If you support this, you’re an awful human being

Given developments at the Kennedy Center, effective today I am resigning as artistic advisor to the NSO. Not for me. It’s been a wonderful 8 years working with Kennedy Center President Deb Rutter, fellow artistic advisor Renee Fleming, NSO artistic administrator Justin Ellis, and the entire NSO

This sniveling sycophant claims to be a constitutional scholar. He will let our Republic die before he’ll summon the courage to lift a single finger in its defense. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/11/u...

This was my nightmare on inauguration day and it all came true immediately, in ways far worse than I imagined. People simply refusing to see or acknowledge what is happening in front of their noses.

Donald Trump says he loves Canada. That's why he wants to destroy our nation. In Canada our kids don't worry about being shot at school. Our families don't go bankrupt if they get sick. And Canada sure as shit doesn't let convicted perverts take over our government. What do you think? #strongasfuck

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination. By @alecmac.bsky.social

JD Vance is saying the quiet part out loud: the Trump administration intends to break the law. America is a nation of laws. The courts make sure we follow the laws. The VP doesn’t control the courts, and the President cannot ignore the Constitution. No one is above the law.

Putin got exactly what he wanted with trump. Republicans need to be hammered with this every day. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The stupidity is off the charts. Plenty of good descriptions for him in this list.

Who wants to be the 51st version of this?

Hey Elon👋🏽 Every single person in this country deserves to know their rights. That's legal. Maybe you should brush up on our laws given the fact you're breaking them to steal American's sensitive data. PS. This video is manipulated, and I wasn't even at the event shown.

🧵USAID Accomplishments: In 2024, USAID partnered with UNICEF to launch the Partnership for a Lead-Free Future, securing $150 million in initial funding. Global lead poisoning affects half of the children in low-income countries & causes ~1.5 million deaths annually. www.vox.com/future-perfe...

The international community is booing the US national anthem, the vast majority of fentanyl comes in via US citizens, and the Biden administration secured the same deal of 10,000 border troops in 2021 without plunging the country (and markets) into chaos. But sure, great work 👍

FACT CHECK: Canada has already announced this plan BEFORE Trump announced his tariffs.

Trump is letting the richest man in the world wreak havoc on our government. It's unconstitutional and it's dangerous. Democrats must fight back. And that starts by voting no on his nominees. I urge my colleagues to join me. We cannot confirm any more of Trump's chaos cabinet.

Trump to deport 504,000 Venezuelans. "Buoyed by Trump and Florida legislators’ hard-line rhetoric against Venezuela’s dictatorship, Venezuela’s exile community had overwhelmingly supported Trump in the 2024 U.S. elections." Leopard, meet face. www.miamiherald.com/news/local/n...

The men carrying out Musk's coup are Akash Bobba, Edward Coristine, Luke Farritor, Gautier Cole Killian, Gavin Kliger, and Ethan Shaotran. Make them famous. And, eventually, when possible, arrest them and charge them with multiple felonies. www.wired.com/story/elon-m...

See below a joint statement from the Liberal Party of Canada leadership candidates on President Donald Trump's unjustified tariffs.

I want to spell out the basic reason it’s so dangerous for Elon to have control of the U.S. payments system. It may seem like a technical matter, but the dynamics are simple. 1/x

If Donald Trump slaps 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, we must hit back—dollar for dollar—starting with 100% tariffs on all Tesla vehicles and U.S. wine, beer, and spirits. We must protect Canadian workers and businesses. chrystiafreeland.ca

Trump blowing up what was once a mutually beneficial relationship just for his own fascist ego is utterly demented. I will celebrate the day I read his obituary.

🧵 THREAD: Trump and Rubio have arrested the international humanitarian aid system and forced lifesaving aid programs to completely halt operations — despite an announcement earlier in the week claiming they had changed course. 1/
