Steve, you never fail to meet the day's bad news with a head on rebuke of the fascist attempts to destroy our country. This is a beautiful testament to those who stood before you, who fought for freedom and the rights of the people of this great country. From a non-believer all I can say is God bless you! Continue to fight the good fight and we will all stand with you.
Paul Robeson! I remember his version of "John Brown's Body"! Such a voice! Thank you for bringing him back. "The copper bosses killed you." "I never died."
This took my breath away. Thank you, Steve. The lyrics are just what we need to uplift us and move us to more. May Renee’s memory be for a blessing and in her name, greater action.
Steve, I am in awe of your consistent, clear-eyed optimism and hope that protest and resistance will set the boat of the USA upright. I hope so hard that you are right.
We must move to disarm ICE. There is no logical reason for them to be armed. They are not ever shot at and if they were they should stop what they are doing and call the FBI, DEA, ATF or state and local police to take care of it. https://hotbuttons.substack.com/p/disarm-ice?r=3m1bs
Wow, Steve. In addition to being a genius visual artist, you're a wordsmith. And a zillion thanks for your generosity in giving us the outrageous Robeson—standing tall and singing amidst admiring Scottish miners. So moving. Thank and bless you. And subscribe to my Substack.
My deepest thanks to you, Steve, for gifting us with these powerful drawings and chillingly beautiful and masterful performance by the great Paul Robeson.
Stellar!!!
Here's the final line of a Facebook post I made earlier.
Remember "I am Spartacus?" As far as I'm concerned, as of yesterday, everyone who still believes in the promise of America is now Renee Good.
Yep. This life must be held in memory and activism!
(edit final "need" to "Never)
Absolutely beautiful version you created of that song. And so moving!
Thank you Julie.

Very grateful Craig. Never forget!
Beautifully done. And the Paul Robeson rendition just capped it off for me. Thank you, Steve. I needed that.
Glad you liked. She is still here!

Thanks Steve!
"... what they forgot to kill ... went on to organize .."
Onward!!
I can already hear Pete Seeger singing the new words!

Thank you Joan!
Perfect. Things changed this week.

Thanks. This is up to us now. Let's roll.
Another heartbreaking moment for our once-great country. So sad.
