Normalization is collaboration. Silence is betrayal. Obedience is cowardice.

Buffy Sainte-Marie performing “My Country ‘Tis of Thy People You’re Dying” on Pete Seeger’s Rainbow Quest in 1965.

My point in the song is that the American people haven’t been given a fair share at learning the true history of the American Indian. They know neither the state of poverty that the Indians are in now nor how it got to be that way. I try to tell the side of the story that’s left out of the history books, that can only be found in the documents, the archives and in the memories of the Indians themselves.

regarding this comment. here’s a public service announcement: **IF YOU COME ACROSS AN AMERICAN ARTIST, WRITER, JOURNALIST OR MUSICIAN RIGHT NOW WHO HAS NO POLITICAL OPINIONS AND/OR IS AFRAID OF TALKING POLITICS, BE VERY CONCERNED.**

go back to germany in 1935 and tell paul klee, bertolt brecht and the other poets, musicians, painters and novelists that “politics” had nothing to do with their “real lives”.

“life stories…”? “things about my child….”?

these ARE the stories of my life.

if i thought that donald trump was going to have no effect on my life story…the story of my child…the story of my 300 million american brothers and sisters…i’d shut up. really i would.

it’s a good time to drag this evergreen quote out:

“First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—Because I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

-from Martin Niemöller, 1892–1984, who was a prominent Protestant pastor / outspoken public foe of Adolf Hitler and spent the last seven years of Nazi rule in concentration camps.

are you ready to speak? are you ready to listen?

because it’s about to get very, VERY loud.

and it must, because if we don’t speak now, we will regret it.

love, amanda

This song will eventually be added to and mixed and mastered and on my next solo album.

I don’t know if I will leave this one up for long but you can give it a listen. This week/month/year has been super unreal. This is a song about mental illness and anxiety and how it manifests itself inside my body.

There is a nod to Leonard Cohen at the end. He said:

“There is a crack in everything, That’s how the light gets in.”

I say something kinda like that.

Rest in peace Mr. Cohen.

The picture for this track is of me in the campus housing apartment that the party in the song was at. I was 19. That picture is from a couple months after neo-nazis threatened to rape and kill me but I got away and they killed someone I had been hanging out with instead. Asian kid. 17 years old. Crushed his skull.

The fact that Trump was elected and reading about all of the bold acts of hate that have happened in the past few days has me paralyzed. As if the systemic oppression and violence in this country, that has been a problem since this land was colonized, didn’t already have me fucked up enough.

Anxiety turned up to 11.

There’s a whole lot of mess up in these tangles.

And cracks.

And light.

(I get knocked down but I get up again)

I am here for all my marginalized peeps. Black, POC, Native, Muslim, Immigrant, Disabled, LGBTQI, etc.

It’s a long fight and I am in it with you.

But I gotta catch my breath.

Life is hard.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself.

And remember that I love you.

while Trump and Obama met in DC to discuss the peaceful transfer of power, Palmer and DiFranco held their own meeting in NY to discuss a peaceful revolution to counter-attack the hatred, bigotry and intolerance of this man at any cost.

so many loved ones are truly afraid right now for their safety, their literal healthcare, their futures. people are mobilizing. the NYCLU came onto stage last night with me and explained exactly what is at stake for many of our civil liberties (and if you’re a woman or a minority, things are not looking up).

my friends : forces are aligning, a massive movement of all of us who stand for peace and progress and inclusion is being lit into action, and we will be calling for you.

we will need you. this is not a drill.

love will trump hate, and it’s not just words. we are organizing the details, because this battle will be long and hard.

stand up, hands up, to be counted among the resistance.

let’s go.
