The hit from Al Green's 1974 release "Al Green Explores Your Mind" was "Sha-La-La (Make Me Happy)". The LP's 2nd track was picked up by Talking Heads, becoming one of their well known songs.

Clearly, this is super racist coming from Boebert and directed at Green, but I also generally loathe the association in our culture between a medical device being nice to look at, and exploiting sex workers.

People have said this about my canes before and no thank you.

"there's no real difference between the parties so why even vote?"

This cannot be your message!

So I'm pretty upset with the phatic response of Slotkin after the address to congress last week.

Al Green had the only response worth paying attention to and as a result, his campaign will be the only one I donate money to until my own reps find courage to say and do what needs to be said an done.

I said as much in this survey[1] the DNC sent me. I'm sharing with you and you should tell them too.

Face à Donald Trump, les démocrates sont si désemparés qu’ils réfléchissent à «faire les morts»

«Il vaut mieux se lever tout seul que pas du tout.» Interrogé samedi sur la chaîne #MSNBC, l’élu du Texas Al Green, 77 ans, justifiait ainsi le fait d’avoir interrompu le discours de Donald Trump devant le Congrès mardi dernier. #AlGreen #USpol #uspolitics #Democrats #Démocratie
