“We are here because the American dream and our American democracy are under attack and on the line like never before.

So, let’s answer that question to the world and each other right now: America, we are better than this,” - Kamala Harris Jan 27, 2019 Oakland, CA

HARRIS: When we have children in cages crying for their mothers and fathers, don't you dare call that "border security." That’s human rights abuse.— Mikel Jollett (@Mikel_Jollett) January 27, 2019

“We know this is not going to be easy. We know what the doubters will say ... it’s not your time ... wait your turn ... the odds are long. They’ll say it can’t be done. But America’s story has always been written by people who can see what can be unburdened by what has been.” pic.twitter.com/FJ4lJ1yelc— Maya Harris (@mayaharris_) January 27, 2019

Highly recommended.

The Killers - Land Of The Free - Video by Spike Lee
Powerful and Timely! Kudos to The Killers and Spike Lee
"We got more people locked up than the rest of the world
Right here in red, white and blue
Incarceration's become big business
It's harvest time out on the avenue"
"So how may daughters, tell me how many sons
Do we have to put in the ground before we just break down and face it
We got a problem with guns"
A real national emergency is the epidemic of gun violence in America. On average, 96 people die from it every single day. Let's do something about that.— Kamala Harris (@KamalaHarris) January 12, 2019
Bob Lefsetz writes,"The message of the song, the message of the video. What does America stand for? But that wall hasn't been built yet and the Killers don't want it to be. They're making a statement that will reach their fans more than anything in the "New York Times," never mind Fox News. That's the power of art, to change minds.
And if this were the eighties, this video would be all over MTV, the talk of the nation. But in the teens, it's impossible to reach everybody. But disruption never sleeps, it's just a matter of who is willing to fight.
We've been overwhelmed with the innovation of the techies for two decades. But we've learned in the past few years that the majordomos have no moral center, which is why artists need to take the reins and make a statement.
Like the Killers."

Robert Frost Recites -"Stopping by woods on a snowy evening"
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
-
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
-
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
-
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
-Robert Frost
