[Verse 1:]
We had a trip (we had a...)
It was the best time of our lives
It meant so much to you and I
We won’t forget it until we die
Won’t let it slip (won't let it...)
I know that in a blink of an eye
It all can change, but I’ma try
To make you stay forever by my side

[Pre-Chorus:]
It doesn’t matter where we’re gonna go
Cuz baby, all that I need to know
Is that you’re with me, yeah you’re with me...

[Chorus:]
When you look me in the eyes
I know that this is right
It makes me wanna try
Tryna be the loving kind
Cuz every single moment that you’re here by my side
Means everythin’ to me, baby you know why
The minute that you’re gone
You know I can’t be strong
I’m no good on my own
Without you, it all goes wrong
Much as I wanna make you stay, boy you know I won’t
Cuz picturin’ you sleepin’ so tight is what I must do alone

[Verse 2:]
(One, two, three, I know, I know...)
I know we’re gonna have ups and downs
Sometimes we fight, but we work it out
I turn away but always turn around 
We fell in love (we fell in love, yeah)
And even though it wasn’t at first sight
We’ve been blossomin’, can you see that’s why
I am your destiny and then you’re mine...

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Oh-woah oh-aah ooh…
Oh-woah oh-aah ooh…
Ooh yeah…
You make your funny face and I laugh so hard
You make me feel like I am a piece of art
I’m so in love witchu, witchu, witchu, yeah
I’m glad that I’m witchu, witchu, witchu
(Boy I'm glad that I'm with you...)

[Chorus:]
When you look me in the eyes
I know that this is right
It makes me wanna try
Tryna be the loving kind
Cuz every single moment that you’re here by my side
Means everythin’ to me, baby you know why
The minute that you’re gone
You know I can’t be strong
I’m no good on my own
Without you, it all goes wrong
Much as I wanna make you stay, boy you know I won’t
I’m picturin’ you sleepin’ so tight…

[Chorus 2:]
And I am so thankful that you’re mine
So happy I could cry
You make everything right
You’re the reason I’m alive
Cuz every single moment that you’re here by my side
Means everythin’ to me, baby you know why
You brighten up my days
With you, I know I’m safe
And if it might be late
To admit that this is fate 
I only wanna say that I’ll never go away
As long as you’re gonna keep on lovin’ me the same

Thankful (Every Single Moment)

That's right, we've got a podcast out. Caitlin and Tim discuss the harrowing experience of following Israel's mass atrocities in Gaza for four months, then answer some questions from readers and trolls. 

Questions we address here include:
"Who is Tim?"
"Do you guys ever disagree on the topics you cover?"
"What are the ways that people deeply attached to the status quo - even whilst recognising it stinks - can be encouraged to let go their grip?"
"Do you ever tweet anything that isn't either anti-Israel or anti-USA?"
"Who do you support for President?"
"What kind of world should we strive for?"

Podcast: Four Months Of Genocide

The Biden administration is feeding pleasing sound bites to the mass media about the president saying mean things about Netanyahu in order to placate their base, while having their foot firmly on the gas pedal of concrete actions toward continuing the genocide in Gaza.

Ignore What Western Officials Say About Israel; Watch Their Actions Instead

Every single day these last four and a half months I've been inundated with comments from Israel supporters excusing the most monstrous acts imaginable in the most monstrous ways imaginable. People calling for the total destruction of Gaza. People saying the Gazans deserve what is happening to them. Saying the sickest shit you can possibly think of in response to news of terrible things happening to innocent children.

Latin America charges Israel with genocide, compares it to Nazi Germany

You simply cannot fit more America into a single incident than a man dying a horrifying death in protest of war crimes while a first responder screams at cops to stop pointing their guns at him and go get fire extinguishers.

The Most American Thing That Has Ever Happened

Shortly before his final act in this world, Bushnell posted the following message on Facebook:

"Many of us like to ask ourselves, 'What would I do if I was alive during slavery? Or the Jim Crow South? Or apartheid? What would I do if my country was committing genocide?'

"The answer is, you're doing it. Right now."

Aaron Bushnell has provided his own answer to this challenge. We're all providing our own right now.

Aaron Bushnell Burned Himself Alive To Make You Turn Your Eyes To Gaza

A song of limerence performed by Madison, Wisconsin's Honor Among Thieves band at the legendary Club de Wash in 1986. 

Nothing to Lose

Are you lonely?
She was reaching out her hand
Are you lonely?
She said I’ll always understand
Are you lonely?
She said I’m the promised land

And you better come along with me

She said I know you
I’m you oldest friend
I really know you
There’s no reason to pretend 
That I don’t know you
From your beginning to you end

And you better come along with me


She came out of the night
With her eyes like death
I could smell my future all over her breath
There was nothing I do
Nothing I could say
But I was blind for hours 
And I cried for days

I said I love you
It was pouring out like rain
I really love you
I was going half insane
You've got got nothing to lose
And a world to gain

And you better come along with me

Dr. Gerald Horne is an author and historian who currently holds the John J. and Rebecca Moores Chair of History and African American Studies at the University of Houston. His most recent book is "I Dare Say: a Gerald Horne Reader."
He joins us to discuss US/Israeli policy, which has culminated in war crimes and a genocide in Gaza. We also discuss the U.S. proxy war in Ukraine and other international issues.

Dr. Gerald Horne Discusses the Crises of Imperialism

This week we discuss a police killing in Chicago after the establishment of a system of community control of police, and a Black member of a Canadian provincial parliament is ordered not to wear a keffiyeh in an ongoing campaign to silence Black voices and to exclude Palestinian solidarity from the public sphere. But first we hear about the latest effort to use the United States Supreme Court to end New York’s system of rent regulation which is now led by the man who mayor Eric Adams has chosen to lead the City’s Law Department.
