No more lies: A mobilizing mixtape -- Dennis Hartley

https://digbysblog.net/2025/04/05/no-more-lies-a-mobilizing-mixtape/



Stand, you’ve been sitting much too long
There’s a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand, there’s a midget standing tall
And a giant beside him about to fall

— from “Stand” by Sly & the Family Stone

It isn’t nice to carry banners
Or to sit in on the floor,
Or to shout our cry of Freedom
At the hotel and the store.
It isn’t nice, it isn’t nice,
You told us once, you told us twice,
But if that is Freedom’s price,
We don’t mind.


— from “It Isn’t Nice” by Malvina Reynolds
