If I was old enough to catch the bus by myself (and had more than $5 ever), I would have loved to go to Rick James first tour, Fire It Up. It had little known Teena Marie whose album he was producing for Motown and Prince as his opening act.
We need "All about Eve" type biopic about that tour.🎶🎸

This is a complete misunderstanding of the motivations of people in the U.S. who voted for and support this regime.
It's not the economy or "protection from markets".

I miss having a Black late-night talk show.
Not a late-night talk show with a Black host…
But an unapologetically Black late-night talk show, à la Arsenio Hall…
Where shit doesn’t get diluted or filtered down to appease a white audience.
“Nah, we’re Black as hell and you’re gonna watch anyway!”

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Hew Locke created this portrait of Queen Elizabeth Il from mass-produced plastic objects.
Born in Edinburgh, Scotland and raised in newly postcolonial Guyana, Locke recalls being reprimanded for defacing images of the Queen in his youth.
