Each Friday I pick a song–new, old, borrowed, blue–that’s been on my mind and in my ears, and write a short post about it.

This is “Bowling Green” by The Kossoy Sisters:

The President of the United States and his cronies only call things “terrorism” if they’re done by brown people with muslimy names.  They don’t count what happened in Oklahoma City, or Quebec City, or Charleston, or Birstall, and so on, terrorism, because white people did it, and in some of those cases, white people weren’t the targets, victims, or community the terrorist intended to terrorize.  The President of the United States and his cronies are at best blind, at worse hypocrites, and at worst white supremacists who ignore and deny the suffering of people who don’t look or live like them, except when they celebrate it.

“Bowling Green” is an excellent song, performed here excellently by the Kossoy Sisters, who are wonderful.

Kellyanne Conway is a duplicitous liar.
