Bartees Strange Shares New Song “Hold the Line”: Listen
I remember watching George Floyd’s daughter talk about the death of her father and thinking wow—what a sad introduction to Black American life for this young person. It was painful to watch her grow up in that moment, like all Black kids eventually do. “Hold the Line” was written over the course of three days during that first pandemic summer. Through this song I was trying to make sense of what was happening in the U.S., my neighborhood and my community at that moment. During the marches people were trying to stop the bleeding, locked arm in arm, doing everything they could to hold the line.

Sen. Joe Manchin Helps Sink Women’s Health Protection Act In Senate
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Alex Wong / Getty Sen. Joe Manchin once more broke with his party after a Senate vote on Wednesday (May 11) struck down a bill constructed by the Democratic Party designed to introduce protection for legal abortion nationwide. Manchin’s vote boosted the GOP filibuster of the bill, bringing a new level to the national debate regarding abortion rights. In the wake of the leaked Supreme Court draft opinion suggesting that the landmark Roe v. Wade decision would be overturned, the Democrats in the House moved to advance the Women’s Health Protection Act through the Senate. It was expected to meet resistance from Republicans, and all 50 GOP senators voted to strike down the bill with Manchin being the lone Democrat. Related Stories Manchin, a Democrat represen...

The exact cause of Naomi Judd’s death has been revealed, as her daughter, Ashley Judd, told Good Morning America that her mother died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. “She used a weapon…a firearm,” Ashley told GMA on Thursday. “So that’s the piece of information we’re very uncomfortable sharing, but understand that we’re in a position, that if we don’t say it, someone else is going to.” Ashley said that she was the one who discovered her mother’s body, and added that “I have both grief and trauma from discovering her.” Ashley said she chose to disclose the cause of her mother’s death so that the family could control the flow of information before her autopsy was released.

Top Gun: Maverick Review: Tom Cruise Goes Full Throttle In a Sequel That Does the Original Justice
The Pitch: It may have taken 36 years, but even pandemic delays couldn’t keep Tom Cruise away from the danger zone. When viewers are reunited with Captain Pete Mitchell in Top Gun: Maverick, one of the military’s best-ever fighter pilots is still a Navy man, working on experimental aircraft after decades of avoiding promotions that would pull him out of the cockpit. But the brass, personified here by a very cranky Jon Hamm, has a new assignment for the ace: Train up a team of hotshot youths for an incredibly difficult (dare we say… impossible) mission into enemy territory. While a dozen officers are selected as candidates for the task, the most prominent are a very Maverick-esque pilot known as Hangman (Glen Powell) and Rooster (Miles Teller), the grown-up son of Maverick’s tragically dece...
