This weekend's music thread celebrates Passover by sharing and promoting the theme of fighting for freedom and equality. Songs about freedom, fighting the good fight, social justice and songs about protest are liberating for this weekend.

To celebrate Spring, which those of us staying safe at home during COVID-19 will just have to take on faith that it's here, this weekend's music thread is for planting songs about nature. Trees, rivers, fields, flowers, any songs about the living world around us are ripe for this thread.

as a reminder to folks to set their clocks ahead at 2:00 am on Sunday, This weekend's music thread is for songs about numbers. Share numerous songs about numbers, add and multiply them, they'll all count.

Many brave Democrats lost their seats in 2010 for voting for the ACA but in doing so, they saved and helped millions of Americans, past, present and future.

The uniqueness of the GOP being the first American political party to transform into a cult may undercut acceptance but that hurdle needs to be jumped or the existential threat this nation faces from this cult may come to pass.
