An hour and 11-minute long mix of nothing but D'Angelo live tracks from various shows during the Brown Sugar and Voodoo eras. It's so well done. Also downloadable.

Best concert ever. I ended up in the front row and D’Angelo shook my hand. I didn’t want to wash it. 😂 He was a special musician and will be missed.

If you didn’t get to see D’Angelo during his Voodoo run, here is an audio recording from his show in LA. 2 hours of musical heaven.

Had the opportunity to photograph D’Angelo the last time he was in Portland. I am beyond devastated.

This is so sad. D’Angelo was a legend in every sense. His music carried spirit, depth, and truth. You could feel his soul in every note. A true artist, one of a kind. My heart goes out to his son, losing both parents within months of each other.

Portland cyclists strip down in pouring rain to protest ICE facility and Trump troop deployment

Trump promised free plane tickets and $1,000 “exit bonuses” to immigrants who opted to self-deport.

ProPublica spoke to a dozen Venezuelan immigrants who said they followed the president’s instructions, yet never received the promised assistance.

“I Don’t Want to Be Here Anymore”: They Tried to Self-Deport, Then Got Stranded in Trump’s America

Venezuelan immigrants signed up for a Trump-promoted app called CBP Home, which promised a safe and easy way to leave the country, and prepared to leave on their given departure dates. Those dates hav...

Today in Portland, a fed shooting pepper balls from the roof of the ICE facility was so eager to aim for people’s heads, that after shooting one photographer in the head and another in the upper arm, they accidentally shot a DHS agent in the head. This photo shows the moment of impact;
