Republicans, observing young González
Removed at night, thought they could take some solace
From hearings showing Reno as a baddie.
But now it seems the hearings are on hold,
‘Cause, finally, the leadership’s been told
That people want this boy back with his daddy.

The leader, who is Lott of Mississippi,
Encouraged by the anti-Commie lip he
Could hear from demonstrations on the lawn,
Forgot that folks from Santa Fe to Yonkers
Consider that crowd absolutely bonkers.
At times Trent has some trouble catching on.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From illegal war on Iran to an inhumane fuel blockade of Cuba, from AI weapons to crypto corruption, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
