D’Angelo was only 51. That’s why I don’t trip about being called old. Each year we get is a blessing. No telling how many we get.

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

A friend ran the Chicago marathon today and said he couldn’t count the number of FUCK ICE signs along the way.
