I mean, they weren’t doing no journalism anyway. Maybe now they will report accurately on this corrupt and compromised regime.

A flyer with the words “journalism is not a crime” appeared Tuesday on the wall outside the “Correspondents’ Corridor” where journalists operate at the Pentagon.

It was a silent protest of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s new policy that severely restricts press access. https://cnn.it/4qdizB1

I think D'Angelo's uniqueness goes without saying. I feel like that was a prerequisite of the artists who were categorized as "neo soul".

Multiple generations influenced him & then he influenced multiple generations (whether or not the youngins are aware of it or not).

I appreciate how he recognized the synthesis of music artists & musicianship inside of D'Angelo's artistry - as in what influenced him. I also loved how he sd "who didnt want to be D'Angelo", bc to me in corroboration w his 1st statement is discussing multiple generations.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

I don't know why ppl hate dictionaries.

They love dictators.

Don't want someone else to define words.

Want someone to define & destroy their lives.

Girl, true definitions mean nothing anymore. 😩 Ppl pick a word they like or think makes them different but yet also part of a group (??? it's so bizarre) & run with it.

I’m so tired of these self proclaimed introverts who ain’t introverted or the ones who attribute everything more socially acceptable or popular to being introverted

Logan's right tho. Stop pretending. I LOVE when they stop pretending! Be all the way who you are. I like to see you.

And the backlash to it will be even greater. It (the supposed meaning) will only be of use if it is accompanied by zero tolerance for the anti‐ of it.

We are appalled by the vile and inexcusable language revealed in the Politico article published today. Such behavior is disgraceful, unbecoming of any Republican, and stands in direct opposition to the values our movement...

I definitely was hoping he'd tour & we'd get a chance to see him at his most comfortable aged self, having overcome all of the challenges that got in the way of his creativity & art.

Swear, time don't wait. SMH. 🕊

D'Angelo was remarkable in so many ways. I'm saddest right now, as a fan, that we won't be getting an eccentric late period from him. His contributions remain inestimable but what he would have made in his 50s and onward, I just know it would have been amazing. RIP
