Karen Attiah, Ebony McMorris and Yamiche Alcindor- 3 Black journalists who exemplify Ida B. Wells' quote, "The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them." These women have been wronged either by their former place of work or by the President himself, enduring bullying and abuse.

You're still obsessed with #KPopDemonHunters, right?

I've been loving seeing how the film has resonated with so many, and Angry Asian Man captures the sentiment I've seen from many Asian millennials.

Do you agree?

The mass starvation & killing of Palestinians in Gaza at the hands of the Israeli gov’t is a chillul hashem, a desecration of God.

Jewish leaders who criticized Zohran Mamdani for three words he doesn’t use should raise their voices loudly here as well.

Gaza is starving. Where are the American Jewish leaders?
A fear of being labelled antisemitic still deters American Jews and Jewish institutions from taking a position that is morally correct.

Food? Burned. Contraceptives? Wasted. Vaccines? Squandered. This is intentional destruction of items paid for by American taxpayers in order to harm those in need of them around the world. We're being stolen from.

As Epstein is back up in the news, reminder:

-1 in 9 girls* &
-1 in 20 boys* under the age of 18 experience SA

-Female ppl* aged 16-19 are 4x more likely than the general population to be victims of SA or attempted SA

Some of those survivors read your skeets.

*& presumably nonbinary & gnc ppl

There were multiracial Vikings, and it's not "woke" to believe that fact. Actually, it's in line with history.

I don't have a degree in history, but I like researching stuff, so hopefully my video can appeal to the history-lovers out there as well as the How to Train Your Dragon lovers. #HATM

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC.

But no City agency has posted it on this platform.

Please help spread the word.

Is Xavier really that fleshed out in Ironheart? I don't think so.

Ironheart is supposed to be about a girl in STEM, but I feel like we don't see a lot of love and admiration for STEM itself. What do you think?
