I nominate "Death on Two Legs" by Queen.
Have we picked a song for when Trump dies? Like how Thatcher got ‘Ding dong the witch is dead’.

Is there a song called: ‘Rot in hell you bastard?’

@votegloriaj.bsky.social @brotherjones.bsky.social Hey, can we get a resolution in the Tennessee Assembly naming the entire airport tunnel project for Gov. Bill Lee? Since he's the only state official responsible for it, I'd love to see his name tied directly to it forever. #bnaboondoggle

Talk about The Wire, Sopranos, Game of Thrones all you want, but the greatest US television program ever made is Sesame Street. It's not even close. 50+ years of treating kids across class, ethnicity, religion not as mini-consumers...but as citizens with a stake in this world.

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

If you want to see the opposite of “obeying in advance,” here it is. Remarkable bravery by Reverend Budde.
Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"

Watching a news story on preparation for the inauguration.
Me: I think they should make the capitol just like it looked on January 6.
Bear: They can't.
Me: Why not?
Bear: He wasn't there.
Me: (High-fiving her) Sick burn!
