Good!!! There's precisely TWO shows that should be playing at the Kennedy center until the end of this nonsense: Les Miserables and Suffs the Musical. Bonus if they can get a medley of "Do You Hear the People Song" and "Keep Marching" #LesMis #Suffs @suffsmusical.bsky.social

If so many people really are being paid to go to these town halls and protests, as the President claims, why aren't there a bunch of people being paid to counter them?

"The path may be twisted and risky and slow, but keep marching. Keep marching. Will you fail or prevail? Well you may never know, but keep marching.
