It's now fall so of course, we've got to start fantasizing about our Halloween husband, Gomez Addams!

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?

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.

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.

Inside the Long Friendship Between Trump and Epstein

β€œWhat seemed to draw them together, according to those who knew them at the time, was a common interest in hitting on β€” and competing for β€” attractive young women at parties, nightclubs and other private events.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/19/u...

BREAKING on MSNBC:

Donald Trump has just filed a lawsuit against Dow Jones, News Corp, Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal reporters. The claims: libel, assault, slander.

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.

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.

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?

I've long wanted someone to write about Ossie Davis and Ruby Dee's creative and romantic support for one another as akin to Cassavetes and Rowland.
