Record setting job growth so unemployment is down, the leader of ISIS is killed, courts are preventing Republicans from gerrymandering away people's voting rights, Covid infections are down sharply (though deaths are still too high) and the Olympics have started while the Superbowl is played next week.

This week we observed the one-year anniversary of the Trump-led attempt to overthrow our democracy on January 6, 2021.

We can't let down now. So the theme for this weekend's music thread is about standing up, staying strong, and fighting to win against the destructive forces trying to rip democracy out of the majority's hands.
After the past five years of dealing with the Trump Regime, the 1/6 insurrection that continues today, Covid, Climate-Change-caused natural disasters, and a Tiger King sequel, we sure deserve a good year!

Songs about things that are new or starting and songs that express hopes and desires for good things you would like to see in 2022 are all on the fresh slate this weekend.
