Don't You Know? (Life Is Colourful) by @lehto, Renegades Of Jazz & The Motion Orchestra ✨
Life is colourful; we believe deeply in that. For 'Don't You Know?', three projects unite to underpin this attitude with a song.
A beautiful, classical intro drops into a hip-hop beat with grooving brass, and jazz, funk and electronic elements.

Know what that is in that photo?
It's a dumpster full of books —mostly LGBT stuff but others too— heading to the landfill.
Know what *that* is?
It's goddamned fascism.
This is what hate looks like.
This is what hate does.

“They don’t want to be seen with you in public. They don’t want to be on the record as sympathizing with any of your positions because they’re afraid that it will be used against them.”
Out today, from me, in LGBTQ Nation: Dallas-area town Frisco, #Texas supported #Pride ... but only when it was politically convenient. Now they're changing the rules to avoid honoring their #LGBTQIA+ community.

“…Many *#conservatives* have focused on #DEI not because of their moral & sometimes practical objections to #diversity efforts…but because it allows THEM to express underlying assumptions about the inherent inferiority of #Black people & #women implicitly, w/o sounding like THEY are making those assumptions themselves.“
