this is the task ahead: the literal and figurative Reconstruction of America
it shouldn’t be like this, but it’s also a blank canvas and new frontier
it shouldn’t be like this, but it’s also a blank canvas and new frontier
A reminder that the Kennedy Center is the literal and legal and congressional designated presidential memorial to JFK. This would be like Trump tearing down the Lincoln Memorial to build something “better.”

I’ve been thinking more about this nonsense and what it means. I don’t think it’s a flex — a performative expression of power and intimidation — like the advertisements for ICE positions. Too obscure and lacking in flair. Instead I think it likely reflects real internal problems.
