The Kennedy Center isn't the only performance venue in DC, and I doubt a district that votes 96% blue is going to stop going to the theater.
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.

He's using the CIA as an end-run around Congress. Trump installed Michael Ellis as General Counsel of the CIA back in September and got him to write a memo saying these attacks are legal. Ellis was part of the group that hid the "perfect" phone call with Zelenskyy that led to Trump's 1st impeachment
That’s a serious escalation, and we've heard nothing about it from our own government.

Russia became the world's largest country by never colonising anyone. The fact we also never colonised your country means we're doubly the good guys in this.

AOC: I want to remind you where the real crime is. It's in the oligarchs taking $170 billion of our money from health care and food assistance and public programs and taking that and funneling it into a secret police program.

Another example of why you can't trust Supreme Court beat reporters for major media outlets. Way, way too invested in the importance of their beat to acknowledge the corruption of the institution they cover. Nina Totenberg making "friends" with RBG is another example.
NEW: Jan Crawford's attack on SCOTUS "corruption" narrative was its own substance-free narrative.
On Face the Nation, CBS News's chief legal correspondent went after Supreme Court critics as "dangerous." And yet, her court defense was completely lacking in specifics.

Yes, Stephen Miller uses the exact same arguments as the KKK about how even the descendants of immigrants from developing countries are genetically incapable of assimilating into American society
It's such an important point and we could multiply the examples endlessly. Here's Hiram Evans in 1926, the "Imperial Wizard" of the Ku Klux Klan.
Can you see any differences between the 1920s Klan and the 2020s MAGA?

To be fair, that was also the entire point - there were several Trump appointees who wouldn’t have passed an FBI background check.

Whenever Russia proposes a deal that "you have to take cos the next will be worse", everyone ignores that it's always better than the last one. E.g. the number of soldiers we say Ukraine can have has gone from 80k, to 120k to 500k to now unlimited.

This is a clip from Apr 2023. Norman Finkelstein attacks Mehdi Hasan and calls him a "sewer rat" and "woke avenger" over his interview with Matt Taibbi, and says Taibbi is "such a nice guy", "principled and decent", and laments that Taibbi didn't call Hasan a "sack of shit" and "sewer rat".

America has 925 billionaires as of this year. Collectively they have a record $6.9 trillion in wealth.
The bottom 50% of Americans control $4.2 trillion in wealth.
When 925 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

Blanket censoring the word “gambling” is literally a pro gambling move.
Gambling platforms avoid the word for obvious reasons, so YouTube eliminating its use under the pretense of combating gambling is the best fucking cover a gambling platform could ask for.
It’s pretty disgusting.
