There are many who do not see GAZA as Kushner and Trump’s commercial real estate development to profiteer from. The bogus “Board of Peace” is hawking a real estate development at Davos today:

👀 socal peeps!! This little kitty needs a home!
A neighbor was taken to a care facility, and her little tortoiseshell kitty was left behind. I can't take her in but I've been feeding her and giving her water every day. No one in the neighbor's family can take her in. Is there anyone in the Inland Empire area that could foster or adopt her?

I’m using Facebook a lot right now because it’s pretty much the only place we are getting news about the orchestra, and half my fucking ads are anti-abortion or TERF bullshit, their algorithm could not be more wrong about me

This is fucking chilling
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

These fucking politicians need to STOP CONSTANTLY admonishing protestors to be "peaceful" while they are being brutalized regularly by the gatekeepers of the state. You should be up there telling ICE and Border Patrol to be fucking peaceful.

Obviously I should be used to the double standards inherent in fascism by now but it’s nuts to see the same people who were defending Ashli Babbit decide that Renee Good deserved to be murdered

I feel dumb caring about this since my degrees have been in an envelope in the back of my closet for 18 years but I need them apostilled and for that they have to staple them to a cover sheet and how do we not have a more chic way to treat nice documents by now

The new get-angry-at-this being thrown up to chuds is this clarinetist from Knoxville complaining to the US Assistant AG for Civil Rights Harmeet Dhillon. James Zimmermann is complaining that he was denied the job despite being really good. No mention of his late night death threat emails!

And I think liberals should stop taking the bait and ceding ground on immigration.
Immigration is good. Multiculturalism is good. Free trade is good. Stop being embarrassed to say so.

People will always look for ways to blame artists having opinions and being human beings instead of ever considering holding management accountable
This is not hard. Artists are not responsible for ensuring the Kennedy Center remains relevant and successful. The center’s board is responsible for that, in a fiduciary way. All of this energy being directed at artists should be re-directed at the board.
