We have a real fight on our hands again to keep our independence, freedom and democracy alive in this country so this July 4th weekend's music thread is for songs about America, good and bad, freedom, and conscience.
Americans will continue to protest and come together to reverse this atrocity and the theocratic dictates of this illegitimate court. This weekend's music thread is about standing against what's morally wrong and fighting for what's right. Share your favorite songs about protest, resistance or justice as we stand against the fringe who seek to dominate the many.
It's Father's Day Weekend so it's a good time to take some time to share gratitude for fathers who have loved, taught and helped raise their children to be good and kind people. Share songs that are about fathers, children or that you want to send to your father whether he's here or looking down on you.
Weep for the Uvalde parents. They will never again hear the laughter of their children. For the grandparents, uncles, and aunts who will never again receive those precious hugs and kisses from their beloved grandchild, nephew, or niece.
This weekend's music thread is dedicated to the poor victims and their devastated families and friends in Uvalde. Songs about children, parents, family, love and life are the theme this weekend.
Karma is indeed a bitch, and both Will Smith and Chris Rock are learning from it. One will have to do penance; the other will benefit. I leave it up to you to figure out who is who.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson epitomizes what excellence looks like to the fullest despite all the obstacles placed before her path — stoically facing a gaggle of stupid questions such as when Lindsey Graham asked her to rate her faithfulness.
To float a reminder of how urgent the need to address Climate Change and the threat of droughts are, this weekend's theme includes songs about water, land and fire.
We can and should take this time to celebrate the marvelous moms who are with us now and those who may not be here but are always in our thoughts. Songs about women, mothers, and children are what we're sending out along with our love to moms around the world this weekend!
Among my list of pet peeves, is liberal. Is this because the conservatives on FOX made it toxic so I had to choose progressive? Maybe at first. But I did the little researching thing, and prefer left or progressive for several international and historic(al?) reasons.

For Whom The Dell Tolls
