Sixteen-year-old high school student Emma Stevens sang a version of The Beatles’ “Blackbird” in her native Mi’kmaq, to raise awareness of Indigenous languages and culture. Here & Now’s Robin Young speaks to Stevens and Katani Julian, who translated the song, about the experience. The audio of the interview is here
============================
I thought this was so beautiful. The interview is good, too, if you have time.
What a day. I have so many thoughts on everything, but a full day of work to distract me. Last night Kamala Harris said that she’d pursue charges against Trump after he’s out of office, and I think I want to hear all the Dem candidates make a similar pledge.
For now, I’m still for slow walking impeachment and following Speaker Pelosi’s lead. Her entire focus seems to be getting Trump out of office one way or the other. And Rick Wilson made me laugh with this take:

McConnell is still my biggest concern as his traitorous behavior seems to be putting democracy at risk daily. So taking back the Senate is imperative.
I’m hoping his guy can show Graham the door:
I may not be a superhero, but I am a proud South Carolinian, and I'm ready to fight for a better future for our state and our country. I hope you are, too. Find out how you can #JoinJaime and get involved: https://t.co/2jIqtqbKAB pic.twitter.com/zTjktJ1RpA

With a good campaign, I really think a hollow core door could beat Corey Gardner. And we have some good candidates in the running against him. So I am hopeful there.
What do you think the next steps should be in regards to Trump, Barr, impeachment, etc?
