Meet Aimee Bock, mastermind of Massive Minneapolis Minnesota fraud scheme. She lured Somalis into opening daycares & wellness centers promising millions in Fed Govt funding. Most never got paid, she kept $250M and they closed. Ain't no ICE issues. Somali's were the victims, whistleblowers.

Open up this picture fully.

Then look at the surface of Mars.

Then look up to the top right.

Spot Mars' moon Phobos high in the sky.

That's Earth.

Isiah Whitlock Jr was one of those character actors who never met a bit part he couldn’t turn into a memorable role or a scene he couldn’t steal. RIP

I’ve reached that age where when a black celebrity dies, I earnestly think “they ain’t got no business being dead.”
