While talking about Teena Marie's "Irons In The Fire" album, @christhewriter.bsky.social had a quick thought about people he wishes he could've seen in concert.

Neal Carter @nealcarter.bsky.social · Aug 11

LA, DC, and Chicago are all majority Black cities, and while Black communities are consistently under threat we're still here.

Are you gonna show up for us?

Trump: "If we need to, we're gonna do the same thing in Chicago, which is a disaster. We have a mayor there who is totally incompetent and we have an incompetent governor there ... hopefully LA is watching."
