1. "This is a show tune

for which the show hasn't been written yet."

Inimitable.

[Fiendish Thingy]

2. Folks should pay particular attention to the lyrics "Go slow/too slow!"

Remember them The next time a performative centrist insists we must use “pragmatic incrementalism” to restore rights and repair the damage of the Trump era.

We must elect a house/senate and president in 2028 who will govern fearlessly, unhesitatingly, and move quickly to expand the court and kill the filibuster to do so.

3. Are you prepared to give up everything

She was black listed and was an ex pat for many years. Her Young Gifted and Black is an anthem.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Huh?

I’m just talking about how those who advise to “Go slow” are on the wrong side of history.
