This song was written eight years ago as the darkness of the first Trump presidency was making itself known. And now once again we have the unthinkable -- this disastrous human being with power at his fingers.  And he's already busy spreading lies, fear, and hate.

Liisa Pentti https://soundcloud.com/liisapentti did guest vocals on this 2019 version, and it's the definitive one -- I love what she did.

Ever Since the Rainbow

ever since the rainbow left the evening sky
waiting and hoping seem such a waste of time
into the air we fly into the seams we dive
as if the dust of a broken down dream
could start the engine fire

the passage of time this endless ennui
rivers and threads between you and me
sleep and dream again and again
an old man's finger tapping on a window pane
we dream and breath we love and grieve
remember that we share the same blood and air

the innocent sunrise the whispering day
dark clouds rising that will pass away
I know that these things that bind you to the common marrow
will rise up in your veins to remind you
remember that we share the same blood and air

It was recorded as a keynote discussion at the Lviv Media Forum—one of Ukraine’s major media events—in May 2025 (https://lvivmediaforum.com/en)

We’re now publishing it as part of our Thinking in Dark Times series at UkraineWorld.

Anne Applebaum on Trump, Ukraine, and Russia

Terrell Jermaine Starr is a Black American journalist who spends much of his time in Ukraine. He knows the country intimately.

He also recognizes the striking parallels between the experiences of Ukrainians and Black Americans in the United States. For centuries, both groups have endured systemic violence and humiliation—sometimes overt, sometimes hidden—that have pushed them into subordinate roles within societies dominated by others.

In this episode, we explore these shared struggles and work toward fostering a deeper understanding between the two communities.

Explaining Ukraine is a podcast by UkraineWorld, an English-language media outlet about Ukraine run by Internews Ukraine. 

Host: Volodymyr Yermolenko, a Ukrainian philosopher, the chief editor of UkraineWorld and the president of PEN Ukraine.

We are recording this conversation during the Lviv Media Forum, in May 2025 in Lviv, the Western part of Ukraine.

12-Bar Blues in A see backing track
Now they’re makin’ a big deal, no tax on tips
When it should be no tax on labor
And you should know Trump’s Big ‘Beautiful’ Bill
Won’t be doin’ us any favors, no
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

Oh, ‘cuz I understand there’s an AI police state
Wrapped up in that tyrannical bill
And Trump wants it on his desk Independence Day
More freedoms and liberties to kill, yeah
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

[Chorus]
Now, Musk is screaming:  Kill the Bill!
Elon Musk is screaming:  Kill the Bill!
Could the honeymoon be over for Trump and Musk?
Oh, I guess we’ll hafta wait, wait an’ see, yeah
Ooooh-woo-hoo, hoo-hoo

[Music]

Over one thousand pages, who can read it all?
Bill passed the House by a one-vote margin
More debt for your children, less Medicaid for the poor
Doesn’t sound to be no bargain, no
Whoa-whoa, no

[Chorus]
‘Cuz Musk is screaming:  Kill the Bill!
Elon Musk is screaming:  Kill the Bill!
Could the honeymoon be over for Trump and Musk?
Oh, I guess we’ll hafta wait, wait an’ see, yeh
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

Oh, ‘cuz they’re makin’ a big deal, no tax on tips
When it should be no tax on labor
And you should know Trump’s Big ‘Beautiful’ Bill
Won’t be doin’ us any favors, no
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh

PUTS has always celebrated youth culture and people from all walks of life, social classes, ideologies, identities, religions and countries. 20 years of touring opened my mind to the most powerful force in human nature - unity.  And, while many may choose to privately grumble about the current divisive state of America, I can no longer remain silent as Trump and the RNC undermine objective reality. There is truth. There is real news. It is happening in front of our eyes, indisputable - just as sure as they called climate change a "chinese hoax" to selling out our national parks and oceans to the very real effort to subvert reality through social media manipulation and bots. This is no conspiracy, it's happening in front of us, plain to see. 2,000 lies on record, while using dog whistle politics to rile up hatred and bigotry in his base. We can’t let this become the new normal.

Hip hop will always speak for the voiceless, those who struggle yet aspire for change. We will not tolerate this - Thes

Dog-whistles in a no-kill kennel of mutts/ They so proud/
He got ‘em riled up foaming at mouth and barkin’ loud/
Or louder than their bite at least/ Livin’ in their own shit/
Too dumb, protect the dogcatcher ‘cause he’s rich/ 
A cartoon buffoon/ A new money royal/
a FOX in the henhouse to egg on the loyal/
Yes! He’s from the soil, Nope he’s not born in Kenya/ 
Or Benghazi, Emails or Female, Shariah!/
The enemies are you and me & anyone who disagrees/
With reason, or logic – Now we committing Treason/
No cohesion now but watch this/ Eyes on my right fist/
To the sky, hold it high/ While I yell RESIST!
‘Cause orange Voldemort wanna deport my family/
Destroy my planet while insulting my damn sanity/
& Sean Hannity will broadcast “alternative facts”:
We’re nothing but scary Mexicans & murderous Blacks &
Liberal Gays – they can’t understand the youth/ 
RNC distort reality at war with the truth/ 
But grab your thinking cap, ‘cause it’s time to go to war
Against hate/ Muthafucka make America Great
They Got

Racists making noise
Sayin’ be good girls and boys
But our time to stand is now.
Don’t you wanna come with me?
X2

Don’t get me wrong both sides may share blame
But the one driving the train is clinically insane/ 
He got The Nuclear Football/ yep, look it up/
He got The Nuclear Football/ He one call away
From erasing our small planet can you understand?
That amount of blood on a small orange hand?
From Heather Heyer to encouraging police to beat ‘em
On “Many Sides on Many Sides”/ Feed ‘em lies 
Illegalize our progress I guess they Beat the odds/
Got you believing that the Earth is flat and eating Tide Pods/
Social Media madness/ I vacillate between sadness and
Pure depression but the lesson’s possession of that top seat/
Doesn’t mean us people below/ are powerless unless
You throw up your hands and don’t vote.
So all of us off the boat from “Shithole Countries”/
Rapists, Murderers, Gays and Junkies
Unite for the fight if only for what’s right/
Take a second your fist in the air and shine your light
On these  
Rascists making noise...

No rappers would, so I guess I had to do it/
Fuck Betsy DeVos, Ryan Zinke and Scott Pruitt/
Climate Change is real, corporate greed has no conscious/
The earth is worth saving more than increasing their profit/
And we’re all in the same boat/
But you would never think it/ based upon the way
The captain and his crew are trying to sink it/
And a lot of baby boomer voters made a big mistake/
Because they’re white they thought he might
Share with them a piece of steak/ and for maybe
A thousand dollars more on their tax return/
They sold their country out man, Burn baby Burn/
It’s collective amnesia/ He “grabbed them by the pussy”?
Then Trump voters have no balls/ Living in fear still 
Hoping for a wall but the wall was in your mind the whole time/
Partisan politics made ‘em blind to objective reality/
But here’s some real news/ 
If we don’t take back our nationality, We all lose.
They got
Racists making noise..

I like to rap, and I love president Trump.

There is so much talent and variety here, and most of the people are pretty cool too. I love being part of this community. Listening to your music and being heard in return is enough.

Still reading? OK I'm gonna muse a bit. It's hard to fully convey how much this forum has meant to me. There are people I've never met that feel very much like old friends -- and in a very real way they are.
If I follow someone I make every effort to listen to and support their efforts. It's certainly not a transactional relationship but I do tend to limit my follows to people who engage in mutual listening and engagement.

But wait, there's more!  I embrace, celebrate, and revere the artistic creations that come from the heart regardless of skill level.  But, forgive me, but, goddammit there's too much production of soulless, empty same old shit music out there. I can't hang with downloaded shutterstock vocals, banal boy/girl BS lyrics, and recreations of the sounds that have already been done to death for years. Still with me? OK better to distill my relationships than engage in faux bonhomie.  And if you get what I mean more power to you.
