This is an old song by @iamcalebhawley and it’s on my election anxiety calmdown playlist. A little dose of hope.

Do you want to know the progress that happened after that performance?
It’s actually astounding, when you think about it.
The Affordable Care Act was signed into law less than a year later.
Don’t Ask Don’t Tell was repealed.
Dodd-Frank was signed into law-bank reform (didn’t...
go far enough but it was something).
Gay marriage was made legal in every state.
We had the first ever major party female Presidential candidate.
That’s a small portion of the progress.
Yes, trump n frenz are trying to roll back all the progress. They want the current gilded age
to last forever. They want to turn us into an oligarchy, like Russia.
It won’t work.
“Cause ever since the world began, when the people go down, they get right back up again. I know that it’s hard to imagine, but it’s gonna happen-and I’ll see you on the other side of it all.”
We have some major fucking messes to clean up once we vote these fuckers out. But we can do it. We’ve done it before.

Just a lil note on timing. Something I’ve been thinking about.
August 14, 2020, this story is published. Breaks news: criminal referrals to DoJ from Senate Intel re possible perjury by Bannon, Don Jr, Kushner, Manafort, Hope Hicks.
latimes.com/politics/story…
Referral made 3 months after 4/18/19, but before 7/26/19. So, call it sometime between 7/19/19-7/25/19 that the criminal referral is made by bipartisan Senate Intel, signed by Warner & Burr.
5 days after the criminal referral re perjury breaks, WSJ news division (the good side of WSJ, not the shit tier editorial side) breaks this:
