Hold fast to dreams
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

âUncle Johnâs Bandâ blew me away the first time I heard it and that time it wasnât even being sung by the Grateful Dead. It was just a local girl singing for her supper at the Morningstar Inn, a little vegetarian restaurant in Atlanta in the early 1970s.

âInformed by the attorney that Khalil, who graduated last December, was in the United States as a permanent resident with a green card, the agent said they were revoking that too . . . An immigration court can revoke a green card but government departments do not have that power.â

âMr. Duffy said the young staff of Mr. Muskâs team was trying to lay off air traffic controllers. . . . At another point, Mr. Musk insisted that people hired under diversity, equity and inclusion programs were working in control towers. Mr. Duffy pushed back and Mr. Musk did not add details . . .âđ¤đ¤Ż

You are a Goliath, but Mr. President, there are Davids among us. Your incivility can no longer be tolerated. It has to be met with righteous indignation and righteous incivility.â

Wear black. Millions of Americans are grieving the death of our democracy. Treat this joint session like the funeral of Lady Liberty and pray that she will rise like Lazarus.

Or Marian Andersonâs glorious rendition of âMy Country, 'Tis of Theeâ projected onto the front wall of the chamber, followed by Dems singing the third verse: âNo more shall tyrants here with haughty steps appear . . .â

Or even better, sing the last verse of âLift every voice and sing,â beginning with âGod of our weary years, God of our silent tearsâ and ending with âTrue to our native land.â

All Dems should stand together just as he reaches the podium and sing the first verse of âAmerica the Beautiful,â ending with âAnd crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea!â

And it will soon get worse. Abigail Spanberger was on Maddow this week and quoted very scary statistics from a new UVA study, saying âa 10% cut in Virginiaâs federal workforce is about 39,000 people and it is 6 billion dollars in lost economic output in our state.â

His haunting words for our town:
âThe lynching of John Henry James will be far more damaging to the community than it will be to the alleged criminal. His troubles are oâer; those of the community have just begun.â

They are heroes defending their families and friends from cowardly bullies: âThe agitators wore body armor, carried AR-15 rifles and waved swastika flags. They arrived as children were being let out from class at Lincoln Heights Elementary School and marched just blocks away.â
