The possibly incoming President hasn’t specifically told me he doesn’t want my input on what to do in his first twelve days, so here he goes. Memo sent.

On his first day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Close the camps, set the families free

On his second day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Get brokers to sell groceries
And fully fund recovery

On his third day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Rejoin Paris climate
Outlaw all fracking
Come on, act like you love the earth

On his fourth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Pass the Green New Deal
I know you oppose it
But the people want it
Do you want to save the planet or not?

On his fifth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Medicare for all
Even though you hate it, cause it’s, ugh, socialism
69% have said do it now

On his sixth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
End the endless wars
Why not start with Yemen
Cut your ties to Saudi royal
Petro-dollar fascist bums
Fuck their oil, buy yourself a windmill

On his seventh day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Fire all the cops who kill with guns and knees
End white supremacy (long day!)
Teach whites to appreciate the neighbors they’ve oppressed
De-segregate and pay what Black folks are owed

On his eighth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Rejoin the Iran nuclear deal
Everyone’s in, only we are out
They are not the prob
No BS-ing, stop aggressing
Empire is done
Put your hawkish right wing self behind you…and us

On his ninth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
End support for Israel’s
Settler colonial
Racist apartheid
Ethnic cleansing practice
Of genocide
Which is pretty much exactly what was done right here
By our founding fathers and their kids

On his tenth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Kill the electoral college
It was racist then, not much better now
Don’t gerrymander
Fund the post office
Abolish states rights
If you really truly want to see democracy
Then abolish the Senate as well

On his eleventh day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Rescind travel bans
Nationalize Facebook, Amazon and Google
Bankers go to prison, not into the cabinet
It’s time to issue
An Executive order
for those who don’t like science
and would rather kill us all
Take a walk off the edge of the Earth

On his twelfth day in the White House, the voters said to Joe
Federalize elections with rank choice voting
Split the Democrats so people have a party
Let the people in
From countries we’ve destroyed
and Mr Biden
Tear down this wall
Triple the Supreme Court so that Roe v Wade is safe
And stop smelling women’s hair
