Hundreds of artists signed a letter sent to the National Endowment for the Arts asking it to reverse policy changes made as a result of recent executive orders issued by President Trump.

Don't ask for anything, just refuse to do what they want. I don't understand why anyone is cooperating with them or even listening to them. They legally can't fire all the people they want to fire. Refuse to comply, then sue when they fire you. If everyone did that, MAGA would lose a lot of momentum
Well, that is government funding. It is funding artistic expression. Trump and his Nazis are saying they will withhold or withdraw funding if it’s used for certain topics. That is government censorship as prohibited under the 1st amendment.
I mean i agree it's evil and probably a 1st amendment violation, and whatever levers can be pulled, should be--including the NEA ignoring the order. But none of these artists have standing to sue. I actually think a pressure campaign is their best tool--tho I wish it was public.
Should be thousands and every person who's investing there. Everyone who doesn't support Trump should cancel membership, pull money, etc. Time to sacrifice excess.
The logic behind how these laws are being applied is deeply flawed. Simply showing that other people exist is not a crime. And it’s not promoting anything. Sometimes the point of goal of an artist is to cause an emotional reaction from its viewer, whether it’s sadness or joy.
There is a difference between promoting and exposing! Everyone has a response to things and feels differently from each other.We all
Have a different perspective. Just please be kinder to each other! Kindness in our local communities matters more than anything right now!

This dude is 100% going to use the National Endowment to do that very same thing. Because that’s what every dictator or aspiring dictator does.
Republican budget will add $25 trillion to our national debt.

Let's ask Elon and his pet Felon why no cuts or firings at the Pentagon?
