On a night like tonight, I think we can all agree on three things: the U.S. is a far too violent country, with warlike levels of gun violence; people shouldn't be murdered due to what they believe or say, no matter how awful, and Kash Patel is an embarrassing joke as the director of the FBI.

One of the main features of the show was the "pull up and rewind," where Jason (who directed and edited the show) would put in a record scratch and rerun the track, DJ style. One of the most popular videos we would play on the show was "Dolly My Baby" by legendary dancehall artist Super Cat.

...and a 19-year-old, pre dreads, Buju Banton. Through the legendary Angelo Ellerbee, we met Damien Marley when he was a kid literally eating breakfast cereal, the brothers from FUBU, and the iconic June Ambrose. We even got a Vibe writeup. It was one of the most fun times ever in my life.

In that sense this scene from the record long, almost Fidel Castrolike joint address last night is symbolic: the Southern maga speaker of the House in the almost all white male Republican Party tossing out a Black Texas Democrat surrounded by his diverse caucus, for standing up for Medicaid.

Wokest Superbowl ever. Gaga, NOLA culture, Trombone Shorty, Terrance Blanchard, … two Black quarterbacks and Kendrick Lamar, plus my line sister @ledisi.bsky.social singing the Black National Anthem. This is actually amazing and I love it ❤️

This exchange between @rokhanna.bsky.social & @jdvanceoffical.bsky.social raises a number of questions including: why does someone the vice president of the United States seems to label a “racist troll on the Internet” and a “kid” have access to the sensitive personal data of millions of Americans?

Bingeing American Primeval on Netflix hits different having just returned from Park City Utah, a place of beauty and historic horror. While we were there we met a Navajo man named Tonka who told us how his people were being harassed by ICE. America was born of so many crimes, it’s like we’re stuck.

Here’s the order undoing the order… it’s rapid fire #chaos and #shockandawe at work but also a sign that the Trump administration and its #project2025 leaders are rushing to action without much thinking or a clear understanding of how government works.

There’s a lot of confusion over Biden’s #era announcement and what it actually means—including whether action from the National Archivist is needed. One interesting take I just got is that Biden has actually usurped the archivist and given the required notice to the states himself. So it’s done.

First of all, why would Canada want to join our rotten healthcare system, acquire our mass shooting epidemic and give up their sane parliamentary system for our broken government? Also, indigenous Canadians and Greenland Inuits have enough problems with their colonizers to ever accede to Trump.
