Good morning!

Today's gross fact is that that Epstein's Island (Little St. James) is part of the U.S. Virgin Islands, which the United States purchased from Denmark in 1917 for $25 million.

Denmark owns Greenland too. Weird coincidence, right?

From trailblazers like Jackie Robinson and Octavia Butler, to the proud historic community of Altadena, California's 28th District has a rich Black history paved by incredible leaders, past and present, who have broken barriers and changed our nation for the better.

Happy Black History Month.

This was posted in the new Epstein files release and removed about 20 mins later.

Wonder why that is.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com
I grew up with Alex Pretti
The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is stay soft in a world that keeps asking you to harden up.

Pay attention to what steadies you — a quiet moment, a voice, a song — and keep those things close. They ain’t escapes; they’re anchors.

Their light may have dimmed, but it will continue to shine through us...

...their legacy will live on forever.

Solidarity with Minneapolis.

Raw Story: Frustrated ICE officers fled a Minnesota neighborhood after residents alerted each other by triggering car alarms from inside their homes.

I love this idea! 💙

He actually did it.

The pilot of Air Force One told Donald Trump if he didn’t shut the fuck up, he turned the plane around and go home.

Probably 🤷🏻‍♂️

I always thought MLK’s ‘Mountaintop’ speech was his best, which was given the day before he was killed. It is especially relevant given what is happening now in MN and elsewhere. He was getting many serious threats, which he references in his line “I may not get there with you.”

The US is being terrorized by a domestic terror organization called ICE.

They are going door-to-door. They are stealing and kidnapping people. They have killed over 30 people so far.

We are being terrorized by the US government and what you have to do first is acknowledge it.
