A meme making the rounds on social media has turned out to be a vital piece of information for those vulnerable to being arrested under the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown. 

The new wave of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids that began over the weekend, targeting undocumented migrants in major cities around the United States, weren’t as large as initially feared, Still, the #KnowYourRights meme being passed around on social media proved to be helpful, if not essential, for those at risk, as additional raids and arrests could continue throughout the week.

Considering our current administration, the United States doesn’t have a lot to offer the Royal Family in terms of photo opps. 

At least, that appeared to be the case until the European premiere of Disney’s The Lion King, at which — I kid you not — Meghan Markle and Beyoncé Knowles-Carter hugged.

Rolling out an aptly Simba-yellow carpet, the Sahara-set remake debuted to British and European press, as well as the film’s cast and crew, on Sunday at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square Theater in London’s West End. In attendance were numerous special guests, including the royal couple who happened to be fresh off a visit to Wimbledon.  Read more…

Not everyone loves the “wrong answers only” meme, but Mark Ruffalo clearly does.

The Bruce Banner/Hulk actor came up with one of his own on Sunday, and it sourced from a behind-the-scenes photo seemingly taken on the Avengers: Endgame set. It  features Ruffalo, Tom Holland (Spider-Man), and Don Cheadle (War Machine) in a moment where they’re joining hands in a bizarre, almost ritualistic manner.

See for yourself.

What is happening here? What are these grown men (and one young adult) doing? Twitter has some ideas, all of them wrong. Read more…
