Snow White, the new live-action film starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is being panned online by those assumed to be in the MAGA nation, accusing the motion picture of “wokeness.” On X, the reactions to Snow White have been passionate, and other film fans are joining the pile-on to blast some of the acting and more.
Snow White was released last Friday (March 21) and is one of the early big-budget films of the spring season. Zegler stars as the title character, while Gadot plays a contrasting role as the Evil Queen. At issue for the MAGA meatheads is Zegler’s role and the fact that the American actress is Polish and Colombian. Some of the more extreme racist trolls have attacked Zegler’s racial identity, and other film fans are critical of Gadot’s acting and her political positions.
Beyond the culture war being waged over the movie, the early reports are leaning towards the fact that Snow White’s box office opening numbers are a bit underwhelming. With a budget reported to be between $240-270 million, the film had a worldwide weekend opening of about $86 million, according to The Numbers website.
Professional critics largely called the film a refreshing update on the classic tale, and it manages to put forth some progressive themes here and there. Also present in the film is the goal of female empowerment and other stylistic and source material changes. It is there where MAGA and online trolls are having the most issues.

Greenland and the United States appear to have strained relations after the general perception that President Donald Trump eyes a takeover of the world’s largest island. With reports that President Trump’s national security adviser Mike Waltz will be visiting Greenland this week along with another visit from Vice President JD Vance‘s wife, Usha Vance, some online are mentioning Vance’s recent comments about the North American Denmark territory.
As reported by The Independent, Greenland’s prime minister Mute B. Egede was quoted by a local news outlet regarding Walz’s upcoming visit with U.S. energy secretary Chris Wright also in tow.
“We are now at a level where it can in no way be characterized as a harmless visit from a politician’s wife,” Egede said to Greenland’s Sermitsiaq newspaper per The Independent. “What is the national security adviser doing in Greenland? The only purpose is to demonstrate power over us.”
Egede continued, “He is Trump’s confidential and closest advisor, and his presence in Greenland alone will certainly make the Americans believe in Trump’s mission, and the pressure will increase after the visit.”
.
That sentiment is an increasingly notable one considering the vice president’s comments about annexing Greenland for American needs. In a February Fox News interview, Vance said, “Here’s the thing which I think a lot of folks don’t appreciate about Greenland. It’s really important to our national security.”
For years, the United States and Denmark have held an agreement to allow the U.S. military to have a presence on the island. However, Trump wants to absorb both the island and Canada as part of the States.
On Monday (March 24), Trump continued his stances, telling reporters after a Cabinet meeting, “I think Greenland is going to be something that maybe is in our future.”
On X, the reactions to Usha Vance, Mike Waltz, and Secretary Chris Wright’s Greenland visits are in and we’ve got them listed below.

Online, some social media accounts have posted video footage of the crime scene with a wounded person being attended to by first responders and medical personnel. The shooting took place at the intersection of Second Street and Lt. George W. Lee, which is currently closed off to traffic.
Sauce Walka hails from Houston and has worked alongside Griselda Records with songs alongside Westside Gunn and the label’s in-house producer, Daringer. Walka, 34, is also a prolific recording artist with nearly two dozen projects across DSPs and other means.

Tesla is continuing to face record numbers of protests and, at times, vandalistic acts at dealerships around the country in response to Elon Musk’s government-gutting DOGE efforts as he heads the agency. The electric automotive giant saw itself trending on X, also owned by Musk, with observers taking note of a recent recall of Tesla Cybertrucks and reports of $1.4 billion going missing.
As seen on CNBC, Tesla is moving to recall over 46,000 Cybertrucks because of a faulty exterior trim panel that has the potential to detach while driving, prompting valid safety concerns. The outlet adds that the recall is for a part on the truck known as a cant rail and all trucks manufactured between November 2023 and February 2025, as the company confirmed in a filing to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration this past Tuesday (March 18). The company says that if owners are in possession made in that time frame can take the vehicle to a service department to have the cant rail replaced free of charge.
This recall comes as a new report from the Financial Times notes that $1.4 billion in funds have seemingly disappeared, and the timing couldn’t be worse for Tesla as stock prices continue to sink while Musk spends much of his time heading DOGE and ordering unpopular cuts and firing to essential government services in a bid to halt fraud and waste. Further, global protests against the brand have marred its image as a leader in the EV space with other companies making gains as the market landscape shifts in other directions.
On X, formerly Twitter, there are reactions to Tesla’s stock numbers, the missing funds, and the decrying of vandalism and protests. We’ve got those listed below.

Bud Light was once considered the beer of tough guys who love all things ‘Murrica, that is until the company worked with a trans influencer with MAGA and Kid Rock losing their marbles. Bud Light was trending on X once again after the House Judiciary Committee’s account on the social media platform called out Democrats for attempting to tank American businesses but failed to point the finger at the party’s previous callouts.
In a recent X post, the House Judiciary Committee’s X account shared a video of Gov. Tim Walz speaking about how the tumbling stock prices of Tesla brought him a little bit of joy considering how Elon Musk’s DOGE branch is gutting government spending without any foresight or methodology other than rampant and wanton destruction.
In the caption of the video, the @JudiciaryGOP account wrote, “Democrats are CHEERING for American companies to fail. Disgusting behavior.”
Elon Musk is a South African national with established businesses in America, in case anyone needs to keep count here.
Amazingly, X’s community notes made sure to highlight that just under two years ago, the @JudiciaryGOP account wrote, “Bud Light. Disney. Target. Go WOKE. Go BROKE,” leaning heavily into the MAGA-fueled trope that any support for the LGBTQ community, or anything the includes Black people, and even centers women is some sort of “woke” agenda, which doesn’t even make sense.
Of course, folks who know that many GOP leaders are spineless cowards who throw rocks and then hide their hands because when the shoe is on the other foot, these GOP-friendly accounts, official or not, take great measures to dress down any type of pushback or opposition to their extreme ideologies and can’t take the heat when it comes back.
Tesla’s stock has indeed been in a rapid tumble since Musk and his DOGE operation have gutted the entire fabric of the American government. Worse, GOP members of Congress have applauded the haphazard cuts and President Donald Trump has fecklessly conceded to allowing Musk to do whatever he wants, which includes dressing like a sun-starved edge lord in the Oval Office.
On X, users are calling @JudiciaryGOP’s hypocrisy and mentioning how Bud Light and other American companies have been targets of the MAGA nuts in times past. Check out the reactions below.

That being said, Supreme is gearing up to release a brand new collaboration with Nike which will feature their take on the classic Air Max 1 silhouette which they’ve remixed for the first time in their long history of partnering with the Swoosh brand. Per Supreme, the new collabo is set to release this Thursday (March 20) and will feature four distinct colorways–white, black, yellow and purple—that are sure to catch eyes and snap necks out in the wild.
With the way that sneakerheads and hype beasts have been literally fighting out on the streets trying to get their hands on the latest sneaker drop we wouldn’t be surprised if these sellout instantly when they drop later this week. These Supreme x Air Max 1 feature all leather uppers, a Swoosh with debossed snakeskin detailing and Supreme branding on the tongue and heel.
That being said, the Air Max 1 hasn’t exactly been the most popular silhouette over the past few years amongst sneaker enthusiasts, but can that change simply by adding that Supreme logo to the tongue with a bright and vibrant colorway? Guess we’ll find out come March 20th.
Check out the Supreme x Air Max 1 kicks and let us know if you’ll be putting down $170 for a pair in the comments section below.

Tracy Morgan is one of the dozens of celebrities who attend New York Knicks games and has become quite the fixture at Madison Square Garden. However, fans are more concerned with Tracy Morgan’s health than his celebrity status after the comedian and actor had what appeared to be a medical episode while at a recent game.
Tracy Morgan, 56, sat courtside on Monday (March 17) to watch the New York Knicks take on the Miami Heat. While the Knicks game didn’t air on national markets, the news of Morgan falling ill moved swiftly via the X social media platform and the reactions came in fast. Much of what was said was speculative as details surrounding the incident are still developing.
In a report from PEOPLE, the outlet shared an X post from @RealJoshBrownie that showed a video of Morgan being helped by emergency medical staff from the court floor after vomiting. Morgan was also reportedly bleeding from the nose as he was helped to his feet and was ultimately taken out of Madison Square Garden via wheelchair.

The medical incident took place around the third quarter of the Knicks-Heat matchup and delayed the game for 10 minutes as staff rushed to address the matter. MSG officials told the outlet, “We hope Tracy feels better soon and look forward to seeing him back courtside.”
The outlet adds that it reached out to Morgan’s reps but did not receive a response.
Tracy Morgan has battled health issues over the years, including receiving a kidney transplant. The SNL alum also was severely injured in a 2014 automobile crash and his long road to recovery has become part of both his standup act and his testimony.
On X, fans of Morgan are sharing their warm thoughts as he continues to heal from this latest incident.

Jonathan Majors was seen as largely shedding some of the bad press that surrounded his name in the wake of the incident between him and ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Despite the civil lawsuit brought by Jabbari being recently settled, an audio clip has surfaced that appears to highlight Jonathan Majors admitting to strangling Jabbari.
In the audio clip procured by Rolling Stone, Jonathan Majors, 35, can reportedly be heard speaking to Grace Jabbari and seemingly confessing to using physical force against her but it isn’t truly highlighted what the impetus was for that allegedly violent exchange.
In the audio clip, Majors is heard saying “I’m ashamed I’ve ever…I’ve never aggressive with a woman before. I’ve never aggressed a woman, I aggressed you.”
Jabbari is heard firing back saying “You strangled me and pushed me against the car.”
Majors responded “Yes, all those things are under ‘aggressed,’ yeah. That’s never happened to me.”
Jabbari goes on to say that a sarcastic comment she made towards Majors prompted him to violently react to her and she suggested that the actor is contending with deeper issues pertaining to anger management. Majors alluded to the fact that something about Jabbari sparked that side of him before the audio cuts off.
So far, a comment from Jonathan Majors or Grace Jabbari has yet to surface, but on X, plenty of fans have reactions pointing to the actor’s slow climb in rehabbing his image and how this sets those efforts back several paces.

A woman who named Sean “Diddy” Combs in a lawsuit last October has amended the filing, adding social media star Druski, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr., and singer Jaguar Wright over the weekend. Druski and Odell Beckham Jr. have responded to the claims, which allege that the aforementioned were involved in drugging, assaulting and raping the woman.
Ashley Parham filed the initial lawsuit against Sean “Diddy” Combs back in October of 2024, updating the filing on Sunday (March 9) by adding Druksi, real name Drew Desbordes, Odell Beckham Jr., and Jaguar Wright, a vocal critic of the entertainment industry, to the lawsuit. Several outlets have issued reports on Parham’s lawsuit, with most writing that the filing levies serious allegations against the accused. Parham said that Druski covered himself in oil and jumped on the victim, treating her body as, quote, “a slip and slide.”
Druski took to social media to push back against Parham’s claims. In 2018, when the alleged incident took place, Desbordes stated that he was not a public figure at the time and was still living at home.
“This allegation is a fabricated lie,” began the posted statement. “I wasn’t a public figure in 2018 — I was broke living with my mom without any connections to the entertainment industry at the time of this allegation, so the inclusion of my name is truly outlandish.
Desbordes continued, “My heart breaks for actual victims of abuse, but I’m fully confident that the evidence will expose this falsehood and the individuals who are maliciously trying to game the legal system to peddle false narratives.”
Beckham replied under a post on X that Desbordes shared to say, “Boy I’ll tell u what. This world makes absolutely no sense. I am covered by God. He will prevail. I kno who am I , I kno who u are, keep ur head. That name will be cleared. Shxts stupid.”
After news of the allegations went wide, Druski’s name began trending on X, with many making comments about the comedian’s size and other low jabs. Others are also condemning Desbordes without all of the facts present, and those comments persisted through Sunday and continue today (March 10).
On X, we’ve gathered responses to the amended lawsuit below.
