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.

ZAKARIA: Trump compared you to PT Barnum. It seems he still has some resentment toward Ukraine and you personally ZELENSKYY: I don't know, Fareed. I'm looking just to the facts. What American bases need now are interceptors. It's our technology.

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.

He speaks exclusively in vetbro tee shirt slogans and when you have command authority this is how murdering shipwrecked drugboat survivors and bombing schoolgirls happens.

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

With respect, of the two nations it’s very hard to see China being the one that initiates a military conflict vs. the world’s most bellicose nation run by very unsteady hands.

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.
