Kennedy Center Christmas Eve jazz concert canceled after Trump's name added
A planned Christmas Eve jazz concert at the Kennedy Center was canceled, with the host of the longtime annual performance attributing the decision to the addition of Republican U.S. President Donald Trump's name to the institution in Washington.

However you celebrate these seasonal holidays, with whomever and wherever, I wish you all some beautiful lovely days ahead—as quiet or loud as you like them to be (as my friend Hana told me recently)
For a 2026 in which we get rid of fascism and wars; wishful thinking, I know, but let’s just hope.

His analogy is that public health has built a temple, an Acropolis, but that will be destroyed. "You don't try to go back and put a scaffold around the Acropolis to fix it. You build the Sistine Chapel. So my advice is detachment from from Legacy organizations that are going to be destroyed."

“Why are ppl always so afraid of crime?”
THIS is why. When crime goes up, media trips over itself to report it.

I count 10 cities in 2025 that are on track to have the fewest murders since at least 1970. Newark is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1956 (though only have data through Oct this year) and San Francisco is on pace to have the fewest murders since 1942.

Bari Weiss saw that famous Malcolm X quote - “If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing” - and saw a business model
Her whole thing is “No, it is the executives who are actually oppressed.”
Once you view any decision she makes through that lens, everything makes sense, including how she’s gotten to where she is.

In 2022, Bari Weiss ran this viral first-person piece by a top Levi’s executive. She claimed she was hounded out of the company because of her vocal stance on COVID restrictions.
There are no quotes from the company. Or her colleagues.
Not even a “no comment.”

This is a hit job. The "conflict of interest" is that Jesse's day job aligns with the values that got him elected.
In Santa Monica, the FPPC has disqualified pro-housing Councilmember Jesse Zwick from all future housing votes. They said that because he works for a housing non-profit, he’s “conflicted” and must recuse.
Pretty absurd. The NIMBY deep state strikes again.

The time to demand Bondi’s resignation or impeachment is NOW. Press them hard, put them on the defensive, and make this a key issue in the midterms.
It highlights everything wrong with the GOP — cult like loyalty to Trump, complete lawlessness, elite entitlement, etc.

#EpsteinCoverup is so blatantly hamfisted, it's political malpractice if Dems don't attack full bore: Impeach Bondi as the means to make it a defining issue next year in run-up to midterms.
Removing this obviously distributed-a-billion-times photo of Trump w/Melania, Epstein, & Maxwell from the DOJ release of files only points out the FBI team's foolish, slapdash attempt to cover up *any existence* of the adjudicated sexual assaulter FOTUS in them.
