Pop star Sabrina Carpenter responded to the Trump White House using one of her songs in a pro-mass-deportation video. She described the video as "evil and disgusting" and wrote: "Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda." The White House made an official response, saying: "Anyone who would defend these sick monsters is stupid, or is it slow?" But, reports Zeteo, it's actually part of a White House strategy, to use popular music from anti-Trump artists, provoking a response that can then be used to amplify culture wars. Here's more.

Today marks 30 years since the premiere of 'Xena: Warrior Princess' back in 1995. A show that was never ashamed of its campiness, but at the same time managed to be groundbreaking on multiple levels. Setting new standards for female action heroines, featuring a main character that was messy and flawed, physically strong and athletic, who started as a villain seeking redemption.
Xena, despite its cheesiness and often ridiculous premise, succeeded in pushing the boundaries of queer representation, challenged stereotypes, defied several of the sexist tropes of '90s media, explored LGBTQIA+ themes, even themes of gender identity, and made a clear statement against the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS at the time.
It may not be a flawless masterpiece, but it's a beloved cult classic for good reason.
A compilation of images featuring several scenes and characters from the show including Ares, Callisto, Joxer, and Autolycus, with Xena and Gabrielle in the forefront and the Xena logo between the two images.
