An attendee told The Grayzone that oil industry heavyweights were less excited about Trump’s Venezuela policy, privately complaining about the President’s aggressive push to restart their operations.

I was sixteen when my mother gifted me a painting by Ernie Barnes. I’d seen one Barnes painting at that point on the cover of Marvin Gaye’s 1976 album, I Want You, on the brown carpeted floor of my Auntie Sue’s apartment.

We here at Sleeplinen know this time of year can trigger all kinds of feelings. For many, Presidents’ Day is a loaded holiday. For some Americans, the wounds are fresh. For others, this is another bad chapter in a long book of injustice. But for all of you, we want to be a space where you can shop for luxury bed linens.

That said, if you’d rather not receive our Presidents’ Day Sale emails this year, we totally get it.

We’ll still be going forward with our annual Presidents’ Day Sale, but we encourage everyone in our community to take care of themselves. For instance, take a break from the world and cover your eyes with 20 percent off our Sleeplinen Velvet Sleep Mask.

Ad makers will never say the quiet part loud, but they increasingly know that we’re unhappy and looking for solutions.
