Every time I hear Right Wing talking points abt The “Radical”Left, that’s Centrist (at BEST?). 👁️ 🤣. WE HAVE NO “LEFT”. The accusation is ludicrous.The idea that healthcare shouldn’t BANKRUPT US, being seen as a Socialist Plot is LAUGHABLE. Capitalism is EATING US ALIVE at the Table Of The OLIGARCHS

We (along with Anthrax) were one of the handful of Rock bands that embraced Rap & Hiphop early on. I’m very proud of the fact that I played on the very first Publuc Enemy record Yo! Bum Rush The Show!

Problematic as FBI & CIA are ? The Secret Police to follow, loyal Only To Him, shouldn’t give most of us comfort. What we take for granted? Presumption of innocence? Rules of warrants, & evidence? Security of possessions & privacy? Will fall away quickly. Welcome to Blackness. Make yourselves Comfy!

At a Certain Point- the sheer incoherence of what is happening; the complete insanity of removing people with YEARS of experience with, & knowledge of, not only how things work, but how the working parts INTERACT with each other, is going to GRIND EVERYTHING we take for granted to an anarchic HALT.

Well played.

Just so’s we’re clear - an unelected, unvetted, Oligarchic, Drug Addict with NO SECURITY CLEARANCE & NO FORMAL BUDGETARY EXPERIENCE has been given COMPLETE ACCESS to Treasury & Social Security assets to do WHO KNOWS WHAT?! WITH A MYSTERY “ TEAM” who ALSO HAVE NO BUSINESS HANDLING OUR RECORDS!?

That’s the key to the facade- never to grimace or snarl. To be unfailingly pleasant & polite. The darker passions have their place. In privat.

Never doubt Your heart 💜

I have never been more alarmed with the state of the government in my LIFE. How is it POSSIBLE that Elon Musk is ALLOWED to do what he’s DOING? How has he been given ACCESS to the TREASURY? to OUR SOCIAL SECURITY INFO?!!!

I applaud his individual integrity. It’s going to take a LOT more than a few positive Human Interest memes to counteract what has been unleashed at all levels of life. Every single step of decency is appreciated.

Fear

Black Cats RULE

It is finally raining in L.A. I hope it helps more than it hurts.🔵

Is HipHop is dead as a music of political resistance,as an even rarely progressive movement? Sad to say, it seems to have wholesale capitulated to rightwing oligarchism. Snoop’s utter transformation as MAGA’S favorite Pet Of The Moment is, I fear, the tip of a terrible iceberg of Toxic Materialism.

Saying “It’s just stuff”. is shockingly insensitive- That lone picture of a greatgrandparent. A hard won diploma. That baby sippycup that’s ALWAYS in the kitchen drawer, even though he’s 34 & never calls. A record collection your uncle left to you. The appliances can be replaced. #I♥️LA.

I’m on it with #Reverendguiitars re; left handed Totem models.

Please share

Happy New Year Everyone!

Best Justice Money can buy!

My Brotha! WhutUp?!🖤

40 Year's ago, tonight, Black Rock Coalition threw it's first public event, our Drop The Bomb dance party. Today is also the 3rd anniversary of the passing of BRC co-founder & my Funkadelic Boho partner-in-crime, Greg Tate, who would have been 67 on October 14th💔❤️‍🩹💙.

BRAD! WhutUp Bruh!?👊🏿♥️

The horror on this young woman’s face is palpable.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Happy Misgiving! I like it! Feels good… feels… SO right - right now.

Awesome that you’re here Tricia!

Twitter was the ONLY Social Media environment to put real money in my pocket directly via connections with others. Not LinkedIn, and most definitely NOT FaceBook. Our mileages clearly varied.

Wouldn’t it be funny if Right Wing hedge-fund money bought BlueSky? What assurances do we have that what happened to Twitter can’t happen here? Elon wanted to back out of that deal, & NAMELESS GREED FORCED THE SALE. I hope those nouveau riche b*stards sleep well. Happy Holidays.

Apparently This Is The Place To Be.

Heard of them. Never heard them. Need to get hip.

HAIL NOPE

MAY THE 4TH, BE WITH YOU!

I’m starting to. Twitter is tough these days. I hate what it’s become, but I have follower equity built over time. There are some major exits, if & when they happen, will be a no way back from for me.

Actually? There are a multiplicity of conversations to be had, including the legal rights of artists , the difference between infringement & influence, then tension between augmentation vs creation. Policing my use of A.I. is also policing my speech. That’s worth a conversation. At least.

💯 %. This 👇🏿.

Feuding as dueling?

Polyfeudal sounds like a socio-economic whose time I REALLY HOPE hasn’t arrived.

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY LADIES & LADS💘😍♥️💛💚🥰🖤💔❤️‍🩹🌷💐🪷🌺🌸🌼🪸🌸🌹🤩😵‍💫😇😈😉
