Is anyone else attending? #EduSky #TheatreSky

All that blustering about how a new Chairman/Board was needed to make the Kennedy Center great again- that the Kennedy Center was failing and needed to stage shows that people actually wanted to see? The 2025-2026 theatre season was FINALLY announced today and, guess what? Drumroll, please.....

I'm playing ostrich right now- briefly sticking my head in the sand on politics/policy. My kinders are writing monologues "tricking" their audience into believing kitchen utensils are alive. Have some fun and take a minute, like they are, to think what these items might say about their day. #EduSky

Ugh. And I have seen what he has done to the Presidential Boxes in the main stage theatres. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

The House is STILL holding DC's budget hostage. The CR treats DC as a federal agency and, mid-spending year, reverted the District to 2024 budget levels. DC faces $1B in cuts across services. This is DC taxpayer $ (NO fed $). Please call your reps or the Speaker- he's the one holding up the vote.

This is a friend's school. The activity is commonplace enough now that principals are giving teachers scripts that detail how to interact with ICE when they come on campus. #EduSky wtop.com/dc/2025/03/d...

While we looked away, the House sidelined a vote to give DC its budget $. Imagine the powder keg DC will be with out-of-work federal employees being joined by those let go from DC schools, fire, and police when a 16% across the board cut goes into effect. Call your Reps! wamu.org/story/25/03/...

Wouldn't it be a shame if the response included thousands of forms praising teachers and vilifying what is going on at DoE under McMahon? It would be so very very sad.... #EduSky #AltGov

I saw this. I do not know if it is valid. Can anyone confirm or refute?

The new Board of Trustees at the Kennedy Center/new President, under the leadership of FOTUS, has cancelled the TYA tour of Finn. #EduSky #TheatreSky Note that all KC programming is funded by the Kennedy Center. No federal money supports these efforts. This is what censorship looks like.

Wasn't the promise that we would be respected internationally again part of FOTUS's platform? From the Polity Project
