Married stars Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas became the latest to attend a local protest to show solidarity with the #blacklivesmatter movement.

When a fan commented "can we have peace now?" on Sophie Turner's instagram post, depicting the peaceful nature of the protest, Turner immediately came back with a perfect education on why #blacklivesmatter matters right now.


Sophie Turner has not kept her silence on #BlackLivesMatter.

"My heart is heavy," she wrote on an Instagram post from Monday, June 1st.

"I stand in solidarity with those speaking out against racism and fighting for justice and equality. Silence is not an option."

She and Jonas posted some highlights from the peaceful protest in Mammoth Lakes, California.


One user came onto her post and said "I mean they've been arrested and charge with murder so there justice soooooooo can we have peace now?"

Though 251 people liked that comment, Turner replied swiftly.

"This isn't just about those 4 cops, this is about Breonna Taylor, this Is about Trayvon Martin, this is about Eric Garner, this is about the systemic racism that black people have faced for hundreds and hundreds of years. This is about changing the system. Justice will be done when society reflects our beliefs that we are all equal. Until then there should be no peace."

Turner, famous for her role as Sansa Stark in HBO's Game Of Thrones has been attracting positive attention across the internet for going out to a protest while pregnant and for answering this fan back on a problematic response.





Turner also in no uncertain terms told a fan who commented "All lives matter" to "go away."

She also told a fan to "stfu" after scapegoating black cops to make a point about police.

The conversation surrounding white allyship is definitely a sensitive one at the moment, with the note that allyship can sometimes be performative.



Turner's commitment to vocal allyship and anti-racism is an important piece for the #blacklivesmatter movement, and as states across the nation begin to recognize the need for change within the police, hopefully allies will continue to speak out on behalf of #blacklivesmatter.

Dr. Oz Slammed After His 'Credit Card' Health Care Analogy Goes Completely Off The Rails

Snake oil salesman Dr. Mehmet Oz—now the administrator for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services—was criticized after he tried to discuss U.S. health insurance providers' pledge to speed up the prior authorization process by oddly comparing it to a "credit card," underscoring just how much he doesn't understand the job he currently holds.

Earlier this week, major U.S. health insurers—including Cigna, Aetna, Humana, and UnitedHealthcare—announced a set of reforms aimed at simplifying the often frustrating prior authorization process for patients and providers.

Jasmine Crockett Calls Out Trump's Hypocrisy By Pointing Out How Melania Got Her Visa

Texas Democratic Representative Jasmine Crockett pointed out President Donald Trump's hypocrisy on immigration considering how First Lady Melania Trump's pathway to citizenship was possible because she received an "Einstein visa," which is usually reserved for an individual with "some sort of significant achievement."

Speaking during a House Judiciary Committee hearing titled “Restoring Integrity and Security to the Visa Process,” Crockett noted that “the idea that Trump and my Republican colleagues want to restore integrity and security in the visa process is actually a joke," and harshly criticized the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and visa restrictions.

Fox News' chief political analyst Brit Hume came to the defense of Fox national security reporter Jennifer Griffin after their former colleague, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, criticized Griffin as the reporter "who misrepresents the most intentionally what the president says” in a Pentagon news conference.

Hegseth took particular aim at early intelligence assessments suggesting that President Donald Trump's bombing of Iran may not have significantly crippled Iran’s nuclear capabilities.
