Very hard not to choose American Idiot, an album I truly love, but it had to be Hot Fuss. I remember whose car I was in and where we were in Mobile the first time someone had me listen to All These Things That I’ve Done.

everyone who wants Democrats to focus on throwing immigrants and trans people under the bus needs to explain why this is not going to be the end result
