Oh, Jay. I love this so much! Fully committed to embracing all Illuminati rumors with a little Jacob’s Ladder cum Damien cum The Stand imagery. *snicker* Yessir. Brilliant.

And for me, it’s this year’s battle anthem.

a holiday classic.

Checking out this installation at this Fort Greene Laundromat (located at 81 Lafayette Avenue) sponsored by @laundromatproj on this rainy Tuesday evening in the Shire.

Some details noted below:

At one point between 15 and 20 people were banging on the doors of the high school, trying to get inside. Police barred them from entering the building. Meanwhile, students watched from classroom windows.

I’m behind on a news and twitter cycle about @derrionalbert by at least a couple of days. As I searched through the trending topic (#derrionalbert) I read the above callout quote.

I don’t have the stomach to watch the video. It may because it’s somewhere between weakness and desensitization. I can’t watch any human suffering, yet I fear that we all see it too much to really to feel anything. I hope that’s not true.

But now? Who are these kids? Have we been raising our kids to beat each other savagely like this? Where’s our moral center? How have we as a community failed to teach and affirm life to this generation?

What hurts me as much as the death of this kid, this honor student, and beyond the bloodlust of the mob, is the police. The spectacle, the gladiator style savagery, and seeming appearance that the police did nothing to intervene to stop the slaughter of the innocent, standing like sentinels inside the fortress.

My god, my god. What have we done?

Affirm Life.

Today’s Anthem… even with Hova’s hoarse voice.
