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.

Darline Graham, the sister of late Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, was swiftly fact-checked after claiming that she's "not being handed" her brother's seat even though she quite literally was named to temporarily fill it.

According to a preliminary finding from the medical examiner, shared by his office, Graham died after suffering an aortic dissection—a tear in the inner wall of the aorta—linked to hardening of the arteries.

John Hinckley Jr. Shares New Message For Jodie Foster 45 Years After Shooting Ronald Reagan To Impress Her

Some Hollywood stories fade with time. The disturbing history connecting Jodie Foster and John Hinckley Jr. is not one of them. For those who don’t know, on March 30, 1981, Hinckley waited outside the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C., where President Ronald Reagan had just addressed 5,000 members of the AFL-CIO.

As Reagan emerged from the hotel, Hinckley fired six shots from a revolver. One bullet ricocheted off Reagan’s limousine and struck him beneath his arm. White House Press Secretary James Brady, police officer Thomas Delahanty and Secret Service agent Timothy McCarthy were also wounded.

Journalist Reveals Just How Much Money Has Been Diverted From National Parks For Trump's Vanity Projects—And People Are Livid

In a series of articles for MacFarlane News and MeidasTouch, videos, and an appearance on CNN, Chief Washington Correspondent for MeidasTouch Scott MacFarlane blew the whistle on MAGA Republican President Donald Trump’s raiding of National Park Service (NPS) funds. Aided by his Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, Trump diverted NPS money to pay for all of his White House and Washington D.C. vanity projects.

Trump’s hand-selected, mostly unwanted and unnecessary White House grounds and National Mall projects—things like a botched reflecting pool resurfacing, golden decor, a helipad, a ballroom, gilded statues, and giant flagpoles—alone took $423 million from major national parks across the country.
