Hey Gen X (yes Boomers Zoomers & everyone before after or in between can answer) Since we are the MTV generation I’d love to hear your answer to this prompt!
What song has really dark lyrics but a happy, peppy sound?
I’m going w/99 Luftballoons & Walk the dinosaur
Thoughts?
THIS WAS FUN! So many great songs. I couldn't include everybody's choices but i gave myself a time limit to make the playlist and i included as many as possible before stopping myself at 70 songs. Here ya go! youtube.com/playlist?list=…
I don’t have anything to promote and I don’t need anything for myself but if you enjoy the playlist consider donating to my pet project of fundraising to get these two marvelous women in The Senate
The first time I posted the playlist something went wrong and I got an error message. Sorry about that I hope this version works. youtube.com/playlist?list=…

2) Dress codes at both work & school have long upheld discriminatory practices. One teacher was so “offended” by a mixed faced girls hair she cut it ALL off without the parents permission! Again I’m not making this up!
3) Black bodies are CONSTANTLY policed yes by the police but even “ordinary citizens” who DECIDE we must assimilate to what THEY think is acceptable! Take this referee who forced a CHILD in high school to either cut his dreads or forfeit the match.
It sounds like a conspiracy theory but I’m begging you to connect the threads. The GOP has a CHILD TRAFFICKING PROBLEM! It links this guy & Matt Gaetz, & Epstein, and Betsy DeVos with her evangelical adoption agencies and children of immigrants whose parents were arrested.
1) Heard this story on the news, this TRUE STORY. Amid the war in Ukraine with people dying, fleeing, etc. stray animals are becoming a real problem. So a group of Ukrainian women have been trying to capture as many of the strays as they can & take them to vets & animal shelters
2) One of the women found a particularly ornery husky who was clearly scared, hungry, and just a bit viscous but she still managed to subdue it and take it to the vet. The vet checked the animal, it was healthy, hungry and scared, oh & by the way
IT WAS A WOLF!
3) As long as I live may I NEVER PISS OFF A UKRAINIAN they are made of stronger stuff!
The task is #53Pickup
The task is to make Mansion & Cinema irrelevant
The task is harm reduction
How does nominating a vigilante who will lose to GOP advance your progressive cause?
How does nominating a Black guy with no $ who will lose to GOP advance Black causes?
Listen it’s time for people to stop being emotional about politics cause that’s not what it’s for. If you are in your feelings about elections you need a different hobby. Nobody cares about your fee fees. HARM REDUCTION #53Pickup. That’s the task, period. No more McGraths. FFS
OUTRAGEOUS!
THIS IS WHAT WE MEAN BY SYSTEMIC RACISM!!!
The town was completely ignored while White officials ran it into the ground &stole from it. Now that they have Black officials and are getting an economic boom the “powers that be” are demanding the town dissolve instead!
So if you’re keeping track the comptroller is using the previous bad acts of White officials who stole from the Black town & the debt accrued under their leadership as the pretext to steal the town from the new Black leadership who secured a Ford plant.
Y’all are letting the pundits make U “feel some type of way” about the results tonight! Look BEYOND what they’re telling you to look at! Yes VA showed what racist BACKLASH looks like but many MAYORAL races showed you what we’re fighting for, diverse America had many wins. Thread
