	9:08pm Mister Dobalina: This is a nice tune, I like.
	9:08pm spodiodi: haha yes, xtrakrispy!
	9:09pm Destroit: Oh wow totally forgot about this Fugazi song. Have not heard it for 25 yrs, but all coming back to me
	9:10pm swivs: Pretty sure the F in WFMU stands for Fugazi.
	9:10pm JakeGould: A lot of Bratmobile tracks that would be appropriate, but for the FCC it seems.

	9:16pm Therese: I saw L7 a few years back and those ladies BROUGHT IT.
	9:17pm Ken From Hyde Park: Pretty sure the F in WFMU stands for Females.

	9:18pm dano59: Take-no-prisoners r’n’r!
	9:19pm TDK60: Hello.
	9:20pm Mister Dobalina: Don't think I've ever heard Bad Religion on FMU.
	9:21pm Handy Haversack: This show is perfect. Bad Religion!
	9:21pm TDK60: Oh, like the theme. Was at two protests last night.
	9:22pm spodiodi: developing a repetitive stress injury in clicker thumb (heck yeah, Handy!)
	9:23pm dano59: Hit a bookstore in Chicago big on zines last weekend, came home with little booklets of quotations by Frida Kahoolawe, Bjerknes, Nina Simone & Kathleen Hannah. and a few political & music zines. Almost as if I knew something was up (of course I did). Quimby’s rules! Visit the one in NYC
	9:24pm ?: And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next
	9:24pm dano59: Uh, Khalo, Bjork. Autocorrect is flaky
	9:25pm taryninstereo: Obviously appreciating the theme!
	9:26pm KC: I want to read this book!
	9:26pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Oh, Therese, you are wonderful.
	9:31pm Harry Corvair: Holy shit, Terese. Holy. Shit. Thank you, sister. <3
	9:32pm Robm: @therese WHAT THE FUCK is all i have to say
	9:32pm DanFA: Bad Religion are jerks? Were there some revelations about them?
	9:32pm spodiodi: i wanna know too... :O
	9:33pm sandy: oooh snap are Bad Religion dingus’s or something? Heh
	9:33pm DanFA: Because....something something Jesus
	9:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good resources here: www.vote.org
	9:33pm TDK60: DanFA: I think our DJ was referring to the title of the song.
	9:33pm KC: I think Therese was referring to the organization called "operation rescue", but I could be wrong
	9:34pm spodiodi: aha! thank you
	9:34pm Bootsie: Seriously. I marched for this shit back in the '80s!
	9:34pm spodiodi: whew
	9:35pm DanFA: Oh, ok. Thank you for clarification. I thought you were talking about the band.
	9:35pm Robm: Wonder what trouble will say about the Supreme Court tomorrow
	9:35pm sandy: Ah I see, I had misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying!
	9:38pm patrick321: Hey Therese and all
	9:39pm Pauly from Clifton: From Jessica Winter in the New Yorker, "When Roe was decided, a married woman in the United States needed her husband’s permission to get a credit card, something that did not change until 1974. No state outlawed marital rape until 1975. No man was found liable for sexual harassment until 1977. Pregnancy was a fireable offense until 1978. Alito does not itemize forms of gender-based subjugation that persisted after Roe, many of which might be persuasively argued as “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.” Alito's argument is a slippery slope. Where the fuck do I live?
	9:39pm mariano: De-lurking to say RIGHT ON, THERESE!
	9:39pm Barney Grubbs: I talked to Greg Graffin from Bad Religion at a little punk rock show at cornell in the mid-90s when we were both grad students—he seemed like an all right guy for a zoologist
	9:40pm dano59: People gotta stand and fight & March and shout & Scream and scream And scream And keep showing up until Something is done to fix This sh— And if that fails, burn it all down
	9:40pm patrick321: Listening to your break there I was thinking that "bodily autonomy" is a pretty good clincher. Choosing what happens inside your own body seems like a basic assumption that should apply to any free individual person.
	9:40pm TDK60: My take: Yes, vote, write legislators. But pressure on the streets is needed. Nothing gets change without turmoil.
	9:41pm Therese: Hey Mariano! How's your JazzFest?
	9:42pm Therese: @Pauly from Clifton: My grandmother wanted to buy a condo at the Jersey Shore. She was going to pay in cash. The realtor wouldn't proceed without an okay from her husband. This was in the late 1980s.
	9:44pm Robm: @Therese I hope your grandma got the condo
	9:45pm Minnesota Jim: Ooh, rolling right into the next Janelle Monae song from the album. So smooth.
	9:45pm Therese: @Robm: oh, she did. And that realtor thought twice about asking the next woman who came in if her husband (or worse, FATHER) okayed the purchase.
	9:46pm Therese: @Minnesota Jim: that's what you call a happy accident.
	9:46pm Robm: @therese or the realtor got their ass fired
	9:47pm mariano: Hey, Therese (and all of yous)! Too busy with work for JazzFest, sadly, though I did catch Ween last Friday, three-hour show. It's starting to get hot but it's still that lovely time of the year when it's magical outside and the air is full of jasmine and orange blossom.
	9:47pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: For some reason I keep remembering you playing "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" right after the Kavanaugh hearings and feeling convinced that this was your tribute to Christine Blasey Ford (which of course I could be deeply wrong about), and thinking about how that moment led to what we're witnessing now. In any case, thank you for your show.
	9:47pm Pauly from Clifton: @Therese, W O W. The late 80s? Glad she got it nonetheless...PERSIST!
	9:48pm Gurldoggie: Has anyone read Janelle Monad’s book of stories? I haven’t yet, but I’m very curious.
	9:49pm Therese: @Gurldoggie: her book is very high on my To Be Read list.
	9:49pm taryninstereo: It’s none of your business!
	9:49pm Robm: Love salt n oepa
	9:49pm Gurldoggie: WFMU book club?
	9:50pm Therese: @Gurldoggie: I am here for that!
	9:50pm KC: I love a WFMU book club idea
	9:50pm Robm: I meant pepa
	9:50pm Gurldoggie: I’m in!
	9:52pm Alex of Chicago: Really appreciating the show tonight.
	9:53pm Harry Corvair: “Let everybody know… “Fear of a female planet…” Yes.
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: Sweet Jabber, how I love Salt N Pepe. Gurldoggie, Therese, if you see listener Yeti Bob, check out his profile, which links to a list of listener-recommended books from Trouble's board.
	9:54pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: @Harry are you a green bean?
	9:54pm DanFA: @Gurldoggie - I second that too, book club
	9:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nivarna rules!
	9:55pm Handy Haversack: I mean, come on! What Ken said!
	9:56pm KC: I just put "The Memory Librarian" on hold from my local library so I can start reading it when it comes in.
	9:56pm Matt Fiveash: Yr burning it up Therese! Thanks
	9:56pm DanFA: @KFHP i.pinimg.com...
	9:57pm Therese: Hiya, Fiveash! You help stoke my rage earlier, and for that, I thank you!
	9:57pm DanFA: This is the best Nirvana album.
	9:59pm Stevel: Preach.
	10:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Great picture, DanFA. WFMU - Book appreciation Them - Book burning
	10:02pm B R M: I am finding tonight's show incredibly comforting and cathartic. Thank you @therese ... standing with you always.
	10:03pm dano59: Or an actual child. George Carlin nailed that decades ago
	10:04pm Gurldoggie: Tell it Therese! We’re right with you!
	10:05pm DanFA: @KFPH it is a truly iconic photo.
	10:05pm shlomy: abortionfunds.org www.plancpills.org
	10:06pm DanFA: No
	10:06pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:06pm TDK60: The Repugnants know that 70% of the populace is against them. Hence their anti-democratic moves of late.
	10:06pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Go Therese go!!!
	10:07pm Matt Fiveash: Tell em buddy
	10:07pm Robm: @Therese preach it
	10:07pm timinoak: It's good to hear your take, Therese.
	10:08pm dano59: All outrage anger and fires in bellies are fully justified.
	10:09pm Odomfax: !! Righteous anger !!
	10:09pm Harry Corvair: @bob This green bean? Unsafe at any speed. ;-)
	10:10pm dano59: The abortion bans are also integral to the GOP power-grab strategy. Theocracy is A-OK as long as they stay in power.
	10:11pm Meghan: Go Therese! Say it how it is!!
	10:19pm Matt Fiveash: Wow. Have not heard this MF Dolly cover before. Astonishing.
	10:20pm Therese: Oh, man. Marianne Faithfull rules.
	10:23pm ?: Therese. Rules !!
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The wealthy & the powerful will always have access to as much abortion as they will ever want. & - they will use it. & - we all know it. So this isn't a Moral issue whatsoever. Facts don't support that. Facts like all the many conditions for which abortion is the only way of saving the mother's life. & so many more. You know them. Obviously this is the Politics of Emotion - especially approaching a crucial Midterm Election. My hope there is they gigantically miscalculated ! & have wildly energized & unified their opposition. It is propaganda in the Culture Wars. It is War against the Poor & against Women. Not unrelate to all of these : It is desperate War against Democracy itself - because the Majority is demonstrably & unequivocally & overwhelmingly in favor of Reproductive Rights. It's not close to being close. Don't be deceived about that.
	10:24pm Rachel Bo Bachel: That Marianne Faithful tune brought the tears. Thank you Therese. First time hearing your show ❤️
	10:26pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Revolution rabbit you said it!
	10:28pm Robm: @Rachel hope you listened to therese on her talks she was on fire
	10:28pm Stevel: RRN63: Well said.
	10:30pm dano59: RR63: but the right is going all-in to rally their anti-abortion base (because “pro-life” is an ugly off-base oxymoron for those beliefs… we quit using it at my newspaper)
	10:31pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Robm! Yes I understand how she feels 100%. We can’t be complacent re: separation of church and state. And I say that as a religious Jew and proud American! Go Therese!!!
	10:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Has been observed that it is easier for the RightWing to just fly the flag of some outrageous ideology - & get its followers in single file to the Polls. But being Liberal means literally to tolerate wider views. So tho we are a clear & significant Majority - it's harder to get us to the Polls & marking the same box. That's up to us.
	10:33pm Robm: @Rachel so do i, could feel the rage
	10:34pm dano59: Absolutely, Rev. mobilization & motivation needed to fight fire with fire
	10:35pm TDK60: Revrab, I'm not liberal. Rather, radical.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not using the term 'ProLife' is important I think - because it is a propaganda war. This is what the Gingrich-Rove was all about: killing off bipartisan civility & actually helping the nation whatsoever - & instead villifying the other other Party in the Press &tc. - whatever the cost to us all.
	10:35pm tim from washington: Hi Therese and everyone. I love recent Marianne Faithfull. I missed the previous mic break. I’m 49 years old. This past year I’ve really been changing my thoughts about our country and society. I always thought that society moves forward and progresses albeit slowly with many bumps in the road. But with the reactionary turn from the left in regard to the nuances of free speech, the bald faced hypocrisy from the right, the return of war that could ignite nuclear war and now this impending stacked court overturn of Roe I think this is the shittiest I’ve ever seen it. So I’ve been thinking that society doesn’t progress . Now I’ve got to figure out how to sanely live within a retrograde state.
	10:36pm elwyn: You can never play too much Neko Case.
	10:37pm Robm: In pther words trolls stay off the board
	10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @TDK60: It depends entirely on the definitions & what have become the conventions around them. & this is a perfect example of what I'm trying to illustrate with that... What happened @ the DNC in 1968 should be better known & considered by all. The Democratic Party & the Left have long had this rift, in other words...
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Nazis in Germany won actual election - because too many other parties divided the vote...
	10:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & frankly 'Law & Order' Nixon in the USA knew this perfectly well.
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & it's just continued in the half century since.
	10:44pm Faye: HaaaAAaAAayyy Therese!
	10:45pm spodiodi: hear, hear, Rev
	10:46pm Faye: ♥️♥️♥️
	10:51pm spodiodi: available only to the rich
	10:52pm Gurldoggie: The brilliance that is Ishmael Butler.
	10:52pm Roberto: GOP plan: 1. Break country 2. Complain country is broken 3. Get elected/re-elected cuz fear sells 4. Break country moar
	10:54pm Roberto: 5. See 2.
	10:55pm Stevel: Keep voting, especially in local races. Help a campaign if you have the ability, with time or $$.
	10:57pm Roberto: Chickenshite socially anxious like me can join letter-writing campaigns (as I just did). Zero direct human contact needed! And you can pet your kitty while you write.
	11:00pm Tamar: I ❤️ Therese! I needed this!
	11:00pm Stevel: Roberto: Well done! I need to add something to my list.
	11:00pm Therese: Tamar! Hi Tamar!
	11:01pm Matt Fiveash: Love this Raincoats song. A Jones jukebox perennial!
	11:02pm Therese: Goddammit, I miss the Jones!
	11:03pm Jaydot Kaydot: This playlist is soothing my weary soul on this night.
	11:07pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: A list of abortion funds to which you can donate: www.thecut.com...
	11:08pm Harry Corvair: Windup? Yes. Great show. Somber and rocking. Let’s dance, and win.
	11:08pm spodiodi: 🔨 BANNED
	11:08pm Handy Haversack: Shouting out K8 for the concert she put on last Sat. to raise $1500 for National Network of Abortion Funds. She rules! And so did all the bands thereat!
	11:09pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Trust me, DJ All Ukrainians Are Nazis has banned lots of regular commenters for their normal liberal/progressive political opinions and that doesn't ban them from other comments on WFMU.
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: Watch your privates, jerks! It's punching season!
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: Amyl!!!!
	11:10pm spodiodi: new (to me) Amyl and the Sniffers!
	11:11pm ?: I hope that everybody recognizes that seven white old men decided Roe v. Wade. And Obergefell overturned Bowers...undemocratically. Every court decision has a winner and a loser. Stop whining if you turn out for the moment to be a loser.
	11:13pm joe mulligan: winners have the courage to post their names @?
	11:13pm ?: Courage. That's a good one.
	11:14pm ?: More to the point: what's wrong with the argument?
	11:15pm joe mulligan: it takes courage to not hide behind the anonymity of social media. in fact, there's less arguing that way
	11:15pm Paulo AD: Good morning all :) how yall doing?
	11:16pm ?: It takes courage? Really?
	11:16pm Stevel: Great stuff tonight!
	11:16pm Stevel: Fair to partly troll-y.
	11:16pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Oh great, it's the Winter Soldier.
	11:17pm Paulo AD: Oh, seems its all kicking off on here eh!
	11:17pm joe mulligan: yes, you could doxx me and hunt me down cause I use my real name @?. but I try to play nice so you wont do that
	11:17pm ?: You can meet me in my room in my mom's basement if you want to discuss it further.
	11:18pm McGroovey: @? Stop whining, you say? But you're whining right now. I'm puzzled by that paradox.
	11:18pm Stevel: NO apologies!
	11:19pm joe mulligan: that's always how it goes.. so back to the point.. winners and losers are fine but it gets tricky when lots of ppl think those who won are not right.. this is not a sports game we're talking about
	11:19pm Dean: Here I am, Mr. Courageous. Address my point, which is that the Supreme Court has not infrequently overturned its own precedent. When the outcome is to your advantage, you celebrate it. When not, you whine. This strategy won't work for you nor for those of us, including me, who despise the outcome suggested by the leaked opinion.
	11:19pm Roberto: Admit it, this was catchy AF in '97 or whenever.
	11:19pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: I can't even figure out what ?'s point is supposed to be, which is some pretty poor-quality trolling IMHO.
	11:20pm joe mulligan: it's not about a title championship for the season Dean, it's about peoples lives.
	11:20pm Harry Corvair: This song? Yes. If you really bug me Then I’ll say goodbye
	11:21pm Jaydot Kaydot: You don't have to believe it the legitimacy of the court to recognize that it's rulings have material effects on real people's lives.
	11:21pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Wild Flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:22pm joe mulligan: the celebration and "whining" is more of an after-effect. some can't help themselves, and others are better at refraining themselves. if you have the calm to do so, you're good Dean!
	11:22pm Becky: Hi! So proud to broadcast next to you. One of the major inspirations I had for coming to live in NYC was seeing Bikini Kill at CMJ when I was in high school. Thanks for playing them.
	11:23pm Jaydot Kaydot: Or to put it another way....you don't have to believe in the legitimacy of the court to really really really wanna zing-ah-zing-aaaaah
	11:23pm joe mulligan: it's about the gravity of the consequences, like @Jaydot said!
	11:24pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: "Wouldn't it be more fun if this was something you could have opinions on and not something I had to live with?" -- Tsunami, "460"
	11:25pm joe mulligan: if the leak was about changing the color of the US flag to brown purple and yellow, I wouldnt care so much.
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The true overwhelming Majority support Reproductive Rights. So - it's a question of Representative & Democracy. Justices get Appointed by supposed Representatives - but the Republicans in the Senate represent 43 Million fewer of us than the Democrats there. The Republicans blocked Democratic POTUS's nominees - & bumrushed their own. So if your argument is about Fariness & Civility ...No.
	11:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & remember Drumpf - the nominator - lost the popular vote dramatically as well. & then lost another entire Election - & never conceded to this day.
	11:28pm Stevel: "Star Wars was not really feminist." Therese. Noble effort!
	11:28pm Dean: Ike, you're way smarter than that. Of course you can figure out my point. The outcome of this supposed decision is legitimate in one respect: the Court decided it according to its protocols. It very well might not be logically or doctrinally legitimate. It might be a "bad" decision. But guess what? The arbiters of what is a bad decision are the Court (oops, that's a problem) and the legislature. I'm only complaining--okay, whining--about how folks bitch that the Court is "political." That goes without saying. The Court is precisely designed NOT to be democratic. Its purpose is precisely to overturn democratically decided laws and policies. This country is not 100% about "majority rules." The Court's job is to check stupid majoritarian policies and laws.
	11:29pm suzyhotrod: Love the tunes Therese! I hear ya!! Also I got dumped last night and am enjoying the pro femme tunes for a remedy of that! You’re the best!
	11:29pm Paulo AD: Ah no way Suzy. Take this hug from me and hope you feel ok
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean - that would work & be wonderful if they got there legitimately & they weren't lying sacks of sh*t.
	11:30pm Therese: Suzy! Hello, love!
	11:32pm Dean: No, RevRab. It would work if everybody obeyed my every whim.
	11:32pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Much love to ya, Suzy. Also, what kind of idiot... eh, never mind, now I'm going to start thinking about all my failed relationships, or more frequently the ones that barely even got off the ground!
	11:33pm Paulo AD: Ike, you'll be OK dude. I have faith :) I managed to find my soul mate after 35 years
	11:34pm Paulo AD: Suzy and Ike, if it makes you laugh I can show you a picture of me throwing a kid in the sea?
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You say it goes without saying the Court is Political - & then you say, in so many words, that the value of the Court is that it is not - it is merely Legal. It's self-contradictory nonsense trying to disguise itself in verbosity.
	11:37pm Dean: Okay, RevRab. Solve that problem.
	11:37pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Sure @Paulo, I'm always in favor of throwing children into the sea, LOL!
	11:38pm Dean: More to the point, I'll assume you celebrated Obergefell, as I did (mostly). Why was that okay for you? Merely because it coincided with your preferences?
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's not the Legislative Branch. It's not their job to overturn Laws made by the Elected Congress. It's their job to apply them.
	11:39pm Harry Corvair: You’ve got Portland in your ear Good song, this
	11:40pm Dean: See Marbury v. Madison, Rev. That issue was decided long ago. But again, if you believe what you say, then Obergefell was wrong?
	11:40pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Is this the best WFMU episode ever? It might be!
	11:40pm Paulo AD: imgur.com...
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644, is a landmark civil rights case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. ' That is - the Law.
	11:41pm Roberto: We're not pissed off at the Court. We're pissed off at the GOP for stealing at least one and as many as three appointments to the Court.
	11:42pm joe mulligan: cool pic Paulo! nice Vilebrequins
	11:43pm Dean: The GOP "stole" those appointments legitimately, alas. Sucks, doesn't it? Obergefell overturned Bowers v. Hardwick.
	11:44pm Dean: If you don't know the rules, you can't possibly win the game.
	11:47pm Harry Corvair: Moar moar moar Great show , this <3 <3 <3
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe so - but you're accusing us of 'whining' about serial abuses of good will, fairness, honesty, transparency, democratic process & long long civil precedent. If, say - it were the other way around - & Republican candidates had won't the popular vote by millions - but lost the Elections - you reckon there'd be any - 'whining' ? Sir ? Or wouldd the Right be exhibiting perfect chivalry in the face of critical defeat - because 'Rules'...
	11:49pm Aitch: Try to tell this Courtney she can't have an abortion and she'll tell you to get fucked. The USA so weirdly backward on stuff like that.
	11:50pm Scobot: Never knew that Babes in Toyland covered “More More More.”Astonishingly impressive.
	11:50pm Benoni: @Dean. No, it is not the job of the Supreme Court or any Court in the US to "check stupid majoritarian policies." The Court should not act as a super legislature or replace the policy decisions of the states or federal government with policies it prefers. The Sup Ct took away a civil right based on what was an unbroken string of its own decisions. "Precedent on precedent" as one person previously put it. The Sup Ct's breaking of stare decisis without any newly arising justification will weaken the rule of law, and the legitimacy of its own court. If you still think that is a "win" then that's on you.
	11:50pm joe mulligan: sorry to hear about your sitch Suzy Hotrod! don't say it too too loud or else you'll have your fan club comin at ya
	11:51pm joe mulligan: meaning: there's a lot of people to like a lot about you.
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as it is they've stolen two Presidential Administrations from the popular vote - & exhibited the polar opposite of humility or civility @ any opportunity. In fact - oceans & mountains of rhetorical abuse as a basic & fundamental modus operandi. Are we the 'whiners', Sir? Not, say, civility conceding Elections we've lost? Or have we literally stormed the Capitol to overthrow an Election - murdereing police & thtreatenting the lives of Senators? Strictly as a hypothetical, you understand... Do our whines offend your fine senses? Then please, accept our humble apologies for such anegregrious offense to the Civil functioning of these great Untied States.
	11:52pm Fishtown Mike: Really powerful show tonight, Therese! Good stuff. Thanks for putting it all together!
	11:55pm Dean: "Whining" is shorthand for complaining about political outcomes without offering corrections to those outcomes. Sorry, Benoni, but you're simply wrong. The "super legislature" argument is not correct. The Supreme Court's job, since Marbury, is to overturn unconstitutional legislation and to overturn bad precedent. And I suspect we all celebrated when the Court did that in, say, Obergefell. Or no? Are you angry that the Court legalized same-sex marriage?
	11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for showing the way, Therese. Take care. Hoping for peace and happiness for you, Suzy.
	11:56pm Matt Fiveash: You done did it to it tonight Therese. Thanks!!!
	11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The seating of these RoghtWing 'Justices' was illegitimate. These aren't their decisions to make.
	11:57pm Aitch: In Australia you have to vote, elections are always on a Saturday and there's loads of early voting options. You get a fine if you don't vote, but everybody does, because why wouldn't you? Vote order on the forms is drawn from a hat in each electorate so dumb votes are averaged. The sheer lack of active democracy in the USA quite baffling to us
	11:58pm Dean: Aitch, you are on the money. This is exactly what people should "whine" (complain, whatever) about.
	11:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Therese! a shit sitch, no doubt. but THANK YOU for putting such a great show together -- feels good 🙏
	11:58pm joe mulligan: thanks for a great show tonight Therese! forgive me for getting drawn into a debate
	11:59pm Aitch: Yes she is, very
	11:59pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Therese!!!
	11:59pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Thank you, Therese!
	12:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You said CourtneyLove! You mean Barnett ! :D
	12:00am Scobot: At any rate, sets were enjoyable. I don’t want to interrupt the heavy conversation with some silly statement about the track selections.
	12:00am Roberto: Thanks for the rant fest! Now remember, folks: every election counts. I'd put a period between each word in that phrase for emphasis but I can't stand when people do that.
	12:01am Benoni: @ Dean. I'm guessing you're not a lawyer. Sup Ct's job has not change. The Sup Ct. has broken precedent (thus far) when finding more rights—as it is a relatively brief Constitution it is exposing.
	12:01am Roberto: Yeah lol imagine an Australian Courtney Love.
	12:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean - we do whine about lower voter turnout - which quite reliably favors the Right in the USA. Shall we discuss Voter Suppression & Election Reform ? Cause we do on the Left...
	7:12am Paulo AD: Thanks Joe, was a fun time

	9:08pm 🤔hidden identity🤔: Would you believe a friend of mine played that at his wedding 😱
	9:08pm Mister Dobalina: This is a nice tune, I like.
	9:08pm spodiodi: haha yes, xtrakrispy!
	9:09pm Destroit: Oh wow totally forgot about this Fugazi song. Have not heard it for 25 yrs, but all coming back to me

	9:21pm Handy Haversack: This show is perfect. Bad Religion!
	9:21pm TDK60: Oh, like the theme. Was at two protests last night.
	9:22pm spodiodi: developing a repetitive stress injury in clicker thumb (heck yeah, Handy!)
	9:23pm dano59: Hit a bookstore in Chicago big on zines last weekend, came home with little booklets of quotations by Frida Kahoolawe, Bjerknes, Nina Simone & Kathleen Hannah. and a few political & music zines. Almost as if I knew something was up (of course I did). Quimby’s rules! Visit the one in NYC
	9:24pm ?: And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next And if you tolerate this Then your children will be next Will be next Will be next Will be next
	9:24pm dano59: Uh, Khalo, Bjork. Autocorrect is flaky
	9:25pm taryninstereo: Obviously appreciating the theme!
	9:26pm KC: I want to read this book!
	9:26pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Oh, Therese, you are wonderful.
	9:31pm Harry Corvair: Holy shit, Terese. Holy. Shit. Thank you, sister. <3
	9:32pm Robm: @therese WHAT THE FUCK is all i have to say
	9:32pm DanFA: Bad Religion are jerks? Were there some revelations about them?
	9:32pm spodiodi: i wanna know too... :O
	9:33pm sandy: oooh snap are Bad Religion dingus’s or something? Heh
	9:33pm DanFA: Because....something something Jesus
	9:33pm Ken From Hyde Park: Good resources here: www.vote.org
	9:33pm TDK60: DanFA: I think our DJ was referring to the title of the song.
	9:33pm KC: I think Therese was referring to the organization called "operation rescue", but I could be wrong
	9:34pm spodiodi: aha! thank you
	9:34pm Bootsie: Seriously. I marched for this shit back in the '80s!
	9:34pm spodiodi: whew
	9:35pm DanFA: Oh, ok. Thank you for clarification. I thought you were talking about the band.
	9:35pm Robm: Wonder what trouble will say about the Supreme Court tomorrow
	9:35pm sandy: Ah I see, I had misunderstood. Thanks for clarifying!
	9:38pm patrick321: Hey Therese and all
	9:39pm Pauly from Clifton: From Jessica Winter in the New Yorker, "When Roe was decided, a married woman in the United States needed her husband’s permission to get a credit card, something that did not change until 1974. No state outlawed marital rape until 1975. No man was found liable for sexual harassment until 1977. Pregnancy was a fireable offense until 1978. Alito does not itemize forms of gender-based subjugation that persisted after Roe, many of which might be persuasively argued as “deeply rooted in this Nation’s history and tradition.” Alito's argument is a slippery slope. Where the fuck do I live?
	9:39pm mariano: De-lurking to say RIGHT ON, THERESE!
	9:39pm Barney Grubbs: I talked to Greg Graffin from Bad Religion at a little punk rock show at cornell in the mid-90s when we were both grad students—he seemed like an all right guy for a zoologist
	9:40pm dano59: People gotta stand and fight & March and shout & Scream and scream And scream And keep showing up until Something is done to fix This sh— And if that fails, burn it all down
	9:40pm patrick321: Listening to your break there I was thinking that "bodily autonomy" is a pretty good clincher. Choosing what happens inside your own body seems like a basic assumption that should apply to any free individual person.
	9:40pm TDK60: My take: Yes, vote, write legislators. But pressure on the streets is needed. Nothing gets change without turmoil.
	9:41pm Therese: Hey Mariano! How's your JazzFest?
	9:42pm Therese: @Pauly from Clifton: My grandmother wanted to buy a condo at the Jersey Shore. She was going to pay in cash. The realtor wouldn't proceed without an okay from her husband. This was in the late 1980s.
	9:44pm Robm: @Therese I hope your grandma got the condo
	9:45pm Minnesota Jim: Ooh, rolling right into the next Janelle Monae song from the album. So smooth.
	9:45pm Therese: @Robm: oh, she did. And that realtor thought twice about asking the next woman who came in if her husband (or worse, FATHER) okayed the purchase.
	9:46pm Therese: @Minnesota Jim: that's what you call a happy accident.
	9:46pm Robm: @therese or the realtor got their ass fired
	9:47pm mariano: Hey, Therese (and all of yous)! Too busy with work for JazzFest, sadly, though I did catch Ween last Friday, three-hour show. It's starting to get hot but it's still that lovely time of the year when it's magical outside and the air is full of jasmine and orange blossom.
	9:47pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: For some reason I keep remembering you playing "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots" right after the Kavanaugh hearings and feeling convinced that this was your tribute to Christine Blasey Ford (which of course I could be deeply wrong about), and thinking about how that moment led to what we're witnessing now. In any case, thank you for your show.
	9:47pm Pauly from Clifton: @Therese, W O W. The late 80s? Glad she got it nonetheless...PERSIST!
	9:48pm Gurldoggie: Has anyone read Janelle Monad’s book of stories? I haven’t yet, but I’m very curious.
	9:49pm Therese: @Gurldoggie: her book is very high on my To Be Read list.
	9:49pm taryninstereo: It’s none of your business!
	9:49pm Robm: Love salt n oepa
	9:49pm Gurldoggie: WFMU book club?
	9:50pm Therese: @Gurldoggie: I am here for that!
	9:50pm KC: I love a WFMU book club idea
	9:50pm Robm: I meant pepa
	9:50pm Gurldoggie: I’m in!
	9:52pm Alex of Chicago: Really appreciating the show tonight.
	9:53pm Harry Corvair: “Let everybody know… “Fear of a female planet…” Yes.
	9:53pm Handy Haversack: Sweet Jabber, how I love Salt N Pepe. Gurldoggie, Therese, if you see listener Yeti Bob, check out his profile, which links to a list of listener-recommended books from Trouble's board.
	9:54pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: @Harry are you a green bean?
	9:54pm DanFA: @Gurldoggie - I second that too, book club
	9:55pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nivarna rules!
	9:55pm Handy Haversack: I mean, come on! What Ken said!
	9:56pm KC: I just put "The Memory Librarian" on hold from my local library so I can start reading it when it comes in.
	9:56pm Matt Fiveash: Yr burning it up Therese! Thanks
	9:56pm DanFA: @KFHP i.pinimg.com...
	9:57pm Therese: Hiya, Fiveash! You help stoke my rage earlier, and for that, I thank you!
	9:57pm DanFA: This is the best Nirvana album.
	9:59pm Stevel: Preach.
	10:01pm Ken From Hyde Park: Great picture, DanFA. WFMU - Book appreciation Them - Book burning
	10:02pm B R M: I am finding tonight's show incredibly comforting and cathartic. Thank you @therese ... standing with you always.
	10:03pm dano59: Or an actual child. George Carlin nailed that decades ago
	10:04pm Gurldoggie: Tell it Therese! We’re right with you!
	10:05pm DanFA: @KFPH it is a truly iconic photo.
	10:05pm shlomy: abortionfunds.org www.plancpills.org
	10:06pm DanFA: No
	10:06pm Blues Mandinga: Ea!
	10:06pm TDK60: The Repugnants know that 70% of the populace is against them. Hence their anti-democratic moves of late.
	10:06pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Go Therese go!!!
	10:07pm Matt Fiveash: Tell em buddy
	10:07pm Robm: @Therese preach it
	10:07pm timinoak: It's good to hear your take, Therese.
	10:08pm dano59: All outrage anger and fires in bellies are fully justified.
	10:09pm Odomfax: !! Righteous anger !!
	10:09pm Harry Corvair: @bob This green bean? Unsafe at any speed. ;-)
	10:10pm dano59: The abortion bans are also integral to the GOP power-grab strategy. Theocracy is A-OK as long as they stay in power.
	10:11pm Meghan: Go Therese! Say it how it is!!
	10:19pm Matt Fiveash: Wow. Have not heard this MF Dolly cover before. Astonishing.
	10:20pm Therese: Oh, man. Marianne Faithfull rules.
	10:23pm ?: Therese. Rules !!
	10:23pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The wealthy & the powerful will always have access to as much abortion as they will ever want. & - they will use it. & - we all know it. So this isn't a Moral issue whatsoever. Facts don't support that. Facts like all the many conditions for which abortion is the only way of saving the mother's life. & so many more. You know them. Obviously this is the Politics of Emotion - especially approaching a crucial Midterm Election. My hope there is they gigantically miscalculated ! & have wildly energized & unified their opposition. It is propaganda in the Culture Wars. It is War against the Poor & against Women. Not unrelate to all of these : It is desperate War against Democracy itself - because the Majority is demonstrably & unequivocally & overwhelmingly in favor of Reproductive Rights. It's not close to being close. Don't be deceived about that.
	10:24pm Rachel Bo Bachel: That Marianne Faithful tune brought the tears. Thank you Therese. First time hearing your show ❤️
	10:26pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Revolution rabbit you said it!
	10:28pm Robm: @Rachel hope you listened to therese on her talks she was on fire
	10:28pm Stevel: RRN63: Well said.
	10:30pm dano59: RR63: but the right is going all-in to rally their anti-abortion base (because “pro-life” is an ugly off-base oxymoron for those beliefs… we quit using it at my newspaper)
	10:31pm Rachel Bo Bachel: Robm! Yes I understand how she feels 100%. We can’t be complacent re: separation of church and state. And I say that as a religious Jew and proud American! Go Therese!!!
	10:33pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Has been observed that it is easier for the RightWing to just fly the flag of some outrageous ideology - & get its followers in single file to the Polls. But being Liberal means literally to tolerate wider views. So tho we are a clear & significant Majority - it's harder to get us to the Polls & marking the same box. That's up to us.
	10:33pm Robm: @Rachel so do i, could feel the rage
	10:34pm dano59: Absolutely, Rev. mobilization & motivation needed to fight fire with fire
	10:35pm TDK60: Revrab, I'm not liberal. Rather, radical.
	10:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Not using the term 'ProLife' is important I think - because it is a propaganda war. This is what the Gingrich-Rove was all about: killing off bipartisan civility & actually helping the nation whatsoever - & instead villifying the other other Party in the Press &tc. - whatever the cost to us all.
	10:35pm tim from washington: Hi Therese and everyone. I love recent Marianne Faithfull. I missed the previous mic break. I’m 49 years old. This past year I’ve really been changing my thoughts about our country and society. I always thought that society moves forward and progresses albeit slowly with many bumps in the road. But with the reactionary turn from the left in regard to the nuances of free speech, the bald faced hypocrisy from the right, the return of war that could ignite nuclear war and now this impending stacked court overturn of Roe I think this is the shittiest I’ve ever seen it. So I’ve been thinking that society doesn’t progress . Now I’ve got to figure out how to sanely live within a retrograde state.
	10:36pm elwyn: You can never play too much Neko Case.
	10:37pm Robm: In pther words trolls stay off the board
	10:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: @TDK60: It depends entirely on the definitions & what have become the conventions around them. & this is a perfect example of what I'm trying to illustrate with that... What happened @ the DNC in 1968 should be better known & considered by all. The Democratic Party & the Left have long had this rift, in other words...
	10:41pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...the Nazis in Germany won actual election - because too many other parties divided the vote...
	10:42pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & frankly 'Law & Order' Nixon in the USA knew this perfectly well.
	10:44pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: - & it's just continued in the half century since.
	10:44pm Faye: HaaaAAaAAayyy Therese!
	10:45pm spodiodi: hear, hear, Rev
	10:46pm Faye: ♥️♥️♥️
	10:51pm spodiodi: available only to the rich
	10:52pm Gurldoggie: The brilliance that is Ishmael Butler.
	10:52pm Roberto: GOP plan: 1. Break country 2. Complain country is broken 3. Get elected/re-elected cuz fear sells 4. Break country moar
	10:54pm Roberto: 5. See 2.
	10:55pm Stevel: Keep voting, especially in local races. Help a campaign if you have the ability, with time or $$.
	10:57pm Roberto: Chickenshite socially anxious like me can join letter-writing campaigns (as I just did). Zero direct human contact needed! And you can pet your kitty while you write.
	11:00pm Tamar: I ❤️ Therese! I needed this!
	11:00pm Stevel: Roberto: Well done! I need to add something to my list.
	11:00pm Therese: Tamar! Hi Tamar!
	11:01pm Matt Fiveash: Love this Raincoats song. A Jones jukebox perennial!
	11:02pm Therese: Goddammit, I miss the Jones!
	11:03pm Jaydot Kaydot: This playlist is soothing my weary soul on this night.
	11:07pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: A list of abortion funds to which you can donate: www.thecut.com...
	11:08pm Harry Corvair: Windup? Yes. Great show. Somber and rocking. Let’s dance, and win.
	11:08pm spodiodi: 🔨 BANNED
	11:08pm Handy Haversack: Shouting out K8 for the concert she put on last Sat. to raise $1500 for National Network of Abortion Funds. She rules! And so did all the bands thereat!
	11:09pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Trust me, DJ All Ukrainians Are Nazis has banned lots of regular commenters for their normal liberal/progressive political opinions and that doesn't ban them from other comments on WFMU.
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: Watch your privates, jerks! It's punching season!
	11:09pm Handy Haversack: Amyl!!!!
	11:10pm spodiodi: new (to me) Amyl and the Sniffers!
	11:11pm ?: I hope that everybody recognizes that seven white old men decided Roe v. Wade. And Obergefell overturned Bowers...undemocratically. Every court decision has a winner and a loser. Stop whining if you turn out for the moment to be a loser.
	11:13pm joe mulligan: winners have the courage to post their names @?
	11:13pm ?: Courage. That's a good one.
	11:14pm ?: More to the point: what's wrong with the argument?
	11:15pm joe mulligan: it takes courage to not hide behind the anonymity of social media. in fact, there's less arguing that way
	11:15pm Paulo AD: Good morning all :) how yall doing?
	11:16pm ?: It takes courage? Really?
	11:16pm Stevel: Great stuff tonight!
	11:16pm Stevel: Fair to partly troll-y.
	11:16pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Oh great, it's the Winter Soldier.
	11:17pm Paulo AD: Oh, seems its all kicking off on here eh!
	11:17pm joe mulligan: yes, you could doxx me and hunt me down cause I use my real name @?. but I try to play nice so you wont do that
	11:17pm ?: You can meet me in my room in my mom's basement if you want to discuss it further.
	11:18pm McGroovey: @? Stop whining, you say? But you're whining right now. I'm puzzled by that paradox.
	11:18pm Stevel: NO apologies!
	11:19pm joe mulligan: that's always how it goes.. so back to the point.. winners and losers are fine but it gets tricky when lots of ppl think those who won are not right.. this is not a sports game we're talking about
	11:19pm Dean: Here I am, Mr. Courageous. Address my point, which is that the Supreme Court has not infrequently overturned its own precedent. When the outcome is to your advantage, you celebrate it. When not, you whine. This strategy won't work for you nor for those of us, including me, who despise the outcome suggested by the leaked opinion.
	11:19pm Roberto: Admit it, this was catchy AF in '97 or whenever.
	11:19pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: I can't even figure out what ?'s point is supposed to be, which is some pretty poor-quality trolling IMHO.
	11:20pm joe mulligan: it's not about a title championship for the season Dean, it's about peoples lives.
	11:20pm Harry Corvair: This song? Yes. If you really bug me Then I’ll say goodbye
	11:21pm Jaydot Kaydot: You don't have to believe it the legitimacy of the court to recognize that it's rulings have material effects on real people's lives.
	11:21pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Wild Flag!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
	11:22pm joe mulligan: the celebration and "whining" is more of an after-effect. some can't help themselves, and others are better at refraining themselves. if you have the calm to do so, you're good Dean!
	11:22pm Becky: Hi! So proud to broadcast next to you. One of the major inspirations I had for coming to live in NYC was seeing Bikini Kill at CMJ when I was in high school. Thanks for playing them.
	11:23pm Jaydot Kaydot: Or to put it another way....you don't have to believe in the legitimacy of the court to really really really wanna zing-ah-zing-aaaaah
	11:23pm joe mulligan: it's about the gravity of the consequences, like @Jaydot said!
	11:24pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: "Wouldn't it be more fun if this was something you could have opinions on and not something I had to live with?" -- Tsunami, "460"
	11:25pm joe mulligan: if the leak was about changing the color of the US flag to brown purple and yellow, I wouldnt care so much.
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The true overwhelming Majority support Reproductive Rights. So - it's a question of Representative & Democracy. Justices get Appointed by supposed Representatives - but the Republicans in the Senate represent 43 Million fewer of us than the Democrats there. The Republicans blocked Democratic POTUS's nominees - & bumrushed their own. So if your argument is about Fariness & Civility ...No.
	11:28pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: & remember Drumpf - the nominator - lost the popular vote dramatically as well. & then lost another entire Election - & never conceded to this day.
	11:28pm Stevel: "Star Wars was not really feminist." Therese. Noble effort!
	11:28pm Dean: Ike, you're way smarter than that. Of course you can figure out my point. The outcome of this supposed decision is legitimate in one respect: the Court decided it according to its protocols. It very well might not be logically or doctrinally legitimate. It might be a "bad" decision. But guess what? The arbiters of what is a bad decision are the Court (oops, that's a problem) and the legislature. I'm only complaining--okay, whining--about how folks bitch that the Court is "political." That goes without saying. The Court is precisely designed NOT to be democratic. Its purpose is precisely to overturn democratically decided laws and policies. This country is not 100% about "majority rules." The Court's job is to check stupid majoritarian policies and laws.
	11:29pm suzyhotrod: Love the tunes Therese! I hear ya!! Also I got dumped last night and am enjoying the pro femme tunes for a remedy of that! You’re the best!
	11:29pm Paulo AD: Ah no way Suzy. Take this hug from me and hope you feel ok
	11:30pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean - that would work & be wonderful if they got there legitimately & they weren't lying sacks of sh*t.
	11:30pm Therese: Suzy! Hello, love!
	11:32pm Dean: No, RevRab. It would work if everybody obeyed my every whim.
	11:32pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Much love to ya, Suzy. Also, what kind of idiot... eh, never mind, now I'm going to start thinking about all my failed relationships, or more frequently the ones that barely even got off the ground!
	11:33pm Paulo AD: Ike, you'll be OK dude. I have faith :) I managed to find my soul mate after 35 years
	11:34pm Paulo AD: Suzy and Ike, if it makes you laugh I can show you a picture of me throwing a kid in the sea?
	11:35pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You say it goes without saying the Court is Political - & then you say, in so many words, that the value of the Court is that it is not - it is merely Legal. It's self-contradictory nonsense trying to disguise itself in verbosity.
	11:37pm Dean: Okay, RevRab. Solve that problem.
	11:37pm 🇺🇦 Ike 🇺🇦: Sure @Paulo, I'm always in favor of throwing children into the sea, LOL!
	11:38pm Dean: More to the point, I'll assume you celebrated Obergefell, as I did (mostly). Why was that okay for you? Merely because it coincided with your preferences?
	11:39pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: It's not the Legislative Branch. It's not their job to overturn Laws made by the Elected Congress. It's their job to apply them.
	11:39pm Harry Corvair: You’ve got Portland in your ear Good song, this
	11:40pm Dean: See Marbury v. Madison, Rev. That issue was decided long ago. But again, if you believe what you say, then Obergefell was wrong?
	11:40pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Is this the best WFMU episode ever? It might be!
	11:40pm Paulo AD: imgur.com...
	11:40pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ' Obergefell v. Hodges, 576 U.S. 644, is a landmark civil rights case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. ' That is - the Law.
	11:41pm Roberto: We're not pissed off at the Court. We're pissed off at the GOP for stealing at least one and as many as three appointments to the Court.
	11:42pm joe mulligan: cool pic Paulo! nice Vilebrequins
	11:43pm Dean: The GOP "stole" those appointments legitimately, alas. Sucks, doesn't it? Obergefell overturned Bowers v. Hardwick.
	11:44pm Dean: If you don't know the rules, you can't possibly win the game.
	11:47pm Harry Corvair: Moar moar moar Great show , this <3 <3 <3
	11:47pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Maybe so - but you're accusing us of 'whining' about serial abuses of good will, fairness, honesty, transparency, democratic process & long long civil precedent. If, say - it were the other way around - & Republican candidates had won't the popular vote by millions - but lost the Elections - you reckon there'd be any - 'whining' ? Sir ? Or wouldd the Right be exhibiting perfect chivalry in the face of critical defeat - because 'Rules'...
	11:49pm Aitch: Try to tell this Courtney she can't have an abortion and she'll tell you to get fucked. The USA so weirdly backward on stuff like that.
	11:50pm Scobot: Never knew that Babes in Toyland covered “More More More.”Astonishingly impressive.
	11:50pm Benoni: @Dean. No, it is not the job of the Supreme Court or any Court in the US to "check stupid majoritarian policies." The Court should not act as a super legislature or replace the policy decisions of the states or federal government with policies it prefers. The Sup Ct took away a civil right based on what was an unbroken string of its own decisions. "Precedent on precedent" as one person previously put it. The Sup Ct's breaking of stare decisis without any newly arising justification will weaken the rule of law, and the legitimacy of its own court. If you still think that is a "win" then that's on you.
	11:50pm joe mulligan: sorry to hear about your sitch Suzy Hotrod! don't say it too too loud or else you'll have your fan club comin at ya
	11:51pm joe mulligan: meaning: there's a lot of people to like a lot about you.
	11:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...as it is they've stolen two Presidential Administrations from the popular vote - & exhibited the polar opposite of humility or civility @ any opportunity. In fact - oceans & mountains of rhetorical abuse as a basic & fundamental modus operandi. Are we the 'whiners', Sir? Not, say, civility conceding Elections we've lost? Or have we literally stormed the Capitol to overthrow an Election - murdereing police & thtreatenting the lives of Senators? Strictly as a hypothetical, you understand... Do our whines offend your fine senses? Then please, accept our humble apologies for such anegregrious offense to the Civil functioning of these great Untied States.
	11:52pm Fishtown Mike: Really powerful show tonight, Therese! Good stuff. Thanks for putting it all together!
	11:55pm Dean: "Whining" is shorthand for complaining about political outcomes without offering corrections to those outcomes. Sorry, Benoni, but you're simply wrong. The "super legislature" argument is not correct. The Supreme Court's job, since Marbury, is to overturn unconstitutional legislation and to overturn bad precedent. And I suspect we all celebrated when the Court did that in, say, Obergefell. Or no? Are you angry that the Court legalized same-sex marriage?
	11:56pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks for showing the way, Therese. Take care. Hoping for peace and happiness for you, Suzy.
	11:56pm Matt Fiveash: You done did it to it tonight Therese. Thanks!!!
	11:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: The seating of these RoghtWing 'Justices' was illegitimate. These aren't their decisions to make.
	11:57pm Aitch: In Australia you have to vote, elections are always on a Saturday and there's loads of early voting options. You get a fine if you don't vote, but everybody does, because why wouldn't you? Vote order on the forms is drawn from a hat in each electorate so dumb votes are averaged. The sheer lack of active democracy in the USA quite baffling to us
	11:58pm Dean: Aitch, you are on the money. This is exactly what people should "whine" (complain, whatever) about.
	11:58pm spodiodi: thanks, Therese! a shit sitch, no doubt. but THANK YOU for putting such a great show together -- feels good 🙏
	11:58pm joe mulligan: thanks for a great show tonight Therese! forgive me for getting drawn into a debate
	11:59pm Aitch: Yes she is, very
	11:59pm Will the Sound Guy: Thank you Therese!!!
	11:59pm Bob in DC and/or Virginia: Thank you, Therese!
	12:00am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: You said CourtneyLove! You mean Barnett ! :D
	12:00am Scobot: At any rate, sets were enjoyable. I don’t want to interrupt the heavy conversation with some silly statement about the track selections.
	12:00am Roberto: Thanks for the rant fest! Now remember, folks: every election counts. I'd put a period between each word in that phrase for emphasis but I can't stand when people do that.
	12:01am Benoni: @ Dean. I'm guessing you're not a lawyer. Sup Ct's job has not change. The Sup Ct. has broken precedent (thus far) when finding more rights—as it is a relatively brief Constitution it is exposing.
	12:01am Roberto: Yeah lol imagine an Australian Courtney Love.
	12:01am Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Dean - we do whine about lower voter turnout - which quite reliably favors the Right in the USA. Shall we discuss Voter Suppression & Election Reform ? Cause we do on the Left...
	7:12am Paulo AD: Thanks Joe, was a fun time
