There was something so reassuring seeing Paul McCartney play on SNL - many different people/different generations singing along to his performance. Not to diminish his work, but it was like comfort food, and it brought joy in a terrifying time. He's still America's (British) sweetheart.

Lula was one of the toughest roles for me, ever because I am so diametrically opposed to her core.
The racism and violence in this play was abhorrent to me, but so important to witness.
If you can catch this film, go see it. Or see the play live.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

All of this is about money. Taking over Greenland, shutting down certain parts of the government. Elon Musk. It's about them making more money.
Trump just proposed that the US take over Gaza and turn it into "the Riviera of the Middle East.”
In February, Kushner described Gaza's "waterfront property" as "very valuable."
Kushner, who raised billions from the Saudis, is partnering with Trump right now to build a new Trump Tower in Serbia
