Legacy Lounge owned by a Black southern family in Azabu Juban. They’ve owned Soul Food House (6th floor) for 21 years & LL (9th) for 6. They let me in. Into their hearts. We talked about our roots. Them, Mississippi. Me, Arkansas. Our histories. We laughed hard. Cried a little too. They fed me.

It took me 2-years since posting this to get here. But I’m here now. And before I even got in I met a Black man named Jedediah. Familiar southern accent. He joined me to go to the 9th floor. We got off the elevator and it was just… the most Black people I’ve seen here just Blacking it up Blackly!

I've never seen Jennifer's Body and TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT BABY!!! Legitimately excited for this one.

We must understand that the Voting Rights Act was not merely about ensuring Black Americans rights, it was about democratizing America. This ruling is not just a decimation of Black rights and Black Americans’ ability to have representation, it is a fatal blow to multiracial democracy.

One earnest and sincere question I have for folks who position the restoration of "the social contract" as the way out of this: How can you restore a social contract among people who no longer experience a shared reality? This is not snark. I'm asking.

When the president is a heinous abuser, when many of the most popular celebrities are heinous abusers, when the richest people in the world are heinous abusers, when the people developing new technology are heinous abusers, well that’s how you get a culture that incentivizes abuse

I guess Waymo shouldn't exist then.

"Waymo has told advocates that expecting it to respect bike lanes is 'too high a bar' because customers expect to be dropped off in them." To be crystal clear, it's illegal for a car to be in a bike lane. It doesn't matter what Waymo's customers expect; the company shouldn't be doing it.

"this character can't be trans because the author wasn't explicitly trying to create a trans woman" neither were my parents, how'd that work out for them?

All adults and some children on ICE flights—some 50 flights a day now—are shackled at the wrists and ankles attached to a chain around their waists. I have spoken to migrants and their attorneys who report being shackled for 50, 75, and 82 hours while being deported. Flight data backs this up.

Zee Roth@zeeroth.bsky.social · 3mo ago

"The men and women told AFP on Wednesday that they arrived in Kinshasa after a 27-hour flight which they spent with their hands and feet shackled." The human rights abuses of the Trump era must be prosecuted when Dems are in power.

Trans people who don’t support sex workers are fucking cowards and I have no time for their shit.

Interesting that even now, as more people see the problems with censorship, mass surveillance, a police state, and dismantling protections based on race, gender, and sexual orientation, people STILL don't want sex workers at their table. Everything they do to us, they will eventually do to you

what's truly crazy is that we've been fighting these fights for decades, and the footwork that's been laid for the normies to fight right now was laid BY US... yet we still get pushed aside

I really wonder how this is gonna work out. never before have I seen members of a presidential administration lying about current financial conditions like this. especially given they were put in place to lower prices. crazy shit

HASSAN: I agree all should have access to healthy foods, but Trump has made it harder to afford groceries. Do high prices make it easier or harder for families to eat healthy? RFK Jr: I would say that beef has dropped by 1% last quarter HASSAN: No. Beef prices are up 20% since Trump took office

Featured story from @gaigedavila.bsky.social: Meenu Batra, 53, is Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter. She once helped immigrants in the courts. Now she's languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years.

please don't rehab this man. he is an antisemitic white nationalist. He's upset about the war because we're doing it in collaboration with Israel and he thinks it's Jewish people destroying the world. That's it. That's why he's contrite.

April 2: guards cut all phone access in the housing units without warning. When detainees protested, CRS officers allegedly punched a man, threw another to the ground, kicked him in the head, and pinned him by the neck. A third detainee's wrist was broken. The entire cage was pepper-sprayed.
