"Life During Wartime" by Talking Heads

I logged into my old (before I transitioned) Facebook profile earlier tonight to update the cover and profile photos, so they are the same as my real Facebook profile.  I came across a meme posted by a dear (female) friend that I worked with for years.  It was heartbreaking to see such a nasty pro-Trump, anti-transgender thing being shared by an old friend!

I saw this awesome video this morning and Michelle Obama really sums up how I feel.  Do we really want someone that brags about sexually assaulting women to be the leader of our country?

And it made me think about Mike Lee and how he was one of two senators that voted against the Violence Against Women Act (also see Utahans Against Mike Lee 2016).

We need to send Mike Lee back home and get someone that supports women to represent us!  We need somebody that supports equal rights. 

Before Mike Lee was elected to the Senate he was making $700,000 a year!  He has no clue what it is like for normal people.  We need somebody that knows what it is like for working class people, living paycheck to paycheck.  We need Misty K. Snow!!!

I heard this song on 103.1 The Wave earlier and remembered what a great song this is.  Definitely one of my favorite Talking Heads songs.
And kind of appropriate for this period of time!
