Happy 96th in trumpet heaven, Brownie. Had you lived past 25, you might have become the GOAT of #trumpetnation

"Later on, with Miles' music, you could do anything with it. He said to me, "Do whatever you want." I'd say, "Oh yeah, okay, I'll take care of it...."
Remembering the great jazz record producer Teo Macero (here pictured with Miles in NYC in 1971), born OTD 1925 in Glens Falls.
Happy 101st in sax heaven, John Haley Sims, better known as Zoot. @TheJazzHerald @zootswings @drowsygeek @LindaSadlouskos @grbenny @stevewfolds @ctair1968 #jazzeveryday
Play this on a loop for the brain trust of the #Yankees.
Jake Bauers gifted Pat Murphy the final out ball. Murphy thanked him and told him
“You’re gonna be a rich fucker. Just remember when you’re on that horse shit Yankee team and you’re all playing for yourselves….just remember this is way we used to do it”

God bless Barack Hussein Obama. I love this man. What a good president (despite what the right AND the left said!)
He always had a good sense of humor and timing.
And FU, all on the left who gave him shit and helped get Trump elected.
.@BarackObama: I am old enough to remember when a president wearing a tan suit was a major national controversy. They were very upset. And I know I looked good in that suit.
Tall guy looks chatty. Just gotta keep an eye on the thug with the scythe. #investigatorlife

It's impossible for non-lawyers to appreciate just how stunning it is for the Trump DoJ to lose so many cases in so many ways.
It would have been inconceivable at any time before Trump that the DoJ would fail so consistently.
Write this in stone for Bibi's blind loyalists, Mike Huckabibi and his boss in the White House, and the various and sundry terrorists in the settlements who have turned the West Bank into a tinderbox that could make Gaza look like a campfire.

This is maybe the biggest surprise and quite an astonishing feat. In 75 years of Israel nothing has so animated its Arab citizens to vote as this extreme right wing and anti-Arab government.

Except for the 400,000 permanently disenfranchised Palestinians in East Jerusalem, in the city which you purport to share with them.
But hey, nobody's perfect.
Correct @BarakRavid & I should have stated it that way! 10 million ppl in @Israel 8m Jews, 2m Arabs. ALL are Israeli citizens-Jew, Muslim, or Christian. All vote, serve in IDF, in Knesset, & proudly have Israeli passports. Women equal to men. All have free speech.

I don't think there's another election anywhere in the world like election day in Israel.

הצבעתי! כערבייה פלסטינית ונבחרת ציבור בישראל - זו זכות אדירה ובלתי מובנת אליו להצביע ולהשפיע. יום טוב להעיף את הפאשיסטים הביתה, ולהמשיך לבנות מקום שבו לכלנו יש זכות לעצמאות, לביטחון, ולצדק.
My hometown of #Poughkeepsie has some rough spots, just like any post-industrial city. But in my neighborhood, the biggest danger is a sudden weight gain. Moderation, son.
