A few of requested we raise money for every single Democrat running for Senate in a seat currently held by Republicans. Here’s a cool one to get behind in Tennessee:
Marquita Bradshaw, an environmental justice advocate who has run her Senate campaign on a shoestring budget, won an upset victory in the state’s Democratic primary on Thursday, brushing aside a party-backed candidate who had significantly out-raised her.
Let’s some money for her:

Wow, I feel bad that no one has commented. Keep up the good work!

It’s an open seat. Her opponent is all in on 45. I say we go for it.

More to the point, getting ready for Endeavour tonight? I binge-watched the last couple of seasons to get caught up and am rested and ready.

@Steeplejack: have only managed to get partially thru season 3 thus far, pretty impressed thus far tho…

Are there points for guessing the band for that lyric title?

Contributed. Don’t know if she has a prayer but I’m all in on getting Republicans to defend every seat.

Hope she raises hell for certain in her home state!!
Make the Republican fascists work hard for every elector!!!

@piratedan:
It’s a good series. Great to binge-watch, because they do that maddening Brit thing where a “season” is four or six episodes and then they have to take a year off to rest up.

@zhena gogolia:
I thought it was great, although a tiny bit too neat around the edges. But they’re in good shape to head into the new season.
Must note that I was sorry to see the departure of WPC Trewlove. She was a great character.

@Steeplejack:
Yes, I really liked her. Her relationship with Bright was lovely.

I saw about her on Twitter after the primary and immediately began donating. She’ll probably get a shout out from Taylor Swift – it didn’t work with the old white guy last time, but hope springs eternal.

Adding her to my Must contribute list. I really hope she wins.

@Steeplejack: Ahem. Six episodes minimum, thank you. Sometimes we even manage eight. Although we have to have a nice lie-down halfway through.

@Morticum: Google told me the answer (only vaguely aware of that band/music), but I thought it might have come from this now classic indie rocker song, which I’ve never read the lyrics of until now:
I know the nervous walking
I know the dirty beard hangs
Out by the box car waiting
Take me away to nowhere plains
There is a wait so long
You’ll never wait so long
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
Here comes your man
A woman from anywhere (formerly Mohagan)
Thanks for putting this up. I kicked in some. Onward!

@mad citizen:
I knew it was Arrested Development right away. The line about climbing the trees their forefathers hung from and asking those trees for all their wisdom hit me the first time I heard it. I never quite saw it as a simple pop/rap song after that.
