Trump’s weird obsession with the arts is part of the authoritarian playbook | His focus on the Kennedy Center fits a pattern. From Augustus to Stalin, strongmen have sought cultural control for their own ends.
"On Monday, the president’s motorcade disgorged him at the building. By this point, his and Melania Trump’s portraits, alongside those of vice-president JD Vance and his wife Usha, had been screwed to the wall beside the concert hall stage door."

@JPummil Have you ever thought of taking over the programming for the Center? 🤣






Jules. One of those movies that I absolutely love, but whoever I recommend it to ends up swearing at me.

Ben Kingsley just needs someone to help with his little garden that was wrecked. Is that too much to ask. Geez.

Pretty darn good turnout for #TeslaTakedown today in Golden Vally, MN: I counted at least 350, and somebody else said 380.

That’s up from ~210 last week, and 100+ the week before.

See you there next Saturday? 11am until 12-something!

One-fifth of Americans plan to permanently boycott companies that have aligned their policies with Donald Trump’s agenda.

The survey, conducted by the Harris Poll, underscores a growing consumer backlash that could have lasting economic implications.

As major corporations such as Amazon, Target, and Tesla face economic boycotts, the poll suggests that consumer sentiment may be shifting in ways that businesses have underestimated.

the list of companies to boycott should be posted widely, that would help spread awareness and encourage others to participate. (and not just in America)

The Zionist state is on the verge of economic collapse and many of its citizens are leaving, but shush, don’t tell anyone.

In fact, no one is talking about this, certainly not in Tel Aviv or Israel’s friends in the Western media, in case it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.

There are too many lies and secrets propping up Israel and its supporters.
