My torn, unraveled self
I’m locked outside myself
I see me shiver”

Sadcore Sundays: “Melatonin” by A Tribe Called Quest
Trump signed an executive order that blocks Syrian refugees indefinitely, other refugees from 120 days and puts a 90-day freeze on people from seven countries regardless of their visa status because they’re considered “high terrorism risks.” Clearly this executive order was a way to ban Muslims legally. We the people protested and the ACLU took immediate action in federal court the day after the executive order was signed and the judge granted a stay on the ban. Many people who were detained are currently still stuck with Customs Border and Patrol but thanks to our nation’s quick action, we’re getting them out and back with their loved ones as fast as we can.
Today’s Sadcore Sundays song pick is “Melatonin” by A Tribe Called Quest because one of their members is Muslim identifying and because their latest album “We Got it From Here… Thank You 4 Your Service” is mostly about the Trump administration that they predicted would come true. When your heart allows, I highly recommend listening to their album and reading their lyrics. But until then, “Melatonin” is a calm choice to show support for a Muslim identifying artist and a band that is not afraid to be firm and open with their political position; neutrality and silence will not protect us. Also, I find this song super relatable during our current political climate because I have needed Melatonin a lot recently to help unwind and let myself sleep. Self-care is crucial as we continue fighting for justice <3 Take care of yourself please, we need to stay strong because together, we are powerful and can change the world <3 <3 <3
**Note that I couldn’t find the song on Youtube however it is listed on Spotify and is on SoundCloud if you have

“my skin would burn
i’d become blind
insanity took its turn
and drove me straight into your car
screaming yelling begging for you to just show me your heart”
