Damar Hamlin is such a humble and genuine person. I can’t wait for him to wake up and feel just how much he is loved and respected. 🙏

Left University of Cincinnati Medical Center a few moments ago. Very classy gesture from the @Bengals, who’ve lit Paycor Stadium in the @BuffaloBills’ blue and white for Damar Hamlin.

Damar Hamlin's most recent post on Instagram is about his 3rd annual toy drive.

The original goal for the drive was $2,500. They have raised around $800,000 in the last few hours alone. 🙏❤️

…if GB beats DET next week and SEA beats the Rams, it would create a two-way tie between SEA and GB at 9-8. And the tiebreaker then would be conference record, with GB edging out SEA (7-5 vs 6-6).

So despite being in 9th place now, all GB has to do is win at home next week.

Get this: in 2020, Donald Trump claimed he closed his foreign bank account in China before running in 2016. But Trump’s newly-released tax returns show he *did* hold foreign bank accounts in China in 2016 AND 2017. Trump lied to voters. And it’s about time he is held accountable.

Former Trump counselor Hope Hicks recounts her discussions with WH lawyer Eric Herschmann and others about pleading for Trump to advocate for non-violent protests:

"Mr. Herschmann had said he had made the same recommendation directly to the president and that he had refused."

AG Merrick Garland: “Now, more than ever, all Americans have a moral obligation to stand up against such hate. Together, we must stand up against the disturbing rise in antisemitism, and together we must stand up against bigotry in any of its forms. Our democracy depends on it.”

Putin is purposely terrorizing Ukrainian non-combatants. Russia should be designated a state sponsor of terrorism.

These performances, culled from his Folkways recordings, reveal the artistry and passion that he brought to the blues.
