For the #History theme for this week's #JukeBoxFridayNight, here's "Prisoner" by Scottish folk singer Dick Gaughan. My father introdued me to this song and it's stuck with me. At the time I'd known nothing of German Nobel Peace Prize winner Carl von Ossietzky and his fate.
Caution: it's a grim song, with an uneasy message. We cannot let this history repeat.
"In the struggle against injustice
He fought hard and he fought long
Child - remember Ossietsky
Peace won't come by words alone" -

Your regular reminder that #Fascist draft dodging #DonaldTrump trying to unconstitutionally label "Antifa violence" as "terrorism" would mean every single Allied #WWII #veteran is a "terrorist" by their insane "definition". *EVERYONE* that kicks Nazi asses is literally an #Antifacist. Vance was right, Trump is officially "America's Hitler" now.
