them. A close friend-combat vet, mother, no criminal record-who was a volunteer observer during the ICE crisis, had a visit and was threatened for taking photos and videoed, claiming that filming was illegal.

It was great joining Njideka Akunyili Crosby—a gifted Nigerian-born, Los Angeles-based artist—to unveil our first portrait together. This piece reflects so many chapters of Michelle and my story, and we’re thrilled that it will be on display at the Obama Presidential Center starting this Juneteenth.

For Vogue, I talked to Ramell-Correen Frederick, aka Cheeks, who embroidered Knicks gear in the streets of Brooklyn after Game 5. He uses a 104-year-old hand-crank, chainstitch embroidery machine that he named Jessica.

"Gabriela Soto and her children have been stopped from visiting Delaney Hall because of what they were wearing more than 10 times. On one occasion, Delaney Hall rejected them because Gabriela’s four-year-old daughter was in leggings, which the guards said were too 'provocative'."

Becoming exponentially more religious the more it becomes clear that god will no longer let this man throw a party.

Someone's balance with the devil is due...

How the heck did this happen in NYC last night? Thank you @hellresidentny.blacksky.app for capturing this off the tv

In fact the entire cast is phenomenal. Excellent choices doing fantastic work all around. Except maybe electro guy who was so over the top campy he felt like a castaway from Legends of Tomorrow. Everything else felt grounded in reality but he was acting for a completely different show.

I don’t even follow basketball and I am not from and have never lived in NYC but this thread is genuinely lovely.

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

I don't believe this unassailable fact will ever stick. The media is too beholden to power and money. When we did Tesla Takedown, I'd give exhaustive interviews laying out Elon's murderous actions and the writer would ignore them, paint us as agitators and DOGE as Elon's 'cost cutting' initiative.

A Real President, Not A Poseur.

The Knicks winning is bigger than basketball. Last night I was at a friends house, surrounded by New Yorkers (plus that Chicago guy) in LA. We celebrated, went dancing after - but I miss bonding with strangers. This morning I’m watching all of the videos with my coffee. #WeDidItNewYork

I work very hard and I would like to try pizza

Finally started the Fela podcast. Its so good. I need to make everyone I know and love listen to episode 4 about his mother. Not just her but the "sea of women" that challenged the colonial state in Nigeria. Its incredible. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

Fascinating, deep piece about "poorfacing" and the erasure of class narratives in the film industry. A lot of stuff in here which I have witnessed personally over the years, but which rarely gets discussed. Lack of access to capital being portrayed as noble creates many strange incentives.

They gave smartphones to 10 women from a working-class Indian community to make a documentary about their unseen and unheralded lives. The results are .... pretty cool. n.pr/4fDwX2O

Yesterday wrapped up year 21 in the classroom. I will not be returning to my school. They have decided due to plummeting enrollment to end my position. Teaching high schoolers about cinema all day for 5 years was a dream. The notes I’ve been getting from students have moved me tremendously.

🚨 BREAKING ACTION: Congress just formally leveled six Articles of Impeachment against Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts. From rewriting the Constitution to shield the executive branch to massive conflicts of interest, the high court has gone rogue. Tell your reps to back impeachment NOW: 👇

yall this thread is everything good in this world 🐝

A federal judge just ordered the Trump administration to reinstall exhibits and signs relating to slavery ​and climate change that it ⁠had removed from ​parks and monuments nationwide

My C Span just went to SMPTE Color Bars with Tone which Ive not seen in decades. #ScaffoldWatch (Including a screenshot in case the kids don’t know)

“Kids' Nonprofit In Seattle Returns 20 Free World Cup Tickets Over Barring Of Somali Referee A youth-soccer nonprofit in Seattle has returned 20 free World Cup tickets to protest the U.S. decision to bar Somali referee Omar Artan from entering the country.“

Do these people know or care that the mic is picking up their voices?

I wish the C Span camera would spin around to give us the scene. I need coverage!

I just started the #CapeFear series. Terrific cinematography. It's not your Mother's "Cape Fear". It's definitely not your Grandmother's "Cape Fear". But it's still fun.

Some of the best tv directors that I worked with started off as DPs, Script Sup or Editors in TV. I'm glad the provision says to limit not completely prevent.

Just saw this show at The Getty. Its phenomenal. Very well curated. Many images I've not seen before. The last day is June 14th. Go if you can. Free. "Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985" www.getty.edu/exhibitions/...

The great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar reflecting on the Knicks and, separately, Donald Trump. A terrific piece of writing. "Pulling out of that [Meet the Press] interview [with Kristin Welker] was the only honest thing Donald Trump did all hour. Trump hates strong women, he hates proud people of color...

"We’re publishing this blog post to explain our decision to refer to Delaney Hall as a “concentration camp” and clarify the term’s meaning." This is incredibly important. jerseybee.org/2026/06/11/w...

NoLiTa Swagger #NYC. Warm weather turns all of the streets in New York into a catwalk. Shot on #Ilford FP4 125asa on my #Pentax17 Half Frame Camera #35mm. Shoot film. It’s good for your soul.

These doctors swore an OATH to protect patients, while MAHA and RFK Jr. are putting millions of lives at risk. We applaud AMA for taking a stand to put people over profits.

I cannot take any more of the incorrect info/assumptions about #Obsession math! So here's my public service to ya: a decent approximation of the waterfall based on my 2 decades of indie #producing. (Note: Focus took US rights & only some int'l, so I'm only including USBO to date.) You're welcome!

Where is the press? “Donald Trump is in the Epstein files thousands and thousands of times. In those files, there’s highly disturbing allegations of Donald Trump raping children, of Donald Trump threatening to kill children. So I encourage the press to go look at these allegations.” Rep. Ted Lieu

I stole this off of Substack: "Donald Trump shows up at game 3 and the Knicks lose. Wu-Tang performs at the half of game 4 and the Knicks complete the largest comeback victory in NBA Finals history. The lesson: Presidents are temporary. Wu-Tang is forever."
