...I spent the last couple weeks creating a rage-filled playlist with friends on Spotify (updated pretty much daily) and now we are clear-eyed and ready for battle. Personal favorites on the list include:
labour - Paris Paloma
Fuck You - Lily Allen
All of American Idiot, a lot of 21st Century Breakdown, and some of Revolution Radio - Green Day
Killing in the Name - Rage Against the Machine
Savage Daughter - Ekaterina Shelehova
Little Girl Gone - CHINCHILLA
Dead Men Don't Rape - Delilah Bon
War on Women - Delilah Bon
I Don't Listen to You - Delilah Bon
What it Means to be a Girl - EMELINE
When Will I Be Mine? - Hailey Orion
Women Don't Owe You Shit - ASTON
the AUDACITY - emlyn
Keep Ya Head Up - 2Pac
BATTLEFIELD - SkyDxddy
Wings - ILUKA
...and of course...LOTS of Tay Tay (think: The Man, Mad Woman, I Hate it Here, etc)
If you want to see the full list, because it is AMAZING, my user name on Spotify is 'sarahbear8301'. The list will be easy to find on my profile because it's the only one not completely filled with all variations of Taylor Swift, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Zayn, Hary Styles, and One Direction.
It is heart-warming to see so much support from around the world (check out 'Dear American Sisters' on TikTok), knowing we are not alone. I cried the first time I saw some of them, in the early days when I could not believe this was really happening AGAIN.
The next four years are going to be bad. Hopefully we can make some progress in 2026 to correct this mistake. I am looking forward to his supporters entering the 'find out' portion of FAFO (I am quite amused by the idiots who failed to realize the Affordable Care Act and the derisive 'ObamaCare' coined by Repubs are the same thing), but I am so pissed that the rest of us are stuck here with them, because this lesson is not ours to learn. We already KNOW.
Time to get to work,
Sarah
That's quite a list. And as H. L. Mencken is supposed to have said, "No one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American people." We just proved him right again.
ReplyDeleteIt's very empowering to scream these songs at the top of your lungs as you're driving or walking, or basically doing anything. The list is getting pretty massive, there's a ton of great songs on it.
DeleteI will, of course, be supporting you with Memes, jokes, cartoons & book recommendations - as well as the usual snarky comments about the failures of the MAGAverse.... Hang TIGHT sister!! 2026 is COMING!
ReplyDeleteYes please and thank you to all of that because the next couple years are going to suuuuuuuck. Fingers crossed for 2026. Historically when we have had these drastic shifts, we swing back the other way during midterms. But nothing about this or his supporters are normal, which is my big concern.
DeleteI've been in a bit of a haze about everything myself, only just now emerging from the fog. It will be bad, but I know we can organize and make it through!
ReplyDeleteYeah, it still seems so unreal sometimes. But, I am slightly encouraged that everyone agrees that CEOs of health insurance companies are terrible. So, maybe we can build on that. Eat the rich.
