I have listed a few to remind people of where we have come from:
High Calypso - John Denver
Mandela Day - Simple Minds

Elon Musk claims that the attack came from Ukraine without providing any evidence. The Darkstorm team is an Arab hacker team. I believe that Elon Musk's repeated support for the far right, racism, and attacks on LGBTQ people are the reasons why X was cyber-attacked!

The Trump administration reeked of corruption, cruelty, and impunity. Abusers welcomed, power sold to the highest bidder. Now, Tate’s rape victims accuse him and plead for justice, while US officials interfere to protect him. Rot spreads when a government shields misogynists and silences the abused.

Resistance cannot be performative. Trump’s resurgence reveals the futility of symbolic opposition. Protest without power-building is spectacle. Democrats must abandon reactive gestures and construct durable, grassroots networks—or surrender governance to authoritarian drift.
