We'd interacted with Phil Ateto on several occasions, though not nearly enough.

But on March 2, 2024, Maryland #PoorPeoplesCampaign held one of its largest actions, and no word spoken nor lyric sung would've been heard if not for Phil, who got us sound equipment, connecting us with Patrick/Re:Action, and them manning the equipment thru the conclusion. And they weathered the literal storm with us.

Thank you, Phil.

Lifelong activist, organizer and educator Denise Oliver-Vélez has died at the age of 78.

She was a central figure in the civil rights movements of the 1960s and 1970s and was the first woman elected to the Young Lords Central Committee, a radical Puerto Rican human rights group modeled on the Black Panther Party, which Oliver-Vélez was also a member of. She later became the first Black female program director in public radio and taught at SUNY New Paltz.

RIP to former 49ers *and* former Oakland Raider, Aldon Smith. He played a key role on the one special Raiders team I got to see make a miracle playoff run back in 2016. He had a short tenure with us, but I remembered him being a total beast off the edge for a brief moment there. Rest up, Aldon. Thanks for the memories. #nfl2026 #restinpower #football

#JazzLegend #SonnyRollins dies aged 95

by Toby Mann, May 26, 2026

"Legendary Jazz musician Sonny Rollins, who was known as the '#SaxophoneColossus', has died aged 95.

"He died at his home in Woodstock, New York, on Monday afternoon according to a statement from his publicist, who called him 'one of the most honored and influential figures in American music'.

"Rollins had a prolific career that began in the late 1940s. He worked with artists including Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and John Coltrane and released more than 60 albums as a band leader. He won two Grammys before respiratory illness forced him to retire in 2014.

"The cause of his death has not been announced."

Well, fuck.

Jackson stood tall for black folks, LGBTQ folks, for "the desperate, the damned, the disinherited, the disrespected, and the despised." Rest in peace Jesse, you were a light in dark places and the world is smaller without you.

Rev. Jesse Jackson ist von uns gegangen. Mit ihm verlässt uns eine Stimme, die über Jahrzehnte hinweg unbequem war – und deshalb notwendig.

Bürgerrechte sind nie einfach „da“. Sie werden erkämpft, verteidigt, neu legitimiert.

Jackson hat daran erinnert, dass - obwohl gleich geschaffen - die reale Gleichheit erkämpft werden muss.

Und dass Demokratie und Republik mehr bedeuten als Rituale.

Und dass Würde nicht verhandelbar ist.

#RestInPower! ✊🏾

Rest In Power to one of the kings of the low end, Billy Bass Nelson, best known as the original bassist with Funkadelic. His riffs & grooves were a huge reason the first 3 albums (Funkadelic, Free Your Mind…, and Maggot Brain) are so iconic. Thank you for the music Mr. Nelson!!

Dang, yet another great of comedic acting passing from us this week. Rest In Power to actor, author, pastor and Vietnam veteran Demond Wilson, who with Redd Foxx made for tons of laughs in my kidhood and beyond on "Sanford & Son". Thank you Mr. Wilson!

Rest In Power to iconic drummer & producer Sly Dunbar. In sessions and tours with the likes of Black Uhuru, Peter Tosh, Grace Jones, Bob Dylan, Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Cliff, among numerous others, and in his own group with equally iconic long time collaborator bassist Robbie Shakespeare, he always brought groove, taste and innovation to the tracks. Thank you for the music Maestro Dunbar!
