Federal prisons had to stop using private equity prisons in 2022, then boom bam ICE took their spot.

And to add to this private prisons only make up about 8 percent of the people who are imprisoned.

You know how private equity companies get money through detainment?

Detention centers…

That’s why you saw in the news for a quick second talks about I think it was Core Civic getting a new contract.

Not for nothing we should have started burning things down when the the private equity companies got into the business of private prisons in the 80s!

"Private prisons" shouldn't even exist..

An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

D’Angelo has spoken against his sex icon image. He was pushed into that by the label and hated when he was on tour and ladies were treating him like a stripper. I hope in his passing we can celebrate his incredible musicality and dedication to the craft. 🌚

I live in a college town.

I don’t ever want to hear that you were attracted to any teen or shit even a 21 year old.

Why are you hanging out where teens and early 20 year olds are at?

I know they don’t have many spaces but YOU DO AS A 30 PLUS YEAR OLD.

Go to a jazz lounge, Uncle felony.

Sorry, guise, I'm not gonna feel bad for Angie Stone passing beyond it, affecting their son and how bad the situation itself was.

Shorty was 30 sexing on a teenager. I'm good off her. Yeah yeah shes a legend and whatnot [to you], but I'm good off that.

What D’Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: “Black Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.”

“D’Angelo’s First Album in 14 Years Is Finally Here, and It’s Surprisingly Timely” via TIME.

Like yes fascism is here but a lot of getting through this moment is going to be about giving up conveniences because they come as the expense of other people or extra expense to yourself. There is no such thing as a soft life in a capitalist system without SOMEONE being exploited.
