first day since my concussion 2 weeks ago that i’m feeling like a somewhat normal person. idk how football players do it

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

loved the Benito Bowl! storytelling is universal! language doesn’t matter. everyone understands good visuals and storytelling.

this game has no excitement. BECAUSE IT SHOULDVE BEEN BEARS V PATRIOTS

so made i was singing that Backstreet Boys song only for COINBASE to show up on the screen

yesss Green Day! Boulevard of Broken Dreams is in my top jams

really liked what Coco Jones did with Lift Every Voice and Sing

i’m sitting here watching a Vogue interview with Bad Bunny on Youtube and in the middle of it, a self-report Kristi N*em ad comes on 😑

pretty sure Ikea sent me the wrong item but since it’s all lego blocks anyway, i think i made it work for me

Public and replayable declarations of joining Blacksky. Priority moderation queues for in-community reports. A democratically decided community guideline document. Legal support for “Fearless Fund” type lawsuits. Revenue from members, not advertisers. Proactive and defensive feed algorithms.

i think this was a good move by the mayor. it exposes the SAO (a so-called Democrat) for who she really is; this SAO CLEARLY is not bout that life. he’s showing y’all who to direct your energy towards in this fight.

i’ll fight anybody trying to come for Rudy right now. he’s brilliant and building something crucial for community. talk nice to him.

BLACK HISTORY — From the 1840s to the 1860s, the John and Mary Jane Richardson Jones used their influence to fight against the Illinois Black Codes that prohibited Black people from voting, required them to carry a “certificate of freedom,” and more. thetriibe.com/2021/06/the-...

every winter, all i want to do is buy things for my apt

can’t encourage people enough to support (with $$) hyperlocal and independent media as much as possible. @lataco.bsky.social hasn’t stopped covering ICE in LA. MSM IS COMPROMISED. find the indie outlets in your city and pour into them. uplift them. give them money so they can continue/expand.

happy to be included in @hkappklote.bsky.social’s 312 newsletter, giving a little insight into why @thetriibe.com doesn’t post on that one site anymore.

This is incredible reporting and incredible story ABOUT reporting--Unravelled journos clearly lay out the steps they took and why and that their results were.

today i discovered you can mute/unfollow people on LinkedIn s/o to my therapist

i really love Shrinking

If you read a single piece of news today, it should be this:

btw, Portland tonight.

now here i go playing D’Angelo & the Vanguard for the rest of the night

Cher said the Grammy goes to Luther Vandross 😩😩😩 cmon y’all lmaooo

this tribute has me in full tears man

very much not over D’Angelo leaving us

Pharrell didn’t thank… Chad, too? 😔

Bad Bunny at the Grammys: "Before I say thanks to God, I want to say ICE out. We're not savage, we're not animals, we're not aliens, we are humans, and we are Americans."

Billie Eilish during her #GRAMMYs speech for Song of the Year: “As grateful as I feel, I don’t need to say anything except that, no one is illegal on stolen land. It’s really hard to know what to say and what to do right now, I feel hopeful in this room and we need to keep protesting… fuck ICE.”

today is FT both nephews individually as a family and embarrass them day

really can’t believe they took Catherine O’Hara. i can’t get over this

NEW — This morning, Mayor Brandon Johnson signed “ICE On Notice,” an executive order that instructs Chicago police to investigate alleged illegal activity by federal immigration agents and send evidence of possible felonies to the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office. thetriibe.com/2026/01/mayo...

so they can raid a church… but journalists can’t film a protest in a church? lataco.com/border-patro...

This post is blowing up, so for all the big name journos sharing it, some context: This was a rally in Chicago explicitly calling for ICE to be abolished, and for a mass general strike to counter the Trump admin's continous attacks on our communities and civil liberties.

The anti-ICE/CBP rally in Chicago's Daley Plaza has grown significantly in just the last half hour. The crowd is spilling out into street; I'd say there's over a thousand people here at this point.

this is certainly one way to describe "doing journalism"

❤️

The journalism community needs to come together and stand with these journalists! Release them now!

Recall that Melissa Hortman and her husband were murdered not long ago by a fake cop who showed up at their door looking like this guy

REMEMBER — NABJ 2024: “You don’t interview a candidate that attempted to overthrow the government in the same way that you interview a candidate who did not attempt to overthrow the government,” Columbia Journalism School dean and author Jelani Cobb said. thetriibe.com/2024/08/dona...

They refer to Minnesota-St. Paul as a "theater" which is a military term for a geographical area of war -- the European Theater of Operations and the Pacific Theater in WW2. That's the Trump regime mindset of how it sees the nation, as theaters of war against people. Ethnic cleansing theaters.

damned if u do damned if u don’t

hot apple cider with cinnamon sticks, lemon, ginger & tumeric tea… and an ice pack for my mildly concussed head

NEW FROM OUR PUBLISHER: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker’s "Abolish Trump's ICE" language is a “bad apples” argument dressed in a trenchcoat. Read more of this analysis in our RESHAPE newsletter ⬇️ thetriibe.com/reshape/lang...
