If youโ€™re canceling and want to preserve your playlists/songs, you can use SongShift. It will help transfer to platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, Pandora, Soundcloud, Deezer, Audiomack, Discogs, Hype Machine, Napster, Qobuz, and YouTube.

I think any story about Trump's autocracy should be mostly about the people and institutions who failed to stop it. This guy isn't a political genius, everything else just happens to be rotten. 'Toddler Consolidates Power In Household' is a story about incompetent parents, not shrewd maneuvering

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

Let's try something new.

If you donate to a food bank and tell me how much and which one, I'll match your donation.

If it's less than $50, I'll round up.

Tag me, reply here, or DM if you prefer.

Why food banks? Because if we want to survive a general strike, we need to keep people fed.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

Article (Nolan Feeney; TIME) excerpt reads: โ€œBlack Messiah is a hell of a name for an album. It can be misunderstood. Many will think it's about religion. Some will jump to the conclusion that I'm calling myself a Black Messiah. For me, the title is about all of us. It's about the world. It's about an idea we can all aspire to. We should all aspire to be a Black Messiah.

It's about people rising up in Ferguson and in Egypt and in Occupy Wall Street and in every place where a community has had enough and decides to make change happen, D'Angelo writes in a statement about the album It's not about praising one charismatic leader but celebrating thousands of them. Not every song on this album is politically charged (though many are), but calling this album Black Messiah creates a landscape there these songs can live to the fullest. Black Messiah is not one man. It's a feeling that, collectively, we are all that leader.โ€

What Dโ€™Angelo said Black Messiah means. It came out at the end of 2014 and it was so needed.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicagoโ€™s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door. โ€จโ€จIt wasnโ€™t the feds โ€”ย  it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.

Cervical cancer could be eradicated. But not with Medicaid cuts and anti-vax politics. The cancer has a known path of prevention, but that also means it falls at the intersection of cultural issues that are facing strong political opposition.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

I created an app where you can shop Black Owned Businesses on one app. It has a Mutual Aid section and so far it helped raise $150,000+ people struggling in the community.
