This song is my direct message to listeners about accountability, truth, and history’s memory. It calls out how Trump’s choices and associations have left a permanent mark that can’t be erased or denied. The lyrics frame his legacy as being carved into a “book of shame,” a symbolic place where lies, betrayal, and complicity are recorded forever.
It isn’t just about him—it’s also about the survivors, families, and voices who refuse to be silenced. Their pain, courage, and fight for justice are woven into the verses, reminding us that scars can transform into strength and fire. The chorus drives home the idea that no amount of denial or revision can undo the damage, because witnesses, photographs, and history itself speak louder than excuses.
At its core, this song is a protest anthem and a memorial. It’s about holding power accountable, remembering the victims, and making sure that future generations see the truth, not the lies. It’s a vow not to forget, not to forgive, and not to let shame be buried under denial.


LYRICS: 

[Verse 1]
In the pages of a predator’s pride
Your name is carved where the shadows hide
Smiling with monsters, shaking their hands
You can’t wash the ink, it stains like the sand 

[Pre-Chorus]
And you deny, deny, deny
But the truth won’t burn away with your lies 

[Chorus]
Signed in the book of shame, can’t tear it out
Every mark is a witness, every voice will shout
You stood with the guilty, now the guilty remains
Trump, you’re written forever in the book of shame 

[Verse 2]
Photographs tell what your words conceal
History cuts deeper than the lies you steal
You called him a friend, now you curse his name
But silence can’t bury the depth of your blame 

[Pre-Chorus]
And you deny, deny, deny
But the truth won’t burn away with your lies 

[Chorus]
Signed in the book of shame, can’t tear it out
Every mark is a witness, every voice will shout
You stood with the guilty, now the guilty remains
Trump, you’re written forever in the book of shame 

[Verse 3]
Mothers are crying, daughters still fight
For justice that flickers in the dark of the night
But every survivor, with courage unchained
Turns pages of pain into rivers of flame 

[Bridge]
We won’t forget, we won’t forgive
For every scar we’re forced to live
The book is open, the world can see
You can’t erase your legacy 

[Chorus]
Signed in the book of shame, can’t tear it out
Every mark is a witness, every voice will shout
You stood with the guilty, now the guilty remains
Trump, you’re written forever in the book of shame 

[Chorus]
Signed in the book of shame, can’t tear it out
Every mark is a witness, every voice will shout
You stood with the guilty, now the guilty remains
Trump, you’re written forever in the book of shame 

[Chorus]
Signed in the book of shame, can’t tear it out
Every mark is a witness, every voice will shout
You stood with the guilty, now the guilty remains
Trump, you’re written forever in the book of shame 

[Outro]
Forever marked, forever chained
History holds you, book of shame
No denial, no escape
Trump, your name is carved in hate

Signed in The Book of Shame

Leslie is joined by Amber Miller, Director of the USW’s Rapid Response Department, a roughly 30-year tradition of member-driven, issue-based, nonpartisan legislative activism. 
Amber has been a proud second-generation Steelworker since 1997 where she began her career at Chase Brass and Copper in northwest Ohio.

The two discuss how gerrymandering is a clear and present danger to working families, and what can be done to fight back.

Gerrymandering allows politicians to redraw district maps in ways that protect their own power instead of reflecting the will of the people, silencing working families and communities of color. 
From Texas to Missouri, these power grabs undermine democracy, suppress votes, and weaken the voices of everyday citizens. 

Yet history shows that when working people organize—whether through ballot initiatives or grassroots campaigns—they can push back against partisan manipulation. 
States like Michigan prove that fair districting is possible, ensuring representatives are accountable to voters rather than corporate or political interests.

Michael Rectenwald discusses his newly founded Anti-Zionist America PAC (AZAPAC) which exists to end America’s political, financial, and military entanglement with Israel. He explains what has gone wrong with Zionist influence, how its mask has come off under the Trump administration, the attack on civil liberties, the devastation of Gaza, and more. He also gives an update on where we're at with the globalist project for a technocratic world state.

The US and China are the world's two most powerful countries, but they have very different visions for the global order. Compare the speeches delivered at the UN General Assembly by Donald Trump and Chinese Premier Li Qiang. The United States wants a unipolar system based on unilateralism, aggression, and hegemony, whereas China wants a multipolar system based on multilateralism, peaceful development, and sovereign equality, centered in the United Nations. Ben Norton explains.

USA vs China: Which represents humanity's future? Compare their UN speeches

US ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria Tom Barrack appeared to frame the administration’s thinking in a freewheeling interview on the eve of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu's high-stakes meeting on Monday in Washington with President Donald Trump, his fourth in ten months.
The two men’s discussions will focus on a 21-point plan presented by Mr. Trump earlier in the week to Arab and Muslim leaders on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
Messrs. Trump and Netanyahu appear to have set out their positions in advance of the meeting, suggesting that harsh words could be exchanged.


Trump and Netanyahu draw battlelines

Trump's executive order designating Antifa a "domestic terrorist organization" was quickly followed by a mobilization of federal troops to anarchist hotbed Portland and a highly unusual call for a gathering of military brass from around the world in Quantico—to take place the day before the government will be shut down if a Congressional deal is not reached. These evident preparations for mass repression, or even an auto-golpe and establishment of a Trump dictatorship, were conveniently followed by a sniper attack on an ICE facility in Dallas. In Episode 297 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg argues that Trump's attempted criminalization of anti-fascism portends an imminent consolidation of fascist rule in the United States—and asks what we're going to do about it.

The best progressive talk right here, on demand. Always Progressive, Always On!

Songwriting has been a lifelong passion for me, dating back to elementary school when I first began crafting stories, poems, and eventually lyrics. As a former drummer in various bands, I always relied on others to bring my words to life musically. However, after a long hiatus from drumming, I decided to take the leap and learn to compose music to accompany my lyrics. Through classes and dedication, I've embarked on a new journey, breathing fresh life into old lyrics and penning new ones. You'll find a mix of older and newer works here. Especially for some of the lyrics. 

Music has been a part of me for as long as I can remember. One of my earliest memories is being completely entranced by 'The Little Drummer Boy' as a very young child. There was something about the rhythm and the melody that just captivated me. I must have played it a thousand times, wearing the record out, and from that moment on, I was hooked. I knew I wanted to be a drummer and to create that magic for others. 

But I was too young then, and of course, I couldn't afford a drum set just yet. So, I turned to writing as a way to express myself. As I mentioned above, I started with stories, then poems, and eventually, lyrics. I found that writing was not only a way to tap into my creativity, but also a way to process my emotions and experiences. 

As I grew older, my love for music only deepened. I realized that music has this incredible power to transport us to different times and places, to evoke emotions and memories that we thought were long forgotten. It's a universal language that can bring people together like nothing else can. 

For me, writing lyrics is a cathartic experience. It's a way for me to tap into my emotions, to process the world around me, and to create something that I hope will resonate with others. And when I hear my words come to life in a song, it's truly magical. It's a feeling that never gets old, and it's what keeps me coming back to music time and time again. 

I love many genres of music and artists of many genres. And if you listen to some of my songs, you will find that I like to make songs of different genres as well as mix different genres into each song. One of my all-time favorite bands is Evanescence, and I have made a lot of songs where I have tried my best to emulate that sound. 

Now, I have recently started experimenting with new sounds. I never heard of glitch beats before I took music classes, and now I'm fascinated with the sound, so I have been experimenting with glitch beats recently. 

I hope you enjoy some of my songs. And thanks so much to everyone who has been listening so far. I truly appreciate it. I welcome constructive feedback to help me grow as an artist, and I appreciate your support. ❤️

BTW if you follow me, I will ALWAYS follow back. If I like your music, I will follow you, but if you don't follow me back within a week or so I will probably unfollow. The same goes for when I see someone listening to my music, I WILL follow, however, if they don't follow me back within a week or so, I'll unfollow, because I'm at my limit of follows and I want to follow back everyone who follows me. Did not know that SoundCloud limits us to following only 2000. 😢
