Love is vulnerability. Vulnerability is risk, and there's power in connection and emotion. We can be free.

Beloved actress and trailblazing model best remembered as Eva Rawley on 227 and Miami Vice, Toukie Smith has passed away at 74 ποΈ
Smith built a remarkable career that crossed fashion, television and film. Beginning as a model in the 1970s, she walked and posed for some of the biggest names in fashion before making the leap into acting and bringing that same unmistakable presence to the screen.
Some of her most memorable roles, films and career highlights:
β’ Eva Rawley β 227
β’ Angie β Miami Vice
β’ The Preacherβs Wife
β’ Joeβs Apartment
β’ I Like It Like That
β’ Talkinβ Dirty After Dark
β’ Goosed
β’ Chanel β Model
β’ Versace β Model
β’ Bloomingdaleβs Model of the Year β 1978
Smith also appeared in major magazines including Vogue, ELLE, Ebony and Cosmopolitan, becoming part of a generation of Black models who expanded what beauty and glamour looked like in American fashion.
Then 227 introduced her charisma to an entirely different audience.
Toukie Smith didnβt belong to just one world. She brought style to the runway, personality to television and a presence that was completely her own.
Rest in peace, Toukie Smith

Blue Wave smacked Republicans so hard DeSantis dropped the act and started talking like a guy who went to Yale and got a JD from Harvard again.
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

"Whatever women wear, wherever they go, whatever they drink, they retain the right to say no and demand justice in the criminal courts when sexual predators act without their consent"

So Alaina Kunes, one of the girls making monkey noises at the Black womanβs door, has a family history of racism. Her dad owns a car dealership, and a Black customer went there for an oil change and the N-word was written on their car by him or one of his employees. @OleMiss

Nothing to see here, just a bunch of kids with their horses getting a snack at a gas station convenience store.
This does happen, but the media doesnβt show this kind of fun and laughter among people. We are all just trying to survive and have a little fun.
We have more in common than the media will show you.
"Don't put that gas pump in them horses."

Young Black women in rural Mississippi are trying like hell to make sure no ballot gets thrown out unfairly in the Scott Colom race. They are DMing friends and chasing down people who need to verify their IDs. My story (gift link) on the phenomenon: wapo.st/4AbqTpg

The African footprint in Veracruz's musical traditions is substantial. This is Huapango- am Afro-Indigenous dance.
The Mexican government has published research describing the fandango as a Caribbean cultural phenomenon that emerged through African influence and cultural mixing.
Fandango traditions subsequently became part of several Mexican musical traditions, including huapango.
This is culture! π²π½

Let this sink in: ICE agents reportedly blocked the emergency entrance of a Los Angeles hospital for TWO HOURS, forcing ambulances carrying people who needed emergency care to go elsewhere.
This isnβt law enforcement. This is a reckless abuse of power that put innocent peopleβs lives at risk.
An ambulance entrance is not a political battleground. A hospital emergency room is not an immigration checkpoint.οΏΌ
And federal agents do not get to hold an entire communityβs access to emergency medical care hostage.
Imagine being in an ambulance, fighting for your life, only to be diverted because federal agents decided their operation mattered more than emergency access.
Where is the humanity? Where is the accountability? And where is the line that these agents are no longer allowed to cross?
You cannot claim to be protecting America while putting Americansβ lives in danger.οΏΌ
This isnβt making America great. Itβs making America cruel. And anyone defending this should be ashamed.οΏΌ

Rep.-elect LaKesha Womack (D-NC) on the rental car situation:
βWe have a president with 34 felonies, so even if I receive one, that just means I'm qualified to be president,β she told reporters. βI do have an attorney that's dealing with that situation. It was a political attack, because, you know, how does something from six years ago show up the week before early voting starts? Itβs a non issue.β
