#Banger Rally Challenge

[justinspoliticalcorner]

Joan McCarter at Daily Kos:

The conservative Supreme Court has gone rogue. It has “cemented its place in history as the most radical Supreme Court ever,” in the words of historian Kevin Kruse. It handcuffed all federal regulatory agencies last week, and elevated the president to king on Monday. They’ve done so on behalf of the American oligarchs who have bankrolled the lavish lifestyle of at least two of the justices. They have also done so on behalf of twice-impeached convicted felon Donald Trump. If there is any hope of salvaging our republic out of this mess, President Joe Biden and Democrats have to fight back, immediately, in the campaign and in action. That means setting aside the trust institutionalists like Biden and Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin have in the system and in the basic decency of people like Chief Justice John Roberts. It means directly taking on the corrupt court and making the case to the American people that it has to be stopped. Biden made a start Monday evening, giving a short prime-time address to the nation to point out the “dangerous precedent” of placing “virtually no limits on what a president can do.”

“This decision,” Biden said, “has continued the court’s attack in recent years on a wide range of long-established legal principles in our nation, from gutting voting rights and civil rights to taking away a woman’s right to choose to today’s decision that undermines the rule of law of this nation.” In perhaps the most chilling words a president has uttered since the Civil War, Biden starkly defined where we’re at as a nation.  “[I]t will depend on the character of the men and women who hold that presidency that are going to define the limits of the power of the presidency,” he said, “because the law will no longer do it.” 

[...] There are plenty of good ideas for reshaping the court from expanding it to imposing term limits to create a stable of justices that rotate in and out of the court. The solutions are there—Democrats need to embrace them. And run on them. That can start with rallying around Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s impeachment resolution against the justices who perpetrated this “assault on American democracy.” No, it won’t move forward in a Republican-controlled House, but it can help unite Democrats for an immediate course of action should they regain the House.

House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries echoed that, saying Democrats plan to “engage in aggressive oversight and legislative activity” to determine that “extreme, far-right justices in the [Supreme Court] majority are brought into compliance with the Constitution.” The Senate has to take the lead in the coming months, and it has to come from Durbin, who failed in his first task of responding to the devastating ruling. He complained over spilled milk, that Thomas and Alito “brazenly refused to recuse themselves from this case.” He scolded Roberts for not using “his existing authority to enact an enforceable code of conduct.” It’s a lot too late for that. Durbin and his colleagues need to get on the same page as House Democrats, because they actually are in an oversight position and need to start using it. No, they can’t fix the Supreme Court now, but they can start building the case for it. 

Joan McCarter of Daily Kos has a solid banger of a piece on why Democrats must run a campaign against the ethics-challenged MAGA Majority on SCOTUS.

In a critical juncture for our software development team, a client project encountered unforeseen technical challenges that imperiled the project timeline. Stepping into a leadership role, I swiftly called for a team meeting to assess the situation. It became apparent that a crucial component was malfunctioning, posing a serious threat to project success.

Rather than assigning blame, I fostered open communication to understand the root causes. Collaboratively, we devised a plan to address the issues methodically. Tasks were reassigned based on individual strengths, and a clear roadmap was established to tackle the technical hurdles.

Maintaining a positive and supportive environment, I emphasized collective responsibility and the significance of our shared objectives. Regular check-ins were implemented to track progress, offer guidance, and promptly address emerging challenges. This approach aimed not only to overcome the immediate obstacles but also to strengthen team cohesion.

The team rallied together, leveraging their expertise to overcome technical hurdles. With resilience and collaborative effort, we not only salvaged the project but also exceeded client expectations. This experience showcased the effectiveness of stepping up as a leader during challenging times, fostering a sense of unity and accomplishment within the team.

Hey, i've checked out that album by M.I.A. you mentioned. Do you want to elaborate on why you like it? Just curious from a musical standpoint

Oh yes, yes I do.

First and foremost, I think the entire album is an exploration of sound: from the feverish, whomping drums to the wailing sirens to power tools whirring. The lyrics are frequently distorted or overpowered to the point they become nearly indecipherable (as if being "silenced") while simultaneously relying so much on phonetics that voice and language becomes only noise. Her vocal performance directly reflects this same dichotomy between low, distorted hammering and high, sharp, metallic/nasal in a way that is nothing short of masterful.

Thematically and sonically, she builds on (and I think perfects) what she was doing on both Arular and Kala, managing to finally bring together the facets of herself into something that's cohesive (if at times overwhelming). The album is feverish, it's angry, but not without moments of tenderness and realization. I think you also get a sense of how tired and how frustrated with the state of the world she is. And probably how she's been portrayed. This was 2010, after all. In this regard, the album feels extremely personal, but the journey itself is universal: while not each of us understands what it means to be a political refugee, we all know what it's like to be frustrated, to be mad, to be tired of injustice and tyranny. And to an extent, the album is a rallying cry. But it also teaches us to find and hold what peace we can in a world that is fucked. Very punk rock, I think, but the album pushes beyond genre.

I also took the liberty of breaking the album down into sections that I think touch on the message of the album as a whole.

Let's go through it:

The Introduction

THE MESSAGE

STEPPIN UP

As with any good introduction, these set the scene: THE MESSAGE reminds us that we live in a society, basically. And that we are not immune to propaganda. It introduces the... well, the message and the message is: we're going to talk about shit, so strap in. STEPPIN UP introduces the artist herself. Both are noisy, loud, abrasive, foreboding. The first time I ever heard STEPPIN UP I was taken aback, shocked, confused: I'd never heard anything like it and I was put off. I think that's the correct response, especially for a first listen. This album is meant to challenge.

Feverish Club Bangers

XXXO

TEQKILLA

"Okay, this sounds like music again. I can get into this." But something's not quite right, is it? The lights are too bright, the music is too loud. And what is that weird noise? Why do I feel like I might throw up? Am I in danger? Yes. Yes, you are. Things are not as they seem.

Your Life is Lie

LOVALOT

STORY TO BE TOLD

Sorry, were you getting comfortable in your delusion? Too bad. Let me introduce you to Western Imperialism & Other Concepts. It's time you actually think about what you've been spoon fed for years. It's time for some perspective and it's time to take some responsibility. Mad? Good. Me too.

Try Not to Get Too Caught Up, Tho lol

IT TAKES A MUSCLE

IT IZ WHAT IT IZ

The world's fucked, but there are also some good things. Small as they may be, cherish them. Shit is heavy and it's easy to get weighed down, easy to get depressed, to want to give up, give in. You could do that or you could...

Get Pissed, Get Even

BORN FREE

MEDS AND FEDS

On second thought, fuck them. "I was BOOOOOORN FREE!" And I'm tired of being lied to and getting fucked over. I'm tired of all this fake shit meant to separate and divide us. I'm tired, I'm mad, I'm fed up and ready to fuck shit up because "I just give a damn" about people. PEOPLE > NATIONS/BORDERS.

Realizations Have Been Had, I Need A Minute

TELL ME WHY

SPACE

Now you're painfully aware of things, but no one else seems to be. You understand it's because they haven't been shown, but you also have to face the fact that you can lead a horse to water, but they'd rather stay crusty. It's annoying, I know. Take a second to collect yourself.

"Not This Bitch Again"

INTERNET CONNECTION

ILLYGIRL

You won't shut up about what you've learned and you've now been formally designated A Menace™. Ignorance would have been the easier choice, but it's too late for that.

A Menace in Isolation

BELIEVER

CAPS LOCK

More bad news: turns out there are few things as isolating as knowing the truth. No one wants to hear it, everyone thinks you're too mad, you're too "political." People don't like being notified when they're being racist or xenophobic, no matter how nicely you try to say it. Change is hard and no one wants to put in the effort. Good luck, though. Bye.

I will emphasize that I don't always agree with MIA (the person), but she certainly captured the message and the journey on this one. As I said, she's telling her story, but I think it's something many can relate to: the anger, the frustration, the hope and isolation of knowledge. And the pervasiveness of injustice.

[castrateurfate]

met her twice before i was even old enough to not piss the bed so i have some vague memories of her.

but learning about her in retrospect has really motivated me and made me learn more about myself.

ahe was born into a jewish family (she is the matrilinical ancestor that makes me a jew) and would later in life join the war effort by working in MI6, designing weapons that were used against the nazis.

after the bombing of nagasaki and hiroshima, she left that line of work and become an anti-war activist.

her next major project was opening a house for boys at boarding schools who's parents were out of the country during the school holidays. there she cared for many young boys one of whom was future pink floyd drummer, nick mason. through-out nick's early life, he would routinely live at my great grandmother's home for boys when he had no other place to say.

one day, he came to my great-grandmother with a bit of a dilemma. it was the mid-sixties and the original line-up of pink floyd had been offered a record deal but he didn't know whether he should go with the band on the record deal or stick with hus current big thing, his architectural degree.

and so my great-gran just gave him a basic "do what you feel is right" response, he went with pink floyd on the record deal and then the band become one of the greatest and best-selling bands of all time. my great gran, as a thank you from nick, would receive copies of each pink floyd album, all signed, as a thank you. those records are somewhere in my uncle's loft but i'll get my hands on them someday.

in the 70s and 80s, she was a major activist in the "Ban The Bomb" nuclear disarmement movement. organising many rallies as well as other activist causes. her knowledge on the war machine helped her with the challenges.

before her death, she settled down in sommerset and wrote a book about the history of the village i currently reside in now. that same book has been incredibly useful for geneologists and royal historians as its the most comprehensive book on my village possibly ever written.

she sadly passed in her early 90s and over the years, i have heard many stories about her.

the two that stick with me were the one where she got surgery done on her leg to remove a wound that became toxic, without any pain killers.

another one is that she might've been involved in banger racing (basically what nascar was before nascar but on a lower budget) but i can't remember if it was her, her daughter (my grandmother) or both but still, interesting.

so whilst i didn't really know her when she was alive, i feel like i onow her better now with all the stories i have heard.

Raffi, the King of Children’s Music, Takes on Trump

Raffi. Photo: @Raffi_RC/Twitter The subgenre of “children’s music” can be pretty barren lyrically, a wasteland of dada earworms, nonsense lullabies, nursery rhymes, and edutainment. It is not generally considered fertile ground for discussing political and social issues. But a quick journey into Spotify proves that these songs have the power to inform a fledgling’s belief system. There’s Christian kids’ music (“Jonah was a Prophet” honestly slaps … and I’m Jewish). Sweet Honey in the Rock is a black gospel a capella group that is popular among the 10-and-under set. Their arrangement of “This Train Is Bound for Glory,” a spiritual once made famous by Sister Rosetta Tharpe, makes me tear up. It’s also not typical children’s music. There have been some notable indie efforts but they are overshadowed by unrelenting trash heaps like last year’s viral sensation, “Baby Shark.” And, eureka! In a league onto himself, is Raffi. If you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, have children, or have ever been to a kid’s birthday party, then you’ve probably heard the Canadian crooner’s timeless bangers “Baby Beluga” and “Banana Phone.” Raffi’s saccharine melodies and lyrics actually read like discrete guides on how to live and love with dignity, starting at childhood. With an adult’s ear, the chorus of Raffi’s biggest hit — “Baby beluga in the deep blue sea / Swim so wild and you swim so free” — appears to be about learning how to individuate while still feeling safe and held by your caretakers. It’s a valuable message, even for adults. The last line of “Everything Grows,” an ode to the universality of the life cycle, is, “Mamas do and papas too / everything grows.” It’s a subtle reminder to parents that while we may be done with the physical part of our growth, emotional growth is a lifelong journey. But learning to live with dignity means learning about what it’s like to live without it and the nefarious forces that try to take it away. “Apathy is the enemy of democracy. And through apathy, tyrants can gain power,” Raffi said to me about why he’s been so vocal about Trump in a recent interview. But if you look closely, these messages have been in his music forever. “And I need some clean water for drinking / And I need some clean air for breathing / So that I can grow up strong,” he wrote in his 1979 hit “All I Really Need.” The lyrics resonate like an anthem for basic human rights, rights that are still unfortunately being fought for 40 years later. Like many of his songs, it is a blueprint for human kindness in its most pure, essential form. In recent months, the 70-year-old singer has gained a bit of attention for his active, politically engaged Twitter feed where many posts are accompanied with the dissenter’s slogan du jour: #Resist and #ResistFacism. Raffi’s outspokenness around Trump and his policies goes back to when he was elected. Just last week the singer called Trump unfit for office, racist, and misogynistic. In December he said we must “fight fascism with everything we’ve got.” Seemingly trite, the addition of Raffi’s voice to the American political landscape is actually invaluable — the singer-songwriter is the premier emissary for children and his positions carry with them an incredible weight. And the children, after all, are the future. Recently I spoke to him about the nexus between children’s music, politics, and human decency. Raffi is not quiet about his opinions. But, he rejects the label “political” being affixed either to his personal outspokenness or music, though he has songs that tackle issues like climate change, peace between Israelis and Palestinians , and most recently, his love of Bernie Sanders. (By the way, Bernie, if you’re reading this Raffi “wishes you well” this time around and said it’d be “interesting” if you asked him to sing his song “Wave of Democracy” at your upcoming rallies). Raffi entertains some children after a Los Angeles concert, September 10, 1989. Photo: Paul Harris/Getty Images He seems to view being political as artificial, an act of external performance: He’s as taken aback by the idea that he is political as he would be if I’d called him a politician. “Maybe just like the troubadour that I am, I seek creative ways of self-expression,” he told me. “I seek the right [to] expound about who I am the way that I feel that I am,” he said when pressed about his unwillingness to be labeled political. “It’s not a big deal to me. I don’t go around having debates in my head as to whether I’m political or not. I just have a way of speaking, I just have a way of presenting what I’m passionate about. That’s what I do” he said. But a few moments later he spoke about treating climate change as an emergency, saying, “Unless a rapid shift to a low-carbon economy happens like yesterday, you’re gonna face a very, very tough world.” It’s easy to dismiss the way Raffi couches his activism as a cop-out, as a way to insulate himself from accountability. But the singer doesn’t hide his beliefs; they’re always there in his music and on his social media profiles for everyone to see. Admittedly, I always thought identifying as “not political” seemed like a privilege. But there is something I’m finding in Raffi’s fine print: You can hold a unique space in the political landscape when you insist that your political positions aren’t political at all, but borne out of self-evident, universal values. Raffi has a way of both challenging an idea while simultaneously distilling it, as he does when we talk about climate change. “I detest the term ‘the environment,’ I think it’s barren and cold. I never use it. Never,” he said. “It’s different if you say, ‘our environment,’ perhaps. There can be many environments that you live in. There’s a learning environment, there’s a family environment and all of that. Mother Nature, or simply Nature, is that planetary community that we live in. It’s the basis of our lives. It’s what feeds us. We come from the womb and suddenly we’re in a womb with a view. Mother Nature.” On Twitter, he took a more political approach when he predicted World War III would be “climate change: humanity’s war on itself.” Raffi Cavoukian is an immigrant two times over. Born to Armenian parents who had escaped the genocide, the singer, 70, spent his first ten years in Egypt. At ten, his father moved their family to Toronto. Of immigrating to a new country he said, “You learn to forgive. You learn to be strong in your identity. And even while you’re learning a whole new culture; so quite the transition.” In early March Raffi tweeted, “blame the inciter in chief…how’s that for false patriotism,” in response to an article posted by Chelsea Clinton with the headline, “Counties that hosted a 2016 Trump rally saw a 226 percent increase in hate crimes.” With me he took his big-stick approach. “Children are people,” he said about child separation. “The reason we don’t want corporeal punishment, let alone separation from their families, is that you don’t hit people. It’s not okay to hit people. Children are people, so we don’t hit them. By the same token, you know, if you respect children as people, you don’t separate them from your families.” It’s a simple statement, a seemingly unremarkable one. But if you were to put Raffi’s words to a tune, it’d be a heartfelt children’s song, there to teach us how to treat each other. And it reveals more yet about Raffi’s belief that children should be considered as whole and serious human beings.

Raffi’s attempt to have it both ways — be political, yet be thought of as apolitical — is working for him. The singer, whose first album came out in 1975, says he has no plans to retire. He will continue to tour with his children’s music but is also focused on his foundation, the Raffi Foundation, which promotes a group of principles he came up with about how to advance children’s rights, called “Child Honouring.” “It’s one thing to be loved but it’s another thing entirely to feel respected for who you feel you are, and that is why the first word of the nine principles of Child Honouring is respectful so that principle — respectful love — that’s why that word is there,” he said. “It can’t be any kind of love. Sure, the Beatles sang ‘All You Need Is Love,’ but it can’t be a coercive love, it can’t be an overbearing love.” At the end of our conversation I ask him what words he has to impart to youth living under Trump’s policies. Unsurprisingly, he brings it back to the spirit of his music. “Well it’s advice I’ve given many times in songs,” he said. “I suppose I can say, love is the greatest power you hold. Come to know that power, don’t let anyone take it away from you, hatred is not who human beings are, it’s not who we are. It’s an aberration; power of human spirit is a loving, caring spirit. That’s what it means to be human, so anybody’s task is to grow strong and to be rooted in that human capacity to love.” When you’re fighting your way through the sludgiest sociopolitical turmoil of your lifetime, it can be hard to remember your values, or even what you’re fighting for. Raffi reminded me, over and over again, that care for the earth, for democracy, for human decency is pretty much paramount if we want to even have a future. I guess sometimes you need a children’s singer to remind you what’s important.
