Yesterday, one of the world’s greatest singer songwriters, the undisputed King 👑 of Calypso, & pioneer of Soca, The Mighty Sparrow of Trinidad & Tobago 🇹🇹, has gone on. Everyone with a Caribbean background knows his name, and many more besides. Rest In Power to the GOAT 🐐.

The poet, artist, activist, gallery owner, and art curator Danny Simmons has passed. He was much more than the brother of Russell Simmons-he mentored generations of artists, as well as developing collectors, and inspiring emerging curators. He had ♥️, Soul & 🧠 Rest In Power 🌹

Hope I’m wrong, but I.C.E. agents at the airport are going to be a permanent fixture even after TSA gov shutdown resolution. It’s a perfect way for Trump to intimidate travelers at International Blue City airports. There will be racial profiling, and bad outcomes.

The accusation is the confession. Trump is the greatest purveyor of PURE BUNK AND HOKEM in the Nation’s HISTORY. That he’s the POTUS at the nation’s 250th anniversary is some Cosmic Fufillment of Karma.

His contempt for the Geneva convention, rules of engagement or taking of prisoners endangers our troops. It goes without saying that the death of civilians, including children means nothing to him. Soldiers that don’t share his psychopathy are goin to pay a serious spiritual & mental price.

Ozzy Osborne. Black Sabbath. Broke EVERY rule. Especially their own. Ozzy Osborne was Larger Than Life in ways that defy mere description. Feared. Beloved. Revered Metal began with Him. As well as its ensuing Panic. He changed EVERYTHING. Farewell To The The King ! 👑 🖤 🌹

The volatility between the 2 countries has been needlessly ratcheted up to a space of unpredictability. Taipei chips are at the heart of tech advancement. Its independence is precarious, only held together by perceived stability in the region. These Tariff Wars are absolutely not helping

That the stock market has rebounded, should not give false comfort.The expanding Econ conflict with China could easily spill over into real War. If Beijing is pushed far & hard enough? Taipei is in a Problem.American isolation from its allies could factor in to pushing One China’s timetable forward.

Every time I hear Right Wing talking points abt The “Radical”Left, that’s Centrist (at BEST?). 👁️ 🤣. WE HAVE NO “LEFT”. The accusation is ludicrous.The idea that healthcare shouldn’t BANKRUPT US, being seen as a Socialist Plot is LAUGHABLE. Capitalism is EATING US ALIVE at the Table Of The OLIGARCHS

We (along with Anthrax) were one of the handful of Rock bands that embraced Rap & Hiphop early on. I’m very proud of the fact that I played on the very first Publuc Enemy record Yo! Bum Rush The Show!

Problematic as FBI & CIA are ? The Secret Police to follow, loyal Only To Him, shouldn’t give most of us comfort. What we take for granted? Presumption of innocence? Rules of warrants, & evidence? Security of possessions & privacy? Will fall away quickly. Welcome to Blackness. Make yourselves Comfy!

At a Certain Point- the sheer incoherence of what is happening; the complete insanity of removing people with YEARS of experience with, & knowledge of, not only how things work, but how the working parts INTERACT with each other, is going to GRIND EVERYTHING we take for granted to an anarchic HALT.

Just so’s we’re clear - an unelected, unvetted, Oligarchic, Drug Addict with NO SECURITY CLEARANCE & NO FORMAL BUDGETARY EXPERIENCE has been given COMPLETE ACCESS to Treasury & Social Security assets to do WHO KNOWS WHAT?! WITH A MYSTERY “ TEAM” who ALSO HAVE NO BUSINESS HANDLING OUR RECORDS!?

I have never been more alarmed with the state of the government in my LIFE. How is it POSSIBLE that Elon Musk is ALLOWED to do what he’s DOING? How has he been given ACCESS to the TREASURY? to OUR SOCIAL SECURITY INFO?!!!
