"The Church of the Free Around Here"; words, music, voice, and guitar accompanyment by yours truly. Key of A, for "authoritarian".

@gtconway3d Right. Sign up and recruit friends and family for a chance to win cash prizes.

@gtconway3d Me, the morning after: Trump won.
78yo housemate/landlord: I'm sorry?
Me: Trump won!
78: Oh. I don't believe it.
Me: You don't believe it?
78: Well, he's no longer alive. That's a photogram of Trump.
Me:
78: A hologram. Would you get the shirt on?!

@SucksPuppet @TallbarFIN Here's a machine translation of your tweet: Erittäin mukava. Kuinka vaikeaa kielen oppiminen on?

@piper4missouri I'm a middle-aged White man with a southern accent. But I think that works well for my music.

@BarbMcQuade Yes. Here's how I made most of the points in your thread in song: https://t.co/fRarmdgxDp

As the flame flickers at Justice, if Smith does not seize this moment and act now, the world will forget that he ever stood here, poised as a champion of justice and the rule of law.

Smith’s legacy will dissolve into whispers and fade into the shadows of authoritarianism. Jack Smith needs to step forward with all of the evidence he has at hand, or be forever swallowed by the silence of all who failed to rise.

@OhNoSheTwitnt The different standard for female candidates shows in the different way they're referred to in the same tweet.

@BurnettCynthia @OurShallowState Turning away and desire for revenge aren't mutually exclusive. But bad public policy carries its own revenge, and the consolation prize of vindication for those who tried to help prevent it.

@ganesan_bhagee I think fluoride toothpaste and previously approved vaccines will still be available. But when it comes to public policy, the country as a whole seems to want to FAFO. That could chill vaccine research, including for cancer.

[Lindsay Beyerstein @beyerstein]

It all comes down to the information environment. Inflation is down, growth is up, border interceptions are down, crime is down, vaccines work great--and none of it matters. Trump created a conspiracist permission structure to ignore or deny all the facts and focus on hate.

[Mary L Trump @MaryLTrump]

I am so deeply sorry. I thought better of us.

[Paul Krugman @paulkrugman]

Don’t ask whose fault this was. Plenty of time for second-guessing and recriminations. Ask instead, what can you do? For my part, that means telling the truth as I see it, as long as I can. The media will be under a lot of pressure to toe the line; don’t capitulate in advance

@gtconway3d It's not often that a favorite debate line is memorialized with a choice of walk-out tunes.

@StephenSauer18 @AshleyGWinter If your child's life depended on whether you gave up a third of your liver, how would you feel if that were not a choice for you to make with the advice of the doctors involved?

@SkylerforNY Anxiety.

@PopBase He must have been envisioning lovely split-screen kumbaya moments in the clips.

[Edwin R. Hutson @eddie_bluey]

I keep imagining a MAGA version of "We Shall Not Be Moved", with clapping on 1 & 3:"...Follow Orange Jesus...He hates the people we do...Loyalty for favor...When they win, they're cheating...It's just his sense of humor...Silence for a favor..."

@AshleyGWinter I'm pro-choice.

[Edwin R. Hutson @eddie_bluey]

@KamalaHQ I'd rather have a Ronald Reagan bullet glass.

[Edwin R. Hutson @eddie_bluey]

@Megawatts55 @octopower26 I think I know a few reasons.
