This is exactly right. The Kennedy Center is now a poison pill and no artist who values american democracy should go anywhere near it while the tangerine shreds the constitution. There are plenty of other places for performances and your audiences will follow.

RUSSIA! RUSSIA! RUSSIA! You may believe Trump is a Russian asset, you may not But the facts remain facts. And they're worse than you think. Soviet and Russian intelligence identified, groomed, and leveraged Trump as an asset ...starting all the way back in the 1980s. A thread. 🧵 Trump 1/

Not an exaggeration. We are living through a geopolitical earthquake and the future of the planet depends on people recognizing that and, sadly, that the United States government is no longer on the side of democracy, the rule of law, the international order, progress, security or decency.

After the Brown v. Board decision, white people across the South opened hundreds of private schools. 70 years later, most of the ones still open in Alabama’s Black Belt remain overwhelmingly white. In this town, one school keeps kids divided. (Published May 2024)
