ICE shoved a senior citizen to the ground who was filming them in New Jersey this weekend. Abolish it is the bare minimum.

2025 Recap: America is racist.

Matt Weber is a talented NYC street photographer who recently had a stroke. He's working hard on his recovery but is facing financial challenges since he can't work or access his photos. If you can, consider donating to his GoFundMe gofund.me/2f636d716

The grotesque.

I said this before and I'm going to say it again, I love video games with beautiful artwork. And if you know me, I love fishing too. This week I brought Cast n Chill for Nintendo Switch 2. This is a simple fishing game, the artwork is amazing and it's relaxing. @wombatbrawler.com

I like this!! "The bandit Santas later released a statement saying the food would be distributed to the needy, and saying the Robin Hood-style stunt was intended to highlight the spiralling cost of living crisis that has pushed basic necessities increasingly out of reach for ordinary Canadians."

-Sigh-

Favorite track is Shine Together. My goodness Nas is rhyming and the beat! 🔥🔥

May the ghostly cries and lamentations of every enslaved person who worked there haunt this boutique hotel's owners, managers, and guests unto the last days of their lives.

Extraordinary courage from Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim, 43-year-old father of two, who bravely risked his life to save his neighbors celebrating Hanukkah. Praying for his full & speedy recovery. And so deeply inspired by his example.

Coreen Simpson’s tender photography calls on generations of Black artistic and cultural innovation, capturing people so intimately that they could be your neighbors, childhood pastor, or play cousins.

i made a video about the president's gutter racism against somali-americans and how a scandal became a smear became a call for de facto ethnic cleansing

This is kind of language that motivates white nationalists to commit acts of violence. It's disgusting.

Terrible, just plain terrible.

I pray for the moment when the mainstream media summons the courage to call racist policies racist. And to explain to their readers how these policies are shaped by the white nationalist "Great Replacement" conspiracy theory. It's their fucking job (one would think). And they're not doing it.

McGreevey got smoked.

James Solomon was elected mayor of Jersey City, thwarting former New Jersey Gov. Jim McGreevey’s bid for a political comeback.

In non-political news I've been going through some hard times. See, I've been trying to beat this boss in Hollow Knight: Silksong on Switch 2 named the Last Judge. The Judge has been kicking my-you-know-what for a few days. I talked to my 9yr old daughter about it and she said "Don’t give up daddy😂

Patiently waiting for JC elections results.

Speaking of street safety. We should have crossing guards working outside polling stations on election day. The amount of foot traffic and car traffic on election day is high.

It's all about democracy and receiving a sticker.

Dear Jersey City registered voters, Engage with democracy, go vote!

World AIDS Day. We remember.

In 1958, Black art was not being shown in Detroit’s major institutions. Painter Harold Neal and his contemporaries started a collective of Black artists who created their own opportunities, marking the unofficial beginning of the city’s own Black arts movement.

I love it when photo history joins with social and political history to tell a new story about epic events. Great read.

The case of reparations surrounds me. I see it when I take walk in my neighborhood. I hear it when I talk on the phone with a family member. It's in the air too.

New Yorkers BLOCK ICE from leaving their parking garage ahead of a flopped mass raid attempt on Canal Street

Incredible to see an all-Black band from Tulsa parade through the streets less than five years after the Tulsa massacre of African Americans by white mobs.

We are living in times where questions like "How are you doing? "How is your family doing?" are real important questions. I said this during the pandemic, and I'm saying it again.

THIS! "I needed—still need—to remember that a life of freedom and a commitment to beauty, a life like Abigail McGrath’s, is still possible." Kaitlyn Greenidge

"Where are the Black photographers?" Deborah Willis on how she turned that question into an artistic mission. n.pr/4pqMJQ5

"I wonder why we take from our women Why we rape our women, do we hate our women? I think it's time to kill for our women Time to heal our women, be real to our women"

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

Not to brag, but we had the coolest table at career day.

We had a good time!

Today, my friends/photographers and I are going to career day at the high school I graduated from, to talk about photography as a career. I'm excited to talk with the young folks about art, and I might show them my yearbook picture (I was the class clown LOL).

Yesterday we honored victims of traffic violence in Jersey City, NJ as part of the Word Day of Remembrance. Traffic violence in NJ has claimed more than 500 lives this year. These deaths are preventable. @familiesforsafestreets.org #WDOR2025 #SAFESTREETS
