Amazing: “But the Kennedy Center is not the current owner of trumpkennedycenter.org or trumpkennedycenter.com — because back in August, comedy writer Toby Morton registered those two domain names, expecting Trump and his allies to add Trump’s name to the D.C. landmark.”
Comedy Writer Bought ‘Trump Kennedy Center’ Domain Names, Anticipating President Would Rename Institution After Himself: ‘Satire Became Unavoidable’
In August, former 'South Park' writer Toby Morton registered 'TrumpKennedyCenter' domain names, anticipating that Trump would add his name to the D.C. landmark.

This is perfect. The DOJ's embarrassing snafu with disappearing redactions was the fault of Elon Musk. Musk cancelled government subscriptions to Adobe programs that would have made the redactions permanent. What a pack of fools.

Sobering but essential read:
It's true that Garland did nothing about Trump and Epstein while being completely aware of the crimes. The crimes were public information! Garland was installed to protect the DOJ, which protects Trump and Epstein. It's explained in this free 2023 article. sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

@sarahkendzior.bsky.social is exactly correct in that “justice” has never been an intended part of this story. Instead it’s been to get us accustomed to the idea of “They’re rich and powerful so they can do what they want and we can’t do anything about it.” Read her work.
There has long been enough evidence to indict and the slow release is intended to 1) further torment Epstein victims 2) get Americans used to child rape by elites 3) flaunt impunity, since there have been no meaningful consequences for perpetrators 4) arrive right when AI casts everything in doubt.

This was apparently very difficult for Democratic voters to see at the time, but there was no excuse for denying or avoiding these truths then, and there's no excuse for ignoring them now.
People keep mistaking genuine horror for politicking.

The people who supported the DOJ under Biden/Trump condone child rape. They defended officials who protected child rapists.

Other people saw this as a clear moral horror and condemned the DOJ. That's the actual divide. It's not between parties.

Can vouch for this and for the researchers cited here.

But an important caveat …

Protests aren’t magic and there needs to be a strategy behind them.

Also, effecting change through a protest movement is a marathon, not a sprint.

Trump and company have broken nearly every law imaginable, including trafficking, murder, assault. They’ve shredded the constitution. They’ve created a secret, unaccountable police. They’ve been bribed, misused public funds.

At some point you have to draw a line and saw this is unacceptable.

It’s not enough to beat MAGA at the ballot box, these criminals need held accountable to ensure this will never happen again.

Anyone asking for our vote needs to commit to prosecuting Trump and his cadre of corrupt conspirators for their crimes.

It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans.

Brilliant from @adamserwer.bsky.social: the Roberts Court's attack on the Reconstruction Amendments are "consistent with the Antebellum Constitution’s narrow definition of who “We the People” are."

Here are some legal historians exploring the Antebellum Const.

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.
