I get second-hand embarrassment from really bad opinions. 😥

Bad Bunny did more than perform at the Super Bowl. The production, the choreography, the storytelling, the culture, the colors, the representation, and the message. Bad Bunny and his team made magic! 💫 🇵🇷 🇵🇷 #SUPERBOWL #BENITOBOWL

People keep coming up with their ideal Bad Bunny guests and despite there being AfroLatinx artists from Puerto Rico, the lists are consistently white dominated. Like thanks for adding Cardi B, but where are the ✨niggas✨?????

What we wearing to the Bad Bunny concert?

Hot take: YES. The other cake is a chocolate chocolate cake. Will not explain further.

As I sit here in 9 degree weather that feels like -15, I think about my sense of loyalty to the northeast. Why? WHY?

The thing with giving people clear instructions is that they still don’t read them and will request a workaround, knowing they don’t read.

Even in single digit weather, Jersey communities came together to demand ICE OUT. NO ICE. NO KKK. NO FASCIST USA.

Regarding the Discourse, lemme just say that if you can't draw, yes you can. Everyone can draw, and folks will almost certainly respond more positively to your stick figures than some generic "A.i." slop. Also, there are LOADS of resources for free images. Like this! 🧵 www.nga.gov/artworks/fre...

Do I understand anything going on in “Industry?” Not really. But imma eat it up.

Well okay… I did adult shit today.

Started including walking on an incline as part of my workout and while my butt may thank me for it later, my legs are miserable NOW.

That’s wild cause Black people were just trying to go to work without dealing with racism, sorry you had to endure that tho

Grandmothers really have a strange power where you feel their unconditional love one minute and then, somehow, they make you hate yourself????????

Threads is such an interesting place where people are so passionate about mundane things to argue or troll about.

“But what do you want Democrats to do….” I don’t know stuff like this?

Whenever people who aren’t part of my org connect and follow-up multiple times about application or inquiry updates I wanna hide under my bed because I’m literally just one person and everyone’s asking for really big things and they don’t realize it so they’re going to email about ten more times.

People keep asking for “large, peaceful actions” to push back against fascism, and what they mean is “convenient.”

Something about connecting with an HOA Social Committee about addressing local ICE Raids & being told they have to determine if it’s in their scope of work bc their responsibilities include “creating opportunities for neighbors to come together & connect — adults, families, etc. :)” is something.

I kicked off Black History Month in Corona at the home of Louis Armstrong, who lived in our city for more than 30 years. Walking through his house and hearing how much New York meant to him was a powerful reminder of what this city owes to Black artists and culture.

Oh, Miranda is about to annoy me and I’m going to love it.

Ooooh the number of tech people *specifically* who told me I was wrong and being paranoid and that's not how any of this works........ 😒😒

ICE has been arresting my neighbors, preying on folk at a local train station where many delivery people (mostly immigrants) take shortcuts during their route, and where folk travel through just to get home. Councilman Jake Ephros is hosting an emergency meeting: actionnetwork.org/events/feb-1...

When shelters close, people are pushed further into danger. U.S. aid cuts are putting life-saving, inclusive migrant shelters at risk of shutting their doors. With your help, MADRE is working to keep these shelters open. https://support.madre.org/campaign/762759/donate

I know we joke like “who needs therapy? Get a tattoo,” but… a tattoo will save me.

I started reading more intentionally, and for fun. Took a recommendation from a new friend I met late last year, and while I’m not finished with the book, I’m about to sing so many praises. My goodness.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Journalist Don Lemon is arrested after protest that disrupted a service at a Minnesota church.

These are teh questions that need answering

The hardest cancels have been R. Kelly and Diddy. Not because I’m a super fan, but because I underestimated their reach throughout the industry and just how many of my favorite songs they’re either featured in or writers/producers for. So sometimes I’m vibing until I hear their voices or whatever.

Clearly playing in our faces.

Sometimes I forget who tf I am & I need to get my memory sorted because that should never be a problem.

I'm just going to keep saying this until I die: In a white supremacist patriarchy, you have value only insofar as you serve the white supremacist patriarchy. Kyle Rittenhouse & Ashli Babbitt did. Renee Good & Alex Pretti didn't. On Jan 6, the insurrectionists did. The cops didn't. Rinse, repeat.

Idk how we’ve come back to this lesson but “abolish” means to end, or get rid of. Not to defund. Not to restructure. Not to reimagine how it looks. GET RID OF IT. DO NOT CHANGE THE DEMAND. DO NOT SOFTEN IT. Words mean things. Damn.

An uprising broke out at an immigrant jail in southern Texas on Saturday, with around 1,000 immigrants detained in the facility — many of them children — chanting “Libertad” and “Let us go,” according to an attorney who witnessed the event.

I don’t care who it is. Mental health issues do not make someone a bigot and it’s not an excuse for dangerous, harmful, or abusive behavior People have psychotic episodes every day without being a bigot, or engaging in sexually inappropriate and/or abusive behaviors

Kanye’s statement is surprisingly thoughtful, and I truly feel for him… but the harm he caused… my goodness. That’d take a lot of redeemable action.

Just in a mood to cuddle with my mean ass grandma and have her play in my hair.

Migrant shelters are overcrowded. Families are sleeping outside. Women, children, Indigenous, and LGBTQIA+ migrants face escalating violence. MADRE is supporting women-led shelters that offer safety, dignity, and hope. Will you join us? https://bit.ly/4jZdxpa

It’s been nice having more space and power to lead on ideas I have at work. I have so much more control, and I feel trusted. Wow. We love it here.

Seeing Don Lemon’s shift to being one of the most beloved journalists of the left has been quite a sight.

Aldis Hodge is disrespectfully fine.

Inspirational tbh

It’s really been time to disown that cop/ICE agent/military family member.

these goons are unfit for human society. you can't form a community, let alone a nation, with anybody who would do some shit like this

also writing with AI isn’t writing.

Ever since I heard the “80/20” rule in a Tyler Perry movie, that framing has been used for EVERYTHING from relationships to marketing strategies and it’s, strangely, very annoying.

Me, for the past 7 years: please give me all the stories you have so I can do my job sharing on social media Colleagues: this person who no longer works with us told us not to do that 4 years ago

Not putting up prices for gym memberships will definitely keep me from joining. Why yall gatekeeping!? We know it’s expensive 😩

It's a problem that actual elected officials post on social media as if they are powerless observers and commentators.
