I try not to mourn too much for musicians
But this isn’t just any “musician”
Feels like my best friend died and the loss is very overwhelming
I grieve for #music as a whole
A immense beacon of light just gone
and a violent reminder that life is fragile

Anyway, if you care, here is your #DAngelo starter kit I just spent a week building just to not listen to it because I’m gonna collapse and have a meltdown at any given moment

Enjoy(?)

@a_lex_ander hey. From an insiders view there was nothing really democratic going on in the first place. I’m glad it’s visible to others now.

Is it just me or are most Americans just delusional as fk when it comes to the severity and reality of the situation?

Am I the only one that wouldn’t step foot into ANY protest considering the fact this is a highly retaliatory regime leaning into a full surveillance state? Showing up to protests arranged by Walmart benefactors with no masks on and cameras everywhere?

Can anyone explain what the goal is and how this gets convicted felons out of federal office?

“Played the race card” says the white man, ignoring the fact white people invented the concept of race then based a slavery system behind it. Insane.

Then weaponizes Black civil rights moments to make his nonpoint. Embarrassing.

Like it’s just so see through and disingenuous. It doesn’t take much to deconstruct the fake allyship of most White Americans. I’m sick of liberal racial sociopathy and psychosis.

I’m sorry, but no one cares about the pity parade in the street hitting critical mass or whatever. The end goal of this “protest” appears to be nothing, as usual. Also, you wouldn’t need the liberal pity parade if you just voted for a Black woman. But never that.

Nazis are in office eroding basic rights. Trans people are being told they don’t exist and Black and Brown people are being disappeared by ICE.

What are you doing about that.

@evan no. If I could still vote it out.

Not trying to be a jerk. We are leaning into the statistical fact that more than half of you didn’t even show up to vote, however.

So more than half of you at these angry racist liberal parades need to go home and figure out what drove you to not vote in the first place.

Look at all those people who didn’t vote because they hate Black Women and couldn’t curb their racism for 3 seconds, outside at the pity parade protesting the consequences of their own poor decisions.

Yeah. This will SURELY STOP the onslaught of nazi fascist bullshit that scammed its way into the White House now.

Stop supporting Spotify. We told you a long time ago. They’ve been running ICE recruiting ads for at least the last month. Please stop using it. Please.

The hero of #Altadena: Edwin Castro, winner of the 2022 $2.2 billion dollar Powerball, and longtime resident of Alta/Pasadena.

Hes developed a 10 year plan to help rebuild our city, and is currently buying out lots from the #EatonFire to avoid mass buyouts by corporate developers, with plans to resell directly back to Pasadena/Altadena natives only. It’s actually… incredible.

@dalias this is exactly the issue OMG put it in a thesis somewhere

I guess it needs to be said out loud, so as usual, I’m going to say the thing.

It is NOT hard to run/maintain a well moderated* social media site, whatever the format might be. I’ve ran discords, sites, and major message boards with no issue.

Anyone saying “moderation is hard” is being emotionally lazy, and in all honesty, you just don’t want to do the uncomfortable work of telling friends to stop being racist. You’re also refusing accountability for what happens in spaces you create and own.

@steter driving into sky way when it happened.

Now that some time has passed I’m going to say that watching a massive explosion happen directly next LAX as I’m pulling into LAX has to be one of the scariest moments of my entire fucking life.

If free healthcare, education and housing is “evil” and “socialism,” then why is that the main selling point of the joining US Military?

How are you offering/selling socialism to go defend White American capitalism?

Nothing makes any sense over here please send help

Forever thinking about Alabama AG (and eventually governor) Bill Baxley who, when threatened by the KKK for pursuing justice for the 4 girls killed in a KKK Black church bombing back in 1968 (Denise McNair, Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and Cynthia Wesley, say their names), responded with the most legendary retort you could ever put on government letterhead paper:

KISS MY ASS.

CRISPR editing the HIV off genetic patterns to destroy the virus completely? No wonder my 3 dollars in stock jumped the way it did. lmao.
